So I met with my Edward Jones rep 2 weeks ago and he informed me that my ROTH IRA is being invested 100% in NPFBX. Keep in mind, 9 months ago, my goal was to just get a ROTH IRA started again. Now that I’m a bit futher along in my journey, I figured I’d [...]
I can almost guarantee that every person on the planet over the age of 15 has asked this question before. And there are a lot of answers for it that thousands (if not millions) of people will tell you how to spend your money if you don’t want to search for yourself. My blog is [...]
So I got to thinking yesterday in writing about changing the funds around in my 401k, that people may or may not know the reasoning and benefits of a 401k; and I may be putting the cart before the horse. So I figured it best to start at the ground floor… Many companies offer a 401K retirement [...]

I thought I had some good points to contribute, and stories to tell even though I’m nowhere near retirement. I really have had a few bad investment mistakes along the way, and I’m sure I’ll run into more in the future, but that’s one of the points of MyInvestingBlog.com – figuring this stuff out! The [...]
In StumblingUpon the internet, you’ll come across some interesting graphs and charts that really open your eyes to what has been happening. How bad is this particular stock market slump? I’d say bad enough to make charts and graphs really jump out at you. At the beginning of this blog’s existence back in the prehistoric [...]
I would love to be able to say it is just my pessimistic side, but you are not really guessing when you see facts. Charts tend to follow a pattern and aren’t random at all. Beware where you think your money is, and more importantly, where it’ll go if you’re not careful…
