Why Are You Investing Your Money?

Too many new investors write me and ask questions about whether they should buy this stock or that stock, consider real estate or bonds, or even go back to college or not.  A significant portion of them are missing one important element: They don’t have a clue why they are trying to invest.  Sure, they have some vague, fuzzy notion about being richer than they are now.  That’s not good enough.  If you really want to be successful, it begins by identifying what it is, precisely, you are after.  For example, saying “I want to invest money to generate income” is nebulous at best.  A much better statement is, “I want to collect $ 3,000 a month in dividends, interest, and rents.”  That is tangible.  That we can work with.  A few math calculations will tell you what it would take to achieve that goal.

To get started, I want you to read tonight’s new article, Before You Begin Investing, You Need to Figure Out Why You Want to Invest. It lists some of the more common reasons you might be considering building your first portfolio.
