Life Insurance As An Investment In Your Future
When my older brother suffered stroke and is hospitalized for almost a month, I experienced what it like is to have a family member as a patient. Suffering a stroke is a problem in itself, but add to that, the expenses, stress, the time and energy spent, you have a much bigger problem. If you are not prepared, you could be overwhelmed. This grim reality, prompted me to do something for myself.

It needs to be understood that most paper and card is
manufactured for a specific purpose, so that whilst the

destined for the archives. It is made to look good, but only
needs a limited ...Read the rest of this entry »

As unlikely as this sounds, experience proves it, irrefutably. Few investors grow to love volatility as I do, but most expect it in the Market Value of their equity positions. When dealing with Fixed Income Securities however, neither they nor their advisors are comfortable with any downward movement at all. Most won't ...Read the rest of this entry »

Split Refunds: Automatically Increase Your Savings
If you're like many taxpayers, you use your tax refund as a "forced savings" plan. You may be using this money right away when you get it for large purchases or moving it into an interest-bearing savings account. Since 2007, the IRS has been making saving your tax refund easier through split refunds.
What is a Split Refund?

SA Property Investment
There are probably very few forms of investment where you don't
need money to make money.
When you try borrowing money from your local bank to purchase
shares in that bank you will most certainly be shown the door in
a polite way! This will quicly prove to you that you will need
your own money to attempt making money on the stock exchange!
On the other hand, if you ask them for a sizable loan to
purchase a property, they will probably do everything they can
to make it possible for you to use ...Read the rest of this entry »
