Looking for a Stable Investment in an Unstable Market?

Risk Averse?

First off, isn’t it great to buy a house these days with such low interest rates?  Our parents paid upwards of 14% back in the 80s for a mortgage and we are paying something like 3-4% nowadays.  Because interest rates are so low, it has downstream effects.  It’s great for home buyers to afford a lower monthly payment without paying too much interest on the loan.  The economy has been stimulated over the past 4 years providing a tremendous bull market leaving stocks at record highs.  How do you think this impacts banks and financial institutions?

Investing Ideas – Which Brokerage Account to Use

When you finally feel it’s time to invest, where do you go?  How do you start?

Keep the fees down with more money in your pocket!

It’s a very important decision when choosing a brokerage account provider.  Nowadays, most of them are very similar and offer very comparable services, but there are some out there that will charge $30 per trade instead of less than $10 per trade if you don’t look closely.  An expensive brokerage account can really eat up into your potential ROI with too many fees.
