Thread: Investments

Just checked and it's dropped. I looked a couple months ago. It's 2.45% now at E-Loan

Whats the minimum requirement and for how many years ?

Don't forget to factor in tax consequences of investments and withdrawals. I think a Roth is a pretty good bet. As far as 401K. I'd say its at least smart to put in enough up until a company matches and then consider additional savings based on tax savings by contributing. But the markets are full of risk and I'm certainly disappointed in my performance the last 10 years thru Vanguard. People keep saying its only a paper loss, but the way I see things, it took 7 years for mine to get back even when the market crashed and it just dumped again the last month or so. At some point, I'll need it and it won't be a paper loss! I'm 52 and probably should have moved a lot of mine over to safer funds, but thought I'd let it keep trying to get back up. Too late now. I'm leaving it alone.

Hmm...for normal folk in your situation, I'd point to a Roth IRA, but in your case, I'd invest in a fuel/water separator and a quality onboard charger.

Safest bet I know is to always take the "under" on whether WB gets a limit!!!

I invested in a wife with a realy good job .

About the smartest guy I have ever heard is Dave Ramsey for investments & financial planning....he has a radio program daily and a website......his big deal is teaching young folks the pitfalls of credit cards and showing them how to pay off everything.....he also has recommendations on his website on where to spread your money around on the market.....

If the fed raises interest rates, or quits pumping 80 billion a month into the system, watch out ! It needs to happen. When it does happen the "money bubble" will bust. May make 2008 look like a down turn. Jmho
