If you’re interested in learning more about how your investments and the economy are correlated, listen to Josh Brown. In my opinion, he’s one of the greatest investment minds out there currently. He’s no B.S. and really very plugged into the markets, economy and everything related. VERY important in times like these. I read everything I can get my hands on by Benjamin Graham, Nick Murray, Brian Wesbury, Warren Buffet and for the last bunch of years, more and more DOWNTOWN Josh Brown. Just watch an episode and you’ll get it!

The stock market is our friend…most of the time. If you’re in the stock market, which I hope you are with an appropriate percentage of your net worth, you must participate properly for your investment timeline & risk tolerance. “Risk Tolerance” is an interesting term, because people’s risk tolerance varies based on many variables such as age, net worth, investment experience, employment status, politics, the economy and other tangible factors and experiences in your life. An individual’s upbringing and parents have a huge influence, as does their coworkers, friends and media… Don’t allow these to throw you off of your financial planning game!! You shouldn’t listen to just anyone on the internet either…become educated and find some trusted professionals to help you with your financial, tax and legal needs.

The people at Ritholtz Wealth Management provide wonderful articles with timely perspective and you should be a subscriber as I am!

So, you’d like to be a serious investor? Pick yourself up a copy of this book!

It’ll educate you better than anything on social media…be VERY CAREFUL who you learn about money from. You should learn from the best and brightest in the world who have invaluable knowledge and experience.

We might not accumulate the wealth of an investment titan such as Warren Buffet, BUT we can learn the principles and apply them to our own life and become more successful because of the education we can glean from him and others who’ve published their experiences.

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Here is THE book recounting the life and times of one of the most respected men in the world, Warren Buffett. The legendary Omaha investor has never written a memoir, but now he has allowed one writer, Alice Schroeder, unprecedented access to explore dir.....
