Wednesday, March 28, 2007 The Best Investment Education You Can Get… And It's Free
by Alexander Green, Chairman, Investment U
As current Chairman of Investment U, I have to say I'm duly impressed by the overall quality of analysis and opinion provided by my two predecessors, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud and Dr. Mark Skousen. Whether the subject is how to earn more, save more, cut your taxes, increase your returns, or lower your risk profile, the information offered in these columns has invariably been accurate, insightful, and straight to the point.
Our thrice-weekly column is the perfect format for busy readers seeking to complete their investment education or learn the finer points of intelligent risk-taking. I look forward to maintaining the tradition that's been established here - and continuing the education and analysis that has won Investment U over 300,000 subscribers. Before long, we'll be adding some new features and benefits as well. So stay tuned… It's a shame, really, that much of what is offered here - at no charge - is not taught in the public schools. Why is it that you can graduate in the top of your high school class and know next to nothing about credit card debt, adjustable-rate mortgages, or 401(k)s? Beyond the basics, most investors learn the hard way (or too late) about penny stocks, margin accounts, market timing, hedge funds, surrender penalties, limited partnerships, tax-managed investing, futures trading, full-service brokers, Roth IRAs, estate planning, momentum investing, arbitrage, home equity loans, program trading, coin grading, private equity, junk bonds, insider trading, trailing stops, Dutch auctions, option strategies, short selling, load-funds, bank rates, deep-discount brokers, whole and universal life insurance, fixed and variable annuities, and fee-based financial planning. Don't get me wrong. These financial alternatives are neither good nor bad. They are simply tools. And like the tools in your garage, they can be used to build… or they can be used to destroy. Investment U's Mission Our mission is to analyze and discuss all the important financial tools at your disposal. And to make sure, too, that you use them effectively to jump-start your net worth, cut your investment costs dramatically, reduce your risk profile and, most importantly, achieve and maintain total financial independence. It's the latter point that is truly our goal here at Investment U. Because no one has the opportunity to live his life fully if he's a slave to his job, his financial obligations, or his overhead. Or, worse, if he's worried he won't be able to maintain a comfortable retirement… or leave behind some kind of legacy. The essential truth of modern economic life is that money gives you choices. Chief among these is the opportunity to do what you want, where you want, with whom you want. That's what financial freedom is all about. It's too bad we don't discover this at a younger age. But then, it's never too late to start learning… or to finish our investment education. I applaud each of you for taking a few minutes each week to discover what "no books, no schools, no brokers will teach you." And I encourage you to take a moment and introduce Investment U to any friends, family members, or colleagues whom you feel might benefit from a subscription. And urge them to sign up at www.investmentu.com. Over time, the insights and analysis offered by Investment U can make a dramatic difference in any investor's net worth and financial security. And you can hardly beat the price… After all, it's free. Good Investing, Alex P.S. The easiest way to share Investment U with someone you know is to direct him or her to www.investmentu.com.
