All this talk about Investing is encouraging lately. Over last few years, more people have become interested in duty to invest there money, then ever before. However, when you follow most investment offers to their logical conclusion, they are disgustingly futile.Yet, many people take up these "offers" nonetheless. Why?
As I mentioned at opening comments. We really aren't interested in investing, its compounding we want. Its compounding of our seed capital over a specified amount of time that produces results for us. When most people refer to investing, they really mean compounding their money.
The government accredited investment advisors and other peddlers of paper financial tools offer 7% compounding where ever you go. Didn't anybody tell them we dont live for 200 years? Thats how long it would take to see any reasonably interesting return. Even then, in 200 years, inflation would eat up half of gains. Why do so many settle for these returns?
Maybe lack of choice. But I believe we have simply swallowed line "the higher reward higher risk" Therefore, logic goes, settle for a very small 7% compounder, and my money will be safe. (Whether it is or not, is a matter for Gods)
Its just not so. Many low yielding investments are VERY risky.
Want to know what they really mean by that statement? "The more in control of your own investments you are, higher reward and higher risk TO US-our job, our profits" (the investment advisors jobs, investment advisors profits)
CONTROL is financial key to rapid asset growth... compounding. Its just so confusing for most people. They see polished brochures, and marble floored offices, and pristinely groomed secretaries, and believe these guys MUST be good. Yes they are good, they are good at getting business for themselves. So we work very hard in our jobs/small businesses, trying to aggregate together some funds to hand over to them.
Well, those of us that refuse to become professional investors anyway.
YOUR CONTROL OF YOUR FUNDS
The absolute truth. Completely unbiased, unspoiled, honest to holy, highest of accuracy truth, is that you can do 100 times better then whats on offer. Its possible, it happens and you can make it happen too.
