New Year, New Strategy for this Newbie Investor

It’s official: this newbie investor is an MBA candidate, enrolled in classes, and I have no idea when I’m graduating! Really. I don’t know. Between the cost of paying the 37.5% federal tax on the tuition AND having a full-time, dead-end, low-paying job, I will see how it goes, then assess how many credits toContinue reading “New Year, New Strategy for this Newbie Investor”

Someone Said to Watch the Candlesticks?

My burning question is this: How do I know when to sell and when to buy? I’m glad I started my newbie investor journey with small amounts of money, because my white-collar bets NOW feel more like purchases my kids made in-app on Club Penguin. Why?

My First Bet

Well, I’ve done something new this week: I placed my first white-collar bet. I’m not exactly swimming in a stream of endless capital, and I’ve never even placed a bet in a casino! But after years and years of watching stocks and missing out on all the “big ones,” I jumped in. I signed upContinue reading “My First Bet”
