A New Hope with the New Administration

A new administration in the government. New promises to revitalize the economy. Swift actions being taken to accomplish those promises. Are we really headed for a strong economy again, or is this just a dream that will be cruelly ripped from us like every other new president did in the past? The future is yet to be seen, but it does seem to raise some hopes for the future.

In his inaugural address, President Barack Obama made a statement that stuck with me: "We must pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off...we must make the hard choices if we want to be a strong economy..." Maybe not in those words, but at least the idea was there. In these uncertain times, making the hard choices for yourself is not only prudent, but wise as well. It takes strength to curb your spending habits so that you can have the money to invest in your future...but in the long run, it will mean the difference between eating on $5 a week, or eating enough to be healthy enough to enjoy your retirement years.

In the coming weeks and months, I will be showing you, not only how and where to trade, but also where to get the money to trade/invest. You learn a casual way of investing....and the formal approach to investing. All it takes is a little learning and a little time...

See ya on the inside!
