I'm not an investment banker, broker or analyst.
So I'm not going to give you any specific advice on the best companies to invest in.
Most of us go to the bank or to a broker for our investment needs without ever thinking about getting a 2nd opinion.
Why is that? Why do we trust "experts" without ever thinking of asking for proof of their results? Evidence that they can and will get your portfolio in an overall positive position.
In the past it was lack of options.
Or more accurately, lack of experience and knowledge to know where to get a 2nd opinion or even that one was needed.
The best companies to invest in are not always already on the exchange.
Remember, every publicly held company was once a small start up.
Imagine the gains to be realized by being in the pre IPO of Google or any other huge public company? It has become ever more obvious that the hidden tax of inflation is forever driving the value of every currency on earth into the ground.
Despite this glaring fact everyday investors are being told by everyday bankers to invest using old paradigm thinking.
This just isn't working anymore.
Think back to Germany between 1917 and 1923.
It took only 4 years for the price of one ounce of gold to go from 170 marks to 87 Trillion Marks.
(The last 3.
5 weeks of this accounted for the last 80 trillion of that growth!) This is happening again now, everywhere, and it's not fresh from college bank advisers who are going to get us "average Joe" investors out of trouble.
It's important to follow adviser's who absolutely are not receiving financial perks when you make your investment decisions.
People who have a 10 year or longer record of 100% or more average annual return.
Can you find that at your bank? Being ahead of the curve is extremely important in my opinion and this is why it's so urgent to have access to information from insider's with no conflicts of interest.
The likes of trend's forecasters and ex-Wall Street types.
People who understand the markets inside and out and not just enough to sell you mutual funds for their boss at the bank! Find a newsletter, private wealth group or club to join and do your research.
After all, the old paradigm is dead.
Getting ahead requires a new outlook, new tools and new alliances we can all trust.
Being a "comfortable" investor in today's economy is a death sentence.
Being an educated and self reliant one is the way to go.
