Investment Help

If you are seeking investment help, look at the video here on my services. If you are seeking a different approach to managing your assets, you have landed at the right spot. I am a fee-only advisor registered in the State of Maryland, charge less than half the going rate for investment management, and seek to teach individuals how to manage their own assets using low-cost indexed exchange traded funds. Please call or email me if interested in further details. My website is at http://www.rwinvestmentstrategies.com. If you are new to investing, take a look at the "DIY Investor Newbie" posts here by typing "newbie" in the search box above to the left. These take you through the basics of what you need to know in getting started on doing your own investing.

Financial Literacy Event

Here is the link to Fed Governor Duke's speech yesterday to the JumpStart Coalition conference to promote finacial literacy. If you are interested in promoting financial literacy here is the game that the Coalition has released in a number of countries.
In its most recent 31 question survey the JumpStart Coalition found that high school students scored 48.3% and college students 62.2%. Thus, college students, by the time they graduate are close to being finacially literate. As the Coalition points out, however, only 25% of U.S. children are graduating from college and therefore 75% of young Americans struggle making financial decisions.

  1. Haven't had a chance to view the video yet, but scored two goals in a 5 minute game. The game was surprisingly good.

  2. I scored a goal pretty quickly in the game also. That must mean we're at least a bit financially literate (ha!ha!).
