Multiple Streams of Income – The Sure Way to Getting Rich
As much I would say it is always a good decision to focus on just one thing, there is beauty in multiple streams of income if you know how to go about. You don’t have to branch out of your field, all you have to do is go into sub areas or fields very closely related to yours.
For example if you are a musician, a very popular one, it would be wise to cash in on your fame and start off something a lot of your fans would easily part away with there money to be involved in. For example, a rapper starting off a clothing line that fits what the demo-graph that listen to him wear. This way, he is making from him being a rapper, and still cashing in on his popularity by selling wears to his fans; now tell me that is not wise?
In the example above, the rapper does not have to know anything about clothing business, and marketing wears, he would have experts do all the work for him, this way he is not going to loose focus in anyway when it comes to his music. (more…)
Learning About CD Rates
A CD (Certificate of Deposit) is available at very low interest rates at the present. The amount received will not even keep up with the low rates of inflation the government throws at us. CD rates vary according to how long the money will be tied up. If an early withdrawal is made, a month’s worth of interest can be lost. Since not much interest is being delivered, this is a large loss. Sometimes more than one CD should be purchased in case of a situation where one must be redeemed.
A CD is a time deposit. If you are promising the bank to let them have the money, for example, for a year, then they assume it is not going to be taken out during that time span. The CD is guaranteed against loss by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation), a government agency, created way back during the Great Depression of the 1930′s.
The highest CD rates one could expect is about 2.5% and this is for having money tied up for 5 years, hardly conducive to getting rich and retiring early. CD rates for 6 months will return around 1%. If money has to be “parked” for a short time, a CD is a good financial instrument. For those with little money to risk, a CD can also be a good investment. (more…)
How Social Media is Reshaping the Financial World
The rise of social media has changed the way consumers receive financial information. It has dramatically impacted how individuals interrelate and how businesses relate directly with customers in the finance and investing sector. Online trading platforms and communities are enormously popular and many believe that social networking leads to greater trading volume. Datamonitor – the respected Internet research firm – says that over 50% of consumers are using online tools to make their financial decisions today.
These online tools include social news sites and social networking sites where ordinary investors pick stocks and advise other investors. Online investment communities are another valuable social networking tool. Online investment communities combine news and networking while bridging financial markets and investment communities.
Here are some of the best financial social networks today:
Stockpickr – This is one of the first sites to combine social networking with stock investment ideas.

Users can compare their stock portfolios to Wall Street pros like Carl Icahn, Warren Buffett and George Soros. (more…)
