Wisdom for making money in the capital markets

To construct a proper investment program, each independent investor has to understand that investing is like a journey. You start from a place and then head off along a certain path. If you know where you are starting from and where you are going, you'll undoubtedly get there.... The place to start is with a realistic self-assessment of your own personality. Are you basically (a) conservative, (b) enterprising or (c) speculative?

Think hard on this because there is never a need for investors to act out of character. To succeed in the market, you need to just be yourself. If you try something else, your journey will only get side-tracked. After you have done this self-appraisal, your next decision is to choose what line of approach you will take to investing in the capital markets. The clear options are (a) fundamental (b) technical and (c) quantitative....

The United States is the only major country in the world that taxes its citizens globally, wherever they reside, in or out of the USA. Unlike citizens or resident aliens of most other nations, a U.S. person can't escape by moving offshore.	Trading bonds for capital gain In my view, sticking to the common myth that bonds should be bought and then stored in a safety deposit box is a foolish way to invest. Bonds are investment instruments that must be traded like you would trade a stock. To most of you, a bond is a secure, mostly stagnant investment that provides a fixed annual income and can be redeemed at maturity for the same amount of dollars used to purchase it when issued.

The gold futures market While it could be a good speculative investment, gold is usually a poor investment for conservative investors unless you are into writing puts or calls for additional income. The gold futures market is that much more dangerous. Gold futures contracts give the gold speculator the biggest bang for the buck. More about Gold futures.	Fastest moving groupsTo find the fastest moving groups, you must first find the fastest moving industries with common themes as to interest rates, commodity prices, or major economic factors. After you zero in on an industry group, next look at the sub-group stocks that Value Line or Standard & Poor's rates the highest considering fundamental, quantitative and technical factors.
