Prosper Review
Prosper.com is one of those peer to peer lenders that connects people that are looking for money with people that have money to lend. For years, Prosper functioned as an online auction website. It was like an eBay for loans. The company is based in California and has grown in size over the past few years. Prosper is a lender that I am very familiar with as I have personally used the company's services and have years of experience with the company. So, is Prosper the right company for you? … [Read More...]

The Stock Market Is Overvalued
I am as big a stock market bull as anyone. The market has had a great run over the past few years and investors who stayed the course have made a great deal of money. I believe however a pullback is coming. It is simply too hard to find great values in the market now. Many great companies are trading at values (P/E, P/S, BV) that are simply too high based on their financials. (I love Amazon but a 1400 P/E ratio is outrageous for almost any company. … [Read More...]
Long Term Investors Have Been Rewarded
I have written many articles citing the benefits of long term investing over short term investing. Beating the market over the short term is simply too difficult for most investors to do. It is close to impossible to time the market. Most long time traders only have minimal success at buying low and selling high over the course of a few days. Long term investing gives the average investor the opportunity to make solid profits and reduces the emotional stress of watching the market day to day. … [Read More...]
A 97 Month Car Loan Is Ridiculous
Buying a car has always been an expensive proposition. Auto loans are often the second biggest expense that an individual has after buying a home. Despite an economy that has seen housing prices decline and wages stagnate, automobile prices have continued to rise. In order to deal with the rising prices of automobiles, lending institutions have been extended loan terms longer and longer. According to the Wall Street Journal, loan terms have hit a new record. … [Read More...]
Warren Buffett Named The Most Generous Billionaire
One of the reasons that I started this website is because I so admired the investing style of Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett.

There is another reason however that I follow Buffett’s financial wisdom. Buffett has been a generous investor and his philanthropic endeavors continued in 2012. … [Read More...]

Finding Growth In The Payroll Processing Industry
Investors often look in the wrong place when they are trying to find a company that can make them a lot of cash. Investors are attracted to the big name companies like Walmart's (WMT), Exxon's (XOM), Nike's (NKE), and Coca Cola's (KO) of the world. While these are all great companies that can make money for investors over time, they are not great growth stocks. Large cap stocks have a place in the portfolio of investors as income generators, defensive plays, or stable growers. Investors looking … [Read More...]

The Big Banks Are Keeping You Poor

How I Took My Blog From $0 To A Consistent Income Stream
I did a webinar for eHow Money a year ago. It was a great opportunity to share my story about how I became a financial writer.

So, today I figured that I would take sometime to go through my journey and retrace my steps of growing my blog from virtually no readers (except my family!) to a solid readership … [Read More...]
