I’m still working on entries for monday and the rest of the week, so here are 5 educational articles to improve your financial IQ and make you money!
- Profit From the Private Equity Boom - the Private equity monster eats up underperforming businesses month after month it seems. Investment U wrote a great article on how to identify companies that are prime targets of private equity firms. Expected Future Target - Gap Inc (GPS).
- Investing in China ETFs 101 - Very good reading on how to invest in China through passive ETFs.
- Top 5 Online Brokers - Faulkin shares information on OptionsXpress, one of the newest online brokers to enter the competitive brokerage firm market. I’ve considered investing in their company; they trade as OXPS.
- Profit from Higher Long Term Rates - Siegel’s case argues in favor of increasing your stock holdings to profit from longer term interest rates trends. In my case, I agree fully since I’m 98% invested in stocks.
- How to Escape Living from Paycheck to Paycheck - One of JD’s best articles yet. I included this writeup because investing in your understanding of accounting and cash flow is as important as managing your stock portfolio.
