About three years ago, a very good friend of mine won a longstanding legal case that revolved around being wrongfully terminated. The amount of the award wasn’t life-changing in any way, shape or form, but it was better than nothing. and gave her much-needed funds.
She asked me what she should do with the $16,000 she would have left after paying back personal loans to her mother. My advice at the time was to take the entire $16,000 and invest it.
She knew absolutely nothing about investing, so I told her to create the account and provide me with the user name and password, and I would take over from there.
Now – I must remind you that I eat, sleep and think about investing. If it were up to me, the market would be open seven days a week. That’s how much I enjoy it.
Before I made my first purchase, I thought long and hard, because I treated her money like it was mine.
I asked her what her financial goal was, and when she would need this money. She did not have any money saved for retirement and did not need the money in the near future, so my game plan for her was to be ultra-aggressive and invest in high-growth companies.
I invested in the same companies that I would have bought for myself if the account were mine. In the 3 years I managed the account, the value went from $16,000 to over $60,000.
Watching her account grow made me as happy as if it were my own.
It wasn’t until recently that I asked myself: Can I do this for other people? And the answer I came up with was: yes, I can!
Look, you can invest in a mutual fund. And if your company matches, you should invest in its 401(k). However, you should always invest in individual stocks. No 401(k), no mutual fund on the planet, will ever be able to compare with the growth of an individual stock.
But if you’re like many people, you don’t have the time and/or the inclination to research companies and select your own stocks to invest in.
You can now outsource this task, to me.
For only $10.00 per month, I will actively manage your investment account as though it were mine.
