Services that Time Your Trades

Article Abstract:

Those without the savvy to know exactly when to keep money in stocks and when to switch over to a more secure investment like money market funds, can now rely on market-timing services to perform this function for them. These services rely on a number of factors - including professional analysts and economic conditions - to help them determine when and how often to switch their investments between stocks and money market funds. A listing included shows twelve of the best performing market timers, which in five years turned $10,000 into $17,300- $26,565 (after all fees have been subtracted). While some analysts claim that using a timer is not essential to successful investing, many of the twelve timers listed have performed better than investments which were left in a fund. Ambitious investors can perform this service for themselves, but since most newsletters are published only monthly, an individual investor might have a difficult time obtaining timely information.

The Benefits that Can Make You Rich

Article Abstract:

Although it is commonly believed that you can't get rich working for someone else, this is not always the truth. Many companies offer such nice profit sharing, stock options or savings plans, that millions of employees have the opportunity to become very wealthy. Sticking with one company may offer the best chance to build up a financial pot, but some occupations require frequent switching to advance, and people in these fields might ask for stock as well as salary before accepting a job. There are several options which a company might offer an employee to help obtain financial independence. These include: stock plans, profit sharing, various types of savings programs and intrapreneurship (a variation on being an entrepreneur within a large company).

The Money Rankings

Article Abstract:

All the stocks on the New York Stock Exchange (almost fifteen hundred) are ranked for their 1983 performance. The 1983 stock market echoed the economic recovery, as stock prices, especially in the first half of the year, soared. The top ten stocks paid little or no dividends, and ran the business range from manufacturing toilet paper, to farm equipment, to semiconductors. The outlook for 1984 could be more of the same, at least for the first six months.
