Chapter
1
Dealing
with Your bank
This par tell we about how to determine if
your bank is healthy, and help we to choose the best savings and checking
accounts, and explain the many services
now found in your local bank. And we can need all the help we can get in this
confusing and expensive world of deregulate bank.
Because, before you
commit your money, get we know the banker and services. If we can’t have access
to your own personal banker, do your business elsewhere. And bank are not for
profit orgazinations, exiting seloly to provide safe haven for our money.
The new competition in the banking world, we need to
take the time to find the best rates and services available. Cause competition
isn’t necessarily bad for the depositor, but it does mean we must examine each
institution carefully to find the right combination of hight yield, individual
attention and safety. Smart investing begins wih smart banking . Here are the
steps to find the best bank :
- Compare
rates. Track them for a number of weeks and see how they compare with others in
the area.
- Check
out the lobby. If there are long lines, don’t expect quick and efficient
service.
- Consider
whether the bank is convenient. Find out if it’s open evenings and weekends and
if the cash mechines are close to home or work.
- Put
bank fees under a magnifying glass. Deregulation has forced banks into offering
higher rates, which many try to balance with higher fees. Good banks will
provide you with a list of fees and charges.
- Assess
the services. Make sure the bank will fit your needs
Chapter

The
stock market
This chapter to provide
some of those looked for answers and help educate and enable you to have a
better working understanding of what makes the stock market tick. The crash of
87 should be used not an excuse to avoid all stock investing forever, but
rather as the reason to learn more about what stock and stock markets are so
that you’ll be able to take advantage of certain situations.
In addition, by
investing in stocks, anyone with a few dollars can become an owner of a piece
of corporate America and perhaps make a good deal of money. For story of an
investment gone sour, there are an equal number of success stories. Successful
stock investing is a combination of smart planning and good timing. There are
profits to be made if you keep these suggestions in mind :
- Educate
yourself before you invest.
- Don’t
jump on emotional bandwagons. Buy stocks that make economic sense.
- Have
patience : rome wasn’t built in a day.
- When
you make a mistake, admit it and sell.
- Don’t
be greedy. When you have good profit , take it.
- Don’t
follow hot tips. They often lead to cold stocks.
- Set
profit and loss limits when you first buy a stock, and stick with them. It’s
better to leave the game early and retrun to play another day.

Bonds
Bonds
is a debt security. It represents a creditor a company, not an owner. Before
company can pay divindends to stockholders, it must first pay interest to
bondholders. If a company files for bankruptcy, the bondholder receives his or
her share of the company assets first. These claims are settled before the
claims of any stockholders. For this reason bonds are called senior securities.
This chapter recomend some caution
before we invest :
- Stay
on top of the general prediction of
interest rate directions. The underlying value of your bonds will react in the
opposite manner.
- Know
the rating of the issuer before you buy.
- Check
the rating of your bonds periodically.
- Keep
your bonds at the firm where you bought them when possible instead of taking
possession of the certificates.
- Remember
that short-term bonds face less interest rate risk than long term bonds.
- Know
all call dates before you put your money down.
Chapter 4
Investing
with uncle Sam
This chapter tell we if measuring risk
and reward is the key to successful investing. By investing with uncle sam , we
are able to minimize the risk and yet maintain a reasonable reward. And
goverment securities offer a great deal of liquidity, with safety and moderate
returns. There are few cauntion to mention to an investor in goverment paper,
unlike some other investment alternatives :
- Take
the time to learn how to quotes.
- Simple
because uncle sam guarantees an investment doesn’t necessarily make it right
for every investor.
- Interest
rate movement affects the market value of goverment bonds and series HH bonds
are subject to more interest rate risk than short term treasury notes and
bills.
- Some
goverment agency issue are not backed by uncle sam.
- Don’t
look for a lot of help from brokers with goverment securities purchases.
