I am a mother of three lovely children and even though my earnings are stable as a direct seller of beauty products, I know that it’s important for me to explore other possibilities to increase my income in order to set aside funds for my children’s future and likewise, for my retirement. My grandmother passed away early this year and she left me a small sum of money. I put the money in the bank where it earns a small interest; I know that I can beef up the funds some more by investing it in the stock market. I am aware that the market is fluctuating and volatile so I just cannot invest my money based on gut feel. Besides, this is the only money I’ve got so I have to be wise about where I am going to put it. I know that a financial newsletter from an investment research company will be helpful in providing me with data that can help me decide what stocks to buy and invest in.

I became interested in investing when my granddaughter showed interest. Our favorite sunday tradition was reading the newspaper together. At the age of 8, her favorite section was the Financials.

I’ve been investing for years now, and I have to share something. I can’t stand most investment research – whether it’s a financial newsletter, stock newsletter, or investing newsletter.

My husband and I actively purchase and trade stocks and bonds. We are trying to save even more to retire and figure we should add to our savings as much as possible by doing investment research.
