Tooooooooooo Good to be True!!!
There are many investment vehicles out there still touting high rates of return. I would caution anyone who it looking into investing in these vehicles to do your homework. Some of the most well known and trusted investment managers have gone bust this year. My concern is someone seeing something that "unbelievable" and then in turn loosing money. Please use caution and only invest in things when you have confidence in that investment vehicle. This article does a nice job of laying out some things to think about, as well as pointing investors to internet sites that can be of use.

About the blog and myself
- Finance Helper
- What can I tell you about myself and the blog. First, I have stresses like everyone else, I am continuously working hard to conserve my funds, while also taking time to enjoy life. After spending my entire childhood and college years in Maine, I moved to Connecticut to pursue my career. I went to Sanford High School and Bowdoin College (both in Maine). Both of these schools taught me a lot but there was one critical element missing from my education. How was I going to save, what was I going to save for and what financial tools should I utilize??? My goal with this blog is to give students and young professionals the upper hand in preparing for their financial future. There is a huge disconnect regarding how we teach "older professionals" to invest as opposed to "younger professionals". Hopefully this blog is able to confront that disconnect and provide a guide to investing, home buying and some of the other financial walls that spring up around "young professionals". For all of my readers please feel free to add posts and to ask questions. Also check out my store, which has some great books and practical business products. Happy Viewing!!
