Talk to Your Mortgage Company

I talked to a friend today.  He explained that he was able to negotiate his mortgage lower and was able to get his credit back on the road to recovery.  Just call them up and ask what they can do.  It may take a while so give yourself some time to talk.

How to Be a Better ETF Investor

Article by Tom Lyden

ETF's Trade Like Stocks Feel Like Mutual Funds

Here are my ETF's.  I started this portfolio in March.  This is a MOCK portfolio.  That means it is not real.  It is fake.  I used actual (ETF's) to create the portfolio.   Read up on ETf's I think that they are a good way to diversify your portfolio.  Do not take these funds and then go and say that I recommended them to you.  I am not recommending anything here.  I am saying that If I would have put $5,900 in theses (ETF's) in March of 09, I would have $6,582 today.  Please, Please, Please, check out the article in the like above for more information on  (ETF's).  Click here or on the title to read a nice article about ETF's. 

• Investment return is not gauranteed.  You may loose money when investing.  This is not a recommendation to invest.  If you would like to know more please contact your financial advisor for more details.
