05 – Understanding Basic Investing – Nov 20, 2008 – 8:40 minutes (3.05 MB mp3)
When thinking about your long-range financial goals, you may realize just putting money in a savings account won’t get you there. The rates are too low, and you can’t save enough on your own. So today, our subject is an alternative – investing.
During this podcast we’ll discuss:
- Several common types of investments
- How investments carry risks that are different from the money you may have in savings or your checking account.
- The risks and rewards involved in investing, and how to measure your risk tolerance and your investing success.
