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.

Here with us today to talk about Basic Investing is Elvis Jerez – an Investment Representative at Ent Investment Services.
