SCARED MONEY DON’T MAKE MONEY

My brother and I are getting serious about investing!  We both have active trading accounts and intend to grow an awesome portfolio.  He likes the big name company stocks like GM and FNM, while I prefer to go the long term route with alternative energy companies and GREEN industries.  Now, to get it twisted, I am not one that is caught up in the Al Gore hysteria!  However, with that said I’m also not an idiot!  If people want a greener environment that’s great, because I want a greener wallet and fatter portfolio!  Right now people are scared to death of investing and trying to better themselves.  In my opinion this is the best time to invest!  Stocks are cheap, real estate is even cheaper, and SCARED MONEY DON’T MAKE MONEY!  Investing in anything can be a little nerve racking, but those that don’t take the risk never better themselves.  Trust me I know it can be kinda scary, but again SCARED MONEY DON”T MAKE MONEY!

My house has been on the market for a little over a month now. Recently I decided that I would rent my house and keep it as a ……..what readers??  INVESTMENT!!  This rental property will generate an additional $300 a month that I can put towards other things, or investments.  Being a landlord is a scary thing, but it can be scary good also!  Whats better than having someone else pay for your retirement and kids future?  Relying on 401ks, pension plans, or bingo nights are not the way to go.  You need to be actively trying to better yourself and make smart investment choices.  Will my brother and I make bonehead investments?  More than likely, but a wise business man told me to make mistakes early so that I could benefit from them down the road!

Don’t be scared………..why………..because……….SCARED MONEY DON”T MAKE MONEY!
