Always Look for Bargains in the Stock Market
Long-term investors should always strive to find stocks of
publicly traded businesses with decent fundamentals
trading at low
valuations. The cheaper the stock the better the chances of achieving a
superior return.

Invest in Educating Yourself
Always invest in educating yourself. It doesn’t necessarily
mean go to college. It could mean learning a trade skill and reading books to
improve your knowledge in areas such as investing, technology or any other
fields that you may want to pursue.

Advantages of Dividend Stocks
Buying shares of companies that pay a dividend is like
purchasing an income stream. Investing in companies that regularly boost their
dividends is like getting a raise on a consistent basis. Of course, it comes
with risks. Those dividends need to be backed by expanding free cash flow and a
company shouldn’t pay too much of its free cash flow out in dividends.
Personally, I prefer that a company that pays out less than 50% of its annual
free cash flow out in dividends.

Save for a Rainy Year
Sometimes you need to save for a rainy year. You need an
emergency fund to cover at least a year or more of expenses.

Thoughts On Negative Interest Rates Part II
Part of the motive behind negative
interest rates is to get people to spend more money. When people spend
money it disempowers them. Perhaps this is what central banks and governments
want?

Three Ways to Save
There are three ways to save: 1) Spend less than you earn 2)
Make more than you spend 3) The combination of No. 1 and No. 2. Understandably,
it’s more difficult for some people to do this than others. However, if you
want to accumulate wealth you should strive to do these things.

Are you prepared for the proverbial floods in life?
Always be prepared for unexpected life events such as a job
loss or cut in benefits. Always have enough cash on hand to pay for 1-2 years
of life expenses.

Don’t let greed get in the way of rational thinking
Greed can cause you to make bad investing decisions. Seeing
a popular stock go up in value may make you feel like you are missing out on
great riches when you may be buying at the top. Make sure you hit the pause
button and research a particular investment before taking the plunge.

Are stocks on sale?
Long-term investors should look at stock market corrections
in the same way that a shopper looks at discounted merchandise.

Do you live for your neighbors?
Chances are they don’t care about the newest vehicle or boat
that you bought.

Thoughts on Negative Rates
Some countries have negative interest rates, which means some savers and bond investors actually pay for the privilege of saving and
investing. This could potentially happen in the United States if global trends
hold up. What kind of perverse world punishes saving???
