Start Investing


By James Alliss

To become a millionaire you must get into the habit of investing. In this article I will go into some detail about investing and the different types of investments.

Many people want to have more money – OK everyone does. However, most people don’t know how to go about building wealth, even if they are high income earners. Their money often just sits in their bank account, because they really don’t know what to do with it or they are too afraid to take a risk. 

The key to achieving financial independence, or indeed financial freedom, is to accelerate our financial wealth by investing regularly. Investing is the way to get your money working for you instead of you having to work for your money. In time, your investments will generate more than enough income for you to live  – allowing you to focus your time on what you really want.

Investing is a funny thing because it is something that so many people talk about doing, but never actually do. They don’t do it because they are not educated about it and they are not financially prepared for it, which makes it too much of a risk, too scary.  

The key is to pay yourself first by saving at least 10% of your earnings and pay the bills second.

Investing does not mean parking your money in a investment fund (mutual funds in the US) and hoping for the best. It means taking advantage of one or more of the many huge investment opportunities available that will generate solid returns. It also means you need to do your homework. Alternatively you could let someone else do all the hard work for you. I've personally grown my money at over 700% since 2004 and I will soon be able to show you exactly, step by step how to do it too.

What types of opportunities are available? One example is the stock market. This requires a small initial investment and there is potential for dramatic and quick increases. Of course the downsides are you are not able to leverage your money (unless you use Options) and the risks are high for individual stocks. If you buy £1,000 worth of stock then you control exactly £1,000 worth of stock. I do trade stocks but minimse the capital used due to the high risks involved.

There is also property, with which you have the ability to really leverage your money. In other words, a £15,000 deposit could purchase a £150,000 property. I personally wouldn't touch UK property as it's over valued - it's a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. I have written various articles about the UK property market that can be found on this site.

There are numerous other investment vehicles to consider such as Forex, ETF's, CFD's, Futures, ISA's etc. You will find information on the Forex market and ISA's on this very site.

It is extremely important to start your research before you are financially ready to invest. First of all, this fuels the fire of desire and helps keep you moving forward. It also means that when the time comes, when you have the money in place, you will be ready to go. 

Take action now - it's your future and possibly your children's future we're talking about here.
