More thoughts for investing.
If you are starting out you may want to use a minimum amount
to invest in a corporate bond index ETF and also a minimum amount in a
total market securities ETF. If you have sufficient funds, do the same in
an REIT ETF. In all cases, reinvest your dividends.
In dealing with bonds, keep your duration factor below the term of your
holdings. If you will be holding the securities for more than 7 years,
for example, the duration can be 7 years or less. If you will be holding
the securities for more than 10 years, the duration can be 10 years,
etc.
Avoid
media noise at all times. Once you have an investment strategy in
place, and you are set in your strategy, why let incessant, daily media
chatter and sheer nonsense dissuade you from your original goals?
The only adviser you need is an accountant for taxes or a lawyer for your estate.
