| Some other results in the study also suggest that the intense spotlight being
cast on the markets today (and possibly the growth of e-trading and emergence
of so-called day-traders) is affecting Americans perceptions about investing,
added Ms. Wood. |
| This relatively new collection of links will take you to articles explaining
various principles and concepts of investing, from the basics to technical
analysis. I’ve added a bunch this week as I came across a couple of
excellent pages at some of the brokerage sites I revisited this week. A
handy referernce ! |
| What’s the difference between a financial adviser and a financial planner?
Damned if I know. I’ve classified as advisers those individuals that sell
stocks as well as mutual funds and they’re listed in the Brokers &
Investment Advisers category above. Financial Planners I’ve taken to be
individuals or companies specializing in a big picture outlook in personal
financial management, covering everything from debt management to insurance
to investing and RRSPs. Most such planners are licensed to sell mutual
funds but not stocks. And most have a CFP or RFP certification, though this
is not required by law and there are many freelance planners with no such
credentials. In any event, they’re listed here. |
