How to Ask the Right Investment Questions

Image
Investment is no exception. There are never absolute certainties. You can't be certain that an investment will be sound. However, there are investments that are more secure than others. You should ask yourself one question about any investment: "How well do you cover yourself?" Many people see the future with naivety and think "what if" and then forget to ask "what if?" This is not being negative, it's just being realistic. Ask questions to determine if the risks are real and if it is realistic. Sometimes, an investment that sounds rational may not work out.

Financial media have been abuzz about the fee-only financial planning phenomenon for several years. Most people don't know where to look for a reputable one and are advised by these media pundits that they choose from a variety of options. This is not the best way to go, I strongly disagree. I believe that the best way to choose such an important advisor is through a recommendation from someone you respect. If you don't think that is an option, I would like to let you know about two organizations that are fee-only financial planners, the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors and the Garrett Planning Network. NAPFA works almost exclusively with wealthy individuals.

The Garrett Network  focuses on providing services that are billed by the hour and target their advice to middle income folks. The we...
