Making Your Own Investment Decisions

Investing your own money can be a very rewarding activity. Gathering independent information at the same time can be a very difficult task. You wonder whether the advice you receive from the companies you use to invest your money with is reliable. Banks, insurances, investments funds, brokers, financial advisors, etc. have to make their numbers somehow.

Getting independent advice is difficult.

For instance quite online brokers depend on their customers trading shares and other financial products. Ideally they buy and sell as often as possible. Day traders are the most welcome species. However this first and foremost fills the pockets of those brokers. Whether you win or loose, they get their fees.

Most brokers target the trader or short term investor.

Go to a large bank. They might have a connection to an insurer or an investment fund. Or they own an insurer or investment fund in the first place.

Many Banks prefer to sell insurance policies and funds with the best commissions instead of the ones that might be the best fit for you.

Pick an investment fund company. They may have a large number of different funds, for the short-term, long-term, for different countries, industries, commoditieis, derivatives, etc.

Investment funds are not the top performers in all area for which they offer a fund.

In all cases it is always worth trying to find out about the flow of money. Whether it is fees or commission, it all adds up even if it's just a small amount in your individual case.

So the question remains: Where do you get free and independent advise for your long-term investment decisions?
