Hello Friends! Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice! As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisers prior to making any investment decisions based on information on this website.
Usually in this location I would be posting about the various stock picks from the week a year and a half earlier. But I shall skip this review this week as there were no picks during that particular week. I can hear you saying that why don't I go ahead and review the next week then. Well it did cross my mind, but I have lots of things 'on my plate' this weekend and I shall take advantage of this fact to wait till next weekend to move ahead. Until then, be well and have a great week trading!
If you get a chance, be sure and visit my Covestor Page where all of my trades from my trading account are reviewed, my SocialPicks page where my picks from the past year are reviewed, and my Stock Picks Podcast page where you might listen to me reading a poem or possibly reviewing one of the many stocks reviewed on this website.
If you are adventurous, willing to take on a different kind of risk, and enjoy the possibility of greater returns on your money than possible in a money market account, you might wish to explore Prosper.com where you can participate in person-to-person loans in the form of a small portion of a larger group of lenders lending money with the Prosper.com website as an intermediary. But be forewarned, this kind of activity, while potentially with oversized returns, is fraught with risk involved in unsecured lending where only the risk of a credit-report 'ding' and being turned over to a collection agency stands between many of the lenders and defaults which can greatly reduce your returns.
(Full disclosure: If you sign up and fund a loan on Prosper before the end of the year we can both earn $25.)
I shall try to write up a report on my Prosper.com experience as this develops.
Regards!
Bob
