Investing Your Personal Finances
Overview
The investing world presents us with numerous choices that are growing in both number and complexity all the time. At one end of the scale you have the safe returns offered by bank products (certificates of deposit in the United States, guaranteed investment certificates in Canada) that provide maximum safety, but with a low return. At the other end you have the higher risk but potentially higher return products investments ranging from gold and other metals, commodities, and other exotic investments. And between these two ends, you have a range of stocks and bonds that you can buy on companies in your own country, or other companies half way (or more) around the world.
And you can buy any of these products directly, or indirectly (i.e. by buying a mutual fund that invests in any or all of the above). And to help you along with these decisions are a wide range of people (with titles ranging from "Financial Planner" to "Stock Broker").
