Have you ever wondered when was the right time to buy an investment ? Do you think you can just buy an investment and hold it forever ? Truth is there are good times and not so good times to buy most investments ! Life is All About Cycles Yes, life is all about cycles ! In your own life, you have many cycles.

Would it not make sense then to make the money you save work just as hard for yo...

Don't be one of them ! Negative is Everywhere We are all exposed to so much negativity in everyday life it can be downright depressing. Just listening to the news everyday can depress anyone. Negative sensationalism sells and the media knows this. It's not very often you see a positive enlightening news article. It's no wonder there are so many negative people around. They listen to the news, they listen to other negative people, etc. etc. Many are defeated before they even start out in life.
