How to Invest in Fine Art as Shares. Top Story - September 2018.
Most of us don't think of buying art as long term investment options and strategies. More often than not, any paintings or sculptures that decorate our walls and rooms were purchased at a big box retailer like Target.

How to Get Your Friends into Investing
I'm in a very odd position in my life. The vast majority of my friends do not make much money. In fact, most don't earn $10,000 a year—even though they want to. Of those who do earn a typical living, they don't really invest what they make.

Silver: A Golden Opportunity
A couple of months ago I seriously evaluated my financial situation for the first time in years. I have some things that I am saving for, but I was searching for a long term investment that made it difficult to turn it back into cash. After doing some research, I came across the precious metal, Silver. Having a price point that suited my financial standing by being significantly cheaper than gold made silver a much more attractive investment for myself. There are various reasons as to why many investors look to precious metals as a worthy, long-term investment, and my goal is to share with you some of the things that I have learned thus far.

Why You May Want to Invest in an REIT Instead of Being a Landlord
Did you know that there are alternative investments to the stock market that could be game-changers for the way you invest? Real estate is probably one of the more popular methods to these alternatives, and the traditional route to investing in real estate is by becoming a landlord. You buy property, rent it out, and balance expenses against revenue. In this kind of work though, there are a lot of deterrents; it can be a huge commitment, with pretty big risks. A real estate investment trust (REIT), on the other hand, is a fantastic alternative to becoming a landlord yourself. It's a laughably simple, but lucrative, way to add real estate to your investment portfolio without really needing to get out there and do the work yourself, or know too much about the industry. Obviously, you'll want to do your market research, but you don't have to be an expert on cumbersome things like rental repairs, maintenance, taxes, etc. If you're looking to get in on the real estate market, you may want to invest in an REIT.

Whether you are a seasoned, professional trader, or just opened up your first saving accounts, you should always be on the lookout for the best ways to invest your money. When it comes to value storage and assets, none beat out the king of precious metals, gold. Shiny and sleek, the value of gold always moves steadily, and has the least fluctuations when compared to other types of assets. It protects you against global uncertain, inflation, and currency debasement. Even though the gold market is subjected to volatility and speculation, it is still the best possible way to store value.
