Today’s Money Tip, brought to you by Profit Jumpstarter is Investing Is NOT Gambling:
One of the biggest mistakes that outsiders make is thinking that all investing is gambling or speculation. Not so savvy investors can treat it like such and will fail. Avoid making an investment decision based on short-term market movements’ predictions, rumours, and gossip. You need to do your homework. You need to think about every investment you make as you personally investing as an owner of the company.

Today’s Money Tip, brought to you by Profit Jumpstarter is Manage Your Money…

It is your hard-earned money so spend time managing it, investing it properly, and making it earn for you. Understanding the time value of money will help you to realize how important it is to take control of what you earn. The central idea behind the time value of money is that a dollar earns, and grows with time which means a dollar now is worth more than a dollar in the future. Don’t keep money idle. Manage it properly and invest it.
