It is a New Year with new goals and resolutions! It’s the time of year when you promise yourself that you will exercise regularly, set new goals for your career and spend more quality time with your family and friends. How about paying off your debts? Managing your money more efficiently? The list goes on and on. It’s unfortunate that we attempt to reach all of our goals at once, since we still only have a grand total of 24 hours to each day! Since time is the only commodity each of us has that continually spends at the same rate, U.S. Global Investors is here to help make the most of this precious commodity, by assisting you with your investment needs. So let’s get started on a great New Year! First things first If you are carrying around unwanted debt, this is the first thing that needs to go. Carrying a lot of unwanted debt is like carrying around those extra pounds. It makes you tired and stressed. Set a goal to get rid of this first, even if only a little at a time. Just like dropping those extra pounds, every time you get rid of a little of that excess debt you should begin to feel better. Just imagine how you will feel when you have reached your goal. Next, figure out how much you have to invest. Have a minimum of three to four months’ salary in your savings account before you invest any additional funds in the markets. This is the cash that you might need for a rainy day. Now you’re ready to begin your investment plan! Start with asset allocation your 2001 This term refers to how you distribute your money.
