Creating Your Own Mutual Fund
Here we find our investor. He has a $5,000 windfall from an inheritance. He wants to take advantage of the stock market. He has done his research on a stock he has been watching. He looked up its Price to Earning Ratio, its Beta (the stock’s reaction to market behavior,) recent Open and Closing prices; He has been tracking its highs and lows. He has been reading up on the company in various business journals. He is very familiar with the company and even knows its Book Value and various debt and other business ratios in comparison to similar companies or industrial averages. Following his best instincts he believes the lowest price will be at about $10. It hits that and he places his order and the purchase goes through at $10.05 a share. He skips off into the sunset thinking he did great only to see the price slip to $9.50 a share. Then the next day it goes down even further. After a few more nerve wracking days the price rebounds and starts to climb again and our investor is back on the plus side. However, stuck in his mind is the idea that he could have purchased the shares for an even lower price and have made even more money.

Okay, so far we have learn that panic kills in the market and the key to not panicking is to invest responsibly. A major portion of investing responsibly is creating and developing a budget to help you manage and gain confidence in your finances. Another major part of not panicking, clouding your judgment, and making costly mistakes while investing is learning all you can about the various investments and markets. Let’s take a look at Bonds, Stocks, Commodities, and Mutual Funds. I will warn that this is not meant to be an exhausted comprehensive look at these investments. To do that you would require a small library to learn everything there is about each. There are various types of Bonds, Stocks, and Mutual Funds, as well as what is considered a Commodity. Instead this is to give you a basic understanding and general familiarization.

Just a couple of minutes ago I had just finished paying my bills for the month. I was able to do this because I had set up a plan some time back. We were able to create this plan through months of keeping track of our income and our expenses. With this plan we are able to predict what the following month’s income will be and the respective expenses. This is what a Budget is. It is a plan developed to make the most out of your money and to know where it is going.

Let’s start out looking at what I call the typical investor. Like most, he or she has a very limited understanding of the market not to mention of economics in general. Perhaps he or she is a little apprehensive about investing. He or she hears about a stock tip. Possibly they are talking with a friend and the friend mentions how they had bought some stock in Company B. His or her friend mentions how it went up twenty dollars a share in three months. Our investor decides he or she needs to get in on the action and sinks their savings into the stock.

Creating Your Own Mutual Fund
Today is the day. Just over one year ago you had received a $500 bonus. There had been something you had your eye on which cost exactly $500. However, instead of spending the bonus you listened to your friends and family and deposited the money into an interest bearing savings account. After all, they made some really good points such as making your money work for you, developing a relationship with a bank, a year wait would also give you the opportunity to decide if you truly wanted the item, develop some personal discipline, and most of all you would earn the interest so if you still wanted the item you would have something left of your bonus.
