Financial Planning Guide for 2012: Ten Timeless Investment Facts & Principles

By NJToday Contributor Barbara O’Neill

Just like “classic” fashion designs, there are some investment facts and principles that never go out of style. This is true whether the stock market is going up or down, tax laws are changing, or investment returns are high, low, or negative. In other words, these facts and principles can be counted on to inform investors’ decisions at any point in time.

Ten Timeless Investment Facts & Principles

Great Opportunity!!!!


***NJToday has invited NJCFE members to write articles for their website***
NJCFE members have been asked to write articles for NJToday, the online component to the “NEW” New Jersey TV Station (former NJN)!!!

The articles should generally be 500 words or less.  However, for a personal finance topic, you can go a little bit longer, but definitely not over 1000 words. The topic should be geared towards the adult audience about restoring credit, meeting financial aid deadlines, basically anything about starting the new year right financially!

If you are interested in submitting an article at this time, please let Maryanne Evanko, Chair of NJCFE, know as soon as possible along with your potential topic and/or title so that she can communicate that to NJToday.  Also please provide Maryanne with a tentative deadline for completion of your article.  All articles are to be sent directly to Ms. Evanko at chair@njcfe.org.
