Daily Investment Tips

The advantage of being young is that you have alot of time to save and accumulate enough money for retirement.

In a Boston Globe Money Make Over column, Financial Planner Philip Lee of Back Bay Financial Group gave the following financial advice to two 30 something young people, unmarried without kids.

First of all pay off the students loans.

Tackle the emergency fund, make sure that you have enough tucked away to cover six months of living expenses.

Don’t ignore retirement savings, since delaying even a few years can dramatically increase the amount that you need to save each month.

Thomas Kaplan, a billionaire investor has been profiled in the latest issue of Business week magazine. He is also the Chairman of Tigris Financial Group

Thomas Kaplan gold forecast

Kaplan says the big rally is still to come. It’s not riots in the streets he envisions, but a more fundamental case of demand outstripping supply as gold becomes a currency in its own right.

Gold Stocks he is holding

Thomas has invested in in Vancouver-based mining company NovaGold Resources. Other investors in this mining operationg include George Soros & John Paulson.

Best Thomas Kaplan quote

“People view gold as emotional, but when they demythologize it, when they look at it for what it is and the opportunity it represents, they’re going to say, ‘We really should own some of that.’ The question will then change to ‘Where do we get the gold?’ “
