I originally heard the question why not you, why not now in 1992 at a business function. The billionaire Richard DeVos was speaking, where afterwards I had an opportunity to sit down and spend some time with him.

In a recent article Warren Buffett wrote:
“THE financial world is a mess, both in the United States and abroad. Its problems, moreover, have been leaking into the general economy, and the leaks are now turning into a gusher. In the near term, unemployment will rise, business activity will falter and headlines will continue to be scary.
So… I’ve been buying American stocks. This is my personal account I’m talking about, in which I previously owned nothing but United States government bonds. (This description leaves aside my Berkshire Hathaway holdings, which are all committed to philanthropy.) If prices keep looking attractive, my non-Berkshire net worth will soon be 100 percent in United States equities.

I’m sure the thought has crossed your mind, especially with the roller coaster stock market we are currently experiencing. “Why not just put all of my investments in cash, just until the market stabilizes?” Many investors are acting on that thought. Through the first six days of October, $19 billion was pulled out of mutual funds that invest in United States stocks. That’s equal to the ENTIRE MONTH of September 2008 according to TrimTabs Investment Research.

Must Answer Questions for Confident Investing
These questions are based on the core belief that education plus understanding leads to confidence and peace of mind around investing. In other words, confusion, stress and anxiety are the result when we are “in the dark” about important investment issues. Note: When answering these questions, you must be 100% confident that you know the answer to the question to qualify for a “yes” answer on the quiz.
Does the information from the Financial Services industry leave you confused and bewildered? If someone really could accurately predict market movement on a consistent basis, what would be their motivation for telling you? If what you thought was the best way to invest in the market turned out not to be…when would you want to know?
Our goal at Financial Abundance is to save the world one investor at a time. We want to play our part in the solution to create peace of mind for individuals, families and businesses about their investments. This can be accomplished, through education and understanding with research and studies from Nobel laureates and professors at leading universities around the country. We want to show people that they can, for the first time in their lives, have peace of mind about how they invest; that sleepless nights of doubt can be converted into confidence about their direction regardless of the current economic conditions. Regardless if you’re from Penn State or the state pen you can learn how to be a prudent and educated investor.
Financial Abundance operates under the core belief that education plus understanding leads to clarity and confidence; resulting in peace of mind. This is extremely rare to find with traditional financial planning today.
People have at their disposal unlimited resources and information regarding their personal finances. From 24-hour news channels to the World Wide Web, we are bombarded with messages that are often confusing, conflicting, and sometimes simply inaccurate.
While some may think this technology has made it easier for people to plan for their retirement, for many it has not. In fact, people are more confused than ever and are jeopardizing their financial future by following various fads and strategies promoted in the main stream press.
Through our Investor Education Programs, we help people cut through the rhetoric. In order to improve the likelihood of success, we teach our clients to implement a method of portfolio management used by most corporate pension plans today. We shun common myths of investing like stock picking, market timing, past performance and the use of fund managers. Instead, we guide each client through a program that not only educates, but ensures the necessary steps are taken toward reaching your investment goals.
