Where do I go?

deftonehead778 asked:


A friend of mine was describing how he makes money doing investments a certain way. He said that he put some money in some account or something, and people will go somewhere and apply for some sort of loan. The financial place calls him up and tells him who is applying and what they are applying for and all that. He makes the decision on whether or not the loan should go through or not. He said that financial institution tells him how much of a risk the applicant is.

What kind of investing is this, and how would someone start doing that? What companies do I look for and so on.

Currently, I am reading two books on investing of opposite strategies. On one hand, I am reading Jim Cramer’s Real Money book where he believes the market is not 100% efficient and there is money to be made that beats the indexes by a decent return. Year after year, these are found in the small cap, less discussed stocks.

On the other hand, I am reading “A Random Walk Down Wallstreet,” which discusses investing behavior and how people through the centuries have been burnt by “castles in the sky.” This book recommends value investing the Warren Buffet way in ETF’s, etc.

Warren Buffet said in his 2005 letter (paraphrased), “Investors have had a string of good returns but have learned any number multiplied by zero equals zero.”

Basically, I am just looking for some conversation on which school of thought you believe in and why.

Thanks in advance and I apologize for any spelling/grammar errors.
Ed, what would I do without you.

I am very interested in learning the Ins and Outs of value investing. I understand the underlying concepts but i feel like i am not sure where to start and actually get my hands dirty.

In some ways i feel as if i should be studying accounting rather than investing?

Can anyone give me some pointers or resources i can check out?

Thank you very much.

I’ve heared tax lien investing can be very profitabile and secured so I am interested in manuals/guides/books and courses which you are suggesting. Please only those based on expirience (if you have studied it and you can recommend it).

Ron C asked:


I’m confused. If a fixed mortgage is 7%, wouldn’t it be better to invest in the stock market for an average of 10% in the long run. In this case, I could have a tax deductable while gaining in the stock market. So, should I pay off the mortgage asap or invest in the stock market?
