The holidays are behind us, and I hope everyone reading this had a wonderful time with friends and family over the past couple of weeks. For many of us, the arrival of the new year is accompanied by a reflection of the past and a desire to look forward, with a renewed interest in setting goals for the coming year.

Think Investing is a Game? Stop.

If you’re not the type of person who feels comfortable betting your life savings on a long shot, the good news is that you don’t have to find the next big stock to win in the stock market.
