The more efficient the market is, the less predictable it is. Meaning, it’s completely random. Find out what market efficiency is and how investors manipulate the efficiency of the market by assuming that it’s inefficient (predictable). Take note that news and research about the market are not the only factors used in investing. Political, economic, and social factors also play a part in investment strategies.

“Sticking it to the man”

Find out: Why you Should Fire Your Broker or Financial Advisor 

One cannot completely rely on their broker or financial advisor to help you make money. He or she may be too self-interested to take the extra time and effort to help you make the most money as possible. It’s not even necessary because of the fees they get from getting you to buy a mutual fund. To ensure that you are getting the services that you are paying him/her for, educate yourself about investing and read this article to find out if your broker/advisor is doing his job adequately.
