Money Sense

[Anonymous]

So, you are suggesting a new topic area added to the 5 at the top? called investing .. or something like that?



or  a single thread?

It's getting a little crowded at the top, so I was thinking a single thread and then sticky it.

OK, but keep the trolling out of it. Nobody is going to post tips and/or advice if you have some immature clown always trying to hijack it. I suggest any trolling should be deleted or at least moved elsewhere.

Socially Respondible Investing is my MO.  No tobacco, no alcohol, no banks.  Venture capital investing in SRI companies.  I have some diversification in tech but nothing too exciting.

If you have ETF's, or just investing on your own, I would believe it However, if you have a fund manager, I doubt it.



Venture capital investing eh? You are a mini-dragon.

Venture funds back in the day came with a 30% tax credit.  It was fantastic.  It's going by the wayside now with different avenues for start-up investing like Dragon's Den or Go Fund Me projects.



How are all of you in terms of following proxy voting?

I don't know everything that's in our mutual..



I don't know how or why anyone would avoid banks?



How does the average person become a venture capital investor.

Are they managed?



Are there various risk levels like mutuals?

Not that I know of.  As far as I know, they are considered high risk.

That would leave us out if that is the case then..



We will see our financial adviser soon, so I will be sure to ask her about venture capital investing..



Do any of the stocks in a venture capital fund pay dividends?

I don't know that I would recommend investing in venture capital funds.  And I have yet to see dividends.

We tend to go from one extreme to the other. When things in the world, country and continent are flaky like they are now, safe!!



When all the key indications look good, index which may have been risky is not very risky at such times and potential return is at its greatest also



Prolly should go more of a mixed way, but unless indications are good we just don't accept much if any risk. We stay on top of how  the world, country and continent are looking and make decisions accordingly, staying in things that don't cost a lot to get in or out of so we can get in and make a buck or bail and protect  capital accordingly



Currently, for many reasons we see much risk from all directions, so are not leaving ourselves open
