Simple Stock Investing www.simplestockinvesting.com Review
Andy from Simple Stock Investing got in touch about his website giving investment tips to non-professionals, or as he puts it “who are educated but not in finance” – the site aims to give information on those savers who may be interested in playing the markets without subscribing to the “Boiler Room” stereotype!
The site has functional design which perhaps has too many Google Adsense ads, and the navigation is sometimes confusing to find what you are looking for, but on a pure content point of view the site is a Win, with lots of informative content that brings an original point of view to investing, written in a chatty but informative style.
A good example is the post Why Investing Isn’t Gambling, although it can be which I highly recommend.
I’ll let Andy explain his ethos in his own words:
Although many of these tutorials address funds more than stocks, and
they suggest allocating assets in other instruments as well as equity,
I chose the word “stock” for the title because I have the idea that
the inner question of such potential visitors is something like “What
if I invest this money in the stock market?” During the first months
I used “ETF Investing” as a name, but then I thought it might be too
technical, and exclude articles on mutual funds, closed-end funds and
stock, unnecessarily.Another aim is to process and present data that may lead to useful
conclusions for this style of investing. I mean, to answer questions
such as if buying N different stock can achieve a good level of
diversification, what the ideal period may be between re-balancing,
etc. So far, the only article of this type I have published is one
with the historical performance of the S&P 500 index. It is the most
popular in the site, so I’m planning to put some emphasis on this kind
of article.
Andy invites ideas for new articles so head on over to have a look.
