Investing for Your Child's Future ---Every parent hopes that one day their child will attend college to obtain an education and a better future.
---Paying for college however, requires a great deal of thought and foresight, or does it? 4 IMPORTANT INVESTING TIPS 1-DIVERSIFY do not put all of your money into one stock or venture. If one stock declines, you still have the others to fall back on. 2-STICK WITH IT do not stop putting money into an investment. Once you stop you are less likely to continue on the right track. 3-PUT IN ALL OF YOUR CHILD'S GIFT MONEY Put all or most of the money that your child receives for his/her birthday, holidays into an investment. A toy will most likely be broken by next year anyhow. As an added bonus you can use this time to bond with your child by explaining to him/her how stocks and investments work. 4-THE START-UP IS SMALL.
