Whether you are a conservative investor or a risky one, interested in short-term or long-term investments, have a lot of money, or just a little bit, today’s episode will give you some clarity around the process of deciding where to invest, and how to manage risks associated with your investments. We can’t predict the future and therefore investing can be nerve-wracking, as Kristin knows all too well! However, if you know your timeframe and you understand your money personality, you are already on the path to success. In this show, Colby offers explanations of a number of important topics; from capital gains taxes to wash-sales, to the difference between investing in public and private companies, and what your financials should look like before you start investing in the latter.
