It could easily be down 30% one year and up 40% the next. That's why long term investing is what you should be focusing on. The markets are more predictable on a longer timeline. | |

| Apr 8, 2014 at 17:36 | comment | added | Let A Pro Do IT | A friend mentioned that I should invest 1/4 in mutual funds, 1/4 in riskier funds and 1/4 in gold. What are your thoughts? | |
| Apr 8, 2014 at 17:36 | comment | added | Let A Pro Do IT | Pete can you explain how my money can grow that much from 10%? Is this 10% per year? Per month? What do you recommend I read to learn more about all of this? Thank you | |
