If You Are Young, You Should Invest the Biggest Part of Your Portfolio into Stocks

There is an old rule saying that to determine the portion of stocks to be held in your portfolio, you simply have to take the number “100” and deduct your age. Therefore, being 27, I should hold 73% of my portfolio in stocks and only 27% in bonds and other fixed incomes.

Apple's Earnings ... (new video)

After the close today (7/21), Apple will announce its earnings.

No one knows for sure what the earnings are going to be. I thought I would like to do a video before the earnings just to show you that you don't have to be glued to the market on a 24/7 basis.
