Hey! I?ve Just Started Marketing With New Media

I love the short money interview that Deborah Solomon did of Suze Orman titled She’s So Money. As regular readers know I’ve never been a fan of Ormans. I’ve found her information to be very condescending and simple! She is a great marketing machine and I do applaud her entrepreneurial skills.

I am a huge believer in always asking financial advisers how they invest their money and that’s why I really enjoyed the Solomon interview. When she asked Orman how she invested her money, Orman replied: “Save it and build it in municipal bonds. I buy zero-coupon municipal bonds, and all the bonds I buy are triple-A-rated and insured so that even if the city goes under, I get my money. I take a little lower interest rate to make sure my bonds are 100 percent safe and sound. “

What about the stock market: “I have a million dollars in the stock market, because if I lose a million dollars, I don’t personally care. ” Interesting comments! You can learn a lot about hiring a potential financial advisor by asking good questions. Wouldn’t you feel funny if your financial advisor invested all her money in real estate and was advising you to invest all your money in the stock market? Ask good questions before you commit to an advisor or guru!!
