I am pretty inept at market stuff. I do have an interest in socially responsible investing. I would like to learn more about that. I am interested in good companies that are socially responsible such as supportive of the environment and that support progressive causes. The companies could either be ones that have a good reputation for being socially responsible indirectly such as being good to employees, supporting green causes, helping the poor or being socially responsible directly such as wind turbine energy, creating technologies that help w/environment, or help the poor directly. These are just examples. I am not super adept at explaining in the right lingo, but hopefully this all makes sense. I would be interested in learning how this type of investing compares to more just profit oriented companies that are not necessarily known for being socially responsible. Not sure if this makes sense, but I’d be glad to try to explain it more.
Excellent… thanks for the thoughtful comment. I’ll definitely invest some time in this subject in the New Year. It makes sense… no further explanation required. Do you have any specific companies in mind? I imagine if this is a passion of yours, then you already chose to purchase products from companies that you view as more socially responsible.
Best of luck with the giveaway.

Not to be a pessimist, but I’d love to see you cover ways to bounce back if a company whose stock you’ve invested in goes bankrupt or if you suffer a considerable financial loss from a particular investment. What are the possible warning signs or thresholds that would signal one to consider selling a stock, and what is the key to rebuilding one’s portfolio after a big loss? Thanks!
Thanks Geoff… that’s not pessimism… it’s realism. I’d be pleased to write a series on recovering from significant financial loss…. after all, it was that experience for some of my family and friends that led me to start this website. Stay tuned… I’ll have something like that toward the end of this month!
The best way to start investing for someone with a low income.
Tracie… that’ a great issue to address. Thanks… will do so soon!
I would like to see some posts about investing in company stock and when to sell it/buy it.
Thanks Joseph… you may want to check out the 5 for 5 guarantee which has some abbreviated stock information but specific buy/sell points that I’m using each day.
I’d like to learn about index funds.
Sure… do you have any specific questions about index funds?
I’d like to learn more about how I can invest myself, without hiring someone else to do it for me… I see those online program-things advertised all the time and I’m curious about them but also scared to try it out because I know almost nothing about investing!
Andrea… you’re one of the main reasons I created this website. You don’t need those “programs” when there are some great free resources here for you. Feel free to email me any questions you have… I’d be happy to help as I’m able to do so.
I’d like to read about how to “safely” invest in the stock market. For instance the best ways to get stock market exposure without risking everything.
Thanks Jen… I’ll definitely incorporate some of the work I’ve done to address this specifically.
I would love to see you cover some investment tips for a young person who has just finished college and might not have a lot of money but wants to start investing it correctly.
Sounds great Amber… I’d love to help you and others get started right. No sense learning the hard way when so many others have already made the mistakes.
the best ways to invest with alow price , triks to beginers also thanks a lot
Thanks Chaimaa – will do!
So I just wrote on my site about my big loss in investing (The post “How I lost $5200 Investing), and basically I am very hesitant to start trading. I’d love to see you discuss where a person should start…should someone buy their 1st place before getting into trading? Or can trading start at anytime? And isn’t a lot of it very personal when it comes to individual investing? I would love to hear your opinions!
Sure… I’ll address those in the new year! Thanks for dropping by and adding your questions…
I’d like to see information regarding income-producing options strategies.

Thanks Khaleef… good luck with the giveaway!
I am hoping to learn even just the basics about investing in the stock market in 2012…It is something I am just starting to get interested in, so I am an extreme novice.
Excellent… Thanks Gina. I’m planning on focusing a little more on the “newbie” investor in 2012… so I look forward to your contributions.
I’d like to hear what you have to say about investing as a first timer and with limited funds.
Will do shortly Jessi… thanks!
The thing I most want to hear discussed is why the stock market keeps plunging in 2011 and if we can expect that to happen in 2012 as well.
Thanks Terra… We’ve definitely spent some time (http://www.investinthemarkets.com/markets/the-fattened-piigs/) looking at the 2011 picture… I’ll talk about 2012 too in the New Year. Thanks for the great idea!
I’d like to see you talk about the situation in EUrope
Will continue to do so!
