Investing

Currently I do not have the funds to start investing. Which is okay because I need to learn more about it. I've read The Little Book of Common Sense Investing by John C. Bogle and Guide to the Perfect Portfolio (it's meant for Canadian)s by Dan Bortolotti. In fact I've got it on hold from the library again to refresh myself. Both of these deal with investing in stock and bond indexes. Guide also deals with ETFs (exchange-traded funds).

So if I can't invest anytime soon what am I doing posting about investing?

The other day I discovered that through my bank I can have a PRACTICE investment account. They give me $100,000 (not real) to practice with.

Using the Canadian Couch Potato's model portfolio the Complete Couch Potato I invested all of my money. This portfolio has a good mix and I'm curious to see how well it's going to preform.

If you want more information visit the Canadian Couch Potato's website at: http://canadiancouchpotato.com/

There's a FAQ and they can explain things so much better than I can.
