My husband and I are two of the millions of people in our country who are deeply worried about the state of the economy. In addition to these concerns, neither of us are particularly proficient when it comes to the art of investing our money. It is a very daunting task for us to figure out where to put our funds . . . so daunting that we would much rather hand it over to strangers whom we have never met. We have always participated in 401Ks, but should we have a more hands-on approach towards where our money is being invested?
This week marks the launch of Inner 8, a website created by some of the founders of E*TRADE. This site is created for people who would like to take control of their own finances. It offers resources to connect you with other members who can help you access investment opportunities. You can also take a look at what choices successful investors are making with their money. The Inner 8 Tools help you track trends and analyzes the market for you. If you are already investment savvy, you can share your experiences with the rest of the Inner 8 community.
