5 Financial Resolutions for the New Year
Improve your financial health with these financial resolutions:
- Diversify with non-traditional and non-Wall Street investments. For example real real estate.
- Lower your ETF (and mutual fund) expense ratios. The ETF revolution is constantly competing for your money with an expense-ratio war. For instance, consider VEA vs EFA.
- Consider employing a buy-write strategy, either on your own, or via an ETF such as PBP as a modest part of your investing strategy.
- Improve your investment tax savvy. Know your ETF and mutual fund distribution dates, and consider selling before them (if you are going to sell any way). Use option-strategies to lock in short-term gains until they become long-term capital gains. Use tax-deferred accounts for high-tax investments (like junk bonds).
- Re-balance and re-align with your long-term investment allocation strategy.
