Multiple investment vehicles.
Hello BP!
Here I am very early in my foray into investing in any way shape or form. Real estate investing is a logical choice for my family. Both my wife and I are currently employees involved in the market. Her on the financial side, myself more on the bricks and mortar side. It seems logical we could use our specific talents to not only our employers advantage, but our own as well.
Alas before I ramble on to far let me get to the crux of my post. As sensible, and fairly certain that real estate investing is in my near future, I'm also taking a strong interest in the financial markets. A little swing trade on momentum, possibly advancing to transform into core holdings? Maybe scalp a day trade here or there when the opportunity arises?
I understand focus is a key factor towards success. It's better to do one thing extremely well compared to multiple things mediocrely. Still I can't help but feel the draw towards both as investment vehicles. I'm curious how many more successful and further down the path real estate investors are also interested in the financial markets. Do any of you out there do any trading? Maybe a bit of the ole Ben Graham value investments as a way to diversify? What about other investment vehicles? What do ye say BP? Where's the BP stock watch group? What franchise are you going to buy into? Anyone investing in art, or maybe wine? Who doesn't like to have nice things to look at or be able to sample multiple vintages and turn a coin? What do you say BP? What investment vehicles outside of real estate do you partake in?
