It is important to be well informed on your investments. So often, people overlook the essential task of good financial record keeping (which includes knowing what assets you have and where these are). The most common occurrence is investing in shares and having the documentation in disarray. Many people have made mistakes which have cost them good money. No matter the value of the investment, it is YOURS and should be accounted for.
The process for these activities isn’t complicated. Investors just need to CREATE TIME to take ACTION.
There is so much information available on the SEC and CSCS websites.
