Welcome to ROCKETSTOCKSBLOG.COM

Welcome to the Inaugural and opening of Rocketstockblogs.com!!!

The content of this blog will vary. While we are not a personal finance blog, we will try to apply the lessons from the world into our own finances and aim to share them as well. Some of the things we will routinely discuss:

• Getting out of debt – Many of us at some point in our twenties (some of us in our thirties and forties too!) owed someone else a lot of money. There are ways out – even if you are on the edge.
• Taxes – Saving money on taxes makes a huge difference, particularly for people living in California. This blog will go over some innovative ways save money tax free, own your own money, and help you grow your money while minimizing your tax exposure while still within the laws of the IRS!
• Planning for Retirement- There are many tax-friendly retirement options available to everyone. By choosing the right account, you can put away up to $42,000/year of pretax money if you meet the requirements
• Portfolio Management- Diversification, dividends, short-term gains, and long-term gains, etc.
• Trading– We will provide stock picks of stocks we think are not properly analyzed or covered by Wall Street in order to try to find opportunities in the short term. We will also go over options and how to use options and use the increased volatility in the market lately to make money.
• Investing – Because the authors of this blog have varied backgrounds and are positioned globally we hope to put our insights together to come up with some good ideas for macroeconomic trends that we can take advantage of.
• Big Market Picture- Conceptualizing what factors are moving the Market, and understanding the macroeconomic picture is half the battle to being a good investor.

One of the reasons we put this blog together is we’ve been giving people advise at cocktail parties on subjects like when to buy (or not to buy) a house and where the dollar is going but would like a better forum to lay out our case and because these things are often easier to explain when you are not slurrring (and remember!).

We also want to compile all the information and research of our friends and coworkers. Many investment strategies have gone unrecorded for the enrichment of others.

We also invite you to add your comments, rants, opinions, and suggestions. Ideas and research become good ideas and research when they hold up under scrutiny!
