Excellent website, master Kung Fu Girl!! Tell me more…
Thank you, LS, and welcome to Kung Fu Finance!
Happy New Year!!!
Susan, I believe in your mission and values whole-heartedly. I would love to connect with you and see how I can help you spread your message. I, too, have a blog that discusses many of the same points and would love to feature articles by you on it. Please contact me at my e-mail if you are interested.
I am just starting out on investing.
Would this website and your advice be useful for people who live outside the States.? I live in UK
Hi Keith!
Welcome to Kung Fu Finance! I get this question frequently, and my answer is “yes,” (at least I hope so!). Especially in today’s globalized world, it is difficult to talk about the U.S. without discussing Europe (Greece, Spain, Germany, and even the UK although you guys aren’t in the eurozone) and also China, Japan, India, and Australia. We are much more interdependent than we have ever been, and the crises that affect one country propagate to many of the others. Also, unlike many sites, I am not solely focused on “the U.S. stock market”– while that is what most Americans immediately think of when they hear the word “investing”, I prefer to consider that as just one part of the whole investing universe (not to mention the corruptness of Wall St., but I digress…)– stocks (and global stocks and exchanges, not just the U.S.), bonds, commodities, real estate, currencies, and more.
I also talk about macroeconomics quite a bit because particularly in today’s global economy they are more important than ever. Geopolitics, history, and macroeconomics– these are the driving forces behind the major trends that you want to be “on the right side of” (to the extent possible!) as an investor. And most of the basics like “how to read financial statements”, “how to value a company”, “what is ‘yield’”, etc. apply to all places equally…
So in short, I hope that you find this useful no matter where you live!
Welcome to Kung Fu Finance, and thank you for your question!

Dear kung fu girl,
Do you know of any bond funds that may be good investments. It seems they are less volatile than stocks whether going up or down. Also I would think that investment grade bond funds might not be too risky. i think pimco may have some good ones for individuals to buy.
Thanks

Also, producing more and creating more for other people/companies will never earn me more money, proportional and equitable with the amount of efforts put in.
Well, with the FED alive and active, we (as a state) keep financing our debt since the interest the money issue by the FED earns goes into the pockets of a few elitist clique not back into the state bank (and be part of what we commonly own.)
So, in its current incarnation our nation is enslaved to a few and will never get out of the debt.
Moreover, the political establishment, the banking system is reinforcing what I just said in the phrase above.
Here are some supporting views for those interested.

Have some more info of the kind, just ask me or Google yourselves.
Kung Fu Girl,
I’m new to your site and am enjoying reading all of your articles.
You seem trustworthy. I’ve subscribed to a few financial sites and have been
bombarded by offers that sound interesting but I’m naturally skeptical.
One is for a service that provides names of 10/86 plans to provide income
from oil & gas pipelines. Another is a newsletter that researches penny
stocks. What are your thoughts on these type of offers?
(Both of these are being promoted through Agora Financial)
“They” can make gold illegal just as FDR did…”they” also control the price of gold also. So, that isn’t the be all, end all. It’s a rigged game all around.
