As soon as I strike it rich as an international businesswoman, I am As soon as I strike it rich as an international businesswoman, I am definitely going to be an investor!definitely going to be an investor!

When I invest my money, I now know there are many factors to When I invest my money, I now know there are many factors to consider when deciding how to do so. Time frames describe how consider when deciding how to do so. Time frames describe how much time usually needed to make an effective investment. Stocks much time usually needed to make an effective investment. Stocks are generally considered to be long-term investments, about 5-18 are generally considered to be long-term investments, about 5-18 years. Regular bonds also have long-term time frames. If I were years. Regular bonds also have long-term time frames. If I were looking for something with a shorter time frame, I would put my looking for something with a shorter time frame, I would put my money into a savings account. Dollar-based investing would also be money into a savings account. Dollar-based investing would also be something to think about. If I opted to invest this way, I could buy, something to think about. If I opted to invest this way, I could buy, say, $200 worth of selected stock each month. This would ensure say, $200 worth of selected stock each month. This would ensure steady investments over the long-term, and would most probably steady investments over the long-term, and would most probably lead to profit. The value of the dollar is also going to be important lead to profit. The value of the dollar is also going to be important when I invest my money. If the value of the dollar is low compared when I invest my money. If the value of the dollar is low compared to the Euro or Yin, I would probably invest more in the stock market, to the Euro or Yin, I would probably invest more in the stock market, in hopes of improving our economy. If this were the case, I would in hopes of improving our economy. If this were the case, I would probably steer clear of international markets. Risk factors will also probably steer clear of international markets. Risk factors will also come into play. Investing in a newer, more low-key business, such come into play. Investing in a newer, more low-key business, such as Red Hat, Inc. has a high risk factor since it is not a stable, firmly as Red Hat, Inc. has a high risk factor since it is not a stable, firmly established corporation. Although there is great opportunity for established corporation. Although there is great opportunity for success in new businesses, there is also a chance that it will fail success in new businesses, there is also a chance that it will fail altogether. However, a corporation such as the United Postal altogether. However, a corporation such as the United Postal Service is much more stable, so would be considered a low-risk Service is much more stable, so would be considered a low-risk investment. Everyone uses shipping industries, and that will more investment. Everyone uses shipping industries, and that will more than likely never change. For this reason, it is very improbable that than likely never change. For this reason, it is very improbable that UPS would fail as a business.UPS would fail as a business.
