6. Savings Vs. Investing
! Savings
accounts
make
sense
as
a
way
to
build
on
your
founda@on
of
having
goals,
following
a
budget
and
insuring
yourself
from
risk.
Inves@ng
may
offer
a
greater
return,
but
at
a
higher
degree
of
risk.
! Savings
accounts
are
typically
insured
by
the
Federal
Government,
and
offer
a
stable
rate
of
return.
This
is
perfect
for
an
emergency
fund,
where
you
might
need
to
access
the
funds
quickly.
! Savings
Bonds
are
not
insured,
nor
can
you
access
the
funds
as
quickly
as
a
savings
account,
but
you
can
purchase
them
at
discount
to
the
face
value,
making
this
a
safe
and
secure
way
to
start
to
build
up
your
savings
accounts.
! Money
Market
Funds
from
a
bank
offer
federal
deposit
insurance
and
can
be
accessed
by
check.
Money
Market
funds
from
an
investment
company
are
not
insured
but
may
offer
a
higher
rate
of
return.
! Cer@ficates
of
Deposit
offer
a
higher
rate
of
return
and
are
insured.
You
money
is
on
deposit
for
a
specific
@me
period
(three
months
to
10
years).
Saunders Learning Group, Newton, KS

7. Investments
! Typical
investments
include
corporate
stocks
and
bonds,
mutual
funds,
Exchange
Traded
Funds
(ETFs),
real
estate
and
riskier
investments
like
op@ons,
futures
and
commodi@es.
! Inves@ng
in
securi@es
provides
you
with
an
addi@onal
tool
to
help
you
reach
your
financial
goals.
! Savings
accounts
create
a
secure
financial
founda@on
! Securi@es
have
historically
provided
be_er
protec@on
from
the
effects
of
infla@on
and
taxes,
by
earning
be_er
returns
than
savings
accounts.
! To
be
financially
free
from
worry
and
to
plan
for
re@rement
you
will
need
a
mix
of
income
from
social
security,
company
pensions,
savings
accounts
and
investments.

8. Building Your Pyramid

your
pyramid

9. Annuities and Government Securities
! Insurance
companies
offer
a
range
of
annuity
products
that
have
a
secure
rate
of
return
with
various
maturi@es.
Also
included
in
annui@es
are
variable
annui@es,
where
the
rate
of
return
is
not
fixed
and
the
insurance
company
invests
the
principle
amounts
in
a
pooled
investment
with
the
goal
of
providing
a
greater
return.
! Government
securi@es
include
U.S.
Treasury
bills
and
notes,
sold
at
ac@on
and
resold
in
a
secondary
market.
This
allows
an
investor
to
purchase
securi@es
that
offer
a
be_er
return
than
a
savings
account,
may
be
tax-­‐free
and
comes
with
some
risk
(Interest
rate
risk).
! Government
bonds
have
longer
maturi@es
and
are
also
resold
in
a
secondary
market.
! Many
mutual
funds
are
available
that
invest
in
a
range
of
government
securi@es
allowing
an
individual
investor
to
have
their
money
professionally
managed.

11. Risk vs. Return Investments
! As
the
risk
level
of
an
investment
increases,
the
poten@al
return
usually
increases
as
well.
! Investments
in
stocks,
bonds,
mutual
funds,
real
estate
and
various
commodi@es,
op@ons,
futures
and
foreign
exchange
transac@ons
do
not
come
with
insurance.
! While
most
of
us
would
like
to
see
be_er
rates
of
return,
it’s
important
to
understand
the
risk
of
losing
your
principal.
! By
building
up
a
solid
founda@on
with
low
risk
investments,
most
consumers
can
now
comfortably
take
on
the
risk
of
inves@ng
in
securi@es
that
are
not
insured.

13. Hitting the Peak of the Pyramid
! Investments
at
the
top
of
the
pyramid
should
only
be
a
small
part
of
your
overall
investments
(Perhaps
5-­‐15%).
! With
these
investments,
you
have
the
poten@al
of
losing
your
en@re
investment,
and
the
chance
of
higher
returns.
! Markets
in
these
securi@es
change
quickly,
so
you
either
have
to
be
an
ac@ve
trader
or
work
with
a
trusted
broker.
! In
some
cases
futures
contracts
or
op@ons
on
these
contracts
act
a
form
of
insurance
for
other
risks
in
your
investments.
For example, if you own 100 shares of IBM, you might be able to sell an
option (known as a “Covered Call Option” for those shares at specific
price. If your shares never increase in value to the value of the
covered call, you retain your shares and the proceeds of the option.
You do however have the risk of having the option purchaser exercising
the option and buying your shares.

14. Speculative Trading – Futures, Collectibles

15. Managing Risks
“The
safe
way
to
double
your
money
is
to
fold
it
over
once
and
put
it
in
your
pocket”
–
Frank
Hubbard
! But
if
you
want
to
build
true
financial
freedom
for
yourself
or
your
family,
you
need
to
apply
the
principle
of
the
investment
risk
pyramid
to
build
a
stable
founda@on
for
addi@onal
inves@ng.
! This
is
not
the
“Get
Rich
Quick”
approach
that
you
might
want,
but
it
is
a
proven
common
sense
approach
to
building
financial
freedom
over
@me.
! The
more
you
know
about
seTng
goals,
budge@ng,
protec@ng
your
family,
savings
and
inves@ng
the
closer
you
will
come
to
having
true
financial
freedom.
