As An Investor, What Would Be Your Primary Objective?

The primary objective of an investor is to make market gains. However other important factors must be considered such as: How much risk am I willing to subject my principal to? How long am I willing to wait? How much return do I want? Unfortunately there are many "professionals" in the industry who are all too willing to take your money and invest it for you. Before you trust anyone’s advice I would advise you to completely understand exactly how your investment works. If you do not have time to research your investment then do not invest period. Investing without first learning the mathematics behind the (1) timing, (2) allocation (3) the underlying value of the investment is like driving before you learn how. You will not end up at your finale destination.
