Triple My Money: How Long and What Does It Take?

Posted by Sun (16) Comment

You are probably familiar with the Rule of 72, which tells you when the one dollar you invest today will be worth $2 once you have a rate of growth. If your annual rate of return is R%, then it will take you (72/R) years to double your money. For instance, for a 6% return [...]

Free Inc or LLC Service from MyCorporation This Week

Posted by Sun on December 3, 2008 (0) Comment

If you are looking to start your own business, now may be a good time as the economy shows no sign of improvement and unemployment rate reached multi-year high (this Friday’s monthly unemployment report could be even worse than last month). If that’s what you have in your mind, then you may want to take advantage of this offer.

This week, from December 1st to 5th (there are still two days left), MyCorporation, an Intuit company which makes TurboTax and Quiken software and the now-free Quicken Online, is offering FREE incorporation and LLC filings for business owners. To begin your own incorporation of LLC filing, use this link to go to MyCorporation and use coupon code MYGIFT to start the process. Usually, the filing can cost you $149 at MyCorporation, but now it’s totally free.

Late last month, they had a similar free service, but that lasted for only one day. If you missed that one, you certainly don’t want to miss this opportunity (it may come up again later, but who knows). Go to MyCorporation and get your free incorporation or LLC before it’s gone.

Actually, I am considering getting one myself :)

When stocks suffer, so [...] Continue Reading…

You Can Now Link Your ShareBuilder Account to ING Direct

Posted by Sun on December 3, 2008 (1) Comment

When I logged into my ING Direct account this morning, I noticed a new function that I didn’t remember a couple of weeks ago when I checked my account last time: The function to allow you to view your ShareBuilder brokerage account right from ING Direct.

Actually, I think this function is kind of overdue because it has been more than a year already since ING acquired ShareBuilder. Though I [...] Continue Reading…
