How to Protect and Grow Your Money

What do we make of this economy and stock market right now? Why aren't people more positive about the good numbers? Why do the markets react every time there is a whisper of  raising interest rates? Join us for conversation with Bob and Charles Kreitler, from New Haven's Kreitler Financial, affiliated with Raymond James.

  • Pay yourself first. Have money, even small amounts, deducted from your paycheck automatically and deposited in a savings account. It's never too late or too soon to start. 
  • Extreme diversification is what protects portfolios in an unpredictable world. Don't put too much in one sector.
  • Becoming a day-trader or investing all your savings in your company's stock exclusively is a dangerous game.

Join the conversation on Twitter or on Facebook.

GUESTS:

  • Robert Kreitler – Certified Financial Planner™ professional, manages a New Haven branch office of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.
  • Charles Kreitler – president, Kreitler Financial

MUSIC:

  • “Gne Gne,” Montefiori Cocktail
  • "The Gambler," Mike Doughty
  • "Money for Nothing," Greensky Bluegrass
