In fact, navigating the investment world can seem like a daunting task if you're going it alone. So, make it easier on yourself - and get the help you need.
When you work with a financial professional, you can become a better investor. Consider the following highlights of a 2004 survey of investors by the research firm of Mathew Greenwald & Associates Inc.

 While driving along Conlon Road you may be surprised to see alpacas looking back at you. If so you must have passed Indian Chimney Farm, a 65 acre farm that is the home of Chris and Kim Grant, alpaca, horses, goats, several chickens and Clyde the dog. The farm is an agritourism destination, open to the public for special event weekends in October, November and December.
Initially the Grants bought the farm to live on. Chris makes his living as an Internet consultant. His firm, Gorges Web Sites, specializes in Web design, application programming, and Information Technology (IT) support. The farm was Kim's vision. She is an Animal Sciences graduate of Cornell who grew up on a farm in Rochester. For now Chris earns the money that they turn around and put into the farm. "I like to tell people it's very tax advantaged."

 If you do a lot of word processing, budgeting with spreadsheets or develop presentations at work but do not like paying a premium to buy software like Microsoft Office to handle these tasks at home, there is actually a proverbial free lunch in this case. Most people who work for medium to large sized companies, health and government agencies or academic institutions most likely use Microsoft Office, but would rather risk breaking the law by illegally copying the software for their personal use than pay a $300 to $500 price tag.
So, rather than spending sleepless nights worrying about the Software Piracy Squad knocking down your door like mongrel hordes from a credit card commercial, there is actually a free and legal downloadable software application that can compete with many of the features found in MS Office. It is called OpenOffice it can be downloaded from the OpenOffice.org site - http://www.OpenOffice.org.

Overcome "Inertia" When Managing Your Portfolio
If you remember your high-school science classes, you may recall Newton's first law of motion, which says, in essence, that an object at rest will stay at rest unless a net force acs on it. This principle is also called the law of inertia. But you don't have to be a scientist to be acquainted with this phenomenon - in fact, if you're an investor who hasn't done anything to your investment portfolio for a long time, you may be experiencing inertia first hand - and that could be a problem.
