Hello Aspiring Gemologists and Jewelers,

     I have completed my studies and am now investing to start my business.  For the past year I have done some long-term investing but I want my business to start before I reach retirement age.  So I have been researching and gathering ideas from varies banks and outlets I have had interest in.  One evening during this month of September I was looking for banks in London to possibly do business with in the near future and I came upon England’s most historical bank.  I don’t want to mention it but will leave you a link to a webcast that was given by the bank, featuring one of the board members. 

     Although I digress, I enjoyed the video and it gave me some ideas on what to invest in, in the United States; especially during this time when the Fed just decided the week of September the 16th not to increase the interest rates.  Which is wonderful news to me. 

    During the video, I believe the speaker was Mark Carney.  He said something that resonated with me every since I heard him say it.  “This is an Investing Recession.”  Which I believe is quite true.  If you can you should simply invest in as much as you can while the interest rates are low, and before the price of items skyrocket.  Whether it be short term or long-term; I’ve only been involved in long-term investments until recently.  I believe any short-term investment will bring a nice return and can only help you in the long run.

     I have faith that what I invest in short-term, or long-term will help me put my business into gear at the end of the next five years.  I have completed some of this,  JOURNEY’S education, and Full Sail pushed me to actually complete my business plan and put it into action.  All I have now is patience in my business plan and my investments.  Until next time!

Truly, Simona!
