NAOI Investor Education - Target Audience

The NAOI Target Audience Any person with money to invest will benefit from completing an NAOI Study Course. Whether you have $1,000 to invest or $20 million. Whether you are targeting aggressive goals or just trying to hang on to what you have. Whether you have just started your first job out of high school or have been investing for 30 years. The basic principles of investing are the same for everyone and the need for knowledge, planning and action resources applies across the board. Not everyone, however, will use the information they acquire from our study courses in the same manner. Below are a few investor “types” that make up the NAOI Target Audience and how each will benefit from NAOI education.
New Investors. Some of you are just starting your working career and may have only a few thousand dollars to invest. You may think that this is not enough money to get serious about investing. Quite the contrary. You have something far more valuable than money; you have time. Time is the most precious asset that exists in the investing world. But time, like money, must be used wisely. There is no more productive investment you can make at this stage of your investing career than the commitment of time to learning how the investing world works. An Investing Plan created now can guide your decisions throughout your investing career. You will benefit more than most from completing an NAOI Study Course.
Experienced Investors. Perhaps you have invested for years and are comfortable with your knowledge. Fine. But to maximize your potential you also need to keep up with the latest tools of the trade. Almost every day new Web resources crop up and innovative trading vehicles (e.g. Exchange Traded Funds) are introduced into the market . Regardless of your level of investing experience you will learn something new and find new Web-based resources in an NAOI Study Course that have the potential to improve your investing results.
Conservative Investors. If you are an investor simply trying to hold onto what you have, or trying to generate a monthly income, you may think that “serious” investing is too risky for your situation. Confident investing is not reserved for those that trades Focused Funds, Stocks and Options. It also applies to finding the best Core Mutual Funds and using Options in a manner that generates income with minimal risk. You should also understand that knowledge and involvement in the process substantially reduce the risk of all types of investments. This may mean that you CAN invest in securities that have higher returns without exceeding you risk tolerance!
Aggressive Investors. Some of you have investing goals requiring returns that far exceed market averages. You cannot meet these goals by being a passive investor or by relying on third party advice. You need to trade focused funds, stocks and or stock options. You will learn how through NAOI education. We are not talking about “day-trading”. We are talking about learning how to identify investments poised to move higher in the short to mid-term, buying them and then putting in place a trading plan that enables you to maximize profits while limiting risks. If you know what you are doing and stay involved then realizing returns far in excess of market averages is well within your capabilities and risk tolerance levels.
Investors Who Work with Advisors. Perhaps you are happy simply acting on the advice of a full-service broker or financial advisor. In NAOI courses we encourage you to seek professional input either from financial advisors or from newsletters. Our courses even show you how. But we discourage you from passively accepting recommendations from any third party. As an NAOI course graduate you will, at a minimum, be able to actively work with and challenge your advisor by analyzing any recommendation they give to you. Even if you don’t plan to spend a lot of time on your investing activities, the amount of time you do spend must be productive. It takes no more than a few minutes using the online resources discussed in the NAOI Study Courses to ask the right questions. Gaining the respect of your advisor is priceless!
Skeptical Investors. You may believe that when it comes to investing the deck is stacked against you and that no matter what you do you will probably “get taken”. Certainly if you are going to try to trade stocks or buy funds without being properly prepared then, yes, the odds are not in your favor. But if you are willing to prepare yourself by completing an NAOI Study Course or preferably the entire Confident Investing Series, then the odds swing dramatically in your favor. If you are a skeptic, we would ask that you suspend any preconceptions until you finish a course or the entire Series. Then decide your level of interest; you may be surprised. Don’t quit before you have started.
What Type Of Investor Do You WANT To Be? No matter what “type” of investor you are now, the question is: What type of investor do you want to be? Don’t put yourself in any of the above categories until you have finished the NAOI Confident Investing Series. Then make your decision based on knowledge. Don’t “type” yourself by default. We have seen students completely change their attitude toward investing after completing NAOI courses, transforming from uninterested and passive to enthusiastic and motivated. You may just be surprised at the type of investor that you really are!
