Five Dollar Investor blog editor
Hello. This blog is tailored towards novice investors and/or those investors who are interested in learning how to invest very small amounts of money in mutual funds and/or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

Back in the 80s I sold insurance products and mutual funds for a large insurance company as an insurance agent and a Registered Representative.

I obtained a number of licenses while working at the insurance company. I had to take and pass a Series 6 securities exam in order to sell mutual funds.

My goal with this blog is to explain to you the basics of mutual fund and ETF investing. I will show you how to invest your money for the long term using no-load mutual funds and ETFs with low fees.

All of my investments will be revealed here in blog posts. Any and all gains and losses from my investments will be revealed as well.
