Also, Whenever you are thinking of making a new investment, you should first do some Due Diligence, research about the company and the investment.. Some starting points:



1. A good place to start is the investment prospectus available through your broker or agent. The prospectus or OM is a document describing an investment offered for sale.



2. It usually contains a short statement of the objective of the company or mutual fund. It also contains a financial statement showing assets and liability, performance over a number of years, and any fees the investor must pay.



3. Check out the officers and directors, where are they from, how long are they staying? Keep in mind that past performance is not a guarantee of future success. REITs are good and there is The Titan REIT up-coming next month sometime.



4. What is the relationship between the selling Group and the owners of the potential investment?



5. What is your Broker's role with your porfolio, is he promoting the stocks his Company "likes" ?



Most companies will send copies of their annual and quarterly reports free of charge to prospective investors. The annual report contains a description of the company's business, its financial statements and other updated and condensed financial and non-financial information. It is important that you read this information so you know exactly what you are investing your money in. Remember asking to see a prospectus does not commit you to making the investment. further economic gains into the future depend on attention to the entire portfolio, there will be little need for analyzing the results of neglect."
