The Clever Investor: Loyal3 Update – 02/17/2016
Before looking at the specifics of how my stocks performed over the last 30 days, let’s review the rules for my Clever Investor game:
- Investments are made using the 100% Free investment platform, Loyal3 which allows me to invest in increments as low as $10.
- I will invest an additional $50 a month, budget willing, based upon results
- Results are reviewed in the middle of the month (approximately)
Here we go!
