What can you, as an individual investor, do to cope with the ups and downs of the financial markets and make progress toward your long-term goals? To begin with, you should be aware that the financial markets have fluctuated greatly – daily, monthly and yearly – over the past three decades. Overall, though, the financial markets trended upward, as measured by major indexes such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S & P 500. Of course, as you’ve no doubt heard, past performance can’t guarantee future results. What was responsible for this long upturn? Most experts cite several factors: sharp declines in inflation and interest rates, vastly improved worker productivity (largely brought on, for at least a few years, by more advanced and efficient information technology), growth in emerging markets and a long run of strong corporate profits. risk tolerance would normally allow. For example, you might be tempted to pursue some “hot” stocks that you heard about through a friend, co-worker, or one of the socalled experts on the cable television shows devoted to investing. But by the time you hear about these stocks, they may not be so “hot” anymore – and they may never have been so hot for you, given your individual needs, goals and risk tolerance. So, instead of ratcheting up the aggressiveness with which you invest, look for other investment techniques to help yourself advance toward your financial objectives. • Boost your investments in your retirement plans. Contribute as much as you can afford to your 401(k), IRA and other retirement accounts. The earlier you start, the more years you’ll be giving your investments to potentially grow. • Be open to working longer. If you like your job, and you’re prepared to be flexible, you could gain some key benefits by working just a few more years than you had planned. Specifically, you can keep contributing to Can a generally positive investment your 401(k) and IRA, and you also might be environment continue in the years ahead?

Spriggs, www.inwPrep.com Free “Bug-out Bag” Workshop, Thursday Evening, Oct. 20 So, what’s all the hype about these “Get Out Of Dodge” bags, that can cost hundreds of dollars? Find out how a neighbor has created a very respectable and locally-sourced “Get Home” bag for 40 bucks! With winter coming, this should be “standard issue” in every vehicle in North Idaho. Check last winter’s issues of the CDA Press to read about those who’ve died in or near their vehicle; let’s put a stop to these tragedies. Details are still being ironed out as this article is being written, so go to www.inwPrep.com for complete info on this FREE event. Meanwhile, here’s what Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, says on the subject: “The primary purpose of a bug-out bag is to allow one to evacuate quickly if a disaster should strike. It is therefore prudent to gather all of the materials and supplies that might be required to do this into a single place, such as a bag or a few storage containers. The recommendation that a bug-out bag contain enough supplies for seventy-two hours arises from advice from organizations responsible for disaster relief and management that it may take them up to seventy-two hours to reach people affected by a disaster and offer help. The bag's contents may vary according to the region of the user, as someone evacuating from the path of a hurricane may have different supplies from someone who lives in an area prone to blizzards, tornadoes or wildfires. “In addition to allowing one to survive a disaster evacuation, a bug-out bag may also be used when sheltering in place as a response to emergencies such as house fires, blackouts, tornadoes, and other severe natural disasters. “Some survivalists also recommend keeping a 'get me home' kit in the car and/or at work. This is a kit to enable a person to get back home from work in an emergency where all transport cars and public transport have broken down.” Russell Spriggs facilitates off-grid, gardening and sustainable living classes. He is a Vietnam era veteran who has actually lived off-grid with solar power, gravity-fed water systems, organic greenhouses, dairy goats, poultry, and 40 years with honeybees.
