A Beginner's Guide to Investing for Football Coaches - part 2

My portfolio has undergone some drastic changes since I wrote part 1.  I expect for this to be my final piece on this topic, lest I have to start a new blog on investing, which I do not plan to do.  All the financial people add this liability disclaimer to anything they write: This is not financial advice.  Do your own research.  Fool.com is a great resource for stocks but I cannot pinpoint one source for information on cryptocurrency.  All I do is google different topics and cryptos and read articles to learn more.  I still use marketbeat.com to provide my news on my top 5 holdings and it is a valuable resource.

A Beginner's Guide to Investing for Football Coaches

I never in a million years thought I would write a post on investing, but this blog is devoted to helping coaches in any way I can, so here goes.  Just over a year ago, in October 2019, I was 46 years old with little to no savings.  I ended up taking off coaching the year of 2019 and I really focused on my teaching and had the most enjoyable year of teaching ever.  I did the Stock Market game with my Seniors, and that helped me to begin this journey.  

The time off from coaching was a blessing in disguise and I was able to finally plan for my family's financial future.  I did very well this past year and was able to more than double my money.  I am not a financial guru by any means, so please do your own research because the market is volatile and today's genius can be tomorrow's fool.
