4) Share a breaking news story with me. Please donât just copy and paste. Paraphrase the news into your own words.

Please organize your case for each section so I can easily see which part you are answering.

Imagine a close friend asks you if they should attempt to manage their own portfolio or hire someone to help them. Share the pros and cons of both as well as at least one resource (book, article, video, etc.) not yet shared by one of your classmates that can help them decide.

Pros- Managing your own investment portfolio can come with a lot of personal satisfaction. If you are a sophisticated investor you can enjoy the advantages of not having to deal with third party fees such as brokers, financial advisors or any other financial service organizations. Some of these fees can range anywhere from 0.15% to 0.7% annually, it may not sound like it is much but if you are investing on a large scale with big volume this is a lot of money to just give away. According to an article I read alleged that, âMorningstar admitted that low cost was a bigger indicator of superior performance than their own mutual fund star ratingâ (Carter, 2014). This is definitely an eye opener, to show that a good chunk of what your portfolio earned went to fees and commission. So if you have the ability to take your investment in your own hands and manage it yourself, I would advise to go for it.

Cons- There is a lot to know when it comes to dealing with the complexity in the financial arena. Itâs like someone telling you to operate a heart surgery procedure on yourself. Yikes!! I hope not, especially if you didnât go through the proper schooling and training. However does that means it is impossible, of course not it can be done (managing your portfolio that is). The financial world has a different lingo, culture, knowledge of terms. You can easily loose if you are not prepare or willing to dedicate yourself to learn the basic and then more.

I would recommend someone who is new to investing and the financial world in general to read Mind over Money: Overcoming the money Disorders the Threaten Our Financial Health by Drs. Brad and Ted Klontz. This book can server as a beginnerâs insider to learning and understanding basic of over coming bad money behavior.

Carter, E. (2014)Should You Pay Someone To Manage Your 401k? Retrieved fromhttp://www.forbes.com/sites/financialfinesse/2014/05/16/should-you-pay-someone-to-manage-your-401k/#7d92ba2f65921990d4546592

COMMENT

note all the things that could be improved with the denial email.

Denial Request for Discussion (Adapted from connect.thomsonlearning.com)

Dear Rich,

Out of the 97 books you returned to us, only 25 are acceptable. Our return policy is very specific as to the condition the books must be in before we will accept them. Some of the books you sent did not even come close to meeting our return conditions. It costs us extra time to go through boxes of unacceptable books; it costs you extra money to send them to us and then pay again to have them returned to you.

In each book order we include a copy of our return policy. Attached is an extra one for you to put near the place you sort books. As you can see, it states that we give 100 percent credit on some books. But they have to be returned in saleable condition. That means they must be new and have no marks inside them. They have to be returned within 12 months of the original invoice. For old editions, returned books will not be accepted if they are not within 90 days of our announcement of a new edition. Returned books must also be returned with a copy of the original invoice.

You returned 31 copies of Hefferman's College Writing Handbook, 2^nd edition. We couldn't accept this return because we announced its third edition 14 months ago. Donner's Introduction to Marketing (22 copies) could not be accepted because they were imprinted with your bookstore name and price on the inside cover. You also sent 14 copies of books from various authors, but we can't give credit for these copies because we did not publish them.

Although you have a good record of placing orders and paying on time, this return shipment had many problems. Despite the large number of unacceptable returns, we are crediting your account for $626.25. This is for 25 copies of Miller's The Promotable Woman at a price of $31 each. We charged a 15 percent restocking fee plus $32.50 shipping for returning the unacceptable books.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to respond. We appreciate you being our costumer.

Sincerely,

Joe Smith
