Improve your Stock Gains by 1% Per Year!

You may be asking who cares about a puny 1% return, but did you know a 8% return over 40 years will multiply your retirement account 21.7 times, but a 9% return will multiply 31.4 times? Ok, 1% sounds good let's get it shall we?
Here's 3 ways to make it happen:

1. Start Sooner - This isn't exactly gaining more, but using the starting example if you would of started your investment 5 years earlier your outcome would be similar to that of the 9% investment. All without improving your investments or taking on extra risk!


2. Trade Less - If your trade commisions are 4% of your account than if your trade 25% less you'll earn 1% more on your account.


3. Watch your Taxes - Careful tax planning can improve your overall returns. Using 401k's, IRAs, long term capital gains, tax loss write offs and other tools can easily improve your returns by 1% per year, perhaps a lot more. Talk to your tax accountant and find out what oppurtunities are available to you under your current situation.
