Charity Donations Are Great, but Doing This Is Better

June 15, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
Filed under: Investing Many people who give charitable donations to nonprofits are uncertain that their giving is effective — that it makes a difference, that the nonprofits are high-performing, and that significant impacts are being achieved. You can do research on a nonprofit’s website, and rating sites like Charity Navigator and Guide Star, which provide background information on nonprofits. However, if you’re passionate about a nonprofit’s cause, you can offer it more than a monetary contribution — and learn how your contributions are being used. Here is the best way to assess nonprofits, and [...]

June 15, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
Filed under: Investing North Dakota has a flaring problem, and it’s hurting the U.S. economy and the environment. A negative impact of soaring hydrocarbon production is the rapid increase in natural gas flaring in North Dakota. Oil and gas producers don’t want to set valuable production ablaze, and neither does the general population, but without adequate midstream infrastructure in place there are no other options. Currently ~30% of North Dakota’s natural gas production is being flared, but by 2020, the state government wants to reduce that to just 10% of natural gas output. While [...]

Look Inside Your Sector ETF Before You Buy

June 14, 2014 by Harry Joiner - Add Comment
When choosing an ETF, many investors look for a sector that they think will outperform the overall stock market.
