As tax season starts to ramp up, many people will be coming into perhaps some long awaited money.  Hopefully you haven't already decided to purchase something that will not improve your overall financial well being and instead are primed to start making some solid financial investments in 2017. Even if that is not the case for you, and you are just ready to tackle your financial future that is fantastic idea if you are thinking along those lines and you have come to the right place.  I have consolidated a list of links to blogs I have written on three online investment services which let you invest in stocks and the market in some pretty different and unique ways which can all serve you well.  These services provide very good platforms for any level investor that is looking to put their money to work for them in this New Year!

Here are the services that you can use to invest and a brief synopsis of each one.  Based on the synopsis, if this interests you, click on the link to the right to learn more.

Acorns - Acorns Investing

Speaking of starting small, think of how a small acorn can grow into a big tree, well for this company that small acorn is your pocket change.  Acorns allows for you to invest your spare change into a diversified index portfolio which could grow into that big "money" tree.  Yes, your spare change!  You link the credit/debit cards which you make your purchases on and they will be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar and that change will purchase shares in a portfolio you select automatically when your change has accumulated to $5 or more. 

Loyal3 - What Is Loyal3?

Loyal3 is a company to allows people to invest in individual stocks of popular companies and IPOs for as little as $10 and no commissions when you buy or sell.  You are allowed to make one time purchases or you can setup recurring transactions to purchase shares of stocks in companies you are likely to use all the time already.  You can build up to a full stock share if you don't have all the money right in the moment to purchase a full share.  You can started small and dollar cost average your way into some great companies.

Motif Investing - Motif Investing

Motif Investing is very unique in how they allow you to build a custom or themed portfolio of stocks of the latest trending ideas.  You can chose up to 30 individual stocks into what is called a motif, and then purchase what's in for as little as $250 and $9.95 commission per trade.  Just imagine, you can have the acronym "FANG" F-Facebook, A-Amazon, N-Netflix, and G-Google motif.  You can purchase it in fractional or whole shares, and giving the stocks within the motif the weighted percentage you choose each to have.

Well, there you have it folks, the big three for you to choose to put some or all your money in one, two, or each of the three. As a matter of fact, I personally use all three services as they each give me an fantastic opportunity to shape my financial well being in their own special way.

Disclaimer:  Financial investments using these and other financial services are subject to risk in that you could lose your entire investment due to the nature of investment exposure to the stock market.
