Go to WAR with NO FEAR

NO FEAR , Like 50 Cent said , Get Rich or Die Trying.

I have NO FEAR , I want to leave my mark on our world . And when I look back from my death bed , I want to be able to smile. For knowing that I helped make a diffence in our world.

To be able to leave my only son , everything that matters in our world. Pride , strength , and will to fight back , when the world brings the fight to you.

Just each and everyone of us has to do . We fight to keep going , and we have to take the hits . No matter how much they hurt us. We have to keep moving forward.

Stand your ground , fight with everything that you have . Learn as much as you can . Life is not albout money and your bank account. It is your will to do more with what you got , to turn your true investment your life , into a great return .

Life is the WAR , the Money part is the Battle .

Fight Hard for Both !

Battle Plan to make a Million Dollar's

Here at Lunsford Investments , the battle plan is to make a million dollar's .
As soon as I can. I do not claim to be the next Warren Buffet. And if I had all the answers , I would already have millions of dollar's .

So , let me explain my battle plans .
First step , I started my buying Wal-Mart Stock , from my paycheck. Which Wal-Mart adds 15%. So , infact Lunsford Investments already makes a profit of 15%.

2nd step , I opened up my 401k plan , from work. Which again I earn another 15%.
The 401k plan is not a sexy path to make a million dollar's. However , I the money is Invested every paycheck , and the it is a tax break every paycheck .

3rd step , I bought some Silver Proof Coins and Gold. The Silver and Gold Investment is good , but not much of a return on the Investment . However , if I would have bought Gold years ago , then Lunsford Investments , would be closer to the million dollars. Which could be the same if I , started buying stocks earlier aswell.

4th step , I opened up a free checking account . I know the free checking account will not make Lunsford Investments any money. But , it is used as a tool to move money . Which will be covered in Step 5.

5th step , I opened a Money Market account through ShareBuilder ING.
ShareBuilder , is a side company owned by ING , which is used to buy Stocks. Now , that I have a ShareBuilder account , I earn interest on the Money Market Account , which is better than a Saving's account at the Local Banks.

Now , for the best part of ShareBuiler. In Step Six.

6th Step , I signed up for Automatic Investment Plan , with ShareBuilder. Which I buy Stock every week.

7th Step , I set up the AIP , to buy different Sector's of Company's four times a mth. Such as week 1 , I buy Entertainment Company Stock.

1. Regal Entertainment Group
2. WWE
3. Disney
4. Marvel

Week 2 Teck

1. Waters
2. Verizon
3. Leap ( Criket )
4. Sprint

Week 3 Retail

1. Target
2. Nike
3. JCPenny
4. Wal-Mart

Week 4 Travel and Hotel

1. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd
2. Wyndham Worldwide Corp
3. Starwood Hotels & Resorts
4. Host Hotels & Resorts Inc
5. Carnival Corp

Week 5

1. Coke
2. Pepsi Co
3. Pepsi Bottling Group
4. Coors
5. Darden

I have my AIP , set up like a Mutual Fund. I got the idea after reading the investing books that I bought. Almost every book said that the only way to make a million dollars , from investing in stocks . Is from a Mutual Funds . So , I just set up my own kind of Mutual Fund . In my own way .

8th step , I opened a Saving's Account with ING , which has a nice Interest rate. And again I know that a Saving's Account is not a Sexy Investment. However , ING added 25 dollars to my account and they gave me a week in Free Real Time Trades. So , in my eyes that was a good return on my Investment.

I will add more steps , later .

Now , Lunsford Investments is not earning 30% on my returns , like Warren Buffet.

Yet , if my math is right . I am earning about 12 to 15% , from my returns.

This the first wave of the Battle , on the War . To make a Millon Dollar's.

WAR , on making a Million Dollars.

I have read books , watched Video's. Looked at stock reports on the Web.

And yes , I know , I believe I can make a million dollars in about 5 to 10 years. From investing on the Stock Market. I know this what everone says. However , I already am on my way , to earn one million.

The first thing that , I did was start my 401k account. With 1% of my job income , yes 1%. Hear me out , the next thing I did was take out 5% percent in the company stock , from my job.
So far , that 6% out of my pay-check. Which my company adds 15% per investment. For example with every 40 dollar's I invest with in the Company stock adds 6 dollars. That is a win win for me. Now , at the end of the year , my company will add 15% on to my 401k. That right is a win win for me as-well.

Now , was this enough for me ? No it is not. So , I started buying Silver Proof Coins , and Gold. I did that for a year. And Now is that enough ? No it is not .

Then I opened open up , a stock account with sharebuilder . And I have set it up my
automatic investment plan . Which I have set to buy 7 stocks a week. At which whatever dollar amount I want to invest with.

Now , is this enough ? No not yet . However , I am almodt their . Now , I have the tools , I need to learn the market. And pick and choose which companies to buy . Like I wrote , I have read books on investing . And they all say to buy Mutual Funds . Why ? My guess is that is how they make a living .
But they all say that Mutual Funds , hold about 1000 Companies in the Funds. Hmmmm , now is these Mutual Funds , spead out your money into different companies . Then why cannot I do the samething ?

The answer is Yes , I can !!!!!! Just like Obama said.
So , I have set my automatic investment plan set on about 10 differnt companies. WWE , WMT , Nike , RCL , and others like Waters.

And my map of my plan , is to buy atleast buy 10 shares from each company . Then I have another set of companies that I automatic investment in . Such as Coke , Coors , and RGC.

Now , that is set up . I have another part of my strategy . ETF's , that is part two of the War. Part three of the strategy are Bonds . And of course my Money Market Account , along with a savings account and a High Yeild Checking Account.

The War , I started on making a Mikkion Dollars is set in play . And I will fight this War till I win.
After all I have only one Life to Live , and By God I will fight to win the War.
