Giving to Charity

On my other website (www.littlebuddhaproject.com), I had a week long discussion about charities and the value of giving. I know that this seems to be an odd subject for an investing site, but there is some value for investors too. I’m not talking about just tax right offs.

Let’s be honest, if we don’t have a purpose, it’s difficult to stick with something that can be frustrating (like the stock market). If you find that you are losing purpose for having a portfolio (except money), try trading stocks to give a portion to charity. Pick a good round number and once you profit, donate! I would suggest starting with 20% of the profits.

Giving can be a very rewarding endeavor.

Do you think I’ve lost it? Do you give to charity? Let me know in the comments. Happy trading!
