Over the last week, I found myself thinking about what a new investor might want to know or be mindful of as they start their financial freedom journey. Considering I haven’t reached financial freedom yet, I thought I would list some investing advice I’m taking to heart, advice that never seems to go out of style. Hopefully the advice below helps you, words of wisdom you’ll consider adopting if you haven’t already done so. Let me know what rings true to you in a comment below.

TORONTO – North American stock markets could be in for a slower than usual week amid concerns about when the Federal Reserve might start to cut back on stimulus measures while winding down for the Thanksgiving holiday.
But things will pick up at the end of the week when markets start to find out how enthusiastic shoppers were at the unofficial start to the U.S. holiday shopping season, Black Friday.
As well, Statistics Canada issues its gross domestic product readings for September and the third quarter on Friday, and that may help the Canadian dollar as the data is expected to show the Canadian economy put in a better than expected performance.
“The signs are, aided by a rebound from both the flood effects and the Quebec construction strike in June, the Canadian economy looks set to turn in a fairly decent performance in Q3,” said Peter Buchanan, senior economist with CIBC World Markets.
