Investing The Real Truth
Investing and money is a major topic on most people minds these days. Adding to that fact there is no shortage of people out there trying to make money showing you the secrets to investing and how to get rich investing for a price.

Not only do you get a discount on your first purchase, there are usually other perks, such as bonus reward schemes, free catalogs or magazines, and special shopping days, where you can avoid the crowds and shop in peace.

Dividends are payments from shares, unit and investment trusts, which, investors hope, are not only regular (usually twice a year) but also rise over time to reflect the companys (or trusts) growing fortunes. Dividends are taxable as income.
