About Youthful Investor

Youthful Investor is a blog based website which updates within the week on investing insights, news, strategies and commentary from the perspective of a twenty something investor.  Posts can be in depth with analytical research or short and concise thoughts.

Founded in September of 2011 Youthful Investor is the product of years of interest in the financial markets and a way to broadcast that passion to other people my age. The goal is to make this blog eventually more than a blog but nevertheless provide free entertaining and informative content to the readers.

The blog is always growing and trying to cater to new readers on investing practices that affect us young people. This includes investing in things other than stocks. Such topics include the more conventional such as forex. However, we take alternative investments to the max, writing about domain names and websites as investments.

More conventional topics such as commodities, bullion, penny stocks, bonds, ETF’s, etc. are covered at length as well.

About Scott

What is my favorite Stock investment?

My favorite stock might always be the first stock I ever bought, Eaton Corp. Partly because it is a diverse industrial company, partly because it is incorporated in my home state of Ohio but mostly because it was how I first learned to invest using a DRIP system with dollar cost averaging.

What is my favorite Alternative Investment?

It is hard to decide because I hold an example of just about every alternative investment from fine art to bullion to domain names. My favorite though has to be rare coins because of the history associated with them. The designs are in themselves gorgeous.

What do I do in my free time?

When I am not reading investing commentary or working on this website I have a variety of interests. Being an entrepreneur is one of my greatest passions as I love to turn nothing into something and dreaming about it does not hurt.  I also enjoy reading history and international relations. During the summer I take an interest in gardening as well. When I am stuck indoors a wide array of board games with friends and family are much enjoyed.
