4 Important Investing Strategies That Tori Dunlap Swears By
Any financial professional will tell you it's important to put your money to work for you, but that's easier said than done. Thankfully, Tori Dunlap, founder of the company Her First $100K, which is designed to teach young women about financial literacy, has some advice on investing and retirement plans that can help you achieve this. Check Out: For You: On her podcast, 'Study Hall: The Best Investing Advice,' Dunlap shared the ways everyone can be financial feminists and invest in themselves over time in ways that are profitable, sustainable and yield higher returns. According to Dunlap, here are four important things to always remember about investing. Dunlap shared that a common misconception about investment returns is that they are on par with gambling. While she noted that any investment involves a risk of losing money, the goal is to think of the process in the long term, not a short-term roll of the dice. There are lots of financial trends that appear lucrative for a hot second, or investments in stocks or bonds that skyrocket in just a day or two. However, these are often flashes in the pan that ultimately do not give you long-term financial stability. For Dunlap, the key is to stay locked into an array of various investments that will accumulate growth for a sustained period of time. Good To Know: While stocks can go up and down with every tumultuous shift in the economy, the best course of action is to navigate the market conditions with consistent investment decisions. Dunlap recommended that you assess the dollar-cost average of your investments and look at how it adds up when you continue to add the same amount on a sustained basis over a long period of time. In other words, you should focus on 'time in the market' instead of trying to 'time the market.' Dunlap reminded anyone timid about starting an investment portfolio that there will always be good times and bad times, but the secret is riding the waves of the market no matter what. Depending on where you are in your life and career, asset allocation for retirement might feel like a long way down the road. However, Dunlap stressed the importance of mapping out your fiscal game plan for retirement now instead of when you actually retire. That's because it is likely that when someone retires, they do not cash in their investments all at once like one big emergency fund. This means you'll need a roadmap for how to make strategic withdrawals along the way. Dunlap suggested that utilizing a CD ladder and opting for Roth IRA contributions, which are penalty-free, allows someone to access their funds as well as provide security for the future. This is perfect for you if you have a lower investment risk tolerance. If you can see, you can be it. While that might sound dreamily wistful, it's true in Dunlap's opinion. Investing requires you to imagine what your finances and how they support your lifestyle will look many years from now in order to stay goal-oriented. More people are motivated to keep investing if they can mentally picture how it will shape their life in retirement. 'You are making sure you're having a great life right now and a great life in ten, twenty, thirty years,' Dunlap added. 'So, I would like you to imagine the best version of your older self.'

Investors in OptimizeRx (NASDAQ:OPRX) have unfortunately lost 55% over the last three years
It is doubtless a positive to see that the OptimizeRx Corporation (NASDAQ:OPRX) share price has gained some 73% in the last three months. But that is small recompense for the exasperating returns over three years. Indeed, the share price is down a tragic 55% in the last three years. Some might say the recent bounce is to be expected after such a bad drop. While many would remain nervous, there could be further gains if the business can put its best foot forward. It's worthwhile assessing if the company's economics have been moving in lockstep with these underwhelming shareholder returns, or if there is some disparity between the two. So let's do just that. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Because OptimizeRx made a loss in the last twelve months, we think the market is probably more focussed on revenue and revenue growth, at least for now. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size. Over three years, OptimizeRx grew revenue at 16% per year. That's a fairly respectable growth rate. So some shareholders would be frustrated with the compound loss of 16% per year. The market must have had really high expectations to be disappointed with this progress. So this is one stock that might be worth investigating further, or even adding to your watchlist. The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). We consider it positive that insiders have made significant purchases in the last year. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. So we recommend checking out this free report showing consensus forecasts It's good to see that OptimizeRx has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 34% in the last twelve months. Notably the five-year annualised TSR loss of 1.3% per year compares very unfavourably with the recent share price performance. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Take risks, for example - OptimizeRx has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of. If you like to buy stocks alongside management, then you might just love this free list of companies.
