Risky business

Michelle Henderson, a talent agency owner in Los Angeles, Calif. understands the stakes when it comes to investing. "As an agent I work in a commission-based world, and have to invest in both people and ideas all the time," she says. "Though I'd had bad experiences with stock investments in the past, I knew I would eventually find something that would work for me. I invested in a diversified metals portfolio made up of palladium, silver and gold, and earned a profit of 38% with the palladium alone. Staying focused on making money, and following World Financials advice, I was able to earn an above-average return and greatly increase the overall value of my assets safely."

Most rating systems have little to no predictive element in them. It's natural to think that the best performer of the past will be the best performer in the future.

And that seldom works.
