Consumer Escapes - D-I-Y Investing

I'm a lousy do-it-yourselfer when it comes to home repairs and improvements. The joke in my family is that a handyman is needed to fix my fixes. Whatever the markets, I've been an effective do-it-yourselfer when it comes to investing. Interestingly when it comes to fixing "stuff" I'm a "breaker." But when it comes to financial stuff, amazingly we've never had a broker. So admittedly I'm better with Schwab than with spackle.

Recently I got turned on to an investing website that is stunning in its design and ease. It's called Kapitall and it employs oversized drag-and-drop icons that brings a visual flavor to investment research unlike anything else I've used. I'll happily trudge through the microscopic type of Value Line at the local library. Kapitall now gives me a way to go online and organize that data. Give it a look. It's educational, it's fun and it's free.

Wish I could say that about fixing the toilet.
