Here are a few of the best tips that I have heard over the years:
1. You will not get rich in the stock market. You will get reasonable rates of return, but that will be over a long-time horizon. People get rich in one of four ways: They inherit it, they make it in real estate, they make it by owning a business, or they save a tremendous amount over a long period of time. Do not overestimate the stock market returns and understand how it works. Develop a reasonable investment strategy, stick to it and over time you will do fine.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Caroline Bennett]
Zillow a zippy stock?
Even though its P/E looks overvalued, Zillow is still the stock to watch when it comes to online real estate markets. In 2012, the company made $50 million more in revenue than did rival business Trulia (NYSE: TRLA ) . In addition, its spike in advertising dollars could lead to even more traffic, which could interest even more real estate agents and create a solid cycle of sales for the company. It's a buyer's market in the real estate industry, and Zillow has its finger squarely on that market's pulse. - [By Rich Duprey]
Trulia (NYSE: TRLA ) provides similar information to homebuyers, sellers, and owners, but, unlike rival ZipRealty, there are large holes in the information Zillow and Trulia provide, because real estate brokers can withhold information from them at will.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Udovich]
Small cap construction software stock Textura Corp (NYSE: TXTR) has been all over the place lately, meaning it might be time to take a look at it along with other small cap or mid cap construction, design or real estate software stocks like RealPage, Inc (NASDAQ: RP) and more well known Autodesk, Inc (NASDAQ: ADSK). After all, enterprise software stocks like these would offer a more indirect way to bet on a housing or construction ��ecovery,���ust like building materials stocks; plus earlier this summer,�a benchmark global study (sponsored by Textura Corp) called Global Construction 2025 predicted that the global construction market will grow by more than 70% to reach $15 trillion by 2025.�

Goldcorp, Newmont (NEM) or Agnico-Eagle use similar definitions. The important element here is the so-called 'sustaining capital expenditure', which is the capital required to sustain existing production levels. The table below is taken from the Agnico-Eagle presentation referenced above and provides a comparison of company-wide AISC for some of the major gold miners, including Goldcorp, Barrick Gold, Newmont Mining, Yamana Gold (AUY), Randgold (GOLD), Kinross (KGC), Agnico-Eagle Mines, Eldorado Gold (EGO), Goldfields and Centerra (CAGDF.PK). The difference between cash costs and AISC is significant. It is also important to note that these AISC are still noticeably below the present spot price for gold.
