Is anyone buying investment real state in Nebraska. where is good to buy and why?



Try contacting a local real estate agent. They will know everything there is to know about affordable, lucrative areas. A really good website to browse local real estate/real estate agents is: http://www.realestateforsaleinnebraska.com

It's really easy to navigate and is full of info about realtors with links to their personal websites. Most of their websites will have all the available homes/rentals in the area along with community info, so you can do some research before you contact anyone. Hopefully that works for you. Good luck!

College Savings Plan of Nebraska......?

I am investing for my son who is 1 year old. Which of the investment options would you suggest for the long term?


First, let me congratulate you for planning ahead and starting early on investing for college. When your son is ready to enter college, you'll probably be very glad you did!

I'm not familiar with the Nebraska plan (though I did just take a quick look at it), but for a child that young, you have quite a few years before needing that money, so I personally would go with 100% stocks because historically, over long periods of time, stocks have the highest returns of any asset class. When the child gets within a few years of needing to go to college, I'd move some (but not all) of it to something more stable (but lower yielding) like money market funds.

It looks like Nebraska has "age based" funds which have the advantage of reallocating the money automatically as the child ages. Something like that could be a good choice for someone that doesn't want to have to think about how and when to reallocate the funds. I see four choices there from "Aggressive" to "Conservative". Which you choose will have to depend on your own personality. Generally, the "Aggressive" can be expected to bounce up and down a lot more, but in the long-term grow the most. The "Conservative" probably won't bounce up and down as much but also probably won't grow as much either. It's a personal decision whether you're will and able to handle the greater ups and downs of the Aggressive in order to likely have more money when he goes to college.

If you choose not to use the age-based funds and allocate the money yourself, what I would do with my money for my child would be something along the lines of 15-20% international, 30-35% small-company stock, and the rest in large company stock. That provides pretty good diversification, but would fall into the "aggressive" category, so that might not be what you want to do depending on your risk tolerance.

What's a good investment in the external hard drive market?

I recently had to bring in my laptop to Nebraska Furniture Mart to have it worked on as it stopped working. I may or may not get my data back.. and thus I have wanted to delve into the external hard drive market.

I'm looking for something around 100 bucks.
I'd prefer it to be powered by USB or Firewire as plug ins are limited in my office.


If it's a network capable hard drive, that would be even better as I have three computers in my house, and well we might as well make it easier to back up all three computers. However, it doesn't HAVE to be network capable.


I'd prefer something not gigantic, but it doesn't have to be super small either.


I need probably around 300 GB to back everything up.
