Be focused on the future

Complexity of investment consists in that we try to accept reasoned decisions, being based on the events which have already accrued. It is final, important to look at the data on company sales for last periods, but it is much more important to understand what will be with these sales next years.

Here in certain cases will be more important to make the estimation of all the company and industry. If this or that segment of economy grows and blossom for certain hardly more or less reasonable company will miss such chance.

Consider long-term prospect

High short-term profits can turn a head to beginners in the market. But accounting of long term investments and thinking negation in style “has seized and has escaped” is the main thing for the investor. It doesn’t mean that active trading it is impossible to earn money. But it is necessary to understand that trading and investments are different things, they mean different risks and different experience. Active trading demands as well other personal qualities from the person.

Once again we will repeat: it is impossible to consider any style of investment obviously better or worse than others, each variant has the pluses and minuses. But active trading can appear bad idea for people who have no corresponding free time, the sufficient financial resources, necessary formation and passion.

Escaping in active trade is one of the most serious errors of beginning investors. The main thing is that it has passed quickly and not too painfully for the deposit. Trading against investment is as debauchery against home life. The long-term and safe pleasure from the first can be received only being professional. For satisfaction from the second it is enough to be a reasonable “fan”.

Be curious

Thousands of present small companies have chance to become “blue chips” in the future. Besides, historically on a long time interval (since 1926 for 2001) the small companies traded at a stock exchange, on the average brought to investors greater income, than index S&P500. It doesn’t mean that you should generate completely the portfolio from shares of the companies of the second echelon, after all and “monsters” sometimes show rapid growth.

Be afraid of taxes, but don’t worry too strongly

Taxes can reduce considerably your profit on investment, but it is necessary to think of it only after you will think of profit earning. The main thing is to create a successful personal investment strategy that there was an occasion to reflect on taxes.

So I hope that these rules are pretty easy and understandable to you. Remember in investment there is nothing you should be afraid of, just act and make money and your freedom in financial life.

The days when governments have been showering people with all types of grants have passed. At least for a while. But that does not imply that you should get rid of the idea of getting small business grants.

Everything is possible with smart approach; small business grants including.

Don’t pursue “fashionable” shares

Even if you receive council about purchasing of this or that paper from the brother, the matchmaker or the broker, you shouldn’t blindly follow it. When you invest in a concrete paper, it is the extremely important to understand, why you do it. You conduct your own research of the company, which share is going to buy for the blood. To submit to opinion of others, of course, is easier and it is sometimes more interesting (how to play a lottery), but in this case you will be not the investor, and the player given on will of a case.

It is necessary to specify that you should listen to councils, but to perceive them not as the guide to action, but as one more occasion to own researches and conclusions. To wave away from councils of clever people, counting only on yourself is very in an American way, but it is not always effective.

Don’t worry for trifles

You are a long-term investor, therefore current market fluctuations, even strong, shouldn’t beat out you from balance. You should see an overall picture and not worry from current loss of several percent.

All is true, I always tell it to myself. By the way, this rule contradicts the first point a little.

Don’t overestimate coefficient P/E

Investors often too pay attention to coefficient P/E (the relation of share price to the profit having on this share). Recognizing that it is important coefficient, investors make decisions on purchasing or sale of papers only looking at it. Actually, P/E has to be interpreted within the limits of a context and to be used only in a combination to other indicators of work of the company.

Resist the charm of cheap papers

One of the most often meeting errors of investors is purchasing of cheap (in absolute expression) shares only because it seems that such papers “have no place to fall” more. Actually, cheap papers fall and grow (in percentage) precisely as also expensive one.

Choose strategy and adhere to it

Different people use different methods of a choice of shares and achievement of the investment purposes. There are many ways to be successful in the market and any strategy isn’t obviously the best. Having chosen once style of investment, try to adhere to it. The investor who rushes about between different strategies of a choice of papers usually receives the smaller income, than that adheres any to one of them. Look, as Warren Buffet behaved during boom of the Internet companies. Its strategy focused on real value of the companies, hasn’t allowed it to take part to a hysterics round “fashionable” shares (and to earn as some), but also has saved him from the crash which has followed soon (and ruined many) to lose much.

The days when governments have been flooding people with all types of grants have passed. At least for a while. But that does not mean that one should forget the idea of getting small business grants.

Everything is possible with smart attitude; small business grants including.

That is what you should not do in crisis time:

The text, in general, is more about base rules of financial literacy, but in it there are also interesting thoughts concerning investments into financial assets and real estate. It seemed to me that this note can help to lay in a head some things in a correct order.

Ignoring a situation. If you didn’t pay attention to a situation with your personal finance now it is a high time to make it. How many credits do you have? For how long you can live on savings if will lose the income? The ostrich’s management method never works as money. Hold the breath and look on house cash, a condition of your accounts in banks, the sum of credits. Pay accounts and review the budget in search of superfluous expenditure. Freshen relations with creditors and track, whether you tighten payments.

Pulling out money from investments. If you take away money from contributions, shares after asset prices have decreased, receive at once some problems. First, probably, you should pay for too early conclusion of money. Secondly, you will lose an interest income in bank. Thirdly, probably, it is necessary to pay taxes. At last, you can drop restoration of the market and growth of your assets. Don’t make decision in a fear condition; consult with more counterbalanced and skilled people. Accurately in advance understand how much money you will lose at premature closing of investments. Probably, in it also there is a sense, but anyway it is necessary to see the entire picture.

Borrowing money. Credit cards and consumer loans pull out money from your purse every month. Besides, if you are mistaken with payment entering can get on penalties and the raised percent which is usually much more above current payments. Therefore and in a normal situation borrowing money is dangerously enough and if there is a danger temporarily to lose an income source, it is total madness.

Now it is a high time to show consideration for the work and career as much as possible. Millions of people lose work, and your task is not to appear among them.

Acting as the guarantor under another’s credits. If the friend, the relative or the fellow worker asks you to be charged for its credit in bank it is better to offer your help in other kind and in those volumes which you presume. Otherwise if something happens you will suffer much more strongly as the bank won’t get rid of you.

Real estate market. Now the prices for real estate seem quite attractive in comparison with the prices a year or two ago. Probably, you will have a thought to purchase apartment — for cash or on credit. It is not the best idea. On the one hand, the prices can continue to fall, and your investment will turn to be a long-term and unprofitable investment.

It is very crucial that government, despite this crisis is not leaving to help small businesses. And small business grants can be a real helper right now.

But, of course, you should understand that today the fight for small business grants as well as for other types of grants has become harsher. This is natural – more businesses need them. So before you start your fight for the small business grants, please make sure to check out this blog for more helpful tips about grant industry.

It would be desirable to receive predictability also from securities. We take company Coca-Cola: diligence and imagination, with which the company approaches to a question of sale of goods were to the greatest degree showed during board of Roberto Gozuet which has much made for business value increase, so, and for the shareholders. By means of Don Keuf and Dug Ivester Roberto has reviewed and has improved each aspect of activity of the company. But business bases are the qualities which cause competitive advantage and stunning economic indicators and it remains invariable for many years.

Not so long ago I studied report of Coca-Cola for 1896 (you feel thus so as if has lagged behind the times). Then Coca-Cola 10 years was the leader in the market of soft drinks. And already then the company plan for development has been constituted for 100 years forward. Reporting about a turnover which that year has constituted 148.000 dollars, Aza Kendler, the president of the company, has told: “We weren’t late in the efforts to present to the whole world our drink as the integral component of health and good mood”.

Though, about “health” they have, of course, exaggerated, but I am glad that today the company leans till now against ideas of Kendler. And a century later! Hundred years ago Kendler spoke:” No other drink has received such mass approval “. Today Roberto supports this idea. By the way, the syrup sales volume in 1986 constituted 116.492 gallons (nearby 440.340, and in 1996 it equaled about 3,2 billion gallons (12 billion). I should quote Kendler once again:” Having begun this business year on March, 1st, we have hired 10 direct-sales representatives whom, following regular instructions from company office have covered almost all territory of the country “.

The companies similar to Coca-Cola or Gillette, it is quite possible to name “invariable”. Analysts can disagree concerning what part of the market of soft drinks or shaving accessories will be occupied with these companies in 10 or 20 years. Our reflections about invariance also not in the least belittle value of vigorous activity which should be performed by the companies concerning production, system of sale, packaging and creation of new products. But any keen observer even if it is the main competitor of one of these companies provided that it will be fair that there is no doubt that they gain leadership in the world markets during the investment period. Most likely, leadership of the companies only will amplify. Over the last ten years both companies have considerably increased the and without that a huge share in the market, and all indicators specify that this tendency will remain and within next ten years.

It is obvious that percentage indicators of many companies involved in sphere of new technologies or embryos will grow much faster than indicators of “invariable”. But I prefer confidence of good result, than hope of remarkable result.

The days when governments have been showering people with all types of grants have passed. At least for a while. But that does not mean that you must forget the idea of getting small business grants.

It means failure to act by reasonable behavior. Neither we, nor the majority of other heads don’t dream of feverish trade in assets of highly profitable affiliated undertakings only because minor alteration of discount rate of the Federal Reserve System or because certain specialists of Wall-Street have changed the opinion on the market. Then why we should act differently with minority shareholdings of the perspective companies? Art of successful capital investments in the public companies differs from art of successful absorption of branches. In each case you simply want to acquire the enterprise with remarkable economic indicators and a capable fair management for the acceptable price. According to you it is just necessary to consider, whether there are these characteristics available or not.

Frequently skillful realization of such investment strategy brings some securities which can quite become an important part of an investment portfolio. The investor could achieve similar result at purchasing of certain percent, we will tell 20 %, from the future incomes of several outstanding basketball players from a college command. Few of them become leading players of national team NBA. Then profits from their game become for the investor the basic and generous compensation. The assumption that this investor will sell some the most successful investments only because they became prevailing in its portfolio, and it is equivalent to the assumption that basketball team Chicago Bulls will sell Michael Jordan because it became very important for a command.

Studying our investment activity in the relation to affiliate companies, and common stocks, you will see that we prefer the companies and industries which aren’t subject to the big changes. The reason of it is simple: at this or that type of purchasing as the basic criterion for us high competitiveness which the company will possess in ten years serves. Quickly changing industry can bring huge benefit, but it doesn’t give that confidence which we search.

I should underline that we welcome changes: the fresh ideas, new goods, innovative processes, etc. raise a level of living. However as investors we concern roughly developing industries the same as to outer space exploration. We admire these courageous attempts, but we prefer to stand aside.

Certainly, any company undergoes some changes. Today company vision in many respects differs from that what it was in 1972 when we have acquired it. It offers other assortment of confectionery, uses others equipment and goods sales channels. But the reasons, on which people continue to buy boxes of sweets from us, instead of at somebody else’s, practically haven’t changed since 1920th years when members of a family of Si have based the business. Moreover, these reasons can remain invariable for 20 or even for 50 years more.

It is very crucial that government, despite this recession is not abandoning to help small businesses. And small business grants can be a real helper right now.

But, surely, you should remember that today the fight for small business grants as well as for other kinds of grants is harsher. This is natural – more businesses need them. So before you start your fight for the small business grants, please make sure to check out this blog for more

Where to invest money now?

This question (where to invest?) wins the first place among the most popular questions investment and to financial consultants. The answer to it isn’t less popular: and what exactly you want to receive from the investments? For what term you plan to invest? And so on.

Let’s not go deep into poll process. We will assume that we speak about the investor, which purpose is to increase in an equity and time horizon from 3 years. We will consider that investment tools for today are the most attractive to such investor.

Gold and silver don’t get old.

Gold price has broken for the first time a record – 900 dollars for ounce.

This significant event became possible thanks to dollar downing and general instability on currency and stock markets. Some investors review the portfolio and invest it in precious metals, for example, in gold, as gold is the fine tool for hedging of risks during wild dancing of shares both in the exchange markets and smooth water of investment capitals.

Let’s consider some variants of occurrence of the gold market. The basic and most popular methods of investment in gold there is an acquisition of gold ingots, investment in coins and opening of the depersonalized metal accounts (DMA).

• Acquisition of gold ingots and investment in coins

In case of purchasing of a gold ingot or an investment in coin the investor receives precious metal on hands and he is free to dispose of it at own discretion: to present, sell or retain. The physical sensation of a cool and pleasant weight of metal warm and bring a joy to a soul of the investor. This sensation can last throughout unlimited term while gold won’t be sold. But for these fine impressions it will be necessary for investor to pay, and it will be rather big money. At the moment of acquisition of ingots it is necessary to pay 18 %-s’ VAT (value-added tax). Considering that physical persons aren’t payers of the VAT, they don’t have possibility to count it at the subsequent sale of ingots; this VAT won’t be returned in case of return sale of gold. Therefore, that “to leave in a zero” or to pay back the enclosed means, it is necessary, that it has risen in price at least for the sum of the paid VAT.

Besides, essentially to facilitate a purse of the investor can both heavy expenses on storage and complexity at transportation of “physical” gold.

• DMA (the depersonalized metal account)

The depersonalized metal accounts are while not much widespread investment tool. The banks giving possibility to invest through DMA, it is possible to count on fingers.

But DMA account has a set of pluses. One of pluses is absence of necessity of payment of the VAT at purchasing that does their more attractive to investment.

It is very crucial that government, despite this crisis is not abandoning to assist small businesses. And small business grants can be a real helper today.

But, of course, you should understand that today the fight for small business grants as well as for other kinds of grants is harsher. This is logical – more businesses need them. So before you start your fight for the small business grants, please make sure to check out this blog for more helpful tips about grant industry.

Separately it is necessary to talk about issue of guarantees of return of means and trust. All projects in the rules contain point, that any guarantees in the project doesn’t give also all contributions and you do meaningly at own risk, so what does it mean? For example, there are no real guarantees of return of the enclosed means! “Guarantees” of a following kind are often given:

certificate Web Money – at the best in reply to complaints the web money purse will be blocked, but by this moment in that web money purse there won’t be any money;

participation in known monitorings – is often bought, simply look at their black lists, after all, all these funds were in monitorings;

id data of the owner of fund are given – tens of such funds have already successfully failed.

I hope that you have already got the desire to rush into the world of investments like mad. Now it is possible to consider a number of types of projects in which it is possible to put money with minimum risk for yourself and your enclosed means: So let us consider what it is:

behind the project there is a real company;

contributions offer, some payment systems, they give low percent, but they can be also more reliable than those which offer great percent but hen simply disappear somewhere where you won’t find them anymore;

a number of managers of our post sponsors was opened by the investment funds while there were not any cases of bankruptcy from fraud behaviors of investors;

in a number of forums it is possible to find offers on contributions for small terms (further, as a rule, such projects or are closed having paid off or develop into actually funds). Practically always it is possible to find one or two if such offers.

a number of projects have internal (for participants) deposits with small percent where it is possible to put means earned at them.

I hope, these series of articles for you has cleared something, on the one hand having broken a part of illusions concerning fast enrichment and with another having shown that it is actually possible to earn something without being afraid that where it is some fraud or not, of course don’t think that you will earn a lot of money fast as in these very sphere it is almost impossible to do fast, but it can give you some good constant income and a good expirience. I advise you to try the forces in investments on the small sums, but don’t try to transform it at once into the basic earnings and always remember possible losses. It is better to consider it as gambling, than upon it and by the current moment.

The times when governments have been showering people with all sorts of grants have passed. At least for a while. But that does not mean that you should forget the idea of getting small business grants.

Everything is possible with wise attitude; small business grants including.

Real hyip

Money is enclosed in real projects that we cannot confirm in any way. Their signs:

a qualitative site – estimate design, degree of completeness of a site, banal absence of grammatical errors;

necessarily paid hosting;

the domain of the second, more rare of the third level;

it is desirable that on a site there were sections:

conditions of terms of service (though they have no legal force);

the description of strategy of investment (where money will be put up);

a forum;

withdrawals of investors;

references to monitoring projects where this site has ratings;

necessarily there should be a user account – you can get in the beginning it, look at its possibilities and only then to deposit money;

a contact information: an e-mail, phones, addresses and names of managers;

if at fund there is a considerable quantity of investors (an indirect sign of it high ratings, in several monitoring projects) it can mean the fast end of the program – enclose minimum is better;

it is desirable, that the fund had a minimum amount of the contribution of $10 or $20 – pyramids put a minimum of $1 more often.

Here some summary councils and the supervision received by practical consideration:

all funds are closed sooner or later;

enclose the small sum and checkup how much stably the fund works, how accurately he pays;

it is better to be enclosed in some funds, than in one;

don’t put the large sums of one fund!

average yield on funds, taking into account that some of them are closed constitutes at me of 10-20 % a month;

as the sums of contributions don’t exceed several dollars for reduction of commission losses I remove money in the portions of times in 2-4 days;

if the fund starts to write about hacker attacks, its site periodically to become inaccessible – remove from it money, as soon as possible and at least anything else in it don’t put (an exception – planned switching-off, hosting change, etc. – about them should warn in advance);

if the program site is slapped together don’t try to put there at all anything is a something ephemeral (scam);

the majority of funds become on sample scripts which it is possible to purchase all for $0.10, therefore the original design and scripts, say that the project is calculated at least for some months more often;

avoid projects in which in general there is no domestic account, and all registration consists in transfer of money for the specified purse;

a situation with funds change very quickly, it is desirable to trace it attentively, at least daily you should visit monitoring programs. So now you know that it is possible to enclose money to the internet hyip projects and now you should not be afraid is it fraud project or not, because you can easily distinguish it.

The days when governments have been showering people with all types of grants have passed. At least for a while. But that does not imply that you must forget the idea of getting small business grants.

Everything is possible with wise approach; small business grants including.

The earned money always should be increased greatly and each user of the Internet necessarily encounters attractive offers to invest the means in various projects. As a rule, the services offer us hyip (High Yield Ivest Project), investment funds, etc. In this clause they are considered together with a position of reliability and earnings possibility at participation in these projects.

In the Internet there are large quantity of hyip and funds. Every day are opened and closed tens investment projects. There are at once some questions:

Whether it is possible to earn on such projects?

How to choose the project for investments?

What there are guarantees of return of means?

So, earnings on internet investments are real, but risky enough. You are waited by the warranted losses, at least in several projects. At the best deal the profit received from other projects, considerably will block losses. Consider that the warranted earnings on investments are received by owners of funds and monitoring projects.

among such projects there are more swindlers than among the usual sponsors offering earnings for reading of mail, a clique etc. It is caused by that it directly pays ready cash with which always there is a big temptation to disappear. We will consider characteristic signs on which it is possible to distinguish swindlers from real programs:

1. Scam (swindlers)

As a rule they simply raise money and disappear. Some payments in a current of 5-10 days are usual conducted. Their short life is accompanied by an aggressive promotion company. Their signs:

offer high percent, above 4-5 % a day, or 100 and more for a week/month – such incomes simply can’t be received in real life;

hastily made sites;

as a rule, are absent in rating and monitoring projects;

some of them on external signs are indistinguishable from real hyip – check by time here is required.

2. Financial pyramids

This kind of funds has no real projects on an investment of money. All payments are performed at the expense of attraction of new investors. Can exist as in the small period (2-3 months), and in a current of year (in this case percent are usual offered small 2-3 % a day). In pyramids it is quite possible to earn, if you are enclosed there early enough, but unfortunately it is almost impossible to guess this moment. Their signs:

there are all signs of real hyip;

moderate percent of 2-5 % a day;

difficult referral system, as a rule some levels, high enough percent;

it is not necessary to be afraid of qualitative pyramids.

So now you know how to distinguish a fraud offer from the real one, and in the next article we will talk about some real hyip offers in the next article, so keep reading.

It is very crucial that government, despite this crisis is not abandoning to help small businesses. And small business grants can be a true helper today.

But, surely, you should remember that today the fight for small business grants as well as for other types of grants has become more fierce. This is logical – more businesses need them. So before you start your fight for the small business grants, please visit this blog for more helpful tips about grant industry.

Keep inflationary growth

There is a big risk that investors on pension have no strong control over adverse time. If the market falls shortly after you cease to work, it can increase chances that your means will end.

The reasons: as retired, you will sell the assets to live on these means, but it happens just during that time when they will decrease in the price. It means that at you will be much less investments which begin to grow when the market will be developed.

Fortunately, you can go without serious consequences on a correct way: only spend a bit less, than you planned. We will tell that you follow traditional strategy and remove 4 % (13 %) from your assets in the first year and raise withdrawals on 3 % (12 %) every year, thereby compensating inflation actions.

If you have started to adhere to such plan in 2000, the chance of your bankruptcy would constitute 22 % and if right after a collapse of dotcoms, increase of inflation within next three years could not be afraid and would reduce chances of your bankruptcy of 50 %.

Check up your mathematics

Decrease on 300 points on Dow seems awful. But if you invest in the share 100 %, your return on the capital, probably, is almost as bad as daily losses of the market. Even 30 %-s’ share of the means enclosed in bonds, would reduce your recent losses more than to one third.

Be engaged in calculations, simulate various variants of portfolios, considering your age, income and external circumstances to see, what way it is better to go to achieve financial success after a retirement.

Be aware of swindlers

Swindlers love bear markets – concerned people listen to these “convincing speeches” a bit longer. Fraud in oil and gas areas when promoters sell agreements on dry wells or parts of the suspicious equipment, is especially popular today.

“I saw, how people put a half of million dollars in them” – Joseph Borg from “Alabama Securities Commission” speaks.

Bright signs of fraud: the promise of the warranted ultrahigh income, attempt to put pressure upon the person on purpose to force to invest the capital as soon as possible while this improbable possibility hasn’t passed by.

Almost in all states projects and agents should be registered and-or licensed your state regulators.

Purchasing from low levels

“Sometime” – speaks legendary investor David Dreman, “we look back and we wonder why we weren’t more aggressive in fulfillment of transactions in this market”. This question, undoubtedly, many people will set, but the answer will be always the one: the transactions making on a bear market looks too dangerous.

However if you are ready to look, how shares fall even more low, before they will be recovered, and if you risk only a small part (less than 5 %) your portfolio on 5 purchasing it can become good method in the future to participate in their growth.

Dreman prefers “Bank of America” and “J.P. Morgan Chase”. More safe investment is purchasing of ETF such, as “Financial Select Sector SPDR” or “iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index” which invests in various sectors.

It is very reasonable that government, despite this recession is not leaving to assist small businesses. And small business grants can be a true helper right now.
