		<description><![CDATA[During irregular economic times, it is common for a person or family to no longer be able to afford to pay all of their debts owed. Some of the debts include taxes owed on their property such as their home. This can be particularly devastating but a part of the agreement that they make in taking on a purchase that if they cannot pay the mortgage to the bank then they could be foreclosed and they can be forced to vacate for new owners; moreover, tax sales do not mean immediate removal, but the occupying family simply does not own the home anymore.

They have up to three years to purchase it back, but it will cost them far more than a few missed tax payments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Investors and Financial planners continue to reduce their exposure to money-market investments in order to reduce portfolio volatility and capital risk, at the same time low interest rates are driving appetite for alternatives investments capable of replacing lost risk-free income. In fact, for UK Investors, the best 3-year savings account yields just 4% per annum (2.4% after 40% tax), and with CPI inflation reducing the value of capital by 3.5% every year, cash held in deposit accounts will continue to lose value in real terms, hence the desire for high income alternatives.

Strategic property investments offer an interesting play for the Investor capable of tolerating the relative illiquidity associated with real estate assets, and many markets around the world offer a glut of opportunities as distressed sellers seek to rid their balance sheets of property assets in exchange for liquid capital. There is however a number of inherent risks associated with property investing, and direct investments often involve taking on the potential liabilities involved with tenant sourcing and management, annual taxes and property maintenance.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Income investing is a widely used strategy; indeed most investment portfolios - large and small - will hold at least some income investments. Historically, Investors and Financial Planners have relied almost exclusively on financial markets to access regular income streams; either through share dividends, cash held in high-interest deposit accounts, bonds of varying types or other nice income generators such as Permanent Income Bearing Shares (PIBS).

Today we find that more and more Investors and Advisors are seeking out alternatives to money-market investments as volatility, economic uncertainty and dismal interest rates converge to limit the income producing potential of traditional financial instruments. Many in fact are refocusing on that old favourite; property.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the current economic climate, many Investors and Financial Planners are seeking alternatives to volatile stock markets and dismal deposit accounts in an effort to boost portfolio income without dramatically altering overall risk profile. One such are of interest for the Income Investor is strategic property, as high-yield property assets can be acquired from distressed sellers with deep discounts to market value, enhancing income returns and reducing capital risk.

There are number of markets around the world where, in the tail end of the global financial crisis, income-generating property assets can be acquired from financial institutions keen to rid their balance sheets of illiquid assets in order to borrow freely in money markets. Indeed, holding defaulted loans or repossessed properties can limit the amount of borrowing a financial institution can do, and as such many are prepared to let these asset go at rock-bottom prices.

The most obvious market for Investor to consider is the US property market, where the bulk of sub-prime mortgage defaults have now been processed and foreclosed and a glut of property sits empty and unsold.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The advent of online share trading has seen a dramatic increase in stock market newsletters and courses. Many traders inadvertently find themselves stuck in the beginner's cycle. They may have attended a course or seminar, or purchased a black box system only to find the results are drastically different from those that were touted, so they move onto the next one.

Others may have purchased some trading software and read a few books to begin a more self directed approach, only to find themselves suffering from 'analysis paralysis' as they discover the plethora of indicators within the software and devote much time to discovering the holy grail.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In order for a financial vehicle to be worthy of all phases of a consumer's lifetime, it must be liquid, it must have a proven track record (or rate of return) and it must have the flexibility to adapt to the consumer's changing financial needs. Indexed universal life is a unique strategy that can provide all of these features and more. Let's take a closer look at how IUL can be a fit for each phase of a consumer's life: introduction, accumulation and preservation.

During the introduction phase, the consumer has usually completed their education/training and is eager to take on the world like a boxer lacing up his gloves for his first fight.]]></description>

With even the best safe investments paying zip it's important to look for investment opportunity elsewhere. How about an investment in real estate that requires no time, effort or management on the investor's part?

Real estate is the best investment opportunity for 2012, 2013 and going forward because it's selling cheap.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today's tough economic climate, people are looking for ways to get back some of their wealth that they lost over the last few years. Most conventional markets did not perform as well as they have in the past, which caused investors to lose a large sum of money. If more people would have invested in alternative markets, they would have been better prepared to weather the economic storm and would not have lost as much of their money as they did.

Outperform Traditional Markets

One of the best ways investing in alternative markets can help grow your portfolio is that these markets typically outperform conventional markets during bear markets.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things that you really need to think about before you even decide to put your money in a financial vehicle on the way to fiscal independence and early retirement is the risk tolerance that you are going to have. What does that mean? Well, simply put, you need to be absolutely comfortable with the amount of money that you are going to invest. That may sound easy enough but you are not going to believe how many people fall prey to the notion that they are going to have to put more money than they want into a prospect.

The concept seems simple enough: who dares wins.]]></description>

Where the Chinese simply saw this as somewhat of a scientific practice of collecting very old trees the Japanese saw something in its beauty and the ability of a craftsman to emulate a tiny version of a tree, scrub or vine. One such variety is Bonsai Ginseng, a fig plant native of Taiwan and now common in many households around the world as a bonsai plant.

In recent times bonsai has spread around the world and has picked up admirers from Tokyo to Melbourne, Osaka to New York.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE INESCAPABLE 2012 INVESTMENT CHALLENGE And Its Deserved Canadian Bias

Debt of unprecedented magnitude - the servicing of which is devouring unsustainable proportions of disposable income, personal wealth and overall economic output.

Debt so debilitating that three members of the 17-country Eurozone - Greece, Ireland and Portugal have already needed to be bailed out (Greece twice), while within the 27-strong European Union note worthies like Spain, Italy, France and even the United Kingdom have needed to be put on life support under painful austerity programs.

Neither should it be much different in a debt and deficit-riddled U.S.A. where "it's the economy, stupid" is once again the battle cry in a bruising presidential election campaign, that is already well up and running.

If there is some accompanying good in all of this it is that the developed world has at last awoken to a serious debt habit, the longer it lasts the harder it is going to be to shake.

A legacy of debt like no other is also why 2012 increasingly emerges as a pivotal year in which there is already no choice but to be "inescapably" invested.

Today's artificially-low central bank-managed interest rates and a quiescent (for now) but ever-present risk of returning inflation are two imperative reasons for switching the focus to equities rather than bonds.

Inevitably, the markets as opposed to the central bankers will begin calling the shots as to where interest rates should truly settle. It's already happening in Portugal, Spain, Italy and other EU countries and could well come sooner than currently thought in the U.S.

Remember, as well, that history shows few if any nations ever paying off their debts instead succumbing time and again to the temptation of inflating them away.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investment Performance of Niche Property Investments

Again, it is difficult to define the investment performance of the property sector as a whole within the context of this document, due to the wide variety of sub-sectors and regions which must be considered. In the UK for example, residential real estate has delivered markedly different performance for each Investor that has participated depending on their strategy (buy to let/distressed assets/development etc), and residential property as a whole has delivered a different performance to commercial property or student accommodation. The same can be said for every combination of sector, strategy and region, therefore the context of this document does not allow for a detailed analysis of the investment performance of the sector as a whole.

Residential - The UK market offers some interesting opportunities, as depressed prices combine with a lack of buyer financing to create a viable rental market that can deliver yields of between 4% and 8% after costs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investing in property, be it residential, commercial, agricultural, leisure, healthcare, student accommodation or some other niche property sector, is ostensibly the most popular and common form of alternative investment, and has been used as a low risk, long-term investment asset by many Investors. The main aim of the property investor is to capture income from rentals, and/or capital growth either through natural attrition or by adding capital value through development. Whatever the form or sector, property investments are solid, tangible and 'real' in that a property is unlikely to depreciate in the long term provided due care and consideration is given to due diligence in the acquisition stage.

Investment Strategy

The traditional form of property investment is the simple leveraged buy to let, where an Investor will acquire a property using a combination of cash and mortgage debt, and seek to cover the mortgage costs with rental income.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It wouldn't be overstating the country's historical importance to call Azerbaijan one of the very few cradles of human civilization in the world, and yet it remains a relatively unknown corner of Central Asia on the world stage.

The history of the nation is punctuated by ancient civilisations and a progressive nature that has seen Azerbaijan embrace and foster culture, the arts and democracy often more readily than many other states in the Muslim world. As the country re-establishes its prominence as a leading global oil and gas producer, so it has also seen a re-emergence and re-discovery of its rich cultural and artistic heritage. Azerbaijan's hosting of the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest is a showcase event of just how far the country has developed in recent years.

Rich in more than just culture and history, Azerbaijan's significant oil and gas reserves, as well as promising potential in the alternative energy sector such as wind, hydro and solar generated power are creating exciting investment opportunities to invest in Azerbaijan.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investment Options

Access to property investments is well-established, with a range of direct investment opportunities and collective investments available for both retail and institutional Investors alike. In the first instance we should look to the range of property sub-sectors available for consideration, and further investigate both direct and collective access points for the sector in general.

The main property sub-sectors that may be available for smaller investors are:


Residential
Commercial
Student Accommodation
Care Homes
Hotels
Leisure / Tourism
Development
Agricultural
Forestry


Within each sub-sector lies a range of possible entry points for Investors; broadly categorised as either direct investments or collective investments. Collective investments being either regulated or unregulated fund arrangements, where Investors capital is pooled so as to acquire a basket of assets, or participate in a project with a large capital requirement.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Going 'long' means you open a CFD position by buying it with the expectation that the price will go up and then selling it at a higher price, that's when you make the money.

Example of a 'long' CFD trade

STEP 1: To open a trade, you BUY300 BHP share CFDs at $28.00 with a 3% margin and $10 commission300 x $28.00 x 3% + $10 $8400 x 3% = $252$252 +10 = $262This means you will be required to have at least $262 in your trading account to open this BHP share CFD trade.

STEP 2: To close a trade, you SELLAfter you bought BHP share CFDs commodity prices jumped in the international market overnight. The following day the price of BHP shares are also expected to go higher and you want to close your BHP share CFD position.You sell 300 BHP share CFDs at $28.50 (for a 50 cents movement in each share CFD) - $10 commission300 x $28.50 = $8550

STEP 3: Checking your profit and lossYour profit and loss calculation will look like this:[(Sell price - Buy price) x number of share CFDs - commission][($28.50 - $28.00) x 300 - $20][.50 x 300 - $20]= $130 profit or 51.6% return for an initial outlay of $252 (margin required)

NB: This calculation does not include the financing charge which is calculated on a daily basis for as long as you hold your CFD position open. Financing charges may vary from one CFD provider to another.

Going 'short' means you open a CFD position by selling it with the expectation that the price will go down and then buying it at a lower price, giving you the profit even if the CFD price goes down.

Example of a 'short' CFD trade

STEP 1: To open a trade, you SELL300 BHP share CFDs at $28.00 with a 3% margin and $10 commission300 x $28.00 x 3% + $10 $8400 x 3% = $252$252 +10 = $262This means you will be required to have at least $262 in your trading account to open this BHP share CFD trade.

STEP 2: To close a trade, you BUYAfter you bought BHP share CFDs commodity prices dropped in the international market overnight.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Contract For Difference (CFD) is a derivative trading instrument that allows you to trade the price movements (when you enter and exit a trade), without owning the underlying instrument, in most cases shares or equities but also indices and forex.

CFD trading is almost the same as to full price share trading except that when you trade a CFD you don't own the actual share. If you trade a CFD on the Commonwealth Bank or BHP Billiton, you are trading the price difference between your entry point and your exit point. You don't own the Commonwealth Ban or BHP Billiton shares, you are only counting on their price moving up or down.

Share CFDs are the most common type of CFDs is however there are also other CFDs for Sectors, Indices and other financial instruments such as commodities and treasuries.]]></description>

These funds give the investor trading flexibility throughout the day, as well as, tax benefits, low prices and a well diversified portfolio. So, how do you make the most of this advantageous finance product?

Usually, it's only very large corporate investors that can actually do business with a fund manager, and when they do they must purchase large bundles of exchange traded fund shares that start at about $10,000 and goes up from there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) has recently released a new report on the danger of carbon leakage, a consequence of the increasing cost of carbon offsetting. Although the report focuses on the leakage issue from a Scandinavian point of view, this is a problem for all carbon offsetting schemes, and particularly the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) in which the Nordic countries participate. Commencement of the more stringent EU ETS Phase III is likely to increase the risk of carbon leakage since the prices of EU allowances are expected to rise as a result of the switch to auctioning rather than free allocation for the bulk of Phase III allowances.

The phenomenon of carbon leaks appears when an emission reduction policy is being applied as is the case with the EU.]]></description>

The Carbon Market is set to grow faster than any commodity ever seen before. The introduction of the Carbon Tax means that the top 500 emitters now have to offset their carbon emissions by purchasing carbon credits, one metric tonne of 'clean air' for every metric tonne of pollution they create. As you can imagine the amount of carbon emitted by 500 companies named as the 'top 500 polluters in Australia' is vast indeed.]]></description>

Most dark pool trades are done on anonymous block trades separate from the rest of the market and away from the public. As such, dark pool trading has a lesser impact on the market because the release of trade details is not required until after the trade is complete.

When it comes to understanding and utilizing dark pool trade systems, information is important.]]></description>

Rentals have for the past few years been going up quite steadily and as a result the property market has turned out to be one of the safest and profitable areas in the African continent. Property is getting good returns so much that unit trusts that are composed of almost entirely property investments have turned out to be the best performing ones.

Rentals have been steadily going up and the value of buildings have been going up as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The $32 billion Harvard University Endowment Fund, which generated a return of 21.4% in the fiscal year 2011, has 23% of its investments held in real-assets, which according the CEO of Harvard Management Company; Jane Mendillo, has been a significant contributor to the fund outperforming its benchmark over the last decade by 270 basis points per year, adding roughly $15 billion of value versus what would have been earned by a more traditional portfolio. The University of Notre Dame also holds a significant proportion of its portfolio in real-assets (17.5%), and delivered a return of 21.5% in 2011. The Yale University Endowment Fund delivered a return of 21.9% in 2011, and holds 29% of its portfolio in real-assets, including real estate and natural resources.

This article seeks to review the investment performance of a range of real-assets, compare that performance to the performance of UK equities, and establish the effect of real-assets on the performance of investment portfolios.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article addresses some of the risks associated with real-asset investment alternatives in general.

As with any potential transaction, all investments carry risk, and in the case of alternatives those risks are often very specific to the asset class, here we address some of the general risks associated with moveable and immoveable properties considered as alternative investments. This risk-set can be broadly defined and categorised as:

Sector Risk
Location Risk
Asset Specific Risk
Counterparty Risk

Sector Specific Risk

As is the case with traditional financial investments, hard-assets carry risks specific to their sector. For example, in the case of agricultural land, Investors must be aware that a variety of exogenous variables can affect the investment performance of the property.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article focuses primarily on real-asset investments, and this section is designed to highlight some of portfolio planning characteristics of physical assets when considered as part of a well-diversified and balanced portfolio of investments, as well as some of the inherent risks to be considered when allocating investment capital to specific, niche investment sectors or projects.

Whilst real or hard-assets offer a number of significant benefits including reduced volatility, tangible asset values and the potential for superior investment performance that is not reliant on the performance of traditional financial investments, potential investors must give equal consideration to the potential for relative illiquidity, operational or management risks specific to the asset class, and of course counterparty risk exposure when investing in assets that require on-going expert management in order to maximise returns and minimise downside potential.

Portfolio Planning Advantages

Every asset class exhibits different characteristics when considered from the point of view of an Investor or Financial Planner, and Investors invariable choose to invest in specific assets in order to achieve specific goals such as risk mitigation, portfolio insurance, superior returns and a hedge against inflation or some other potential economic impact on the value and performance of their portfolio.

Here we look at some of the broad portfolio planning characteristics associated with a range of physical assets considered as alternative investments.

Capital Values

By their very nature, physical assets retain a disposal value throughout most economic circumstances, and whilst asset values will fluctuate from time to time, Investors allocate capital to hard-assets in order to underwrite the value of their portfolio and insure against the possibility of the values of listed financial assets falling sharply at any given moment. In fact, certain assets such as gold hold a 'safe-haven' appeal, often rising in value when stock markets falls as Investors sell equities and buy gold.

Non-Correlated Returns

The fundamentals that support value growth and income associated with real-assets are often far removed from the fundamentals that support traditional investments. Often, alternatives share a direct negative correlation with the performance of equities and bonds, affording investors the opportunity to balance their portfolios and make gains when other portfolio components lose value or underperform.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Genuine alternatives to financial investments are considered to be 'real' or 'hard-asset' investments. Immoveable property such as real estate, farmland and timber properties are considered to be viable alternatives to financial assets, and moveable property like gold bullion, fine wine and rare stamps are also considered to be genuine alternative investment assets.

The case for real-asset investing is compelling; those with sufficient expertise in order to identify good quality assets in high demand can generate substantial financial gains as the inherent value of their assets grows over time. But in almost all cases, specific expertise is required in order to identify, properly value, and measure the risk associated with niche assets like timber properties or fine wine, and a lack of credible asset analysis, along with a non-existent regulatory framework have made this area of investing very high risk for most investors, many of whom have been subject to mis-selling, misrepresentation, poor advice or outright fraud.

Investors acquire certain assets as they are unlikely to depreciate over time, and when demand for the asset or its produce increases so too does the inherent value of the asset itself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alternative Investing has become a trend in recent years. The traditional market cannot compete with the returns available, which is why investors turn to alternative projects to make their money work harder for them.

A quick look at the investments available on the traditional market shows that the only way in which investors are making returns is to enter into high risk projects over a long period of time. The returns being seen are also reasonably meagre.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is now a widely held belief that investing in stocks and other financial instruments in the traditional manner generates an investment return that is driven more by the latest piece of political rhetoric, or the most recent announcement of sovereign debt risk or unemployment figures from some far flung corner of the world, than by underlying company fundamentals like good management and a strong balance sheet. Aside from this inherent volatility, many investors also feel over-exposed to financial markets, especially those coming close to retirement that may have little time left to regain catastrophic losses in any one holding.

This shift in mind-set amongst investors has driven a huge growth in alternative investment management, with most financial institutions now offering investments that are organised and managed in such a way as to attempt to avoid volatility, or generate a return when markets fall, or some other such strategy.

Short OnlyShort only funds bet on particular stocks losing value. Investors might buy into a short only fund if they felt particularly bearish (pessimistic) about the short term future of financial markets in general, and some may allocate capital to this strategy as a hedge against the impact of a general downturn.

Ultra-Short Bond FundsThis a type of investment fund that invests fixed-income bonds with very short-term maturities.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the past five years, the global economic meltdown has spurred a spate of reorganizations of the investment portfolios of major institutional investors, many of which are now allocating more capital to real-asset alternative investments in an effort to reduce exposure to volatile financial markets, generate superior investment returns, and underwrite the value of their portfolios with the capital value of niche, income-generating property assets including forestry investments and farmland investment properties that are unlikely to depreciate in the long term.

The logic is sensible, and the likes of Yale University Endowment and their Harvard counterparts have all entered into long-term farmland and forestry investments as part of an overall refocusing of their investment strategy. Historically, land, gold and gems of varying types have been the only store of wealth, it is only since the introduction of fiat currencies that investors have sought to build cash gains, rather than aiming to build a sizable portfolio of land, property or other physical assets. Now, many smaller investors are taking heed of the big boys' new strategy, and investigating the potential benefits and risks associated with investing in commercial timber properties and agricultural land assets.

Both of these assets classes exhibit characteristics that hold particular appeal during times of economic turmoil.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ask any experienced investor over the age of 50 what type of real-asset they wish they'd invested in when they were young, and the vast majority will most likely give one or more of two answers; gold and/or real-estate, and those who pay more of an interest in such matters might even whittle their selection down to niche agricultural real estate including farmland and timberlands. Why so then would anyone with 30 years of investing experience behind them, having seen rise and fall of many fads, bubbles, booms and busts, consider physical, tangible and useful assets in precisely the same light as the wealthy of centuries gone by, when value was literally only stored in land and precious items like gold and jewels?

OK, so put aside for a second that the recorded investment performance of farmland and forestry investments has outperformed the vast majority of traditional assets like equities for decades, it is now becoming ever-more apparent that the sensible investor, especially those who have been party to the consistent volatility in financial markets over the years, is choosing to acquire assets that retain a use and essential function, and where demand is growing and availability of suitable resources falling. These assets will always be in pretty high demand, as growing populations shift to a higher protein, more resource-intensive diet, and general population growth requires increased output of agricultural commodities for food and biofuel markets.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Traditionally, investors have held a slim range of investment assets within their portfolios which have consisted primarily of stocks, bonds and cash, some more adventurous investors have even held physical gold and property. Now private investors are following the march of pension funds and university endowments; investing in a range of real asset alternative investments including niche real estate like commercial timber properties and agricultural land, in the hope that increasing demand for resources from emerging economies will drive both revenue from the sale of essential commodities (timber, food, biomass), and capital growth as suitable, productive assets become more scarce. Other investors, especially the wealthy, have also been investing in more esoteric alternatives like fine wine, rare stamps and a host of other tangible properties where demand will hopefully outstrip supply and generate growth.

There is of course a logical reasoning behind the allocating of capital to real assets investment alternatives; not least the fact that recent economic turmoil on a global scale hit portfolio values hard, and many investors coming to the end of their investing life feel that they may not have sufficient time to recoup losses, especially whilst markets remain so volatile and supported by central government policies like quantitative easing.]]></description>

Those were the assets on which kings built kingdoms, and as essential, non-perishable assets, ownership of large amounts of any of these things resulted in wealth and power. It is only since the recent (in historical terms) introduction of fiat currencies and financial markets that investors seek to build up piles of 'currency' instead.

Spurred by the recent global financial meltdown, most, if not all investors, hold less faith than ever before in entrusting their future to financial markets, with many having recently witnessed life savings and pension values collapse as the markets once again crashed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you think of investment risk, what comes to mind? Is it the recent volatility of the stock markets - up one minute, down the next? How about speculative investment derivatives, such as options or futures contracts, used to bring down Barings Bank in 1995, or the more recent occurrence in September 2011 when the Swiss Bank UBS lost over $2 billion (yes, that's billion with a "B"!). And who hasn't heard of Bernie Madoff and his Ponzi scheme, considered to be the largest financial fraud in US history. Makes one want to hide their money in their mattress and forget about it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a great range of alternative investment assets to consider for those amongst us seeking to reduce their exposure to stock, bonds and cash, including a host of 'real' or 'hard' assets. For the investor seeking long-term gains in a stable, low-risk environment, tangible assets in short supply and high demand offer some exciting opportunities to hedge inflation, and capture capital growth driven by increasing demand from a growing global population and economic expansion in developing economies.

Gold bullion and coins such as sovereigns are perhaps the most common form of alternative investment held in an average portfolio. Gold has long been viewed by investors as portfolio insurance, sharing a negative correlation with the performance of equity markets.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the face of continued economic uncertainty, and volatility in mainstream investment assets, many investors are looking further afield than stocks, bonds and cash in order to generate much needed income and growth. One only has to conduct a brief search on the internet to find a whole range of investment alternatives, from portfolios of fine wine, to the more traditional gold bullion and property. So where does the inexperienced investor, or indeed financial advisor, start when considering the prospect of adding alternative investment assets to a diversified portfolio?

Well, the first thing to consider in my opinion is the status of the investor him/herself.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a number of reasons that seasoned investors chose to invest in alternative assets; mainly of course to diversify in to assets where investment performance is not driven by the performance of financial markets in general; but also in order to capture capital gains and income to replace ailing and volatile equities.

The appeal of real assets like farmland, timberlands, real estate and other, more esoteric assets like fine wine and collectibles, lies in the fact that these assets are all tangible properties, that are likely to retain the majority of their value, and continue to generate income, regardless of whether stock are up or down. The general consensus is that an investment portfolio consisting entirely of stock, bonds and cash is grossly over-exposed to the day to day vagaries of 'the markets'.

Choosing a good stock has become less about the basic underlying fundamentals of the company, and more about market sentiment related to the sector or markets as a whole, and it is this investing environment that pushes investors to seek returns elsewhere, whilst underwriting the value of a portion of their portfolio with capital assets like land or property.

Another good reason that interest in investment alternatives seems to be peaking, is the poor annuity rates offered to new pensioners by insurance companies. In every case, new pensioners are being forced to fix their incomes at a much lower rate than they had previously been able to do, causing many to readdress their future lifestyle choices and standard of living.]]></description>

When you consider investing there are many different things that you need to learn about and decide on before you decide where you would invest. First and perhaps most importantly you need to invest only the amount of money that you can lose without financial hardship.

Next you would need to find out where you would get the best return for the amount that you are investing and that you are dealing with legal companies.

The stock market is a place to invest if you know enough about trends and the companies which have stock for sale.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people who are ready to invest money are inclined to start small and then, when positive returns begin to appear, increase their investment a little at a time. A conservative investor would not invest more than they can afford to lose. This means that if the investment were totally lost the investor and his/her family would suffer no financial hardship.

Some banks have special accounts that pay more interest than regular accounts but are not as accessible to you.]]></description>

In financial jargon, the bond holders have taken a haircut, which means they have accepted the fact they will not receive back all their capital at maturity of the bond.

The figures announced this morning show that the potential write down of debt is up to 74%. What this means is that if you had lent (or invested) 100 pounds, you will receive back 24 pounds.]]></description>

Currently, carbon credit is trading at 9 Euros as per benchmark EUA contracts, and according to analyst Lawson Steele, the price is set to reach a high by the End of the year.

EU politicians backed the proposal to provide an unspecified number of permits from 2013 and this will create the way for the EU to take part in the market, which will reduce the price - mainly caused by oversupply. The change in carbon price will be at least more than 5 Euros.]]></description>

The problem with pursuing high investment returns, is that the capital value of investments may decrease in the short term before they increase again. The problem with conservative low-return investments is that the real value of capital may over time decrease due to inflation.

The art of investing lies in finding the approach that suits you personally best.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The value investor adheres to the principle of buying only undervalued stocks - undervalued in the sense that the stock's current price fails to reflect (as far as the investor is concerned) its 'fair' market price or its true 'intrinsic worth'. Famous advocates of the value investing philosophy include the legendary and very much alive investor Warren Buffet, and the late Benjamin Graham - one of the first proponents of value investing, a subject he taught as a professor at the Columbia Business School in 1928.

The overriding reason why value investors seek out undervalued stocks is because value stocks tend to offer a higher degree of capital preservation than growth stocks. Value investors are not so much concerned with how much they might make out of an investment, but how much of their capital they could lose - i.e.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investing in stocks and commodities can be a wise idea to grow your portfolio over the course of time, however there can be tumultuous times that can have your portfolio decline dramatically as in the case of the financial collapse of 2008. Those times are over and the S&#38;P is right near its old highs and the Nasdaq composite is at 11 year highs and the commodity markets have rallied tremendously in the last couple of years. The main rule here is to stick it out even through the rough times and remember this is long term investing and should be treated in that fashion.

One main concern with investors in America is the fact that the dollar continues its bearish trend and continues to decline over time due to government printing money and several stimulus packages which have not worked and has ballooned the debt to over $15 trillion dollars which is at an all-time high.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to money, there are basically three kinds of people: those who dump their money into depreciating liabilities, those who sit on their money, and those who invest into appreciating assets. No doubt there is some crossover between them, but essentially all people can be classified by their activities into one of these three groups.

The first group of people spend much of their income on things that lose value over time. Examples include most cars, recreational vehicles, toys, consumables, and entertainment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During my 22-year trading career in Stocks, Futures and Commodities, I have come across many methods and techniques. Most at first glance appear intriguing, but soon expose it becomes evident that all those pretty lines do nothing more than decorate your screen and put a drain on your trading account.

Fortunately, when you have been at it as long as I have, you are bound to come across a few good ideas that actually translate into profits.

In this article, I am going to share with you one simple technique that I have found to be value for the purpose of deciding whether to be bullish or bearish (or neither) most freely traded markets. This simple method is not meant to be used alone, but in conjunction with a timing method for actual entry.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Eco Business has reported the recent announcement of Japanese government plans to introduce certain legislative changes making it easier for abandoned farmland to be consolidated for use in renewable energy projects. The approach of the Japanese government toward abandoned agricultural land will create new opportunities for ethical investments in the country and it will be interesting to observe whether the initiative will be adopted elsewhere.

The problem of abandoned farmland exists in many countries for a range of different reasons. For example, agricultural land could have been abandoned on the basis of soil erosion or productivity loss, often the result of over-exploitation and unsustainable agricultural management.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people consider investing money in stocks or trust deeds but are unsure of how to go about it. Previously investing in stocks, bonds and mutual funds seemed a safe gamble for most to make with their hard earned money since it leads to increased net worth over time which gives them more future security and a safe retirement plan

With the economic downturn that the United States and the entire world are currently experiencing, many individuals find themselves in a place where their retirement is now in question. The previous ability to work for a company and then retire has seemingly burst under the housing and real estate collapse, with many people finding themselves without their safety net of employment security or even without their homes.

Because of this, most average individuals believe that the idea of investing is too far out of reach, a distant dream that is now a sign of times past where rewards were given to those that worked the hardest and the longest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are investment funds that aim to track the performance (value or price) of an index, a particular commodity or a group of commodities, or other financial products. For example, by buying shares of the DBS Singapore STI ETF you are effectively investing in the 30 stocks (ie, Singapore Telecommunications, Wilmar International, DBS Group, etc) that are tracked by the STI (Straits Times Index).

Like other funds (Unit Trusts, Mutual Funds, etc), ETFs invest in a portfolio of stocks, thus providing you, as the investor, access to a wide range of markets, sectors and asset classes. Unlike unit trusts, however, ETFs are listed on stock exchanges and are subject to brokerage commissions, just like shares on stock exchanges.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For anyone with even a passing interest in stock markets and trading the name Ralph Nelson Elliott is usually a very familiar one. An accountant working at the turn of the last century Elliott's theory, known as the Elliott Wave Theory, proposed that stock market trends and patterns were, to a certain degree, all very much the same.

If you take one stock market chart for something like oil, and you remove all information relating to any timeframe or values, and you place this next to a trading chart for something completely different, what you will notice is that they share significant similarities.

The reason for this, so Elliott Wave Theory suggests, is that stock markets are heavily controlled by human psychology, and human psychology is fairly predictable. For example, if you tell someone not to think of a pink elephant they'll be unable to do anything but picture such a thing, and if you offer to show someone your holiday photos they'll suddenly recall an urgent appointment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An article was recently published by Reuters entitled: "The New American Dream is Renting to Get Rich." The thesis of this article is that home ownership is not the fast-track to wealth that it used to be. It also makes the point that many people would be better off renting and investing their surplus income in wealth-building investments than by sinking all of their income into owning a home. The article also went on to explain how many people who had purchased homes during the boom lacked the financial resources to pay for building wealth through other investments, and became solely dependent on their home equity for their net worth.

This serves as an excellent backdrop for a deeper discussion on what wealth really is, and what wealth building is really about.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the current economic climate, defined in part by low interest rates and high inflation, those approaching retirement age are being forced to reconsider their financial position, and seek alternatives to traditional investment investments.

In the past 20 years, annuity rates for UK pensioners have halved as life expectancy has increased whilst the yield on traditional fixed income investments made by pension funds has declined. A pension pot worth Â£100,000 would have been able to secure a pension income of Â£16,500 every year for life. Today, the same size pot will secure an income of only Â£6,500 a year.

As concerns of future income and cost of living grow, many are choosing to take a tax free lump sum, and invest in alternative assets that generate income which is not reliant on the performance of financial markets or interest rates.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investors are increasingly forced to choose from a proliferation of investment options. They also have to deal with contradictory advice on how to achieve their financial goals and how to invest the savings they have accumulated during their lifetime. If you consider that there are more than 7 000 mutual funds available in the United States alone, and thousands of insurance products worldwide, making the choice that will satisfy them ever after is daunting, to say the least.

No wonder people so often ask the rather general question: Which investment is best? The first part of the answer is easy: No single investment is 'the best' under all circumstances for all investors.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The demand for silver continues to rise as new uses for it has been found over the years. In 1997, silver had a value of not more than $5 and it has increased six times in the last 14 years. As traders and investors came to understand the price increase of the commodity, they went into efforts on developing good silver trading strategies to enhance success when dealing with this precious metal.

Sufficient knowledge and understanding on this type of trade can produce benefits, and before you start developing silver trading strategies you must first consider three important things.

		<description><![CDATA[According to the reports by the panel of expert analysts at the London Bullion Market Association, the prices on silver will not rise up to a remarkable extend as expected the same in April 2012. However, gold will display its flares in 2012 because of ongoing precious metals price prediction competition. As statistics from the competition on the prices, gold appears to touch elation unlike its counterpart the white metal.

From the analysts' forecasts, it is clear that the average silver price in 2012 was US$33.98, but it shored up to a height of $44.49 that was a consecutive predication representing a substantial 39% increase.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Should you hold Alternative Investments in your portfolio?

So you've decided to reduce your exposure to equities in order to avoid the price volatility that seems to be driven by the latest piece of political rhetoric about national debt or economic growth. You're no longer seeing the value of your investments rise and fall by considerable margins on a daily basis, and you're sitting on a nice pile of 'safe' cash. But you probably also need to find a home for your capital where it will grow at least in line with inflation, hopefully generate some income, whilst sharing little correlation with the performance of equities, bonds and other traded financial instruments.

So now is the time you start to consider alternative investments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the current investing climate many investors are seeking out alternatives to traditional investment assets in an effort to boost poor returns and bolster the limp performance of their pension portfolios. While stocks and shares continue to display the kind of up-and-down volatility that would make a rollercoaster jealous, real-assets including fine wine, stamps, land and forestry have all continued to grow in values as rising global incomes combine with a growing global population to boost demand against a backdrop of limited supply.

Whenever supplies of an asset are limited and demand increases, we see the value increase as buyers compete for the best assets, so those investors in control of finite resources are likely to continue to capture capital growth regardless of the performance of the wider economy.

Whilst in is certainly true that some alternative investment assets rely on the existence of wealth for their end-use market; for example stamps and fine wine rely on the existence of wealthy buyers, it is also true that certain essential assets will enjoy a demand even if the global economy were to collapse tomorrow. These safe haven alternative investments include agricultural land, energy-generating assets, infrastructure and commodity driven properties such as forestry investments.

There is a limited global stock of land suitable for agricultural production and demand for food commodities and feedstock for animal feed and biofuels in growing exponentially as developing nations expend their populace and rising incomes lead to greater consumption of commodities.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whilst forestry investments are seen by many institutional and private investors as a potential safe haven from the volatility associated with traditional asset s like equities, at the same time there are a number of variables linked to the general economy that do have a significant bearing on the performance of the asset class.

For the most part, current market demand for timber in any given location is the biggest influence over timber prices. As with any commodity, when stocks of the product are high and demand is suppressed then prices fall as assets are sold off at knockdown prices to create revenue. Likewise, when supplies are limited and demand is high, then we see the opposite happen; commodity prices rise as buyers compete for the best quality and indeed quantity.

In fact, it is worth touching on the cyclical nature of any commodity market, but especially soft-commodities.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Landlords' frustrations against agencies

Having come across various articles, forums and comments I feel it is absolutely necessary to address several issues that have been aimed against letting agencies by various landlords over the years. I completely understand the frustration and stress that some landlords must have gone through while dealing with a letting agency, although that should not be the reason not to trust every other agency and not considering an option of having your property managed by an agency again.

Being a landlord is not as easy as some may think, especially if you are only starting to build your portfolio and are still in a process of learning the legal aspects of renting the property. At the same time you want your property to be occupied by serious, respectable and fair tenants.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Agricultural Productivity and Commodity Prices

This article covering the effect of commodity prices on agriculture investments has been produced for the purpose of providing quality reference material for the prospective Investor considering the sector, specifically for the Investor wishing to better understand to relationship and influence of commodity prices and agricultural productivity in agriculture investments.

Investors are attracted to the agriculture sector for a number of reasons; not least the undeniable fundamental trends of growing demand and contracting supply likely to drive higher asset prices and revenues in the future. Farm revenues at the very basic level are a combination of agricultural yield multiplied by commodity prices, so to better understand the performance of this asset class, we should look at commodity prices and productivity in a historical context in an effort to ascertain whether higher prices are here to stay, or part of a longer term price cycle.

At present, humankind utilises approximately 50 per cent of accessible, productive land for agriculture. Put another way, half of the Earth's surface that is not desert, water, ice or some other such unusable space such as urbanised areas is used to grow crops.

With current emphasis firmly upon increasing productivity to meet current and future demand for food, feed and fuel from an expanding, wealthier global population, the fact that we only use half of the usable global stock of farmland indicates that we should be able to simply bring more land under agricultural cultivation through the application of well-placed infrastructure and technology investments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As stock markets and bond markets continue to display the sort of volatility that causes Investors to break out into a cold sweat, many are starting to investigate real-asset alternatives to traditional financial assets in an effort to identify opportunities to capture growth and income that is not wholly reliant on the performance of financial markets or the general economy.

There is certainly an increasing appetite for real-asset alternative investments, from fine wine and art, through to land and collectibles, yet a lack of credible performance data and regulation leave many at a loss as to where might be a suitable home for their hard-earned savings in the alternative investment space.

Whilst assets like fine wine and art rely almost entirely on the wealthy as an end market, growing economies in developing nations are creating a super-size middle class which is consuming more resources and consumables such as food, fuel, cars and energy at an astonishing rate, creating a huge spike in demand that shows no sign of abating, creating investable opportunities for savvy Investors able to identify those areas where demand is strong and fundamental limits in the supply chain create short, mid and,long-term value growth for those in control of such assets.

Here are a few examples of real-asset alternative investments that have displayed some extremely desirable characteristics such as capital preservation and a hedge against inflation throughout the last four years of economic turmoil.

Renewable Energy Investments

As populations continue to expand, natural energy resources continue to diminish, international legislation combined with government incentives create profitable opportunities for those in control of energy-producing assets that do not depend on the input of natural resources and therefore generate energy - which can be sold at a profit - during any economic climate.

In the UK, government backed feed in tariffs (FiT) creates opportunity as energy companies must purchase any electricity you generate and feed into the grid. So those in control of solar panels, wind turbines and other energy-producing assets capture market-beating income of between 10% and 20% per annum for up to 25 years. No income-generating financial assets share dividends or bonds can do that.

Forestry Investments

Timber, when considered as an alternative investment asset class is quite unique, not only does the price of timber rise over time - usually at or above the rate of inflation, at the same time trees continue to grow into larger assets with more timer to sell per tree.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I shot off an email to the staff at Stansberry Radio to thank them for their new series of podcasts. And that email got me to thinking about how I feel with regards to folks like Porter, Peter Schiff, Jim Sinclair, Eric Sprott, Mike Maloney, Rick Rule, Gerald Celente and James Turk.

It got me thinking about how I would NEVER be able to sit one on one with any of them and ask questions. I'm not about to be invited to dinner or brought into a conference call or sent an email looking for my advice.

And whether you agree with them or not isn't the issue.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The CAPM is a model used to determine an investor's "expected return," or how much percentage profit that a company investor should logically demand as a "fair" return for investing in a company.

To find this, another question may be asked: How much is the logical "fair" percentage return that an investor should get if he invests in an individual company (with relatively high risk) instead of putting his money in government bonds which are assumed to be "risk free" and instead of putting his money in the general stock market assumed to have "medium" risk?

Obviously, it's only "fair" that that the investor gets a return of higher than the government bond rate (because the individual company has higher risk). It's also only fair that he should expect a return higher than the general stock market return, because the individual company has higher risk than the "medium risk" general stock market. So again, how much exactly should this investor fairly earn as a minimum expected return?

This is where the CAPM or Capital Asset Pricing Model comes in.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The purpose of a growth investment is to grow your capital over a period of time, allowing you to take away a larger pot of money than you started with. However, it's not always as simple as that and there will be an element of risk to your funds, but investing for growth can prove to be a very satisfying way to make your money work harder.

A quick word on risk:

Generally speaking the higher the level of risk involved in your chosen investment the higher the rate of interest you are likely to see. Some investments will be more risky than others and you should think carefully about the level of risk you can afford to take before you start investing.

Five Steps:

1) Choose wisely.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most popular type of investments that people make are in collective investment schemes. This makes a lot of sense as it reduces risk for the investor.

Collective investments are funds where the monies of a large number of investors are pooled together under professional investment management. The investment manager then acts collectively on their behalf.

The most popular collectives are unit trusts, investment trusts and Open Ended Investment Companies (OEICs).]]></description>

If any more structures went up, he warned the city, the island would sink into the Hudson River.

To head off this expected calamity, Lozier suggested to the city's mayor that a chunk of Manhattan's northern end be hacked off, towed down the Hudson, and then attached to the southern tip. This, Lozier explained, would redistribute the island's weight and ensure no further sinking.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Understanding investment

Investment can seem like an attractive option for increasing return on your capital, especially when interest rates on savings accounts are so low.

Whether you are looking to invest yourself, or for someone to invest your cash on your behalf, there are several factors you should consider before you begin.

How much can you afford to invest? 

It is important to recognise that when you begin investing your money you will introduce an element of risk to your capital. Generally the higher the potential for return the higher the risk to your capital, so don't be sucked in by high rates but consider carefully how the investment would sit with your attitude to risk.

Before you start investing you should ensure that you finances are in order and that you are not investing with money that you can afford to risk losing. For example, will you be able to pay all your debts easily? Do you have a buffer of savings to fall back on? Many experts recommend that you have the equivalent of at least three months wages to fall back on in case of hard times.

Why are you investing?

Before deciding on the right investment option for you, you should have some sort of financial goal in mind.]]></description>

The index provides investors with a measure of the investment performance of a large pool of individual agricultural properties acquired in the private market for investment purposes. According to the index, US farmland returned 8.6% in 2010, and 5.85% to quarter 3 in 2011.

At the same time, incomes in developing economies are rising, causing a shift toward a more expensive and more resource intensive westernised diet based on meat. Considering that 1kg of meat requires the input of 7kg of grain as animal feed, this combination of more people and higher consumption per capita adds tremendous strain to already stretched agricultural productivity.

		<description><![CDATA[Investors seeking income can no longer rely on share dividends, and saving deposit accounts often generate a negative return when adjusted for inflation. Whilst this scenario looks set to continue for the foreseeable future, we must look elsewhere for our annual pay-outs.

Agriculture Investments

At the most basic level, agriculture investments based on the acquisition of agricultural property assets generate income, either from leased payments from tenant farmers, or shared revenue from harvests when farmed as part of a contract farming agreements (CFA).

There are a number of options for investors to consider, allowing smaller investors to take a direct stake in productive farmland and benefitting from a share of the annual income as well as potential capital growth as land values rise over time.

Such options exist in Latin America, Australia and Africa, and investors should be encouraged to seek independent advice as to the suitability of any such scheme to ensure suitability for the investors specific circumstances and attitude to risk.

Renewable Energy Investments

As the global population grows demanding more energy, and natural resources such as coal oil and gas continue to diminish, the world turns to renewable sources capable of supply energy in perpetuity without causing damage to the environment and delicate global ecosystem.

Around the world, governments incentivise investment in renewable energy technologies such as wind, solar, tidal, geo thermal, waste to energy and anaerobic digestion through feed-in-tariffs, where each unit of energy fed into the national grid is paid for at a set rate which is invariably linked to inflation.

This present those looking for income capture annual revenue that shares no correlation with traditional income investment assets or financial market fundamentals. Investors may choose to establish solar panels or wind turbines, collecting feed in tariffs from energy generated.]]></description>

This is a part of an annual review required by the Dodd-Frank law, with the intention of determining whether or not any of the big banks are vulnerable to collapse.

Clearly, the last thing the Fed wants is to be blindsided like they were when Lehman Brothers went under and when they were forced to institute TARP. In fact, some think that the collapse of another major financial entity would be disastrous, and would be enough to tip the economy into a full-blown recession.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The investment performance of the agriculture sector can be monitored via a number of devices and measures that track the performance of traditional investment assets such as quoted equities, as well as a range of measures that reflect price movements in alternative investment assets within the agriculture space such as farmland.

In reality, the agriculture sector as a whole relies on a combination of demand for its products, weighed against agricultural productivity. When demand for food, livestock feed and biofuels is high then soft-commodity prices rise, as is also the case when poor productivity creates the same widening of the gap between supply and demand. On the other hand, if demand falls back, or bumper harvests create an oversupply of produce, prices fall.

If one is able to gain an understanding of current productivity and demand dynamics, then one is best able to predict the true performance of the sector as a whole.

The performance of agricultural equities alone - as measured by agricultural indices - does not truly reflect the state of fundamentals that support the sector.]]></description>

And while it may be true that the S&#038;P 500 is up 77 percent from the lows of March 2009-especially good for big-time stock market gamblers-median household incomes are falling at faster rates during this so-called "recovery period," than they were during the actual recession years. As you can see from the chart below since the beginning of 2009 the median income has dropped sharply while unemployment rises significantly.

In the meantime, the National Association of Realtors (NRA), in addition to providing evidence of continued decline in home sales, also reported a record-high affordability index, which when taken together simply do not add up.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the current global climate, defined by low interest rates; high inflation; volatile investment markets; and poor short term visibility, investors are seeking out alternative investments that generate growth and income that does not depend on traditional market performance.

As such, much attention has been focussed on timber investments as a tool to preserve capital, hedge inflation and generate superior income in a low-risk environment.

Institutional Investors such as pension funds, university endowments and hedge funds have long known the benefits of investing in timber assets, with many such as the Yale University Endowment Fund holding 28 per cent of their investment portfolio in real-asset alternative investments including tropical forestry investments and farmland.

Timber investments are seen as generating non-correlative investment returns due to the fact that the majority of revenues is sourced from the biological growth of the tree, with only a small percentage of return attributed to timber price growth or land value appreciation. One credible university study found that over 60 per cent of returns from forestry investments can be attributed to the 'biological hedge'.

Demand for timber products remains strong, and rises roughly in line with population expansion, a factor compounded by economic expansion in developing nations leading to a n increase in consumption of timber products per capita as new homes and other infrastructure in developed.

Currently, around 30 per cent of global timber supplies are sourced from illegal logging, and a further 40 per cent form unsustainable sources. The future demand dynamics then indicates that timber investments are likely to continue to outperform other assets such as equities, as they have for the past 30 years.

Taking a very broad view, forestry investment returns can be enhanced and potential downside risk substantially reduced through the application of strategic species and location selection, combined with experienced forestry management to create a sustainable and profitable investment model.

Broadly speaking, the faster a tree grows into commercially viable timber, the greater the return on investment, so selecting fast-growing tropical timber species is the first step in consolidating profitable forestry investments.]]></description>
