		<description><![CDATA[What about gold as an investment?

Many people think about buying gold by the ounce, which is out of reach for a lot of people in today's market. But what about buying gold by the gram?

A gram is about 1/31 of an ounce and is a lot more affordable for many people.

A company has been delving into this idea and is currently beginning to go worldwide with this concept.

Gold is place in small one gram gold bars on a small credit card size card. It can be taken to a jeweler and verified that...yes...this is real gold.

Not only is it real gold, but it is.999 pure gold, 24K gold, trans-actionable gold.

Currencies are currently losing their value around the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most common questions I get from the participants in my monthly tax and wealth coaching teleconferences is, "Is XYZ a good investment?"

XYZ may be storage units, gold, international funds, mobile homes, businesses, commercial real estate, you name it.

The answer I give to each participant is the same. It depends.

It depends on your personal wealth strategy.

The Magic of a Wealth Strategy

The magic of creating a personal wealth strategy is that you can answer all of your own investment questions simply by referring to your strategy.

When developing a wealth strategy, there are several key questions to answer so you can answer the question, "Is XYZ a good investment?" I'll share 2 of these questions right now.

Question #1:

What are your personal preferences?

Different types of assets have different types of characteristics. A successful wealth strategy is able to match the characteristics of a particular asset to your personal preferences.

Is your preference High, Medium or Low when it comes to certain investment characteristics? Here are a few personal preferences to consider:

Rate of returnCash flowInteraction with other peopleTax advantages

Once you have identified your personal preferences, you can begin to navigate through the specific type of asset to focus on.

For example, if you have a high preference to interact with others, then you can weed out assets that do not have this characteristic.]]></description>

Managing the 10 most prevalent investment risks:

Time Horizon - the amount of time you can spare to have your money tied up in an investment.

Do you need a broker, a financial planner, or an investment advisor? While these titles are often used interchangeably, the services provided by each of these professionals are often quite different. Brokers' help investors buy and sell securities.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you on the lookout for rewarding areas of the stock market to invest your capital into? If you are searching for the most profitable portions of the marketplace, look into IPO investments.

To be successful in investing money, you must understand the psychology of investing. One aspect of this is to understand the negative personality traits that investors have - these traits prevent investors from succeeding in their investments.

		<description><![CDATA[Under ordinary circumstances, I probably wouldn't be devoting much time to the subject of numismatic coins, because it's a very small part of gold collecting. But the main reason that I want to broach this subject is because thousands of people in various parts of the world have bought or inherited collectible coins.

This was brought home to bear when I was talking to one of my friends about the advantages of buying gold and she told me she had a very large collection of gold coins that go way back into the early 1800's. They have been handed down from generation to generation in her family - and I said to her, are you going to be selling it? And she said - oh no - I'm going to be leaving it for my grandchildren.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too often, index fund proponents get bogged down in intellectual discussions about market theory and statistical relationships. You probably aren't interested in a debate about the efficiency of our financial markets; you just want to know which investments will give you the greatest chance of a lengthy, enjoyable retirement. This article describes three simple and practical reasons why you can't afford to ignore index funds.

Reason #1: Performance

Index funds consistently outperform the vast majority of actively-managed mutual funds. According to data compiled by the Bogle Financial Markets Research Center, two-thirds of actively-managed mutual funds fail to beat the relevant index in a typical year and over 80% fail to beat the index over a typical 20-year period.

Actively-managed funds, where a manager or committee makes the investment decisions, find such rare success because of numerous debilitating costs. Data from Morningstar shows that administrative, transaction, and opportunity costs result in total annual expenses of over 2.5% for the average actively-managed mutual fund. Index funds, on the other hand, minimize expenses by employing computer systems rather than expensive financial analysts and by trading far less frequently than active funds. A typical index fund has total annual expenses of less than 0.5%.

Simple math tells us that the average mutual fund investor earns the market return minus any expenses incurred. Therefore, based on the numbers in the paragraph above, the average index investor outperforms the average active investor by 2% annually. If that doesn't sound like a lot, consider the indexing advantage when compounded over 50 years (the longevity of many retirement accounts). Assuming an initial investment of $10,000 and an annual market return of 8%, an index investor would retire with savings of $372,000 while an active investor would retire with just $145,000 - that's less than half!  

Reason #2: Simplicity   

Index investing brings simplicity and transparency to an investment portfolio. In the wake of the recent financial crisis, individual investors are paying unprecedented attention to their investment portfolios. Some are abandoning high-priced professionals and managing their own money; others are examining their advisor's activities with increased scrutiny and skepticism. Effective investing is challenging, but it doesn't have to be complex.

According to a study by Ibbotson and Associates, over 90% of investing returns can be attributed to asset allocation, or the proportions of different types of financial assets (e.g., stocks, bonds, cash) in an investor's portfolio. Unfortunately, asset allocation can be difficult to determine when dealing with a portfolio of actively-managed funds. Active managers can drift from their described investment style in the hope of increasing returns, so an actively-managed "small cap value fund" could actually consist of some large cap, growth, or cash holdings at any time. Style drift takes the asset allocation decision out of the hands of the investor, potentially reducing overall portfolio diversification and subsequently increasing risk.  

In contrast, asset allocation for an index investor is greatly simplified. A small cap value index fund always maintains a 100% investment in small cap value stocks, so the investor knows exactly what he's getting for each dollar invested. This transparency greatly simplifies the task of portfolio management. Once an index investor determines his risk capacity, or the degree of downside uncertainty that he can tolerate in his portfolio, he periodically monitors his investments to ensure that his asset allocation stays consistent with his capacity for risk. When market movements cause his portfolio to become too risky or conservative, he simply makes a rebalancing trade to restore his target allocation.

Reason #3: Psychology

Index investing helps to counteract several harmful behavioral biases. When it comes to investing, you can be your own worst enemy! Overconfidence, loss aversion, and herding are just a few of the natural human tendencies that can keep you from making good investment decisions. A risk-appropriate index portfolio, when combined with a strict rebalancing program, provides a powerful defense against these damaging behavioral forces.

We (humans) tend to be overconfident about our mental and physical abilities. Eight out of 10 college students believe that they are better-than-average drivers and seven out of 10 Americans believe that they are smarter than the average American. For investors, overconfidence in one's ability to beat the market leads to frequent trading, higher expenses, and poor performance.

We also have a tendency to be loss averse. This phenomenon causes us to feel more pain from a $1000 loss than we feel happiness from a $1000 gain. As a result, we tend to hold losing investments for too long (in order to avoid the pain associated with realizing the loss) and sell winning investments too soon. Both of these practices destroy investment returns.

Finally, we follow the herd. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, countless "sophisticated" investors ignored fundamentals and invested in the latest dot-com, only to see their wealth destroyed soon thereafter. Herd behavior is so damaging because it often causes us to buy at the worst possible time (the top of the market) and sell at the worst possible time (the bottom).

By building a risk-appropriate portfolio and maintaining it through a rebalancing program, you can systematically avoid these harmful behavioral biases. First, eliminate the damaging effects of overconfidence by building a portfolio based on your risk capacity, not based on what you think the market or a particular sector is going to do. Next, fight your tendency to be loss averse by establishing target bands for portfolio rebalancing, thereby removing your ability to make harmful buy/sell decisions. Finally, ignore the herd and stick with your plan!

Summary

By investing in a risk-appropriate portfolio of index funds, you can boost your investing returns, simplify the task of portfolio management, and fight the harmful biases that are naturally present in your psyche. The benefits of index investing make this strategy anything but boring!.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It might seem counterintuitive to invest in a down economy but you are actually making a smart decision when you invest during the recession for many reasons. First, you are providing fresh capital to the economy, which will eventually rebound to your benefit.&#160; Second, most stocks of good companies are down so you can buy them cheap, which means that you get great deals can sell them for a profit when the market turns higher.

The trick is in knowing which investments to place your money in. Fortunately, there are five good investments that are either guaranteed to return your investment plus earnings or proven to be stable even in a down economy.

Certificates of Deposit

With certificates of deposit, your principal investment is safe in the bank no matter the state of the economy.&#160; You will earn interest on your investment at a fixed rate for a fixed period of time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Possibly by now everyone is already aware that the business world has been hit by a global financial crisis which affected adversely many companies in terms of their operation. As a consequence big investment and lending companies have either reduced or totally cut-off their investment as the market is no longer receptive to any business venture whether new or expansion.

Thus, this phenomenon has created a ripple effect which gives fears among the general public and resulted to holding-on of purchases on personal needs and deferring of personal investment. People in general are now skeptical about business and investment especially in countries that are badly affected by this crisis for fear that they will just end up losing their money.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have collected stamps before you may think, "Well a high priced stamp should show more profit over the long term than a low priced stamp." This statement is very true in essence, but we have to qualify it by determining what a high priced stamp actually is. For some people a stamp costing £500 may be highly priced, for others the figure may be nearer £5000 or more.

So if you have a small budget of around £500, is it feasible to invest it in stamps? The realistic answer is 'no'. To understand this lets consider some facts.

Over a short term(5years) stamps in this range tend to fluctuate more than those at £1000+.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so Shakespeare has no place in tax lien investing. Do you?

If you're considering making the move from mortgage foreclosure investing to tax lien investing, or if you're a new investor just wondering how you can make money from tax foreclosure property, you'll need to answer a few questions to determine if it's right for you to buy tax liens.

1. Do you have a lot of cash to invest? If the answer is yes, then tax lien investing may be a nice way for you to make a killer interest rate on your investment-- but you'll need to come up with all the cash up front for your winning bid at tax sale.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After years of losing money to a series of investment professionals from various banks and brokerage firms, I decided to use their tools on my own to see what kind of results I could achieve. Hopefully you can do the same. This is not a system or a get rich quick scheme. This is hard work but it will get you the results that your broker cannot provide. 

Does this sound familiar? I have lost thousands of dollars or more in the markets and I was investing through a reputable broker or financial expert. I made this statement around the year 2000 after firing my 3rd broker on three years. After all the lying, arrogance, misrepresentation and down right dishonesty, I was through with brokers and brokerage firms. They had unwittingly given me the tools that I needed to take control of my own portfolio and out perform any result that I ever achieved with a brokerage firm.  

Most investors have received the basic education from the investment professional about asset allocation, investment mix and risk tolerance. These are the foundation of good long term investment. You can easily do this for yourself and save the broker or management fees. When the average investment is returning less than 10 percent, what sense is it to give away 2 or 3 percent to some guy in a suit just for doing some paperwork? There is just one last thing that the professionals know that we don't. What are the good investments and how do we pick them?  

One common tools that all of my former investment professionals used bar none were Bell Charts. These nifty charts were a rating system for mutual funds that took into account everything from the profitability of a fund to the expense ratio to how they perform against funds in the same category. This way, if you want to put say 20 percent of your portfolio into a bond fund, you could see at a glance which funds were performing the best for that category of investment. The biggest mistake that my last brokers made was to say that they would never let my money stay in an under-performing fund. When I fired them, most of my funds had slipped into the bottom 25 percent of the fund categories and they could not give me a good reason why.  

So, I opened an online brokerage account and moved all of my investments into it. Over two years I sold off my old investments. They were mostly rear loaded so I timed selling them when fees were lowest. I used my cash from these sales to buy new funds that I selected using information from Morningstar. This is a site that offers Bell Charts that you and I can use! Within a short time it was obvious that my brokers picks were not performing half as well as what I had selected using the Bell Charts from Morningstar. I had to figure out my asset mix but that only took a few minutes. Now I am making money and I am left wondering what I used to pay those guys in suits for anyway?

Morningstar has a variety of powerful investment tools for the private and professional investor.]]></description>
