		<description><![CDATA[You might have come across this dilemma, which investment product to choose - ULIP or Fixed Deposits? First let's understand what these two products -

ULIPs vs Fixed Deposits - Which is better for you?

Before you zero on any of these products, answer the following questions?

a) What kind of investor are you?

a) Risk taking b) Conservative

If you are a conservative investor, FDs is better than ULIPs. If you are a risk taking investor, you can consider ULIPs.

b) What is the tenure for your investment

a) Less than 3 years b) More than 3 years

If your investment tenure is less than 3 years, FDs is better than ULIPs. If you are a long term investor, ULIPs are better.

c) What is the Rate of return you are expecting?

If you are expecting a fixed rate of return (rate provided by the FD Provider), Fixed Deposits is better than ULIPs

d) What are the tax benefits on the returns?

Return on FDs is taxable whereas withdrawal of ULIP investment is tax free.

Note - These questions are based considering the two investment products - ULIP and FD.]]></description>

This "club" is often made up of a small band of people who joined together to delve into investment plans and make small profits with their investments together.

Club Organization. PICs are often made of not more than 15 people who seriously want to learn about investments together.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many good things to say about investing in wine, especially when compared to other investment products typically available to investors. For one thing it can give fantastic yields of up to 30% a year, and has also out performed the stock market for three decades.

Wine is good as both a short term investment (one year) and long term investment (5 years) and is hedged by the fact that it is always in demand with an ever diminishing supply.

Wine is less volatile than the stock market, and is backed by a real non speculative market to be sold onto which helps keep the prices from massive fluctuations.

Wine is a tangible asset that you own, which can give you grater security to that of money invested into a fund, which may end up being used as working capital.

Unlike other investments wine has a low barrier to entry and is suitable for investors from a wide range of financial status.

Unlike stocks and shares you don't need to be an expert to make money with investing in wine, if you choose the right merchant they should be able to give you all the advice you need to get the right portfolio up and running.

No capital gains tax in the UK, in England wine is considered as a wasting asset and is except from paying capital gains tax on the profits of your investment.

Freedom to sell when ever you like, it is fairly easy to sell on and cash in your wine investment which gives you a level of liquidity that may be lacking from other investment opportunities.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is the best type of investment? The short answer is 'it depends'. There are a number of factors to take into consideration when investing a lump sum.

What is your investment time frame?

Your investment time frame ends when you need access to your investment capital rather than the income from that capital. In general, if you need your capital within five years, it will be best to put your money into an investment with a fixed value to avoid the risk of making a loss.

Do you need income from the investment?

Investments can produce a return by way of income (interest or dividends) or capital gain (increase in the value of the investment) or a combination of the two.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Options trading can bring you great rewards....provided you are prepared to take the time and learn how to trade options properly.

However a question often heard is:

"If options trading is so great and can make you loads of money.... and is not that risky then why isn't everybody doing it?"

A fair question and one which could take over an hour to answer!

However the short answer is twofold.

Firstly options are still a relatively new financial product. This means that their existence is broadly out of the public eye.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may seem like an impossible task to invest on a low income, but the benefits far outweigh the sacrifices. Unlike savings, which serve short-term financial goals like buying a new car or establishing an emergency fund, investments are intended to meet your long-term financial goals, including providing for a child's college education or your retirement.

Regardless of income, the money that you do have needs to be managed. The best investment products for you will be determined by your long-term financial goals.]]></description>

For some, images of Bernard Madoff coupled with the recession makes for a very risky market indeed. You have probably heard of too many banks, insurance companies and investment houses folding under the pressure of the recession as well as the domino effect of fraudulent Ponzi schemes.

For others, you probably think that the investment world is so complicated and complex that it is confusing to all but the likes of Warren Buffett.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How soon would you want to know if your investment advisor wasn't telling you about the three major investment types? If you've only heard of two - Variable and Fixed, then you may have a problem.

Unfortunately, many investment advisors routinely fail to present all three types: Variable, Fixed, and Indexed as valid investment choices to their clients. This is normally because they are unable to offer all three options or they have a personal dislike for one or more of these investment types.

So what is the difference in these investment types and what do the terms mean? The simplest answer is that these terms define how interest is earned on your investment. More specifically, it tells you how your money is invested and if your money is protected from market fluctuations.]]></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>
