Determine Your Risk Tolerance

Risk tolerance differs for every person. Your stock analyst and broker know this quite well and they will help you assess your risk tolerance, making sure that your investments do not surpass your risk tolerance.

Risk tolerance is determined by considering various factors, like how much money can you afford or allocate to invest, and what your long-term financial objectives are.

Let’s take an example. Consider that you aim to retire in the next ten years and have no savings yet. In such a case, you have to have a large risk tolerance so that you can fulfill your aim of retiring.

In case you are twenty as of now and plan to start investing for your retirement, then you can do with a lower risk tolerance.

One simple thing has to be noted that how you feel or how much risk you feel in the investment is in no way related to your risk tolerance related to your long-term financial objectives.
For instance, if you invested in the stock market and you watched the movement of that stock daily and saw that it was dropping slightly, what would you do?
Now, having invested in stocks, if you observe that the stock prices are dropping a bit, what can you do?

You might sell out if you have a low risk tolerance or let your money ride and wait patiently for things to improve. This risk tolerance, though, is based on how you feel about your money and not on your financial objectives.

Any good stock analyst or an expert stock broker can easily help you figure out your investment risk tolerance, and they will guide you on investing correctly, as per your case.

To put it shortly, your risk tolerance has to relate with your long-term financial objectives and also with how you feel about investing your hard earned money.

Amy is eighteen and she has been spending months, five to be precise, practicing this one song that she would be performing for her music school’s concert. She toils over each note, each dynamic, each tone meticulously and to everyone else, she plays the song PERFECTLY. And yet, Amy’s not satisfied with her song. She laments to her mother, “But it’s NOT perfect. There’s something missing about the song”.

Her mother nods her head understandingly, “I don’t know what it is but you’ll figure it out”.

Amy nods away sadly, wondering what to do with her less-than-perfect piece. One day, while she was mindfully playing the piece on one of the music school’s display unit, which is displayed publicly, an experienced pianist walked up to her.

“That’s a nice song”, she commented. “You played it well”
Amy says, “Thank you. But it’s missing something, don’t you think?”
The pianist nods but smiles kindly, “Yes, it is. It’s missing flavor”.

Then it hit her, Amy’s been playing the song without putting herself into the music. Instead, she’s been putting her whole heart into memorizing the notes and the beat that she’s forgotten about the flavor of the music.

This is the same way we should approach writing. After writing freelance for eight years, I can tell you a secret to successful writing and how to sell your articles and make every single word that you type out on your computer turn to gold. You might even discover the secret to pulling in unbelievable traffic to your website or sell an unimaginable number of products or grow your small business beyond territories you initially intended to cover…and that is to put your feelings into your words.

I’ve seen VERY GOOD writing and I’ve written pieces that simply rocked. But I’ve also read some really bad articles…and I mean, REALLY bad ones that reeked so bad that it was considered un-readable or not-reader-worthy. The problem with these articles does not lie in the fact that the writer was talentless. Instead, like Amy, they were intensely passionate about their writing and could churn out article after article without needing to stop for a breather. But that’s where the problem lies.

When the writer focuses on finishing or actually completing the writing project instead of putting his or her feelings into the writing, the article or web content loses its flavor. In order for the article or web content to be a successful one, the writer must keep in mind that the main focus of writing the article in the first place.

Therefore, what the writer needs to do is to stop hurrying, stop focusing on the money aspect of it (although it’s hard, it’s not impossible) and just put their minds into writing a nice article or content. It benefits the clients because they get a nicely written piece of article that could potentially sell.

What’s the point of playing a piano piece when it’s lacking in flavor? What’s the point of writing an article when it’s as dead as a block of wood?

Think about it.

Fiddling With Hedge Funds

These are highly nervous days for hedge funds. The days of investing profitably with these seem to be over. The old tactics of these funds do not seem to work any more. There might be a need for these funds to reinvent themselves.

From Obscurity To Fame

The most popular sectors of hedge funds which brought in very high returns for them are no longer lucrative. These included commodity stocks, energy sector, uranium, gold and real estate. Of all the oil and uranium stocks were simply fabulous.

Hedge funds were quite obscure till 2002. Not many investors were aware of them or had faith in them. These fell in the area of high yield growth stocks.

Investing back in 2002-2003 was much safer as the stock markets were in the grip of a severe bear market and the value of stocks had fallen by almost half. Energy and commodity stocks were extremely cheap and there was not much downward risk at that time. That is how hedge funds came into prominence.

The basic factor bringing in huge profits to them was the principle of leverage. They believed in high borrowed money in order to play the market. Since the stocks were cheap and there was not much scope for further losses, there was more to gain than to lose. They used to turn small gains into bigger returns and fees.

Following the bear market of 2002, the hedge funds which invested in commodity and energy stocks raked in huge profits. This gave tremendous popularity to them. Now it is a $2 trillion dollar industry.

Hedge Funds In Doldrums

Commodity and oil stock prices seem to have matured. There is less likelihood of the huge returns that they usually used to bring in. There is danger of their falling down and so many of them may be risky.

The recent credit crunch, mortgage crisis, banking woes and recession have taken a heavy toll of these funds. Credit Suisse / Tremont Blue Chip Index which judges the performance of the best hedge funds has been mostly flat since the second half of 2007, with most of their growth of 7.4 percent coming from the first half of 2007.

However, Credit Suisse Index may not be quite representative as numerous hedge funds easily get deleted from this following their downturn.

The Dark Side of Hedge Funds

One major problem with hedge funds is that unlike other mutual funds, most of them do not publish daily volumes, Because of this; it is difficult to measure their performance as regularly as in case of other funds. This renders it extremely difficult to make any informed decision.

The second major problem with them is that they charge very high fees, usually 20 per cent of the profits. May be with reduced profitability, this may come down.

Thirdly it is also supposed to be doubtful if the statistics they report are reliable. They are believed to be inflating their performance to a great degree.

The Final Word

It is all a question of investment timing. Last few years were extremely lucrative and any investment in prominent sectors of commodities and energy brought is substantial returns.

Hedge funds are risky. They are like High Yielding Investment Programs. Therefore, it may not be advisable to play with them any more.

With the credit squeeze and banks and brokerage firms having become very cautious in lending, hedge funds may no longer be able to use the strategy of leverage. The stock markets are entering into an uncertain future.

Any investment in hedge funds does not appear to be as transparent and high yielding. So at best many investors may like to avoid them.

Bite-Size It!

It’s The Secret of Champions.

The average NBA player hits 8.3 points per game. Michael Jordan’s average score was a mind-blowing 32 points per game. That’s why Michael Jordan was Michael Jordan.
Jordan was so incredibly consistent he retired in 1999 from the NBA still keeping his 32 point career average. Here’s the remarkable thing: His 32 points happened whether he had injuries or not, or who his coach was, or who his teammates were, or who he was playing against. He just scored 32 points-more or less-per game.

When asked how he was able to do that, he revealed the powerful secret of champions. Jordan said, “I simplified it a few years ago: 32 points per game is really just 8 points per quarter. I figure I can get that in some kind of way during the course of a game.” Amazing? In other words, he “bite-sized” his goal. Which is what you should be doing if you want to win in life.

Bite-Size Your Unrealistic Dreams

Let’s say Jeff earns P25,000 a month today. But Jeff dreams of earning P100,000 a month one day.
Many people will call him, “Unrealistic”. But in my book, that’s good. I wrote in a previous blog post that from my experience, Unrealistic Dreams attract more resources and commitment because they’re more exciting. But I agree, dreaming of earning P100,000 a month is daunting. Like flying to the moon. But like Jordan, Jeff should bite-size it. Because Jeff surfs the net a lot, he wants to start an internet business. Specifically, he wants to build a website that will earn through Google ads. His goal: Earn P25,000 each month. His third business venture is his networking marketing business. His goal: Create a passive income of P25,000 each month. His fourth business venture is connected to his hobby-selling second-hand cars. His uncle has been doing it for years, earning hundreds of thousands each month, and promised to teach him. So if Jeff sells one car a month, he already earns P25,000 each month. (Note: If you want to start your own business, I recommend that you join the Truly Rich Super Marketing Workshop. Click here for more information.) All of a sudden, P100,000 a month is now doable. Warning: Jeff shouldn’t start 4 businesses at one go. He should start one at a time. And it’s also possible that one of these businesses will be his main business-and explodes to P100,00 a month by itself.
But more on this later…

I Apply Bite-Sizing To My Ministry

Many years ago, I dreamt that I would have 10 special ministries for the poorest of the poor. Not one. Not two. Not three. But ten! I wanted to care for the abandoned elderly, visit the prisoners, house the orphans, and send street kids to school; I also wanted to build homes for the urban poor and establish a micro-lending program for poor women… I wanted to do so much!
My dream was nuts. It was absolutely insane. Well today, that dream is no longer a dream.
Here’s an update: We now have 7 ministries for the poorest of the poor. (Yes, we have 3 more to go!) Here’s a secret I’ll discuss with you later: I cheated. I didn’t even have to start the ministries. All I had to do was partner with fantastic friends who were already doing what I wanted to do. In other words, I bite-sized!

Focus On The One Thing

As Jeff shouldn’t start 4 businesses right away, I didn’t start 10 ministries right away. I just focused on One Thing. For me, that was Anawim, our home for the abandoned elderly.
For 3 years, I had to live on a piece of land that had nothing else but cogon grass-with no running water and electricity. Together with volunteers, we lived in nipa huts and cared for the poorest of the poor. We picked them up from the streets and cared for them as our own. We made so many mistakes, I can write a book about them. (Don’t worry, I won’t.) Once Anawim was established, I was now able to move on to other things. (By the way, I’d like to invite you to be my Partner in my ministries. Join KerygmaFamily.com and together, we can share God’s Love to the world.)

Friend, what is your One Thing?

If you have an Unrealistic Dream, focus on One Thing. Let me give you another example.
When I wanted to earn more money, I entered into a half-a-dozen businesses: I sold herbal juice, engine oil, memorial plans; I put up a fish ball cart, built an ice cream store, and put up a hotdog stand. Result? I lost money. Big time. I learned my lesson. I was doing too many things, too soon.
I’ve now learned that at the start of the journey, I should focus on One Thing. Once that One Thing was stable, I moved on to the next One Thing. Result? I’m now enjoying multiple income streams: (1) Corporate Seminars; (2) Real Estate; (3) Internet Marketing Business; (4) Education; (5) Financial Services; (6) Stock Market; and (7) Mutual Funds. But it didn’t start with seven.
It started with one.

Let me ask you again: What is your One Thing?

Cheat!

Find A Dream Team

Finding a Dream Team is so powerful, it’s almost like cheating. (Okay, it’s not really cheating. But I’m using this word to SHOCK you into action.) Believe me, when you have an Unrealistic Dream, you’ll be forced to look for a Dream Team. After 10 years of building Anawim, I knew I was in trouble. Because I couldn’t take another 10 years to build my second ministry for the poor! I did the math: If my goal were 10 ministries, then it would take me 100 years to fulfill my dream.
And then it hit me: Why create the ministries from scratch? Why not partner with other friends who were already doing what I wanted to do? So I cheated. I looked for a Dream Team who had my passion for the poor. Anawim is now led by Tim Duran and an incredible team of servants.

After that, I partnered with a street kids ministry, He Cares, led by my friend Jodean Sola.
After that, I partnered with Gawad Kalinga to build a village in Montalban beside Anawim.
After that, I partnered with Rey Ortega and his Alay Foundation, a scholarship program for poor children, and his Tahanan orphanage. And together, we’re expanding all these ministries.
Friend, cheat!

Who is your Dream Team?

May your dreams come true,

Every genuine stock trader I have encountered so far in my almost ten years of stock trading and analyzing of stocks all have one common denominator; they all believe that everything is possible in the capital market.

The mindset of a stock trader is a comprehensive description of the mindset, thought pattern, beliefs, heart beat, and approach to stock investments. The traditional stocks investor is averse to taking risk, plays safe, takes his time, is not knowledgeable of the undercurrents of equity investments, he is grossly ignorant of the dos and don’ts of stocks investment, he is a passive player in the very active terrain of the capital market. No wonder they make just 10% of the over 12 trillion naira that exchange hands daily in the capital market and they constitute about 90% of investors that lay claim to owning shares of companies.

Stock traders smile to the bank everyday with about 90% of the over 12 trillion naira that actively is changing hands in the capital market, they make just 10% of investors in the Nigerian Stocks Exchange. The stock trader as the name implies buys and sells stocks; the emphasis is on the word “TRADE” there is a constant exchange of stocks for money, it is his trade-mark.

- HE IS INTERESTED IN HIGH LIQUIDITY STOCKS

If you take a close look at the daily, weekly and monthly trading, you’ll observe that it is the sector leaders that lead in volume of trade, they are the ones that command more patronage, their daily trade volumes is in millions. Now, this is very important to the stock trader for the sake of effective and unhindered trading.

Let me describe how this mindset works. High liquidity means high trade volume; stock traders
Focuses on high volume stocks, therefore, he knows it is dangerous to buy into a company that does low trading volume, why? because when he wants to sell, it will be difficult to do so.

- HE CONSISTENTLY LOOKS FOR OPPORTUNITIES OF HOT STOCKS TO INVEST IN

The capital market is a beehive of investment opportunities for all investors to make fabulous returns. These opportunities come in different shape and sizes; also they come in different colorations, but it is the seasoned stock trader that is able to grasp them because he consistently looks out for them.

The stock trader knows the addresses of where to locate these openings, He goes to investment columns in daily newspapers, in investment newspapers, stock investment programs in Radio and Television, at seminar venues and stock investment websites.

- CONSISTENTLY EDUCATES HIMSELF.

Equity investment education is paramount to the stock trader, He knows acquiring stock trading understanding is non negotiable, he knows the knowledge of yesterday at best is good enough for today but certainly not for tomorrow.

You’ll always find him at seminar grounds both paid and free, most stock traders do subscribe to top stocks newspapers, they are on the list of first-class stock investment newsletters on the internet like.

- HE IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN STOCK TRADING

Stocks’ trading is a full-time vocation, so important that it cannot be left completely in the hands of a stock broker, which in my considered and humble opinion can be detrimental to your investment health.

Therefore, by the foregoing, the stocks trader is actively engaged in trading, it his passion, he derives a thrill from trading in hot stocks that sees him growing his portfolio to enviable heights.

Conclusive, it pays to cultivate the mindset of a stock trader. All over the world, the best performers in equity investment have been known to be stock traders.

Here we will look at some currency trading basics and 10 tips to set you on the road to currency trading success which will steer you away from errors made by the 95% of losers and help you enter the elite 5% of winners who make big consistent gains…

The tips are all important and in no particular order of importance there all important…

1. Do NOT Buy a Forex Robot

There more popular than ever and a huge number of traders buy them – but they don’t work.

They all come with simulated track records made up in hindsight that fail in real time trading and destroy equity.

You don’t get rich with no effort so forget them and get the right forex education.

2. Do Not Try Scalping or Day Trading

Another guaranteed way to lose money. Forget all the vendors claiming they make money long term – they don’t.

Any track record you see is normally a simulation and made up in hindsight.

Day trading doesn’t work, as the time period is to short and you can’t tell what millions of people are going to do in a few hours – so don’t try.

3. Use a Simple Forex Trading System

Simple systems work best and always have you don’t get paid for being clever you get paid for being right in forex trading and simple systems make more profits as they are more robust and have fewer elements to break.

4. Don’t Work Hard

You don’t need to work hard, you need to work smart.

Forget all the people who tell you that you need to continually learn, you don’t.

Once you have a system you are confident in, that’s it.

All you need to do, is apply it – you can learn a system in a couple of weeks and execute in less than 30 minutes a day. People like to work hard, because it makes them feel better and there used to it.

In most jobs the more hours you do the more you get – not so in forex trading.

Your trading signal can take you 30 minutes or 30 hours but it’s not judged on effort, just if it makes money.

5. Discipline is the Key

If you have a simple forex trading strategy you have confidence in you need to execute it with discipline and this can be hard for most traders – they hate taking losses – but you have to take losses to make profits in forex trading and it’s as simple as that.

Sure we want to win all the time but that’s not life!

Discipline is what separates winners from losers. If you don’t have the discipline to stick to your system, you don’t have one.

6. Know Your Edge

I teach forex trading and always ask new traders:

What’s your trading edge? What will make you win when 95% lose

Most just stare blankly but the fact is if you don’t what your edge is you don’t have one and its back to learning currency trading until you do.

Being a Winner

Anyone can learn to trade currencies but most fail do they fail because they cant learn – no, they fail because they learn the wrong education and fail to see forex for what it is:

A game where your system is important but your mindset is even more important, you need a combination of the two to succeed. Unless you have discipline and understand what you are doing your trading method will fail because you won’t stick with it. On the other hand, if you get this combination right you can enjoy forex trading success.

The secret shopper assignments are very lucrative and are offered in plenty, but there are many scams involved in the process of recruitment and so on. These fraudulent activities prove to be expensive loses for the candidates. As in all other fields, the fraudsters deceive those candidates who are naïve and easily fall prey to their bait. These fake organizations put attractive advertisements in popular media mostly the internet and lure candidates. Usually they promise placements in organizations of repute and the ones that offer handsome salaries with a lot of benefits.

The secret shopper career enthusiast believes in whatever the fraudulent firms say as though they can never cheat them. Some of these firms charge exorbitant amounts of money from the enthusiastic candidates on the pretext of registration, training programs and certifications. After they manage to get the money they disappear from the scene. The machinations of fraudulent organizations will always be there but one should understand the circumstances under which one can become vulnerable to fraudulency. Over ambitious youth who want to make a quick buck will find these jobs very attractive as they get to make acquaintances, visit places and buy stuff at the expense of the firm that they work for.

The prospective secret shopper who is desperate to get a placement will eagerly do whatever the fraudulent organizations ask him to. Patience always pays. One needs to do some hard work along with applying intelligence to select a genuine organization from the myriads of them that one can easily find by simply conducting a search engine hunt. Many [people who do not have big qualifications or experience and hence not selected in other careers expect to find shelter in this career. Such people are too tired to wait for a good placement and run behind whatever is available regardless of the genuineness of the organization.

The secret shopper advertisements promise a large than life image of the nature of the work and the perks associated with it in a highly convincing manner and people simply ignore the suggestions of their prudent minds and easily fall prey to them. The advertisements usually emphasize on the interesting nature of work and how convenient it is to work with it. They project the work as though it is all about enjoyment whereas in reality it is not so. This job requires one to do very hard work. Although each assignment is of a short duration a candidate cannot make any decent profit for himself if he does not make at least five to six visits per day. Usually the advertisements do not stress on the latter factor of more visits but only emphasize the fact that a visit is usually of a short duration. People get attracted to such work terms easily.

Another point that attracts candidates to secret shopper assignment is that the advertisers claim that anybody can be very successful in this career. The truth is that only those people who have good communication skills, a keen sense of observation, an ability to form unbiased opinions and above all loads of commonsense seem to cruise through this career smoothly to the top. More than that people should be very energetic as the nature of work requires one to be mobile all the time and present themselves in the best possible manner in public.

Every business should tax will accept credit cards at some point. Unfortunately most business owners never fully grasp the options available to them when they decide it’s time to taxes for a merchant account. This ultimately results in the business owner signing tax mistakes application for an outdated dial up credit card terminal that is nearly a 25 year old technology. Additionally Visa/MasterCard or the vendor will rarely if ever come out to update the machine once it’s been installed thus most people are pay fees that are way too high and therefore your spending way more then you have too.

Well fortunately that’s now a problem of the past. Credit card processing has moved into the broadband world and with that businesses can use their high speed internet connection to process credit card transactions in a more efficient, productive and timely manner. Plus by using your internet connection you remove the need to have a dedicated phone line to process which saves you on avg of about $360.00 a year.

By having an always ready, internet connected processing solution you will always be receiving the best rates and will experience the piece of mind knowing that you’re not losing money where you don’t have too. I urge all business owners to abandon their old dial up terminal and switch to a broadband merchant solution today.

The benefits of internet processing are:

- Advanced reporting features
- Ability to capture email addresses for marketing purposes
- Ability to integrate with your website and take transactions via your cell phone or PDA
- Updated fees that happen automatically not randomly or never like with a dialup terminal
- Ability to export data to be used in accounting packages.

With this short list of features you can see why processing via the internet beats using a dialup terminal hands down.

Thank you.
