Long-Term Investment Long term investments includes investments which cover longer periods of time. It can be held for a period of years (between 5 years to 25 years} or more. Your choice of the type of investment depends on your risk outlook.

Treasury Bills

This comes in-block and is used by government to help the public and to prevent too much money in circulation. The minimum depends on the government involved but is mostly in multiples of 10,000.

Bonds: Bonds come in various forms.

They’re known as “fixed-income” securities because the amount of income the bond generates each year is “fixed,” or set, when the bond is sold. From an investor’s point of view, bonds are very similar to Certificate of Deposits, except that they are issued by the government or by corporations instead of banks.

Stock: Stocks are a way for individuals to own parts of businesses. A share or stock represents a proportional share of ownership in a company. As the value of the company changes, the value of the share in that company rises and falls.

They can be Ordinary Shares or Preference Shares. Debenture loan stocks are also available in some companies.

Choosing long term investment means an Investor is comfortable enough to overlook fluctuations to his investment i.e after a series of short term investments, resources are now pooled together to obtain a longer term investment portfolio. This investment option means that you cannot pull out your investment capital on impulse (at least not as easily as going to the bank to withdraw your savings)!. An Investor in the long term must be more versatile. Monitor your investment by watching stock indices, obtaining an analysis of the various companies you have invested in.

I remember how little quitting my “real” job troubled me. Walking out of my blue cubicle, where I spent years wondering if I could somehow request another cubicle next to office window without getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me. There was no tickle of mystery about it – I just got fed up working for someone else that looks at you with blank and rather fishy expression every time you walk into his office.

I entered the world of online forex trading with bliss. I have been into forex trading for years and now, finally, my dream of working from home and really earning enough has come true. Here I am working my own hours at my own pace, being my own boss, finally spending some time with my previously abandoned dog! What can possibly go wrong?

Well, I started to notice things that you never have to deal with when you work in an office. For example:

• I start to forget how to drive my car. Actually, I don’t even know where the car keys are – definitely somewhere in the house, unless the dog ate them…
• Whenever I go out from the house, I can hardly keep my eyes open due to an excessive amount of sunshine. That reminds me to buy a new pair of sun glasses.
• Whenever I am out of the house I seek attention from strangers. An icy bubble of excitement surges through me whenever there is a possibility of a real human conversation!
• Come to think of it, the driving skills are not the only skills that I started loosing. I no longer have a social “touch”. When limited to endless conversations with 2 years old golden retriever and forex trading forums my social skills have gone bye-bye. I no longer able to express myself without stumbling over words. I wish I could type a conversation instead of saying a word! At least there is a “delete” option when you make a spelling mistake!
• I can spend the whole day wearing my pajamas… actually I can go on without showing for days.
• I sometimes can’t help but stare helplessly over the cluttered apartment. Unless I really can’t pick my way across the room I do nothing about it.

Don’t get me wrong – forex trading rocks, but you still need some kind of schedule while working from home, unless you want to end up like me!

And don’t forget the time. Interest and time are two of the most key elements in savvy budgeting that is hardly mentioned when the topic of budgeting is mentioned.

A small amount of money can grow into heaps under the right conditions. Here is a metaphor: picture a lone flatworm, which turns into a miniature army of flatworms, if a competent cutter makes that incision in the right spot which would allow the flatworm to split into two successfully, and those flatworms decided to have a party, conditions were right, and nothing disturbed them. Similarly to flatworms, money needs time and interest- and no disturbance- in order to grow. Money needs to be cut and placed into a vehicle, like a flatworm’s Petri dish, that allows the money to grow with time and interest. If the investor has urges to touch the money, a certificate of deposit (or a swift kick as a reminder) could be a good way to go since it discourages the investor from withdrawing money by charging fees for doing that before a set date.

Anyway, money best grows on compound interest instead of simple interest. In simple interest, that small amount of money is the only thing that earns interest. In compound interest, that small amount of money PLUS the interest on that small amount of money, earns interest. Under compound interest, the more frequent an amount of money is allowed to earn interest, the quicker that small amount of money grows into heaps of money. Therefore, if ever given a choice over investing your money at simple interest or compound interest, opt for the choice with compound interest. Another way of putting this information to practical use is, if you have a credit card, look for the one that does not charge compound interest on the balance. If that is not possible, pick a card that charges a lower interest rate over the same amount of time.

One major credit card can fool someone into thinking that the interest rate that it charges for late payments is lower than the next credit card by restating the terms of interest and time. For example, having an interest charge of 2.5% for every fortnight that the balance wasn’t completely paid off is the same as having an interest charge of 5% for every month.

Time is money, and that saying is very true in this case. A great financial tenet is: A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow. Why is that? It is true because of compound interest. If you earn a dollar today, tomorrow you have that dollar PLUS interest, assuming that you didn’t spend that dollar and invested it somewhere. If you earn a dollar tomorrow, you do not earn any interest until the day after tomorrow. And remember, the sooner and the more frequent you earn interest, the sooner and the larger your small amount of money grows.

Now let’s say that you have a choice between a billion dollars today or a billion dollars tomorrow. Obviously you’d pick having a billion dollars today. And with a billion dollars earning compound interest today, you’d have more than a billion dollars tomorrow.

Then let’s consider what happens to that miniature army of flatworms if for some reason, a couple hundred of them were needed at different points of time during the school year for a bunch of high school students to run biological experiments on them. How would taking away some flatworms at different points in time affect the number of flatworms that make up that miniature army?

Well, if the same amount of flatworms were taken away mainly during the beginning of the school year, at the end of the school year there would be less flatworms than if the same amount of flatworms were taken away mainly towards the end of the school year.

Likewise, if the same amount of money is taken out of a compound interest account towards the beginning of the financial year, at the end of the financial year there would be less money than if the same amount of money were taken away mainly towards the end of the financial year.

It’s all because of time and interest. Have you stopped to think how credit cards and other fine lending institutions make their money? They take advantage of time and interest, and the fact that some people just don’t appreciate how much of an impact interest and time has on an unpaid balance until it becomes a huge problem. A debt agreement or bankruptcy cuts off the time and interest factor that multiplies the debt that is owed by the debtor. Think of how much money is saved by having a debt agreement or declaring bankruptcy… In flatworm terms, that would be a big pool of flatworms….

In all honesty, there are many different scenarios that could be played out with different amounts of money, time, and interest. Knowing what happens with the variations of these key elements and applying them to your budgeting can help you make payments in time and reach goals. The next time you decide what to do with spending and budgeting, think of how a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow, and remember that as true as timing is everything, it’s all about the interest, baby!

Soon after Mr. Ecker took the helm of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Leroy A. Lincoln, at the age of 49, was made Vice President. He had come into the company in 1918, and in little more than a decade had demonstrated his capacity to handle a variety of complicated administrative problems.

He had a broad and intimate knowledge of the entire insurance business, having previously served as Counsel to the New York State Insurance Department. He brought to his duties not only a keen analytical mind but also a warm sympathy for the men in the field, and special enthusiasm for the social service program of the organization. When, in March 1936, Mr. Ecker became Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Lincoln succeeded to the Presidency, continuing the policies of his predecessor in office.

Frederick H. Ecker became president of the company at a period which then looked to many like a “Golden Era.” All business was at a high peak, and the Metropolitan shared in the general prosperity. Toward the close of this period many people seriously believed that a new order of living had arrived in America and that prosperity, along with low cost life insurance, was to go on forever.

One measure of this buoyant state was the rise in prices of common stocks, particularly those dealt in on Exchanges. Under such promising conditions, it is not surprising that common stocks were seriously urged as suitable investments even for life insurance companies; and one or two companies not subject to the restrictions of the New York Law purchased sizable blocks of well selected common stocks for their portfolios.

It was at this juncture, in September 1929, that President Ecker, in an address before the National Association of Life Underwriters at Washington, analyzed the proposal that life insurance funds be put into common stocks, and took a firm position against such “investments” by the life insurance companies. There were some who challenged his position; but not long after Mr. Ecker’s address had been published and put into circulation there came, in October 1929, the first of the Stock Exchange crashes. His judgment as to the dangers of common stock investments for life insurance companies was vindicated almost overnight.

The full import of this disaster was little understood at the moment. It was not for weeks and months that the country came to understand that its entire economy had suffered a shock which could not be overcome for years. As the first overturns in the Stock Exchange deepened into a well defined national depression, the life insurance companies shared the difficulties of the times with other financial institutions.

Large numbers of people lost their savings on the Exchanges. Many banks closed their doors, foreclosures increased rapidly, and employment began to drop sharply. As a consequence, many people borrowed on their policies, whether it was individual health insurance or life insurance to obtain the cash which they could find through no other source. This situation was further complicated by moratoria on policy loans and surrenders enforced in a majority of the States-limitations which were not sought by the Metropolitan.

The company continued to make all payments where no restrictions existed, and met every obligation as soon as the curbs were lifted. During the decade from 1930 to 1939 the Metropolitan paid out well in excess of $5,000,000,000 to life insurance policies or beneficiaries. These payments saved from the ignominy of public relief many thousands of individuals who had set up their own protective plans through insurance during more prosperous years. Contemporary with the efforts of the Federal Government to afford relief to the destitute members of the population, they certainly lightened the public burden.

With the sharp decline in the stock market and the failure of many financial institutions, many people are very worried about their savings and retirement accounts. If you are worried about your financial nest-egg, then you probably need to know more about how the government already has safeguards in place for you, depending on where your money is invested.

Here are some tips and pointers about making sure your money is safe:

Banks and Credit Unions

If your money is in an account that is FDIC insured AND your account balance is less than the FDIC insurance limit, then you are as safe as you can be. The same goes for credit unions, except they are insured by NCUA. It’s the same idea, but a different organization. They are both backed by the federal government, so the government is going to make sure your funds are there when you need them.

Certificates of Deposit, Bonds, etc.

These really depend on who is backing the bond. If you have a treasury bond, you’re all set. Those are bonds issued by the government, so they are backed by the financial resources of the government. Most bonds and CDs fall into this category, so you should be safe. These fall under the same FDIC insurance as savings accounts, except that CD insurance is (currently) at $250,000 per institution, instead of the $100,000 limit for checking and savings. Keep in mind that a little investigating may save you untold heartache, so it would be good to ask about your specific CDs.

If your CDs are backed by a financial institution that is not FDIC insured, then you may consider breaking the certificate and paying the penalty to get your money out early. You can then put the remaining money into CDs and Treasury Bonds that are fully backed by the government. This will allow you to know that your money will be safe, even if the bank that holds the certificate falters.

Stock Portfolios

If your money is in the stock-market (i.e. it is in a 401(k) plan), then you’re not so lucky. Then again, you’re very lucky. It depends on how you want to look at it and how much time you have until you need that money.

If you need the money now (or within the year) from your stock-market portfolio, then you may be in trouble. The value of those stocks may be worth considerably less than they were even a year ago. The longer you can leave them sit, the better off you should be.

However, if you have five to ten years to leave the stocks alone and let the stock-market rebound, you’re in great shape. In fact, you could actually see a profit in this situation. You see, for every dollar you put into the market right now, you’re buying more shares of stocks than you were a year ago for the same dollar. In some cases, two-to-three times the amount.

Now, this doesn’t mean to dump everything you have into stocks. The market is still a bit too unstable for that, and the stock market is – after all – a gamble. But if you can just hold on and keep contributing to your retirement plan just as you have been, the odds are in your favor to come out ahead.

Of course, it is always a good idea to know where your stock-purchases are going. You may want to make some adjustments to your portfolio to ensure that the dollars you are investing are going to solid funds, but don’t panic. You just need to sit tight with the patience to let the market rebound.

Commodity ETFs (exchange traded funds) are made up predominantly of things derived or cultivated from the Earth. These include energies, such as oil and natural gas, agriculture, which includes crops and livestock, and metals, like silver and gold. Commodity ETFs are also made up of currency exchange traded funds. An exchange traded fund is similar to a mutual fund with one major difference being that it is traded on the market like a stock.

A Gold ETF was launched in March of 2003. Gold ETFs are shares of gold issued as a certificate. This is appealing to some gold investors (coined gold bulls in the marketplace) because they can own gold without having to store the physical inventory.

The gold exchange traded fund inventory is securely stored by their holders in vaults. The holder that launched the first gold ETF is StreetTracks Gold Shares. Incidentally, they are also the largest holder of the fund. The corporation holds such a vast amount of gold that it has recently had to find a larger vault in which to store it. Currently StreetTracks Gold Shares stores about 584 tons of gold, with a value of almost 18 billion dollars. When the ETF launched in 2003 they had only 8 tons.

Gold ETFs are considered a good hedge fund for a commodity exchange traded fund portfolio because of the stability gold has shown over the years. Gold’s value has kept up with inflation for more than 100 years. Recently gold ETFs have been up and down, but as a long term investment, gold is thought by many to be one of the safest.

1/10 of an ounce of gold is equivalent to one share. The average cost to trade a gold ETF is about 0.4%. This is a full percent less than other commodity ETFs. Gold is considered to offer the most liquidity of commodity ETFs, making gold the savvy investors choice.

Recently the name of StreetTracks Gold ETF was changed to SPDR Gold Trust, though its symbol, GLD, remains the same. This was a re-branding done to pull all of the corporations commodity ETF funds under one umbrella, making it simpler for investors to find all of the products they offer

SPDR Gold ETF declined by 12.5% in April of 2008, the steepest since the inception of the ETF. It is expected to be back on the rise with analysts suspecting it will hit record highs by the end of the year.

There are financial advisors who advise against gold ETFs because they feel the funds are a bad choice. Other than for making jewelry, they say, gold is a useless commodity. They also warn that the capital gains tax on gold is almost double that of other commodity ETFs. Some advisors are concerned that the storage of the gold is so secretive, making it impossible to know if the gold is adequately secure.

Most financial advisors and analysts praise gold ETFs as a safe, secure investment because the price of gold, they claim, cannot decline due to political uprise or the fall of financial institutions. They say that gold will always have a value. The global demand for gold ETFs is in a constant upswing, even in the current troubled financial state. Gold ETF, the experts tell us, is of the most secure and trusted assets to invest in today. Consider adding a gold ETF to your commodity ETFs, chances are you won’t regret it.

One of the most prominent changes with every lender in today’s market are the stricter underwriting guidelines they are imposing on all their borrowers. Because of their previous lackadaisical approach, many lenders have found themselves in great trouble with many closing their doors and claiming bankruptcy. The lenders who are still in business now realize the importance of sound underwriting on all of the loans that come across their desk.

When a loan request is submitted to a lender, a loan processor is typically assigned to the loan to gather all of the necessary documents that the underwriter will need to evaluate the loan and to make sure the borrower will be able to make their payments and still have a reserve for emergencies. The documentation they will require is also required by the regulators that the banks have to answer to. Because of the mortgage crisis, regulators are running around as fast as they can and are extremely picky with what they need as documentation.

While this should have been happening over the past years, it has caused banks to reorganize their underwriting departments and request for more information than they need to ensure they will meet the regulators stringent requirements so they can keep lending. Many of these changes have increased the underwriting process and the amount of paperwork the borrowers need to collect.

If borrowers, sellers and brokers do not understand this, they might not give the borrower enough time in escrow on a purchase and will have to deal with their money going hard sooner than they would like. Borrowers requesting a refinance may also find delays if they do not have the proper paperwork up to date, especially if they are holding title in a trust or limited liability company.

Some of the other underwriting changes to look out for include:

1. Increased Debt Coverage Ratios (DCR)

2. Changes in term, rate, fees to accommodate perceived added risk

3. Additional bank statements for ALL liquid or semi-liquid assets listed on the personal financial statement

4. The minimum credit scores for approval have been raised

Money is what “makes the world go round.” And one of the most difficult propositions in life is to manage money.

While some are born with great financial acumen others need to be methodical and follow sound advice.

Here are a few basic tips:

1. Inculcate frugality within you; desist temptation to spend now save later. Every dollar earned must be divided into four parts: one part to meet essential expenses; one part to be invested in short-term savings; one part for retirement savings; and one part for emergency expenses.

2. Create with expert advice an infallible financial plan. Plan your credit report, taxes, and expenses. Keep a watch and learn how to regulate yourself.

3. Avoid the debt trap set by credit card companies and the easy availability of loans. Only spend what you have in hand and not any monies in advance.

4. Learn the art of investment. The World Wide Web is a reliable resource for information, reviews, and guidelines on investments. If doubtful seek expert advice on investments; the ideal is to balance investments into sure-fire investments, medium risk investments, and high risk investments.

5. Make wise decisions when buying a home, office, and more. Avail a mortgage that works for you. Property can be a good investment when bought after deep thought and in allocation where the appreciation is high.

6. Teach every family member how to invest and the secret of handling money wisely. Even children need to learn from a young age.

7. Insure your interests. Take enough insurance but learn the art of saving on premiums, clubbing policies, and umbrella policies. Know how to save money every step.

8. Spend prudently. Plan your luxuries and eating out. Learn how to shop sensibly and not indulge.

9. Avoid lending money or borrowing money. Financial matters are best handled alone and not through family or friends.

10. Review your financial plan regularly and make the necessary adjustments. As a family grows needs change. Begin saving for college and education from the early years. Teach the children never to take you for granted. Discuss things with your family members.

Use expert advice when needed so that you are always protected financially. Read websites such as that hosted by the Federal Trade Commission to protect America’s consumers: http://www.ftc.gov

The World Wide Web is a knowledge highway and brings financial advice to the finger tips. Keep abreast of money management, taxation, insurance, and property laws. Plan for retirement and be secure in the future.

titleTIC Securities Broker-Dealers Stand to Make Lots of Money/titlepThe TIC industry is entering into its eleventh year and expectations are high that growth in this industry will be appreciable because investor confidence is growing all across the board and volumes of transactions too are rapidly increasing and more and more new sponsors are also entering the market. In fact, it is believed that from the end of the year 2001 till the end of the previous year the deals struck accounted for as much as, it is believed, 3.7 billion dollars./ppThus, becoming a TIC Securities Broker/Dealer is surely going to prove to be a paying proposition. The fact of the matter is that many TIC sponsors are also choosing to structure their TIC investments as securities and though they may be regulated by SEC as well as by NASD, it throws open the doors for many more TIC securities Broker/dealers to earn hefty commissions from brokering or affecting such transactions./ppMany Challenges To Confront/ppSince 1031 TIC exchanges are most often handled by TIC securities Broker/dealers under the Securities and Exchange Commissions oversight, there are many challenges that the TIC securities Broker/dealers have to confront including not involving real estate professionals who only help in buying and selling real estate. Still, to protect one from the pitfalls of securities investments an investor dealing with TIC securities Broker/dealers must consider a few things./ppOne of the more important aspects that you will need to consider when dealing with TIC securities Broker/dealers is to learn about the percentage of business that the broker does with regard to TIC interests in the form of securities, and to be on the safe side, you should ensure that the TIC securities Broker/dealers are in fact mainly dealing with TIC exchanges in the form of securities and which must form the core of all their business dealings and which is not a side business for them./ppAlso, according to law courts in the US, an investment is deemed to be a security if the money earned by way of profits from investments comes through efforts made by others. So, if you are planning to use TIC securities Broker/dealers for your TIC exchange transactions, it is necessary that you first of all apply what is known as the Howey test to ensure that you dont end up selling through a real estate broker, even though the temptation to do so is high given the fact that real estate TIC interests have lower fees as compared to when selling securities./ppYour best bet with regard to dealing with TIC securities Broker/dealers is to follow the National Association of Securities Dealers notice that reviews the rules regarding broker-dealers when selling your TIC shares./ppGary K.
