3 Great Examples of Aggressive Growth
ProFunds UltraBull Fund Inv (ULPIX) seeks daily investment results that correspond, prior to fees and expenses, to 200% of the performance of the S&P 500 Index. It was incepted in November 1997.
The fund uses a leverage to seek to double the daily performance of the benchmark index. Leverage is borrowing money or using credit to potentially earn higher returns. But along with the potential for higher returns, leverage also increases the risk of an investment. This aggressive growth fund usually invests a substantial portion of its assets in stock index futures contracts, options on stock index futures contracts and options on securities and stock indexes. It may also invest in securities that are expected to track the S&P 500. (more…)
Whether one is living in difficult or robust economic times, it is always important to have an investment strategy that includes relatively safe investments. One form of investment is known as Fixed Income Investments.
Fixed income investment refers to any type of investment that generates an average return. Investors loan their money to a government body, corporation, or financial institution and receive interest on a regular basis. Although the rate of return may not be high, there is comfort knowing the risk is minimal. If a person is seeking to invest their money where there is not a high risk, fixed income investments are usually the solution. (more…)

A bad economy spells OPPORTUNITY if you know how to invest in mutual funds. If you don’t it likely means loss of income and investment losses in your 401k and anyplace else you have money invested.
In any investment environment, even in recession and financial crisis, there are mutual funds that are good investments. Most folks don’t know this. Most mutual fund investors hold stock funds and pay little attention to them. Then, when bad economic times roll around, they complain because they are losing money. (more…)
One of the less known high rate investments is the binary options trade. With a typical payout in the sixty to seventy five percent (60-75%) range and a holding period in many cases of less than an hour it is among the highest yielding investments ever created. I can’t even begin to try to compute what the compounding rate of return on a binary option would be.
When Thinking of High Rate Investments, Do You Think of…
When people typically think of high rate investments they think of perhaps day trading forex on margin, or buying stock options, or perhaps buying penny stocks but in truth none of these investments can be traded with the consistency and yield of a binary option trade. The key to understanding what makes a binary option different is that all of the elements of the contract are fixed at purchase. The strike price equals the spot price at purchase. The expiration is at the top of the hour or the end of the day. The payout is a fixed percentage depending on the amount invested and whether the trade is a in the money or out of the money result. Nothing is left to chance except the binary nature of the result – in the money or out of the money. (more…)
Mutual funds are designed for average investors who wants to invest but do not want to select and manage investments like stocks and bonds on their own. In other words, they are the investment of choice for most people.
When you invest in them, professional money managers deal with all the details. You select the fund(s) you want to invest in and they do the rest for you. The average person can have a diversified and balanced portfolio of securities (investments) by simply owning shares of the appropriate mutual funds. (more…)
There’s a huge conflict of interest in the mutual fund industry. If you don’t understand what it is, you are likely to get badly hurt. If you own a mutual fund, then keep reading.
We’re going to review the conflict of interest that exists in the world of mutual funds and Wall Street financial planners.

Sector rotation is the practice of shifting investments through the course of a regular business cycle into sectors that are expected to perform the best in each phase of the business cycle. Within each phase of the business cycle there are different economic factors at work and some sectors will thrive while others will struggle. By investing in the strongest sectors of the current phase of each economic cycle, practitioners of sector rotation are able to significantly boost their investment returns. Instead of investing in the entire stock market index, why not invest in the top performing sectors and harvest greater investment gains? Not only are greater investment gains made, but the process automatically weeds out poor performing sectors of the economy.
The Leverage Effect of Sector Rotation
Over time, following a sector strategy in your investment portfolio will have a magical compounding leverage effect. Time is your greatest friend with this strategy as you will find that in the long run you will avoid making investments in poor performing areas of the economy. What this does is creates an upward bias to your long run performance results by avoiding any significant declines in your portfolio value. Over time, your portfolio does not have to work as hard as other portfolios fully exposed to the market index. (more…)
Understanding mutual fund ratings is another critical aspect of successfully investing in mutual funds. Using the ratings, you’ll be able to know how well any fund is performing. The mutual funds that are performing the best will get the top numerical ratings. You can well imagine what kind of impact these ratings have on the decisions investors make. Unfortunately, the ratings are hard to come by because of the small number of companies which offer them.
Even With Ratings, Proceed with Caution
Even though ratings on mutual funds are based on what experts feel will be the growth and performance of the fund in the future, you can’t just blindly rely on the ratings. There are just too many other factors that can also affect the way a mutual fund performs. A good indicator of how a fund will perform in the future is to study its past performance. However, there is no way to predict the future 100%. (more…)
