When it comes to investing large amounts of assets, an investment manager is the logical choice for most people. Most mutual fund companies or investment firms have investing counselors who are in charge of handling individual accounts or complete mutual fund groups.

They do this by controlling an investor’s portfolio either by direct action from the client or discretionary money management where the investor allows the investing manager to decide on what to do with his investing instruments. An investor is not just a private client but also refers to any agency that uses asset management investing as a key part of their portfolio.

For someone interesting in becoming an investment manager, it is best to have at least a bachelor’s degree in business. It is also necessary to complete at least one year of Chartered Financial Analyst Training if you are going to work for an investment firm. Also, it required to get registered and a license when working as an investing counselor. Continue reading ‘Investment Manager Facts’ »

Most people have got this in common. They don’t invest “much time.” I would like to quote Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad. “Since most people don’t invest much time, they lose their money.”

Robert also talks about the 90/10 rule of money. He explains that 90 percent of investors invest their money, but they don’t invest much time at all. So how do you find the “best way to invest money?” Check this out. The 10 percent that make 90 percent of the money have invested more time than they have money.

During the “Go-Go” Wall Street days of a few years ago, some companies got rich by being middle-men between 401k mutual funds and short sellers who wanted to borrow their stock.

The short sellers put up collateral, agreed to pay dividends, and paid a small amount of interest. These middle-men companies took a big slice of the earnings. The 401k funds got only a little, but did not complain because they thought it was essentially a risk free source of extra money.

“Are you, nuts?! You want me to risk part of my savings trading options? This whole covered calls idea sounds like just another one of those crazy options strategies that sound great, but don’t deliver in the end.”

My pal was a normally a mild-mannered sort – very contemplative, always weighing the consequences rationally before acting. In short, a logical thinker.

Imagine my dismay when that one phrase, “trading options”, triggered this unprecedented tirade. You’d think I’d insulted his family or something even worse. Continue reading ‘Covered Calls – The Easy Way to Make Money Trading Options?’ »

Gold is and has been one of the most recognized symbols of money. Epics have been written and great wars have been fought for the almost mysterious seventy-ninth element on the periodic table. From the ancient Mayans and Egyptians to the New York Stock Exchange, gold has a long tradition of setting the standard of monetary wealth. There is a reason its called the gold standard.

While you no longer have to head out to ‘cali-for-ni-a’ to mine the gold out of the mountains or sift through the rivers you can still invest in the longest and still highest acme of economic stability. Gold not only keeps its value it grows. In the last ten years the value of gold has raised by over three-hundred percent! There are a variety of ways of making this investment and I hope to illuminate a few of them.

The most common investment of gold is gold accounts. This is because many accounts are backed by gold with out the client knowing. A gold account means that as soon as you want to draw on that account you have the legal right to receive it by gold with no questions asked. Sometimes accounts are confused with statements. Statements are like accounts, but unlike accounts they can only be used for gold, whereas an account can be paid by gold or currency on your request.

The objective of investing is not to make a “big pile of money.” This idea may be startling to many investors. Certainly, making a fortune would be wonderful and most of us would love to have that “problem.” Yet this commonly held goal is rather vague. How much is a big pile, a lot, or even a boatload? What do we need the money for? How much is enough? What are we really trying to accomplish? Without examining these questions, we are pursuing a fantasy, not a clear objective.

In finance, it is generally accepted that there is a relationship between risk and return. If you take a small risk, you expect a small return. Think money market funds that currently yield less than one percent per year. On the other hand, if you are willing to take big risks, you should be able to expect greater returns. Some bank stocks, for instance, are up over 100 percent in just the last few months. However, riskier investments bring a wider spectrum of possible outcomes. You could end up losing more money in a riskier investment, even though you expect to receive a higher return in the future for the risk you have taken. So the time frame within which you need the money becomes very important. Continue reading ‘Why Do I Need a Big Pile of Money?’ »

People with money want a high ROI on their invested capital. What that entails differs if you are an investor rather than a small business owner. The small business owner needs to manage his business to achieve a high ROI. A savvy investor on the other hand wants to get as much gain from his or her investment as possible while minimizing risk. I am an investor.

One area where investors frequently make mistakes and find themselves getting burned is by ignoring the holding period return. While Jane and Joe might each earn a high ROI on a given stock trade – say 20% – did they both perform equally? Not if they held the stock for different periods of time. If Jane held her stock for two weeks and made 20% while Joe had to hold his for an entire year, who had the better investment performance?
