It is an undisputed fact that the dollar is weak. The trade deficit run up by the Bush administration in financing the war in Iraq and the sub-prime mortgage crisis are just two of the factors that have driven investors from the dollar to its baby sister, the Euro.

The onset of globalization brought about an increase in the international flow of goods, services, capital, information, and technology. No one can ever predict how this rapid influx can affect a country’s currency, stock markets, and other aspects of its economy.

Any type of investing is somewhat of a gamble. Unless you are doing strict savings in a savings account (secured with insurance by the federal government up to $100,000 per individual for each institution), or you are buying secured savings bonds that you hold to full maturity, you are not guaranteed that your original principal (the amount of money you originally invested) is going to be protected.
That said, those types of investments usually produce a much lower return ... - Are You Missing The Point Of Bond Investing? By :
If you take a look at any successful portfolio, you will see a mix of stocks and bonds. While perhaps not as sexy as their equity counterparts, the value and importance of bonds is often overlooked by the rags to riches or in many cases, the riches back to rags story of stocks.

The demand for world oil is increasing while world reserves are decreasing. This is a known fact. The current price of oil can certainly confirm this statement. Consensus also agrees that we will never see $25.00 oil again.

A 1031 tax exchange is a method used by property investors so that they may indefinitely defer tax liability on a property's sale. This is accomplished by transferring the rights to a property that one would like to sell to an intermediary, who then holds on to the sale proceeds and uses them to purchase a replacement in compliance with the rules set out in Section 1031.

Single family homes historically have the lowest capitalization rates (“cap rates”) of any property class. This is calculated by dividing the net operating income (assuming no mortgage) by the purchase price of the property. For instance, a $100,000 property that generated $9000 per year in net operating income would be classified as a “9 cap.” For single family homes, cap rates are in many cases in the range of 5 to 6% (sometimes less) with most of the return for investors c... - Investing: Getting Started By : Mark Walters

You have probably heard the saying "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail." This couldn't be more true in the world of trading.

Option pricing is a mystery to most traders. They struggle to comprehend terms like implied and historical volatility or intrinsic and time value, or the "Greeks" (Delta, vega, theta, gamma, rho…).

Individual investors are increasingly losing their voices (via proxy or in person) in crucial shareholder voting matters. The reason for this under-representation has nothing to do with anything as exciting as deceptive business practices or secret votes.

This lack of return creates many dilemmas for companies that wish to proceed with the voting process. After all, for voting to take place ... - How To Select An Investment Strategy By : Neal Brown

The idea of starting your very own business can be exciting, but the cost of getting it started can prevent you from being able to follow your dream.

Since its creation in 2002, the “euro” ----a Frankenstein creation that replaced the former currencies of 12 European countries like France, Germany and Italy--- has beaten the socks off the American greenback.

The Efficient Market Hypothesis has been under fire since Eugene Fame of the University Of Chicago Graduate School Of Business first suggested it back in the early 1960s.

It is only fair to emphasize that on the worst day the Stock Exchange ever saw, it was still just a market place, an arena where buyer and seller could transact their business.
The brokerage community, composed as it was of professionals, might have been expected to cast a sterner, more skeptical eye on the weakening economic conditions so falsely reflected in the market's soaring prices, but there were few enough, in truth, who smelled danger in the spring air of 1929.

A question that a lot of investors ask is whether they should aim for capital appreciation or a nice dividend.
With Forex this question does not arise as capital gain is the main objective.
A fat dividend and a high yield which persuades investors that the stock has been undervalued may well create a small stampede that boosts the price and thereby reduces the yield to more conventional levels.
It is also conceivable, however, that one could wait a discouragingly lon... - Successful Investing For Income In Shares Or Forex By : Gerald Mason
Investment for income is generally a long-term proposition. It implies stability and it makes particularly good sense for people who do not expect to become market experts or security analysts.
In fact, there are respected authorities who state flatly that the investor who seeks anything more than income from securities must be classed as a speculator, a risky role to play for any but the most sure-footed professional.
Long term, it should be noted, does not mean foreve... - Comparing The Forex With Investing In Insurance By : Gerald Mason
Investing in Forex is more risky but the gains that can be achieved are a lot larger than insurance, although insurance is a very good long term investment.

When you buy shares, do not buy just one stock. Buy four or five at least. The most sophisticated professional can often do no better than pick seven winners out of ten selected. Suppose he had bought only the wrong three that he thought were right at the time he bought them!
When you invest in currencies on the Forex be just as cautious.
This is good way to limit our losses and help us stand a better chance of making a good return on our money in the long run.

The key is not to follow the herd, stop listening to the investment talking heads, and to learn an investment system and then be unwaveringly courageous in apply... - Why The U.S. Fed's 0.50% Rate Cut Won't Save The U.S. Markets By : J.S.
