This being part of an ongoing series of educational talks and workshops to several groups of dentists in the north, and which also takes us to North Wales next year. It was good to see familiar faces in attendance, as well as new, with specialist dental accountant Alan Suggett also chipping in with a slot on the value of Practices and the complexity of Incorporation. Part of what we covered was how volatile the markets have been this year, and also how inflation can play havoc with your wealth over time. It is sometimes not appreciated how, over time, inflation can really damage wealth creation and preservation, and with inflation very high at present it is worth looking at this in more detail. Of course, the context here is the real value of money. When we talk about the 'real return' on your money, it means the return that you get (or don't get) over inflation. So if inflation is, say, 5% pa, and you are getting a return in the bank of 3% pa before tax, and 2.cash flow]]> asset classes]]> cashflow forecast]]> assets]]> Inflation]]> Risk]]> Return]]> salaries]]> pensions]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Inflation-And-Your-Money---What-Is-Its-Real-Value-/3604690 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:55:09 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Inflation-And-Your-Money---What-Is-Its-Real-Value-/3604690 "Prior to the 2008 financial crisis, the eight central bank balance sheets were less than 15% the size of world stock markets and falling.

"Recently, the eight central banks balance sheets have spiked to 33% of world stock market capitalization. This has come about not by lender of last resort loans, but rather by QE expansion...

Bianco Research 01/25/2012 Indeed the Central Banks are now "printing money to a degree never seen in human history" Massive (Covert and Overt) QE it is. And Bernanke confirmed earlier this week that Massive QE would continue by stating that QE3 was "on the table", thus supporting a continuing "Risk-On" Rally.

This is even truer since the downturn of the economy. Sharp entrepreneurs may try to succeed but the changing industry can cost the inexperienced both time and money. Moreover, many feel hesitant to enter the real estate market. This is truly a shame because a number of people believe real estate now offers one of the best investment opportunities. Real estate mentoring can give those new to the market a chance to avoid these problems and learn the tricks of the trade from a competent and qualified professional. Using a mentor can prevent a variety of real estate pitfalls: * Unbalanced Portfolio- New investors have a tendency to overbalance their investment in real-estate. This is a common pitfall for those who attempt to flip their first house. As unexpected costs appear, the profit vanishes and the investor is left with nothing or worse, significant debt. Mentors can explain the most effective percentages to maintain in real estate. * Moving Too Quickly- The excitement of purchasing the first property can be overwhelming.Real Estate Mentoring]]> real estate training]]> real estate investing]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Succeeding-In-Properties-Through-Real-Estate-Mentoring/3599461 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:27:07 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Succeeding-In-Properties-Through-Real-Estate-Mentoring/3599461 gold bull market]]> gold bullion]]> gold investments]]> gold stocks]]> gold buying]]> gold share.]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Bond-Market-Believes-Inflation-Headed-Our-Way/3598325 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:06:07 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Bond-Market-Believes-Inflation-Headed-Our-Way/3598325 alternative investment]]> wine]]> shares]]> collecting]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Traditional-Vs-Alternative-Investments---Part-1/3598053 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 07:45:15 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Traditional-Vs-Alternative-Investments---Part-1/3598053 By Michael Lombardi, MBA AND nbsp; The bear market is doing an excellent job with investors AND rsquo; attitude towards the stock market.
