Most financial consultants when they speak of your investment portfolio mention a low beta as a positive attribute. In fact, you will hear many wealth managers stress the need of having a beta close to 1.00. Beta, in simple terms, is the measure of a stock’s or portfolio’s volatility as compared to the volatility of the stock market index as a whole. So if you owned a stock with a beta of 1....

When I tell people that self-reliance is the quickest path to achieve financial freedom when it comes to investing, many people look at me like I'm crazy. In fact, I know a lot of people that told me they handed their money over to a firm after trying to manage their own portfolio and sustaining significant losses.

7 Habits Of Highly Effective Investors By: J.S. Kim There are 7 habits that highly effective investors engage in regularly that separate themselves from the thundering sheep herd. These 7 habits, in fact, often lead to highly effective investors acting very differently from the average investor not because he or she believes in contrarian investing, but because the highly effective investor utilizes information that the average investor does not consider in making his or her investment decisions. It is not the behavior that ma... Tags: safest place to invest money, advanced wealth planning techniques, achieve financial freed
There is a huge myth that going to a great school and getting a great job will help you build wealth. In reality, it’s more likely to bury you in so much debt that you’ll be close to retirement by the time you’re debt free. When I graduated from college (we won’t say exactly how long ago that was!), I had friends that had already accumulated about U.S. $80,000 in debt. And for some of those friends that went to med school or law school a... Tags: safest place to invest money, advanced wealth planning techniques, achieve financial freed
In mid-2006, the global markets corrected a great deal. In the U.S., the Dow plummeted 4%, the Nasdaq about 6%, and the S&P 500 about 5% in a single week. European stocks posted their biggest drop since May 2003, and the FTSE 100 in the UK had its biggest two-day loss in 3 years. And that was just the beginning of very turbulent times in the global stock market that destroyed billions of dollars of cap...

How To Build Wealth During Turbulent Markets, Part II By: J.S. Kim I’m not really sure why but the private client wealth divisions of large investment firms by and large seem to ignore year after year investments in precious metals such as gold, silver, palladium, zinc and others. However, in turbulent times, this asset class is one of the most valuable. It’s not that the news doesn’t report on it. In fact, every night, in financial news reports, the closing price of commodities including gold is reported. However, at the end of the day, ver...

10 Reasons Why The Market-Correction Triggered Money Flow Into Dollar Denominated Bonds Is The Wrong Move By: J.S. Kim Many people think of any type of dollar denominated bonds, whether they are U.S. corporate bonds or U.S. Treasury bonds as a safe place to park your money for reliable sources of income stream. In fact, the U.S. Treasury Department on their own website, even tout U.S. Treasury Securities as a “great way to invest and save for the future.”
Sometimes, I’ll scan financial news on Reuters, Bloomberg, MSNBC and so on, not for information to make investment decisions, but just for ideas to write another blog entry. Occasionally I’ll find something to comment on. By most of the news that I find in the mass financial media is junk. Case in point. A couple of weeks ago, Chevron, Devon and Statoil announced the discovery of massive oil reserves, perhaps as much as 15 billi...

To Build Wealth, Don't Seek Higher Education By: J.S. Kim One of the most important determinants of building wealth during your educational life would have been a solid course in the history of education. Why? Because a solid understanding of the roots of institutional education would enable you to realize that most education puts you in debt at the same time as never teaching you how to build wealth. Henry Ford once stated that it was a good thing that people in America had no understanding of how banks truly worked because if they...

As of March, 2007, the major U.S. stock market index, the S&P 500 stands, at a notch above 12,000 stands below the 1,250 level it stood at seven and a half years ago. So over seven and a half years if your portfolio has tracked the S&P 500’s index as most U.S. professional money managers aim to do, you have slightly less money, in absolute terms th...

Why The Vast Majority Of Investment Professionals Are Not Trustworthy By: J.S. Kim A big story that made the rounds in the financial media last month was Jim Cramer’s (of the Street.com) statement that some hedge fund managers spread false rumors about a company to large trading desks and the media to drive a stock price lower. He said this practice is illegal, but easy to do "because the SEC [Securities Exchange Commission, the U.S. regulatory body] doesn't understand it." Furthermore, the extremely wealthy former hedge fund manager boasted, “What’s impor... Tags: investment industry fraud, safest places to invest money, learn how to invest, best ways t
