Growing up at Lake Hopatcong in Northwest Jersey, the most popular entertainment around was the rickety old Roller Coaster at Bertrand Island Park. The excitement would build as you ascended the first peak, anticipating the breathtaking plunge; eyes wide open (or shut), screaming from the thrill with a white-knuckled grip on either the safety bar or your date’s hand, as she pretended to share your fear. Three times through the process, hoarse at the finish, but ready for more!

The “shock” market is the adult version of childhood thrill rides, but with no predictable beginning or end, and no way of gauging the size or duration of the peaks and valleys. This is one of the very few things that can actually be known about The Market, security groups, and sectors. With individual securities, the ride’s direction may end abruptly at any point along the track, positive or negative! An appreciation of this admitted over-simplification is vital to your financial future… the temporary distress (or euphoria) in your portfolio Market Value is not. The thrill (remember?) is in the plunge; the fear should be building up during the ascent.

Wall Street analysts and investment commentators squander millions of words in their daily explanations for, every movement, every turn, and every bump along the ride. Many insult our intelligence with predictions of future rallies and corrections… but why? None of this microanalysis can provide a reliable answer to the question you ask yourself most frequently: What’s going to happen next? Will those (pick a sector) companies survive? Will the market rebound to new highs, or sink even lower?

The solution is to operate your investment program within this known, volatile and unpredictable, thrill-ride environment that is the reality of investing. The whys, wherefores, and whens being much less important than the decision-making model you put into place to deal with them. What you do next is always in your hands (or heads) alone and you should be prepared to do something nearly every day. Doing nothing must be a decision to do nothing. A realistic, thrill-ride, decision-making model need not be thrilling at all, but it must include these two action decisions:

(1) Buy decisions that are made along the downward path of the cars as they glide, tumble, or free-fall on the (undefined by calendar partition) track of time. It’s probably smarter to ride in the ones that provide warranty protection in the form of dividend payments, a history of profitability, a low P/E, and high fundamental quality ratings. Even such stalwarts, in spite of their intrinsic value, will occasionally become available at fire-sale prices; so don’t even think of buying them until they have started down the hill by at least 20%. As every experienced Storm Runner enthusiast knows, not all of the hills are steep, and many will involve a variety of twists and turns before the next ascent. So don’t do your buying all at once, shop slowly, diversify properly, and be patient… the ride has no reliable schedule.

In Your Money and Your Brain, financial columnist Jason Zweig observes that Wall Street obsesses on price while it ignores value. This is as deep as it is simple, and of nearly Eureka proportions. Price changes are more a function of knee-jerk reactions to current events. Value is a whole ‘nuther issue, that rarely changes on a day-to-day basis!

(2) Sell decisions, therefore, just have to be made during the ascent, because unlike the local amusement park Vortex, the top of the hill is covered with darkening clouds of speculation as the altitude numbers accelerate. The Sell trigger (The single most important investment thought that people fail to think about most frequently.) must be determined carefully to assure that it is always a reasonable number. It also must be thought about in profit-taking, not loss-accepting, terms. Here, again, there is no need to think about thrill-ride numbers… there’s no such thing as a bad profit (except in the purgatory of hindsight). On the way up, smaller numbers work well so long as buying opportunities are plentiful. Three quick fives are better than a long-term ten, but never look for more than ten and you will always have plenty of spending money when this particular ascent unravels, as they always do. It’s always OK to take less, and never allow the greed monster to make you hold out for more. Oh, one other thing. Don’t delay the profit taking because the buy list has shortened. The shorter it gets, the closer the top of the hill.

The Investor’s Creed (Google it) summarizes this operating system in terms of available portfolio “smart cash”. During Stock Market rallies, cash should build up in your portfolio because there are simply more opportunities for profit taking than there are new lower priced investment opportunities. Cash will dry up during corrections because new opportunities abound, AND, because prices fall while value remains intact. Consequently, it is often wise to add shares to value stock positions (and dollars to investment portfolios) when it seems really stupid to do so! Interestingly, interest rate sensitive securities can be viewed in the same manner, further supporting the use of CEFs for the Income portion of the portfolio. When the going gets tough, the numbers get ugly, and the tough go shopping for under-priced values.

If you can make yourself operate your portfolios in this manner, your long run investment success will become child’s play and the Wall Street Medusa will become your favorite ride!

The New & Revised Edition of “Brainwashing” is now available.

FDI stands for Foreign Direct Investment, a component of a country’s national financial accounts. Foreign direct investment is investment of foreign assets into domestic structures, equipment, and organizations. Foreign direct investment is thought to be more useful to a country than investments in the equity of its companies because equity investments are potentially “hot money” which can leave at the first sign of trouble, whereas FDI is durable and generally useful whether things go well or badly

The resilience of foreign direct investment during financial crises may lead many developing countries to regard it as the private capital inflow of choice. Although there is substantial evidence that such investment benefits host countries, they should assess its potential impact carefully and realistically

Economists tend to favor the free flow of capital across national borders because it allows capital to seek out the highest rate of return. Unrestricted capital flows may also offer several other advantages. First, international flows of capital reduce the risk faced by owners of capital by allowing them to diversify their lending and investment. Second, the global integration of capital markets can contribute to the spread of best practices in corporate governance, accounting rules, and legal traditions. Third, the global mobility of capital limits the ability of governments to pursue bad policies.

In addition to these advantages, which in principle apply to all kinds of private capital inflows,the gains to host countries from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) can take several other forms:

• FDI allows the transfer of technology—particularly in the form of new varieties of capital inputs—that cannot be achieved through financial investments or trade in goods and services. FDI can also promote competition in the domestic input market.

• Recipients of FDI often gain employee training in the course of operating the new businesses, which contributes to human capital development in the host country.

• Profits generated by FDI contribute to corporate tax revenues in the host country.

Foreign Direct Investment ( FDI) versus other flows

Despite the strong theoretical case for the advantages of free capital flows, the conventional wisdom now seems to be that many private capital flows pose countervailing risks. many host countries, even when they are in favor of capital inflows, view international debt flows, especially of the short-term variety, as “bad cholestero.

In contrast, FDI is viewed as “good cholesterol” because it can confer the benefits enumerated earlier. An additional benefit is that FDI is thought to be “bolted down and cannot leave so easily at the first sign of trouble.” Unlike short-term debt, direct investments in a country are immediately repriced in the event of a crisis.

Recent evidence

To what extent is there empirical support for such claims of the beneficial impact of Foreign Direct Investment?

A comprehensive study by Bosworth and Collins (1999) provides evidence on the effect of capital inflows on domestic investment for 58 developing countries during 1978-95. The sample covers nearly all of Latin America and Asia, as well as many countries in Africa. The authors distinguish among three types of inflows: Foreign Direct Investment, portfolio investment, and other financial flows (primarily bank loans).

Countries should concentrate on improving the environment for investment and the functioning of markets. They are likely to be rewarded with increasingly efficient overall investment as well as with more capital inflows.” Although it is very likely that FDI is higher, as a share of capital inflows, where domestic policies and institutions are weak, this cannot be regarded as a criticism of Foreign Direct Investment per se. Indeed, without it, the host countries could well be much poorer.

Fire sales, adverse selection, and leverage. Foreign Direct Investment http://korea.ixs.net/foreign-direct-investment.aspx is not only a transfer of ownership from domestic to foreign residents but also a mechanism that makes it possible for foreign investors to exercise management and control over host country firms—that is, it is a corporate governance mechanism. The transfer of control may not always benefit the host country because of the circumstances under which it occurs, problems of adverse selection, or excessive leverage.

Both economic theory and recent empirical evidence suggest that Foreign Direct Investment has a beneficial impact on developing host countries. But recent work also points to some potential risks: it can be reversed through financial transactions; it can be excessive owing to adverse selection and fire sales; its benefits can be limited by leverage; and a high share of Foreign Direct Investment in a country’s total capital inflows may reflect its institutions’ weakness rather than their strength. Though the empirical relevance of some of these sources of risk remains to be demonstrated, the potential risks do appear to make a case for taking a nuanced view of the likely effects of Foreign Direct Investment. Policy recommendations for developing countries should focus on improving the investment climate for all kinds of capital, domestic as well as foreign.

The capital gains rate for certain taxpayers will drop to 0% for tax years 2008 through 2010. How can you take advantage of this 0% capital gains rate?

First, let’s review the capital gains rate in general.

Gains from sales of personal investments held for more than 12 months generally are taxed at the capital gains rate which is 5% or 15%. The 5% capital gains rate is available only to those whose ordinary income is taxed at 15% or less. The 15% capital gains rate will remain effective through 12/31/10 (barring any changes to the law prior to that time). The 5% capital gains rate will continue through 12/31/07; then the rate drops to 0% for tax years 2008 through 2010.

The 15% income tax brackets will be higher in 2008 as the IRS makes its annual adjustment for inflation, which will be announced later this year. However, to get an idea of who may qualify for the 15% and under brackets, currently in 2007 a married couple filing jointly must have taxable income (which remember is all of the taxpayer’s income less their itemized deductions) of no more than $61,300; and for a taxpayer with a filing status as single, the cutoff is $30,650.

Next, let’s review what is a capital gain.

The reduced rates for long-term capital gains generally apply to the “adjusted net capital gains”, which include net long-term capital gains (the excess of long-term capital gains over long-term capital losses) less any net short-term capital loss (the excess of short-term capital losses over short-term capital gains). This excludes sales of collectibles (such as art work), qualified small business stock (also known as section 1202 stock), and unrecaptured 1250 gains (which result from the sale of depreciable real property). These gains also include qualified dividend income (”QDI”), dividends from domestic corporations that qualify for the 15% tax rate. For most taxpayers the adjusted net capital gains is merely the sum of net long-term capital gains from real estate, stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, plus any QDI.

Now, let’s review how to determine which capital gains rate is used.

In order to find out which capital gains rate (5% or 15%) a taxpayer’s gains are subject to, begin with taxable income and then subtract the capital gains received during the tax year. Subtract the difference from the maximum tax bracket amount (e.g., $61,300 or $30,650). The result is the amount of capital gains subject to the 5% rate (or 0% rate in 2008), with the remainder subject to the 15% rate.

Of course, if taxable income without capital gains is greater then the taxpayer’s 15% ordinary tax bracket, then all of the capital gains are taxed at the 15% rate. Conversely, if taxable income including capital gains is less than or equal to the taxpayer’s 15% ordinary tax bracket, then all of the capital gains are taxed at the 5% (or 0% in 2008) rate.

Let’s take a look at a few examples of how the calculations work.

1. Suppose a taxpayer filing under the “married filing jointly” status has total ordinary income of $36,100 included in taxable income plus adjusted net capital gain income (ANCGI) of $25,000 for a total taxable income of $61,100. Since taxable income is less than the cutoff of $61,300 (see above), all of the ANCGI is taxed at the 5% rate for 2007, and would be taxed at 0% if they had this income in 2008, 2009 or 2010.

2. Suppose, instead, that the taxpayer filing under the ” married filing jointly ” status has total ordinary income of $65,000, and ANCGI of $35,000, for a total taxable income of $100,000. Since the ordinary portion of the taxable income is greater than the cutoff for the lower tax bracket, all of the ANCGI is taxed at the 15% rate.

3. Finally, let’s say the taxpayer filing under the “married filing jointly” status has ordinary income of $43,100, and ANCGI of $60,000, for total taxable income of $103,100. Since ordinary income is less than the maximum taxed in the 15% regular tax bracket, part of the capital gains will be taxed at 5% (0% for 2008). The amount taxed in the lower bracket is $18,200 ($61,300 - 43,100). The remaining capital gains of $41,800 [$60,000 - 18,200] are taxed at the 15% rate.

Let’s go over the cautions to consider in your planning.

Caution #1: The kiddie tax

When Congress first passed the bill to lower the capital gains rates, there was a huge loophole. Taxpayers could gift appreciated stocks and mutual funds to their teenage children, who are usually in a low tax bracket. Then the teenagers could sell the investments at the 0% rate in 2008 and pay no tax on the gains. Lawmakers took exception to this planning, noting that the intent of the bill was to allow retirees to pay a lower rate on investments they may need to cash out.

In response, Congress broadened the “kiddie tax”, which kicks in when a child’s investment income (such as interest and capital gains) exceeds a certain level. This investment income is then taxed at the parents’ top marginal rate. Currently, that level is at $1,700, so any investment income received by children in excess of $1,700 is taxed at their parents’ tax rate. In the past, the kiddie tax applied to children under the age of 14. It has now been raised to include those younger than 19 and up to 24 years old if the child is a full-time student.

Caution #2: AMT

Regardless of the potential benefits possible from the favorable capital gains rates, be aware that the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) may eliminate any potential benefit. As a taxpayer “cashes” out investments to take advantage of the favorable rates, the additional income, even if qualifying for lower tax rates, could push the taxpayer’s overall income into a higher bracket, which could trigger the AMT and effectively negate the benefits of the lower capital gains rates. Seem complicated? It is. We strongly recommend you review all AMT and capital gains issues with your CPA/Tax Coach.

What are the planning opportunities? Who stands to benefit the most from the reduced capital gains tax rate?

Adults who provide financial support to their aging or retiring low-income parents. Gifting appreciated capital assets such as stocks or bonds instead of cash, can be a good way to provide them with extra income. Taxpayers can gift up to $12,000 a year per person with no gift-tax consequences. If married, a taxpayer and spouse may give up to $24,000.

Retirees with investment accounts. The capital gains breaks do not affect the withdrawals from tax-deferred retirement savings plans (i.e., IRA’s). But if the taxpayer is retired (retiring) and owns stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, the 2008 tax year may be the time to sell.

Secured personal loans have a history that dates back to centuries before the advent of modern banks and financial institutions. Even in the ancient times, borrowers were able to draw funds only when the lender was given rights to certain assets. Though a vast change is visible in the lending policy today, the popularity of secured personal loans sees no decline. Though homeowners do have the option to take unsecured personal loans, a majority of the group prefers to have loans the secured way.

Mere apprehension of losing homes through repossession fails to motivate borrowers to change loyalties. At least borrowers who have been regular in credit transactions or had not more than one or two incidences of bad credit will not put their weight for loans without collateral. Loans without collateral or unsecured personal loans do not claim a direct charge on the borrower’s home, but compensate the risk with a very high rate of interest and equally strict terms. Therefore, while the safety of home is ensured, the cost of loan rockets up.

It is obvious that the cost of secured personal loan is lesser because of the lower interest rates and less strict terms. When the loan comes over for repayment, secured personal loans will be easier to repay because of lower cost involved.

The intention of loan providers who try to influence the decision of borrowers to take secured personal loans is often viewed disapprovingly. Lenders prefer secured personal loans because of the lower degree of risk placed by them. People interpret this as the lenders eye on their home. Lenders are in no way interested in repossessing house or any other asset kept as collateral. Since, repossession, maintenance and liquidation put a huge cost on the lender, he would better allow the borrower to himself repay the loan provided. Only in the most extreme of cases when the loan appears to become a bad debt, lenders undertake to repossess collateral.

Consequently, the fears regarding secured personal loans are misplaced.

Advantages of secured personal loans are numerous. Principal among them is the treatment meted out to borrowers who opt for secured personal loans. The preference that the secured personal loan borrowers enjoy is well known. Since the fate of an asset of theirs is on stake through collateral, not many borrowers would take the step to be irregular in repayments. Consequently, the risk involved in secured personal loans is lower. Leniency in other terms is the result of the reduction in risk.

Interest rate, for instance, is the lowest in secured personal loan. Typical APR ranges from 6% to 25%. The interest rate chargeable on any other loan will be much higher. The asset pledged towards collateral helps determine the APR that the borrower has to pay. Home and real estate property commands the lowest APR. Automobiles and title to motor vehicles too command a good interest rate, albeit higher than in homes.

The collateral offered also determines the amount that can be had through secured personal loan. Home presents the safest bet for lenders. Thus, maximum amount will be lent against home. As a rule, the largest amount is offered through secured personal loan . When secured personal loans is offered against home, it is the equity that decides the amount of loan offered. Thus, borrowers planning to use the loan proceeds to huge expense heads like debt consolidation, home improvement and car purchase will be benefited more through a secured personal loan.

Though the repayment options presented to the borrowers of secured personal loans are no different from that available to the unsecured loans borrowers, repayment is a relatively smoother journey for the former category of borrowers. Most lenders will make the terms of repayment flexible enough to suit borrowers. Some loan providers have deployed experts to educate borrowers about the various options that are available to them for loan repayment. The method used for disbursal of loan will be suggested after gaining a proper knowledge of the borrowers financial condition. A proper study indicates if the borrowers’ finances will be able to support the repayment method and the loan itself.

Secured personal loan  do have a few drawbacks. Proper decisions and accurate planning on secured personal loan  however minimise the impact produced by these drawbacks.

Mark Twain’s oft heard adage – ‘buy land, they’re not making it anymore’ has been indirectly taken to heart by investors in the UK scouring the markets for the best investment. That is to say that in relation to the boom in the buy-to-let property market it is not the bricks and mortar which rises in value, but the underlying UK land on which the development sits. Indeed, the value of bricks and mortar deteriorates over time, so in some senses a UK property market investment is actually a UK land investment more than anything else.

In this article we will look not at the relative merits of a land investment vis-à-vis a property market investment but at whether the two (ie direct land investment versus indirect land investment) complement each other in an investment portfolio. The former subject is too extensive to discuss here and, at any rate, since many people already have property market assets the pertinent question for them is this: ‘does investment land complement property market holdings or is each investment opportunity best pursued in isolation?’.

Of course much depends on what type of investment land is being considered. For instance, self-build land investment is a natural bed-fellow of buy-to-let property market investment since it is common for investors to develop small plots of UK land and then retain ownership in order to earn rent from the resulting property. However, if your idea of the best investment is not one which involves buying land with planning permission or buying land without planning permission and then developing it out, there are land investment alternatives.

One such is buying land on a professional property and development project. This is sometimes known as Site Assembly land investment and often appeals to the investor for whom self-build land investment is not suitable. The growing market for investment land is being in large part serviced by Site Assembly investment land because, relatively speaking, the number of people investing in land is growing but only a small proportion have the necessary skills and/or appetite for self-build land investment.

With this in mind, we can refine the original question thus: ‘does Site Assembly land investment complement buy-to-let property market investment or is each investment opportunity best pursued in isolation?’ (since Site Assembly land investment is becoming more common).

The key considerations in land investment, and in fact any investment, are threefold:

-Risk (what is the chance of gaining/losing)

-Term (how long is the investment for?)

-Liquidity (how easy is it to exit the investment?)

These criteria will help elucidate whether buy-to-let property market investments and investment land on a Site Assembly project are complementary. In investment terms (ie land investment and otherwise), ‘complementary assets’ are those that provide diversity, so the Risk, Term and Liquidity should be different in each case.

Let’s see:

Buy-to-let property market investment

-Risk: Low

-Term: Long

-Liquidity: High

Site Assembly land investment

-Risk: Medium

-Term: Medium

-Liquidity Low

Although these are generalisations, the above broadly reflect the true nature of buy-to-let property market investment and Site Assembly land investment. Naturally, some buy-to-let property market investments can be medium term just as some Site Assembly land investment projects offer moderate or even high liquidity but generally speaking the information above holds true.

It is therefore reasonable to conclude, working from the premise that complementary investment assets display different profiles (Risk, Term and Liquidity), that Site Assembly land investment and buy-to-let property market investment do complement one another in a portfolio.

This article has not attempted to assess the extent to which investment land is superior to property market investments (or vice-versa). What it has attempted is to consider the growing popularity of investing in land (especially on an existing development projects) and whether such a venture is compatible with a buy-to-let property market investment portfolio.

Rational analysis, as set-out above, suggests that Site Assembly land investment and buy-to-let property market investment are complementary.

How can so many be so ignorant about something so important? Do ppl acutally think that that the gov’t is going to give them 800 bucks; do they not realize that they have to pay it back on next years income tax? Or at least have that deducted from their refund. How can so many fall for the Payday loan scams? How did so many get into ARM mortgages? Why don’t ppl educate themselves about personal finance?

In a society where bigger is thought of to be better (homes, cars, jewelry, etc.), images of celebrities and athletes are thown at us in every media outlet, and each person is trying to out-do the next, it is very easy to get caught up in the hype of images.  However, the one thing that gets lost in all of this is the fact that as a whole, this country is doing a terrible job at managing their money. 

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the personal saving rate in the country was below 1% of disposable personal income during the first quarter of 2008.  In fact, the personal saving rate has not crossed the 3% level since the third quarter of 2001.

For those who don’t know, disposable income is simply your gross income less income taxes withheld (ie: federal, FICA, medicare, state, local taxes).  This is not to be confused with discretionary income, which is the same figure less cost of living expenses (housing, food, utilities, transportation, insurances, etc.)  So, in essence, what this means is that people are saving less than one cent of every after-tax dollar they make.  Maybe it would have more impact if it were phrased another way: Americans are spending over 99% of their after-tax income!  Scary thought, huh?

With the advent of internet banks that pay significantly more than traditional versions , electronic transfers between institutions, and the high rate of computer ownership it is difficult to imagine what possible reason there could be to spend nearly all of one’s income.  Of course, there are necessities such as food, shelter (including certain  utilities), insurance/healthcare but if just those few expenses drain your paychecks each month, there is certainly something wrong. 

At some point in life, each and every person needs to look at their financial picture and really analyze their standing.  Everyone has places in which to cut spending in order to start building their savings.  Changes don’t need to be drastic such as cutting out meat from one’s diet, or living by candlelight as opposed to electricity, but should start someplace.  Something such as the top-level internet service or cable/satellite could be reduced to a lower-level tier, getting rid of a land-line phone and using a cell phone exclusively if you have minutes remaining each month, shopping around for cheaper or bundled insurance (even raising deductibles), or any other non-essential luxury that you can do without can be limited or perhaps eliminated completely.

Let’s face it, nobody enjoys living paycheck to paycheck, but the problem is that many people cannot do without their “status” even at the risk of spending themselves into bankruptcy.  But until people start to care more about what goes on in their own lives, and less about what others are do or how others live, the cycle of overspending and overlooking the importance of saving will continue.

Among the various types of loans available in the market, the most popular one is personal loan that is borrowed by a person for a stipulated period of time and hence is paid in full in installments with interest, until the loan repayment is not complete. Personal loans are therefore also known as installment loans.

A person credits a personal loan for variety of reasons and the most prominent one for seeking a loan, is home improvement or debt consolidation; to buy a big commodity as a house hold item or planning a trip for one’s family. So a personal loan can bring all your instant need for the cash into reality and fulfill the demands kept for long on pending due to insufficient funds.

The other benefit for personal loans is that you can have them instantly now- a- days online; these loans with ample flexibility in most of the cases are generally approved within 24 hours after applying for them. Under the personal loans there is a short-term personal loan that is a quick method to arrange cash advance loan for a number of requirement and needs. While judging the criteria for approving a loan, a lending agency looks into the proper occupation and steady income source and capacity to repay loan within the scheduled period into an applicant’s application.

There are two types of Short term personal loans that a person can secure from loan lending agency in particular, thus the short term personal loans provided on the basis of availability and security are secured and unsecured short term personal loans. In a secured short term personal loans you are expected to register one of your assists as collateral to provide you with short term personal loan at lower rate of interest and flexible payment option. In the unsecured short term personal loan there no collateral is required for the loans, instead a lender levies higher rate of interest in order to cover up risks in this type of loan. Keeping other factors aside the rate of interest for short term personal loan is generally kept higher in comparison to other types of loans.

However, amount for short term personal loan is quite debated between different lending agencies. Generally, the maximum amount is qualified on the basis of an applicant’s capacity to repay the loan and the rate of interest is generally kept around 8 percent per annum. There are also a number of companies that provide short term personal loan for variety of requirements like auto and other loans.

Finally, you can have number of advantages for short term personal loans as it helps you to arrange substantial amount of loan for your entire immediate money needs.
