FINANCE SMARTS

Money is not the only thing that can bring you 100% return of investment if you place it on the right deal. The profit can be much bigger than 100% if you give away a small portion of what you earn or know, contributing to something positive for other people.

Easy to give when you are rich.

When talking about giving, we automatically think about rich individuals donating money to help suffering people in the world. They can afford it and will still have a good portion left after the donation.

Almost all rich people are doing some kind of charity and we accept it as something normal. What we don’t know is that they gave their money, knowledge or skills away long before they got rich and the act of giving became the reason why they got rich.

A culture where giving is a must.

I am living on a small South Pacific island called Samoa where people give all the time. Overseas visitors picture a South Pacific island as a paradise, not only because of the natural beauty. The giving attitude of the people is also something extraordinary for a western mind.

I have always been surprised about how people could survive with so little and still have so much without doing very much.

Today my answer is clear. Everyone share whatever they have with each other and never suffer any shortage of the vital things in life.

Give and you shall receive.

I am sure that you have heard these words before but did you really understand the meaning of it?

It is a universal law that we can’t ignore. To further the progress of humanity, we are meant to share our knowledge and experiences with other people to develop ourselves and our society.

If we kept all our knowledge for ourselves, not much progress would be done. When talking about progress and knowledge it is easy to understand but when we consider giving money we have a problem.

Money is a form of energy that doesn’t get less when given away. The money energy will multiply and grow in ways you never knew was possible.

This is the secret the rich people knew long before they got rich. Some had it as a natural instinct and others had to learn it. The result was the same.

What is your gift?

Every person has something to give or contribute to other people. It doesn’t matter if it is an item, knowledge, skill or money.

To make this world progress in a positive and healthy way you must make your contribution. Start using what you have to make a positive change in the life of other people. Keep doing it and your small investment will grow by the day to something much larger than you thought would be possible.

When you get rich, you have an even greater power to continue spreading the message of the effects of giving.

It’s the dream for most people that you talk to. They want to know the quickest way possible to make more money and to achieve financial success and independence in their lives. The reasoning is usually because they want to be able to enjoy their lives instead of having to work 60 hours a week just to make ends meet. This way of life is no good. I should know. I did it for more than 3 years.

But, you can break out of that cycle of all work and no play and actually increase your income in the process.

How?

By learning how to change your ways of thinking so that the opportunities start to find you. This is the easiest way to get rich and to increase your income. But, you must remember that you have to play by the rules of the economy. That means you cannot just ant to be given money for nothing. You have to provide something in exchange for it.

MONEY FOR NOTHING DOES NOT EXIST!

Study anyone who has attained wealth and you will see it was a result of certain actions that they took and certain opportunities that they followed. If you hold on to the idea that you can make money with nothing to exchange for it, you will not increase your cash flow or income at all.

You will just keep wishing for financial success but it will not find you. Letting go of this idea is the first step towards getting rich.

Would you like to learn more about how you can create wealth much easier?

Fight or flight?

Investors are choosing the latter.

Dare I say it, but after months of runaway markets and profits, some complacency had set in. But the tide is turning against them. Consider…

The euro is crumbling. American stocks are following suit, with another spirit-crushing plunge on Thursday. Even the high-flying, perennial source of optimism – the Chinese stock market – is under assault. It’s officially entered bear market territory, as prices recently dropped 23.3% below the November 2009 high.

The headwind has rocked investors back on their heels a bit and they’re resorting to the flight instinct – into cash and (gasp) U.S. Treasuries, of all assets.

I don’t recommend you join them. Instead, step up to buy Japanese small-cap stocks. Here’s why…

Value Investing: Never En-Vogue, But Great During Turbulence

In Tuesday’s column, my colleague, Alexander Green, discussed the value investing concept. In it, he noted the work of Ben Graham and David Dodd, who argue that their method of value investing not only leads to higher returns, but also provides a “margin of safety.”

However, insisting on a “margin of safety” doesn’t simply mean fleeing into cash. That strategy doesn’t pay – especially now. The average savings account yields a paltry 0.87%, according to Bankrate.com. Not to mention, bailing into cash requires knowing precisely when to get back into the market, which is impossible. We don’t try to time the market – and neither should you.

Instead, keep this in mind: Deep value investments always perform best in the long run, based on three significant valuations…

On a price-to-earnings basis, the cheapest stocks return 16.2% per year, compared to 6.9% for the most expensive and popular stocks (i.e. – “glamour” stocks). On a price-to-book basis, the cheapest stocks return 16% per year, compared to 8% for glamour stocks. On a price-to-cash flow basis, the cheapest stocks return 17% per year, compared to 8% for glamour stocks.

If you’re a pessimist, or non-believer, you can check out all the hard data behind these figures at The Brandes Institute.)

Now let me tell you how Japanese small-cap stocks fit into the equation…

Why Japanese Small Caps Are The Cheapest

Japanese small-cap stocks are some of the cheapest in the world right now…

They’re trading at an historically low average price-to-book ratio of 0.86 – a 60% discount to the S&P 500. On a price-to-sales ratio basis, they’re trading at a 67% discount to the S&P 500. Even more compelling, you can find more of Ben Graham’s favorite investments – net-net stocks – in Japan than any other country in the world. I’m talking about companies that trade below their liquidation values. While the Nikkei languished for two decades, Japanese net-net stocks returned over 50%. You could have made a killing in Japan during its lost decades. All you had to do was focus on value stocks.

These deep value investments boast an even more impressive long-term track record than run-of-the-mill value stocks. They returned an average of 35% per year since 1985.

And it’s not hard to understand why. After all, if I offered to sell you a 100-dollar bill for 50 bucks, you’d jump at the opportunity. Cash is cash. It has a known value.

And that’s what’s going on in Japan at the moment. Hundreds of stocks are trading at a price-to-book value below one. And since Japanese firms love to stockpile cash, this book value is “hard” – mostly in cash.

But bargains like this don’t last forever. It’s only a matter of time before investors scoop them up…

The Rodney Dangerfield of The Investment World

Japan is like the Rodney Dangerfield of the investment world – it gets no respect.

Of course, its economy and stock market hasn’t done much to garner a lot of respect over the past two decades. But right now, it’s clearly the cheapest and safest country to invest in. There just isn’t much more room for these stocks to fall.

However, there are plenty of reasons for them to jump higher…

Improving GDP numbers. New leadership committed to economic reforms. Recovering domestic demand. A projected 64% jump in corporate profits.

As one fund manager reveals, “Investors still don’t like Japan, but there is gentle interest and sentiment is changing.”

Here’s a newsflash, though: The investors with that change of heart aren’t lightweights.

We’re talking about big names like Warren Buffett. He recently confessed that he “would like to make a large acquisition in Japan.” And the famed Tweedy Browne Global Value Fund (TBGVX) just scooped up two unnamed Japanese micro-caps because the bargains were irresistible.

Such moves by these mavens often precede massive shifts in sentiment. So don’t get caught off guard. The margin of safety in Japanese small-cap stocks is significant. So is the upside potential.

For tips on how to play this trend, check out another column of mine on Japanese small cap stocks, plus Alexander Green’s tips on how to invest in Japan’s economic revival.

Good (and safe) investing,

Wealthy people think differently. While the way they attract wealth varies, many wealth attraction experts utilize 3 powerful techniques—affirmations, visualizations, and meditation—to help create abundance. But what are these techniques? They’re not typically taught in business school, and they’re definitely not the kind of thing you learned in kindergarten. Here’s your guide to these easy attraction wealth strategies:

What’s a Wealth Affirmation?

This wealth attraction technique is an excellent first step in creating any wealth-building plan. An affirmation is a statement of some truth about yourself. Wealth affirmations might include statements like, “I attract money like a magnet attracts nails” or “I will earn enough money to pay off my mortgage early.” Most attraction wealth experts recommend writing down or reciting affirmations regularly. If you write them down, post them in a spot where you’ll see them often, such on your desk or next to the telephone.

What are Wealth Visualizations?

Visualizations are much like daydreams, except the wealth visualization has a purpose: to attract wealth. When you have a few moments to yourself—sitting in traffic or waiting for the children to get home from school—imagine yourself doing something fabulously wealthy. You might picture yourself relaxing at an exclusive beach spa or paying off your mom’s house. Whatever it is, imagine your wealth visualization often. This technique puts your mind into the perfect place, ready to attract wealth and abundance.

What is a Wealth Meditation?

This is the powerhouse of techniques for attracting wealth. For eons, spiritual leaders have used and taught meditation as a way to fundamentally change the way practitioners think. That same power can be used for wealth attraction. To practice wealth meditations, simply find an out-of-the-way spot. During that time, you’ll focus your thoughts, emotions, and energy on one idea: attracting wealth into your life.

You might, for example, choose a wealth visualization that includes opening an envelope containing the biggest check you can imagine. A wealth meditation might also include reciting an affirmation over and over again. This allows you to focus the mind on that single powerful thought, making the subconscious more receptive to making the thought a reality.

Who Successfully Uses These Techniques?

Thousands of people have used affirmations, visualization and meditation to attract wealth and abundance. One way to find others interested in attracting wealth is to locate online communities that support wealth attraction techniques. In addition, you might look for local networking or entrepreneurial groups. Remember, too, to use books, seminars, and online resources to learn about incorporating effective attracting wealth techniques into your life.

These techniques might sound hokey, but that’s okay. What matters is if you can put them to work for you. Wealth affirmations, visualizations and meditations are free, so what would you lose by trying them?

Market worth PLN 718m in 2010

The clinical trials market in Poland[1] slowed in 2009, in comparison with previous years. Between 2006 and 2008, it grew at a rate of 8-10% per annum, whereas 2009 saw a year-on-year increase of only 1%, based on PMR estimates. “This poor market growth rate was, evidently, caused by the economic crisis, as a result of which companies cut down on expenditure on R&D projects, including clinical trials. On the other hand, the market is already quite saturated, which is why, according to us, it is not expected to grow at an exponential rate in the future” says Agnieszka Stawarska, a PMR Pharmaceutical Market Analyst and the report co-author. PMR forecasts that in 2010 the market will expand by around 5% year on year and will be worth PLN 718m (€170m).

Work on Clinical Trials Act still in progress

The Clinical Trials Act has been in preparation for years; the objective of the act is the regulation of clinical trials through the clarification of existing regulations and the addition of new areas which have not previously been subject to legal regulation. The assumptions underlying the bill were published in December 2009, whereas the bill is expected to be ready in the first half of 2010.

Among other things, the Clinical Trials Act will clarify and amend regulations applicable to the proceedings of ethics committees. The bill is based on the assumption that a clinical research coordinator (chosen from among the principal investigators) will be required to file applications with the bioethics committee with jurisdiction over the coordinator’s registered office and with all of the relevant bioethics committees with jurisdiction over the location at which the clinical trial is carried out. In addition, the bill proposes the introduction of an obligation to publish information on clinical trials run in Poland on publicly available websites.

If the assumptions underlying the bill are reflected in the final version of the Clinical Trials Act, patients will be able to claim for bodily injury resulting from participation in clinical trials (non-fault insurance – despite giving their informed consent for a clinical trial, patients may be awarded damages for bodily injury; at present, the liability of sponsors and investigators is fault-based).

The assumptions upon which the bill is based also include a proposal to pay not only healthy subjects but also patients suffering from illness who participate in phase I trials.

“Tidying up” of legislation to stimulate market growth

In the opinion of the respondents to the PMR survey, the “tidying up” of the relevant legislation is a factor which could have the most extensive effect on the development of the market in the next few years. “Respondents cited measures such as a clear-cut definition of a sponsor’s duties, the liberalisation of the law (which is too detailed), and the introduction of transparent and consistent guidelines applicable to all of the parties involved” says Monika Stefanczyk, a PMR Head Pharmaceutical Market Analyst and the report co-author.

There is no single statutory instrument in force in Poland which could regulate the clinical research market comprehensively. The relevant provisions pertaining to the clinical trials market are contained in a number of legal instruments of various categories, including those relating solely to the pharmaceutical market (e.g. the Pharmaceutical Act), but also to the Civil Code and the Penal Code. It is frequently the case that the provisions of legal instruments are inconsistent with each other.

In the opinion of almost 40% of respondents, the key market growth factor is the simplification of the trial registration procedure at the CEBK. However, this view was taken by significantly fewer respondents than in previous surveys carried out by PMR, in 2006 and 2008. In comparison with 2006 and 2008, significantly more respondents identified improvements in public awareness of clinical trials as a key factor which could drive market development. This could be because of the negative media coverage of clinical trials and unfavourable reports on the clinical trials market published in the Polish press in recent years.

This press release is based on information contained in the latest PMR report entitled “Clinical trials in Poland 2010. Development forecasts for 2010-2012″.

It seems everyone knows the importance of saving money, so why is it that 95% of people don’t do it?

The other day I was listening to “The Laws of Success” on Audio and there is this chapter about saving money, and there was this one story that I feel is rather relevant.

It talked about a Man who worked ridiculously hard in his advertising business, that he eventuality became rich. A millionaire. People loved him as he threw his money around.. oh, how he impressed his family and friends! He felt on top of the world! It then proceeds to talks about how even though he was making 5x the amount of money that he was making at the start of his career, he had found it difficult to find the space to save, and a hard time keeping up with his expenses. He wanted his family to live comfortably. Besides, because he was making such high earnings, to the man, He couldn’t see his income depleting anytime soon. To the man, his thoughts were that he could save his money later, you know, when it was necessary.

As time passed, eventually his debts overcame his earnings, and he was taking out loans from his friends and family who believed in his talents as a Advertiser and wanted to see him succeed, as he had proven that he could do once before – and eventually – those loans turned into plee’s, as one day the man turned around and noticed that he had nothing left. That he was asking for loans to pay for loans. His family and friends pity-ed him and just wanted to see the man get back up on his feet. The Man was so embarrassed because he ended up losing everything, not to mention his good reputation… so he decides to move where people didn’t know his tainted name. In this he would work to redeem himself.

The man confesses that he could have comfortably lived on 40% of his earnings put 30% to debts and bills and the other 30% to savings. and if he had to do it all over again, that he would do exactly that.

The Lesson:Delayed Gratification = Long Term Profit.

The point of the matter is it doesn’t matter how much money you make, you will never get ahead unless you put something behind you. and truth be told that saving a dime will skyrocket your self confidence! Think about it. when you know that you can, but have the discipline not to; you can hold your head high knowing that you made that choice and it was not because “you couldn’t.” Doesn’t that feel good just thinking about it?

Saving Money is a Habit. Start with what you can. Even if it’s just a dollar a day, by the end of the year you would have $375 that you wouldn’t have had if you did not save that one measly dollar a day. Put that into a high interest tax free savings account (limit of $5000 per year) your looking at a profit of $110 for a dollar a day!

Little by little, as your savings account grows and your confidence grows you can start adding $2 a day, and so on and so fourth. This is one of the MOST IMPORTANT SUCCESS BUILDING SKILLS that you can incorporate into your routine. Remember Do not touch your savings. If you do plan on using it (this is where I would always get caught up because I would deplete my savings) cushion it by using no more than 1/2 on your investment.

Good Luck!

Succesful Filipino Entrepreneur Mother Lily is a legend in the history of Philippine cinema. People remember her for her contributions and owe their lives to her. She is considered to be one of the individuals who have continued to produce films even if her films fail sometimes at the box-office and performed really badly. This is because of the reason that the filmmaking is the most important part of her life, her prime mission and passion in her life. Let us now look into some important events in her life which made her enter the business and how she became successful. It is amazing to know that she thinks that this is all because of a popcorn machine.

Mother Lily gave some insights about her fellow Chinese- Filipinos at the recent Anvil event. At this event, she threw some lights on how she has started her journey to success and built her business empire almost 50 years back. All the obstacles she has come across during the journey and how she has managed to get the huge success.

In her impressive speech, she has mentioned that she is a completely self-made person who has never taken the help even from her parents. She mentioned that she did not like to receive even a penny from them; however, her father was a copra magnate and could afford luxurious things for her, but she never accepted. Also, she did not take anything from her father-in-law.

She has grown up watching movies and later on the passion for producing films has become her full-time profession. In 1961, she worked with her father-in-law and could save enough to buy two popcorn machines and her business started and she could save to get a Hollywood movie re-issued. Those days were really struggling and she and her husband could only have one person’s meal. The real success came after 1980s and she managed to launch new generation of starts called Regal babies. The success story of mother lily tells that she has produced around 1000 movies so far. Like any other successful person, she has faced ups and downs in her life which never stopped her from being a successful Filipino Entrepreneurs

I have seen professionals like doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants and even politicians who are doing well in their respective jobs but didn’t take the opportunity of making the idea of “compound interest” work for them. This results in a downgrade of lifestyle once they have stop working. The measly pension fund they would be getting is not even enough to support their medication or herbal drinks they should take what more of the lifestyle they are used to.

I have gathered top reasons below why saving a little now dedicated to your pension and retirement should be done now.

1.         The advantage of compounding interest is on your side. Do you know that saving a fix monthly amount for 35-45 years would guarantee you that will be adequately funded when you retire compared when you save double or triple the amount monthly for 10-20 years? The reason is the power of compounding interest that lets you earn more because of   the time value.

2.         You worked so hard for many years to enjoy the fruits of your labor, travel perhaps or simply do the thing you are most passionate about without worrying if there would be food on the table or bills piling up simply because you left the corporate world. Are you willing to change your lifestyle or cut back on spending once your jobless? If the answers is a resounding no! Then shop for the best pension now.

If you are good enough that you allot money in the bank, in savings or time deposits do not rejoice just yet because more or less your money depleted thru time because of the inflation rate and instead of being able to save, you lose the value of your money.

Times are hard nowadays but you can alleviate its effect in your retirement if you start early building your nest egg, monthly religiously. It doesn’t matter if you start small what’s more important is you are making it a habit and overtime you will reap its reward. There are also companies that offers benefit of funding portion of your pension fund, take advantage of such an opportunity.

It is a given fact that there may be other priorities when you are young like paying debts, supporting up a family or getting a house and paying its amortization but whatever the obstacles may be make sure that you are setting up even a small amount in your pension fund.

1. Analysis your wealth position

Wealth has a different meaning than what it appears normally. Its not only consist of income.

Many high earning families have nothing as their wealth and some less earner have more than those families. Income difference just represents the 16% of wealth graph.

Other medical expenses, family household expenses , any marital costs and number of children represents approximately 20% of your total wealth.

Your investments have the

24% of your wealth property.

Its quite clear from the above analysis that wealth is not only means how much income you earn?, how much investments you do? or how many chances events like marital, or medical bills you have to pay?

2. Savings

The most important point to become a rich person is that how much you save? The ability to save your income makes you a wealthy person.

You `ll surely get your desired results if you set you priority level at saving. No matter how much you earn? or how much other circumstances or choice of investments you have?

3. Investment

When you accept the saving habit then go to the next step. To invest your savings at the right place regularly. You should prefer solid investment like index funds which returns a lot.

4. Time

Always think in long term. The time power and other corresponding will work in your way. Let them do their task.
