Hub You - Investing - Don't Scramble Your Eggs
Since Feb 2005 I have been experimenting with making a little income from websites. Not by working on them and building them for people which is one of my ‘proper’ sources of income, but by actually building sites for myself that then generate an income.Now, before you get excited, I’m not making loads, in fact the sites are only just paying their way, but I thought I’d tell you about them as there is certainly potential in the techniques. In fact, quite a few people are making small fortunes using these techniques and a small
Spreading your portfolio between CDs and stocks won’t adequately protect you from all the risks you face. Portfolios should be divided among cash, bonds, real-estate and equities, further sub-divided into different classes and then the classes into different investments. Many advisors do this but that’s where they stop…and fail.
Most advisors fail to properly diversify a portfolio by strategy. If your entire po

We’ve all heard that it’s not wise to put all of your eggs in one basket. For safety, we are told that it is better to divide our eggs among several baskets because if one gets dropped it isn’t going to break all our eggs. Wall Street refers to this as diversification.
Many people think that if they own more than one investment that they are diversified. Others think that diversifying means that they should not keep all of their money with one institution or the same advisor. This isn’t diversification.
The egg analogy doesn’t accurately reflect the underlying reasons for diversification. There are many different risks we face. There is market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and inflation risk, just to name a few. The purpose of diversification is to help you reduce your exposure to all of these risks, not just one or two of them.
There’s no such thing as the Perfect Investment. EVERY investment has risks and rewards. Combining investments with different risks and rewards can result in the reward of one offsetting the risk of another.
Here’s a simplified example. Many retirees recognize that there is greater risk of losing their principal when investing in the stock market then there is in a Certificate of Deposit (CD). As a result, many choose to avoid the stock market all together.
Neither CDs nor a stock market investment are perfect. The reward of CDs is their stability. But they aren’t designed to protect you from inflation risk. A stock market-based investment is designed to protect you from inflation risk but it lacks the stability of the CD.
That’s where diversification helps. Spreading your money among both CDs and stock market-based investments is a way to reduce the risks associated with each. Doing so reduces the overall risk of your portfolio and increases the probability that you will achieve your goals.

I've had the pleasure recently of getting involved with Squidoo, which is a Web 2.0 site that allows you to create small web pages packed with brief information about your sites, products, and services. If you are looking for ways to make money online, you might want to start with Squidoo.The reason I suggest starting there is that if you visit Squidoo's website, you can do a free search for various topics – anything under the sun – and find short web pages with brief overviews of what you are looking for, and do this all for

One of the biggest boosts giving your company a barrage of new business is planning and hosting a Super Lead Generation Event. Unlike ads, squeeze pages or teleseminars—the targeted prospects get to see and meet you in person. If you're good, this is an immense credibility builder. And will lead to an incredible amount of new business.If people know, like and trust you—it's much faster for them to become customers and a source of continued revenue. Probably for many years. And watching you in action can instantly establish that

It's no secret that North Americans spend a large portion of their income on how they look and feel. Due to so many pressures, stress levels are at an all time high and so people are increasingly searching for ways to relax their body, mind and souls. However, since they have little time to spare, they also want these services to fit into their busy schedules -- which is where bringing those services to them comes in! The day spa industry has been growing at a steady rate for years, as we try to emulate what Europeans have known for c

Most advisors fail to properly diversify a portfolio by strategy. If your entire portfolio is based on the same strategy then your entire portfolio is exposed to the risks associated with that strategy.
Probably 98 out of 100 advisors will tell you that the Buy and Hold strategy is the only successful way to invest in the stock market. Doing so puts YOU at risk. That’s why so many investors suffered losses of 30-50% or more between 2000 and 2002. The problem wasn’t the type of investment, the problem was the advisor failed to diversify your portfolio by strategy.
There are many different strategies available. I’m not sold out to any single strategy. Just like investments, each strategy has strengths and weaknesses. That’s why I diversify clients between different types of investments AND different underlying strategies.
I’ll use a Buy and Hold strategy, but I will offset its risks with a proprietary strategy designed to significantly reduce stock market losses. I use traditional investments but I also find other ways to meet my client’s needs. I develop different strategies to meet different needs—diversifying along the way.
For instance, one of my high-income strategies uses a type of investment unfamiliar to most advisors (because they can’t earn a commission on them). To reduce risk, it’s diversified among 20 individual investments. Three of them lost money in 2005—one lost 29%! The other 17 more thn made up for that, though, with 7 having gains over 40% each. As good as this strategy is, I’ll only use it for a portion of a portfolio.
Diversification can be used to reduce the specific risks your portfolio faces. Use different categories, classes and individual investments. And make sure that you use more than one strategy. Doing so will help you protect what you have and make it grow.
