Currently, the housing market is being gobbled up by vacationers, retirees, and young families who are making their way to areas like Sarasota in large numbers. Sarasota, along with its neighbors to the north and south, Manatee County and Charlotte County, has the 7th largest market in Florida, and it’s also Florida’s third-largest growing market.

With over 600,000 people, the Sarasota/Manatee/Charlotte area is one of the largest, most affluent markets in the state. In the last 5 years, the area has grown 4 times faster than the national average. The per capita retail sales are almost 20% above the national average. It has a strong base of retirement age people; however, the fastest-growing segment of the market is middle-aged adults and their children. It has approximately 1/4 of the population of the Tampa/St. Petersburg area so there’s still a lot of room for development.

At present, the average median price for single-room units is $187,000; 2-bedroom units cost around $253,000, 3-bedroom homes cost $370,000 and a 4-bedroom house would run from $405,000 upwards.

Real Estate Investing: Pre-Foreclosure Secrets

Posted on by

On April 14, 2008, ABC News reported that 1 of every 428 houses in Ohio is going through some foreclosure process. That’s just indicative of the mortgage crisis that is currently gripping the nation by the throat. Profit from other people’s misery by learning preforeclosure secrets in real estate investing. You can make the seller’s misery a little less from buying a preforeclosure property than a foreclosure property. A preforeclosure does not say on a person’s credit record as long as a foreclosure does.

Location, Location, Location

In real estate investing, you will drive yourself insane looking at properties in random areas of the country or state. You need to select your location first and then see what properties are available. It’s no good buying a beautiful mini mansion in Ohio if there haven’t been any significant sales in that town for ten years. Once you get your location chosen, then you can focus on the properties.

Many in real estate investing prefer to work with preforeclosure properties than ones already in foreclosure. You not only feel good helping the homeowner out a little bit, but you can often save as much as 40 of the house’s market value.

Don’t be surprised if the homeowner doesn’t answer the phone or the doorbell. They may be scared that you are a bill collector. They may also feel shame and confusion. Be patient. Slip a note under their doors if you have to, just to let them know that you are not a bill collector or their lenders.

Talk To Your Accountant

In order to save more money, those in real estate investing may be entitled to a large rebate for every foreclosure or preforeclosure piece of property they buy. This is due to the Foreclosure Prevention Act of 2008. However, since tax laws seem to change by the minute, don’t count on the rebates. If they happen – great, but do not gamble everything on getting a whopping great rebate check in 2008.

Jim Cramer Says Buy Laureate Education

Posted on by

Doktor Cramer opened his “Mad Money” television show on CNBC last Friday with a very positive review of Laureate Education Inc, LAUR; NYSE. Cramer reminded us that this company was previously known as Sylvan Learning Centers. The company has changed its name and its corporate direction. It’s focused south strategically but not “going south” technically.

While offering diplomas to anyone with the necessary financing was initially a good business in the USA, students have displayed a litigious tendency to seek compensation if they fail to land the type of jobs they feel they prepared for. But in the overseas markets where LAUR is now focused, students are putting down their cash and taking their chances that diplomas will allow them to participate in the growing Latin American economies.

Cramer pointed out that Morgan Stanley research recently put out a buy recommendation on the shares of Laureate Education
because of their sizeable presence in Chile, Mexico and Brazil. The company recently bought the fifth largest private school in Sao Paulo, Brazil and is moving into parts of Europe that offer good growth opportunities, like Crete.

LAUR shares closed Friday at $53.25, up 81 cents or 1.5 % on the day.

Learn To Be Wisely Frugal But Selectively Extravagant!

Posted on by

Have you ever wondered why so many solid businessman drive cruddy, old cars from a dingy, run down offices to their palatial homes in the suburbs? Warren Buffet, perhaps the greatest investor alive is known for this. The reason they live this life style is not because they are cheap misers but because they have a high level of financial intelligence that you can develop as well.

They understand that if they have $90,000.00 that they could either put that money into
1. reducing their debt
2. invest it into the stock market
3. selective home improvements
4. improve the appearance of their business facilities (I am assuming that this doesn’t have an appreciable impact on their profitability and believe me it almost never does despite excuse mangers make to blow money)
5. buy a new Mercedes Benz for themselves
6. buy their children a new car.

The first two choices increase your net worth (equity) which is always a good thing and equity is not taxed. The third choice increases your enjoyment (utility) of your home. If you remodel your kitchen or bath appropriately you may also increase your equity. So if you have spare cash in excess of your debts and a solid investment, savings plan than this can be a good choice as well.

The fourth and fifth choices are TOTAL wastes of money because your business sits there for you to suck money out of and nothing else. A car loses a quarter of its value the moment it is driven off of the lot and then continues its downward slide to nothing. Depreciating assets are not investments they are financially undesirable necessities if you can’t walk everywhere you need to go. An automobile is a financially undesirable necessity, nothing more, nothing, less.

The very last choice is the worst possible use of your money. Not only do you waste your money but you also teach and reinforce financial mismanagement in the minds of your offspring. Your children learn that they do not have to work for anything they want. Worse still they will mentally assign a value to the automobile relative to the amount of effort it took for them to acquire it and that is zero.

In Steven Silbiger’s book “The Jewish Phenomenon” he describes in other ways why this concept of being prudently frugal yet selectively extravagant is a major key to the extraordinary wealth of the Jewish ethnicity. He shows clearly how Jewish families use this wisdom to convert their income into lasting wealth. Don’t forget that this wisdom is not restricted to Jews and in fact is the underlying lying cause of financial stability in high income families of low income ethnicity. The most enduring wealth of course is a debt free life style with adequate passive income and the knowledge to recoup it all if lost.

Tips To Real Estate Foreclosure Investing

Posted on by

You’ve heard it a million times. If you were to get a property that is entering foreclosure, you can get a great deal on the price of the home or property. The main question is how do you acquire the necessary knowledge to get this property. There are a lot of loopholes when it comes to foreclosures, so it’s best to know as many of them as possible to prepare yourself for what can be a great and rewarding investment.

When deciding to invest in real estate foreclosure, it’s important to know where to find these properties and how to acquire the right information. You have to decide if you will invest in commercial properties or residential. Either case, you then need to gather information on any liens or other defaults that may be associated with the property. Depending on how you buy these properties, you may end up being responsible for the liens on the property.

Though not known by many, properties that are foreclosed upon are public knowledge. The list of foreclosed properties is available through your local county building. This will only include properties that are already foreclosed. You can usually access this list around the time they hold the auction for the current month. This will give you time to do the research necessary to be prepared for the next month’s auction.

If you want to purchase a property before it goes to public auction, that will take a little footwork on your part. There are websites that offer information on properties that are in pre-foreclosure. Be aware, the information on these sites is not always accurate. We had a property bought, remodeled, and getting ready to close; yet on the website we used to find it, it was still listed as in pre-foreclosure. It’s a good idea to call the lender and make sure that the property is in fact still in pre-foreclosure. If it is you will want to contact the property owner, explain who you are and your interest in their property. This may not start out as a pleasant conversation since the owner does not want to sell the property, yet when you explain to them that this will work in both of your interests, they may change their mind. In buying the property this way, the owner will not have to complete the foreclosure process which means that their credit score will not get a negative rating for this instance. They will pay off their mortgage and you will get the property at a dramatic discount.

Whether it’s pre-foreclosure or in foreclosure, it’s best to be informed about the property that you will attempt to purchase. You can do this by ordering a title search in which a company will research the records dating back a certain time period. This will bring up any liens or back taxes owed on the property. You may end up being responsible for these extra expenses. Therefore you must be aware of them so that you can bid fairly to cover all of the expenses, not just the mortgage owed. If you do not have the money and are willing to spend a little time at your local county building, you can do a search for these records yourself. You will need to visit the tax assessor’s office in order to determine if their taxes are paid in full or delinquent. You will also need to visit the recorder’s office and the county clerk’s office. In these two offices you
will research liens on the properties in which money is owed. This type of information is the same that a title search will turn up and you will be able to do it for free.

Once you’ve acquired the information needed, it’s time to prepare yourself to bid a price for the property. If you are dealing directly with the homeowner, you have flexibility. You should have a good idea of what they owe to the bank and any liens at this point. You may want to offer them just enough to cover what they owe or slightly more. If negotiations are successful and you come to an agreement, you must be able to close the sale before the time of the auction. This is the only drawback to this type of sale. The monies owed must be paid before time of auction, otherwise the property is sold at auction, regardless of any agreement you may have entered with the homeowner. If you decide to purchase at auction, you must be prepared to pay the full amount of the agreed on price within a certain time period of being awarded the property.

After the auction or the agreed upon negotiation of the property, you will immediately be able to claim ownership of said property. If you have been negotiating and talking to the people that own said property, they are already expecting this and will probably have already moved out. Be aware, however, that if the owners refuse to leave the property, you may have to go through the eviction process that can take up to three months to complete. We recently decided to walk away from the award of a property at auction exactly for that reason. Our county will not send police to enforce the sale of the property. Therefore, in order to get the people to move out, the eviction process must be used. This wastes valuable time in which you could be fixing up the property and getting it ready for sale. This is one reason why, though it may be difficult, having communication with the property owners before the auction may save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

Once the property is legally yours, you are free to invest in it and make profit from it. It can be a wonderful way to work for yourself and make money while doing it. Our business has successfully invested in many properties and yours can too.

What You Need To Know When Trading Derivatives And Futures

Posted on by

Hello Fellow-Investor.

The Derivatives and Futures Market is the most potentially profitable market in the world. But it can be the most distructive one too!

Derivatives

A derivative is a financial term for a specific type of investment from which the price over a certain time is derived from the performance of the underlying asset such as commodities, shares or bonds, interest rates, exchange rates or indices like stock market index or consumer price index.

This performance can determine both the amount and the timing of the payoffs. The diverse range of potential underlying assets and payoff alternatives leads to a huge range of derivatives contracts available to be traded in the market. The main types of derivatives are Futures, Forwards, Options and Swaps.

Futures

A futures contract is a standardized contract, traded on a futures exchange
to buy or sell a certain underlying asset. at a certain date in the future, at a pre-set price.

The future date is called the delivery date or final settlement date. The pre-set price is called the futures price. The price of the underlying asset on the delivery date is called the settlement price. The futures price, normally, converges towards the settlement price on the delivery date.

A futures contract gives the holder the right and the obligation to buy or sell, which differs from an options contract, which gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, and the option writer (seller) the obligation, but not the right.

In other words, the owner of an options contract can exercise (to buy or sell) on or prior to the pre-determined settlement/expiration date. Both parties of a "futures contract" must exercise the contract (buy or sell) on the settlement date.

To exit the commitment, the holder of a futures position has to sell his long position or buy back his short position
effectively closing out the futures position and its contract obligations.

Futures contracts, or simply futures, are exchange traded derivatives. The exchange acts as the counterparty on all contracts and sets margin requirement etc.

Forwards

A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset (which can be of any kind) at a pre-agreed future point in time. Therefore, the trade date and delivery date are separated. It is used to control and hedge risk.

One party agrees to buy, the other to sell, for a forward price agreed in advance. In a forward transaction, no actual cash changes hands. If the transaction is collaterised, exchange of margin will take place according to a pre-agreed rule. Otherwise no asset of any kind actually changes hands, until the contract has matured.

The forward price of such a contract is commonly contrasted with the spot price which is the price at which the asset changes hands ( on the spot date, usually the next business day ). The difference between the spot and the forward price is the forward premium or forward discount.

A standardized forward contract that is traded on an exchange is called a futures contract.

Futures vs. Forwards

While futures and forward contracts are both a contract
to trade on a future date, key differences include:

- Futures are always traded on an exchange, whereas forwards always trade over-the-counter.

- Futures are highly standardized, whereas each forward is unique

- The price at which the contract is finally settled is different:
Futures are settled at the settlement price fixed on the last trading date of the contract (i.e. at the end)

Forwards are settled at the forward price agreed on the trade date (i.e. at the start)

- The credit risk of futures is much lower than that of forwards:
Traders are not subject to credit risk due to the role played by the clearing house. The profit or loss on a futures position is exchanged in cash every day. After this the credit exposure is again zero.

The profit or loss on a forward contract is only realised at the time of settlement, so the credit exposure can keep increasing

- In case of physical delivery, the forward contract specifies to whom to make the delivery. The counterparty on a futures contract is chosen randomly by the exchange.

- In a forward there are no cash flows until delivery, whereas in futures there are margin requirements and periodic margin calls.

Options

An option is a contract whereby one party (the holder or buyer) has the right but not the obligation to exercise a feature of the option contract ( e.g. stocks ) on or before a future date called the exercise or expiry date.

Since the option gives the buyer a right and the seller an obligation, the buyer has received something of value. The amount the buyer pays the seller for the option is called the option premium.

Most often the term "option" refers to a type of derivative which gives the holder of the option the right but not the obligation to purchase (a "call option") or sell (a "put option") a specified amount of a security within a specified time span. (Specific features of options on securities differ by the type of the underlying financial instrument involved.)

Swaps

A swap is a derivative where two counterparties exchange one stream of cash flows against another stream. These streams are called the legs of the swap. The cash flows are calculated over a notional principal amount. Swaps are often used to hedge certain risks, for instance interest rate risk. Another use is speculation.

Swaps are over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. This means that they are negotiated outside exchanges. They cannot be bought and sold like securities or future contracts, but are all unique. As each swap is a unique contract, the only way to get out of it is by either mutually agreeing to tear it up, or by reassigning the swap to a third party. This latter option is only possible with the consent of the counterparty.

The Basics Of Investing In Stocks And Shares

Posted on by

Stocks can be considered a tool for building wealth, as they are a part of almost every investment portfolio. They represent the ownership of a company and are bought in the form of shares. Shares refer to the stock of a particular company. Your stake in a company depends on how many shares you possess, because these are considered a part of the company’s capital.

The popularity of investing in the stock market is increasing constantly. Today, investment in stocks and shares is not limited to the well to do; even the average middle-class is getting into it in droves. The opening up of markets with advanced trading technologies has made owning shares easy for everyone. However, if you are planning to invest, do not depend on luck to get you returns. Investment in stocks is considered a very risky affair. It requires a high rate of return. You need to use a well thought out strategy and necessary tools to invest in the share market.

The allure of investing in shares and stocks, however, does not mean that every would-be investor has the know-how of this often-slippery market. If you feel that the get-rich-quick theory applies to stocks and shares, then it is a misguided notion, because stocks are not the answer to instant wealth. Just like the real estate market, the share market also involves a lot of risk. Yet, people are often under the misconception that they will get rich instantly if they invest in shares.

You can buy a share in a stock when a company first enlists on the stock market – that is, at flotation or privatization. Alternatively, you can purchase shares once they are in circulation and are traded.

You could go to a stockbroker if you want to buy stocks. Stockbrokers do business with the stock exchange. They hold the shares in an account that is created in the name of the nominee. You can also keep your shares in the form of a paper certificate. Once the buying and selling of shares is over the transaction is made complete through an electronic system. This system is responsible for linking all the banks along with the stockbroker and registrars of the respective companies.

You can invest in international stocks as well. When a company performs trading in a stock market of another country, their stocks are known as International stocks. These stocks are traded like the UK stocks or, for that matter those traded in the Nasdaq in the US. All the stock exchanges in the world work in the same manner.

There is no guarantee when it comes to Investment in stocks but if you are ready to take a big risk then you can expect great returns on your investment. Despite the risk factor this form of investment has outperformed other investment options like bonds or saving accounts. So if you have the right strategy and you make the right moves in the stock market then nothing can stop the money from rolling in.

Investing Saving Finance Money-make A Fortune With Your Investments

Posted on by

Investing and saving finance money is not easy and it is difficult sometimes to save the capital money. Herein lies the need to work with a knowledgeable investment professional that can help you plan and implement investment strategies designed to achieve your financial goals.

Save finance money by investing for income in real estate. There are different ways of investing saving finance money. Listed below are a few:

Mutual funds: A mutual fund is a device that pools the investors’ money to purchase bonds and stocks. You can build a portfolio and diversify it.

Money Market Securities: They are the most safe and liquid form of investment available. Investors who do not want to take high risk invest in such securities and they function through the money market dealer’s money center banks and Open Market Trading Desks. The money market securities are Treasury Bills, Certificates of Deposits,

Bonds: Bonds are debt securities. The person who invests in bonds becomes a bond holder and is required to pay the issuer the principal and the interest which is termed as the coupon at the committed date of maturity. Therefore, a bond can be called a loan in the form of a security. Mostly government provides bonds.

Common stocks: Common stocks are the ordinary shares held by the public in the corporation. The stocks that can be purchased and repurchased are known as treasury stocks. These stocks are the last in the liquidity line. They receive their dividends after the preferred stockholders.

IPOs: The Initial Public Offering is the first sale of the common shares of an organization in the public stock exchange. When the shareholder sells the shares, then it is called the secondary offering which occurs in the secondary market and earns the shareholder profit or a loss.

If you want to make serious money with your investments, it is always recommended that you do your investing yourself without entrusting your money to someone else. You can never make as much money when your money is being held by a fund manager than you could by investing yourself.

Therefore, it will be necessary to become financially educated in order to invest your money. Read books, ask your friends who are already successfully investing their money, do your research, and you’ll make a lot of money with your investing and saving finance money.

New U.S. Mint Buffalo Coins’ Packaging a Nightmare

Posted on by

When the U.S. Mint announced it was adding a .9999 gold bullion coin to its line of gold coins, it looked like a "golden opportunity" for the Mint to capture a big chunk of 24-karat gold coin market. When legislation was passed mandating that the new coin bear James Earle Fraser’s designs that graced the legendary Buffalo/Indian Head nickels from 1913 through 1938, the new coin’s future looked even brighter.

However, on release of the new Buffalo gold coin, the Mint’s golden opportunity has turned into a nightmare at the retail level. While the coin itself is quite striking, having a matte finish and completely capturing the Fraser designs, the packaging makes the coins a nightmare.

Although the bulk of the blame can be laid on Congress for attempting to "micro-manage" production and distribution of the coins, the Mint should accept its share of the blame for the choice of packaging, having not considered, the retail aspects of the packaging.

Congress mandated that the coins be individually encapsulated to protect them from damage, apparently to avoid problems that have risen with 1-oz Canadian Maple Leafs. Further, Congress mandated that the Mint have the coins ready for distribution by the end of June. To meet the deadline, the Mint had to choose a method of packaging that was readily available and that would accommodate anticipated large volume sales.

The Mint chose a semi-rigid Mylar packaging, five coins horizontally with four coins down, making twenty coins to a sheet. With wide spacing between the coins, a "sheet of Buffalos" measures twelve inches by sixteen inches. The packaging causes several problems.

Because of the rigidity of the Mylar, a sheet cannot be folded into a tall bundle. Orders for less than twenty coins have to cut out of the sheets for the coins to be packed compactly, which is desired—and expected—for gold bullion coins.

Undoubtedly, the semi-rigid packaging for the Buffalos was meant to provide durable protection. However, the Mylar is so rigid that an original sheet of twenty Buffaloes cannot be conveniently stored. A sheet of twenty can be rolled like a magazine and then rubber-banded, but then storage would take a lot of space. Whereas the smallest of safe deposit boxes will hold hundreds of 1-oz Gold Eagles because they come in compact tubes, perhaps only sixty or so Gold Buffalos would fill a small safe deposit box.

Another problem that has surfaced: The coins readily come out of their protective sheets when handled. This means the coins then have to be transferred to a tube or to individual plastic sleeves, which are used so often for single coin purchases. Or, the Mylar can be mended with Scotch tape, hardly an attractive solution.

Because of the problems that have arisen with the packaging, Buffalos will not appeal to many large bullion buyers but to collectors, who may want only a few coins. Investors who ordered Buffalos without knowledge of the packaging have been disappointed. With the present packaging, it is unlikely the Mint will capture much of the .9999 fine bullion coin market.

While the Mint may point to early robust sales, new coins nearly always enjoy strong early sales. And, with the popular Buffalo/Indian Head design, undoubtedly Buffalos will remain favorites of collectors and people looking for gifts. However, the Buffalos were introduced to go after the .9999 fine gold bullion coin market,
where investors make repeated orders. So, the test for the Buffalos will come in the months ahead when we learn if investors make second and third orders for Buffalos.

It is the opinion of this 32-year veteran of the gold bullion coin market that if the U.S. Mint does not make changes in Buffalo packaging, sales will erode over time, and the Mint will miss a golden opportunity to capture a big piece of the pure gold coin market, which is now dominated by the Royal Canadian Mint’s Gold Maple Leafs.

The solution to the problem is for the Mint to change the packaging as soon as possible, taking into consideration how large investors are likely to store the coins—in safe deposit boxes. For investors who do not store in safe deposit boxes, compactness becomes even more important, as the coins must be easy to conceal. The Mint seems to have completely ignored this aspect of the market.

Additionally, the Mint needs to keep in mind that the coins have to be handled by bullion coin dealers who ship the coins to the final investors. The present packaging causes twenty-coin or larger orders to be shipped in large boxes, adding to shipping costs. The large boxes may also require more trips to the Post Office. It also increases the cost of handling for orders less than twenty coins, as they have to be cut out of the sheets.

Since Congress mandated that the coins be individually encapsulated, the Mint should go with hard plastic capsules such as those used by The Perth Mint. Then the capsulated coins should be put ten to a tube, providing compactness for ease of storage. That would also facilitate handling by coin dealers.

To correct the problem—and really go after the .9999 bullion coin market—the Mint should encapsulate the coins individually and put them in tubes of ten. Then ten tubes should be put in small, sealed, and durable boxes. And, finally, five small boxes of 100 coins should be put in a larger box of 500, which is how the Mint ships its best-selling Gold Eagles. Boxes of 500 are popular with large investors, and the boxes of 100 would be attractive to medium-size investors.

Packaging the new Buffalos this way would facilitate storage and handling both for investors and for retail dealers. The Mint needs to think retail with its packaging, to take into consideration how investors store, and to think about the bullion dealers who handle the new Gold Buffalos in delivering them to pure bullion coin investors.

Wealth Management Solutions-Options Abound!

Posted on by

Wealth management is a difficult concept to grasp for many people, especially in terms of investment and savings for the future.

Wealth management software is a helpful tool in building your financial plans so that you can feel comfortable with your current lifestyle, be assured that you’ll have the assets you need in the future, and can fulfill some of your dreams in the interim.
