The Rich Man's Story - Part 6

So, has the time come for such a situation as yet. No. Not at all. But we are getting there somewhat closer every passing month. It could be years before we see some bad situations or we may never even see them in our life times at all. Hopefully so. But does that mean we can party hard and forget the hangover? That would not be prudent.

One of the smartest investor explains the risk management like this. Suppose you have to cross a street every day. Intially, you check out if there are any vehicles approaching, and carefully cross the street. And everytime you find that there are no vehicles approaching, so does that mean the next time you are crossing the street you need not be careful. 'That' crossing perhaps could end up being the last crossing.

So let the party continue, enjoy, just be aware what you have to do, when the party is over.
What should we do? Here I would not like to make any suggestions, for no matter, I am still do not know enough to suggest that. There are many books that deal with these issues, that should help.

PARTY HARD, JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Value of dollar - Part 1

A Simple Perspective Will Do The date is 2000-05-28. Don't you get tired of all the bad news bears reminding you of all these instabilities, excesses, and 'potential' tensions in the global economy? After all, hasn't it always been like that? Yes it has, but not in money it hasn't. Increasingly, investors find it harder to know where to put their savings. What about Government Bonds? Wrong. Their recent record of capital losses have wiped out your guaranteed yields, probably because the stock market keeps crowding them out, and this even in a strong dollar and low inflation environment. Furthermore, there is no reliable liquidity and potentially poor quality debt in the corporate sector. Foreign assets? Wrong. Most of the world's economies are riskier, have been under performing, and also, there is this thing called currency risk. Like how is the average person gonna cope with currency...

Depreciation of British Pound 1900-2000

When the Bank of England was formed the powers to create money was finally transferred to private hands. The creation of Fed in US, was just a part of this cycle. Though it is a common knowledge US Dollar has depreciated nearly 100% since the creation of Federal Reserve, the same is the case of all the currencies across the globe. For example, below is the UK Parliament data that highlights the depreciating value of Pound.
