How To Become Financially Successful The Right Way.

By John Eather

Every person has the will to become financially successful. Everybody dreams of getting rich as fast as possible and enjoying the luxuries that are offered by wealth and affluence. Although altruists might deny it, the obvious fact is that money is everything. Without money, an individual does not have any worth unless he has some other talent that gives him access to those powers and pleasures that only money could buy.

Pursuing traditional methods of accruing wealth: One could become financially successful by imbibing superior education and equipping themselves with such qualifications and degrees that lets them find a high paying job. It is no secret that lawyers, doctors, engineers and such professionals earn bucket loads of money, and continue doing so into a ripe old age. If you are unemployed and have sufficient educational qualifications, then it is high time that you shook of that lethargy and started looking for a job.

Since there is a slump in the economy right now, it is advisable to stick on to whatever you are doing instead of experimenting with career moves. Try to make the best of the opportunities that are available to you. Learning to save is also important. If you spend everything you earn and then use some extra credit you would always find yourself in debt.

The way to gain a better financial footing is to start saving money each month. Reduce your expenditure and pay only for those things that are absolutely essential. Once you start building up a saving, you would naturally have an urge to nurture it and see it grow. Do not let your money just lie around in the bank. Ensure that your you gain maximum returns on your savings.

Never underestimate the importance of saving money. Learn to stop squandering your hard earned money and try to save more by cutting down on frivolous expenditure and knowing your limitations. Living well within your income can help you to slowly and steadily ensure the amassing of wealth. Also learn to use the money that you have saved in a profitable manner by investing it in high return yielding ventures which pose minimal risk. Stocks and shares are to be avoided and real estate investments are to be concentrated upon.

Try to seek out modes of procuring more income. Working from home or taking up additional jobs that you could fit within the time that is available to you lets you free up some cash which could be invested wisely. - 23218

5 Tricks To Make It Big With Real Estate Investing

By Real Bearman

Real estate investing is one of the most attractive ways of making good money (that is if you do it correct). Moreover, real estate investing is also a lot of fun. A lot of people practice real estate investing as their core profession and, in fact, make a lot of money that way.

Real estate investing is really an art and, like any art, it takes time to master the art of real estate investing. The key, of course, is to buy at a lower price and sell at higher price and make a profit even after paying all the costs involved in the two (buy/sell) transactions. Generally, people are of the opinion that real estate investing makes sense only when the rates are on the rise. However, real estate investing for profits is possible just about any time (and as I just said, real estate investing is an art). Here is a list of tricks that can make real estate investing profitable for you:

Look for public auctions, divorce settlements and foreclosures (bank/FHA/VA): Since quick settlement is the preference here (and not price), you might get a property at a price that is much lower than the prevailing market rate. You can then make arrangements to sell it at the market rate over a short period of time. However, make sure that the property is worth the price you are paying.

Looking for old listings: The old listings that are still unsold may provide you with good real estate investing opportunities. Just get hold of an old newspaper and call up the sellers. They might have given up hope of selling that property at all and with a bit of negotiation you can get the property for a real low price.

The hidden treasure: A really old (and dirty) looking house may scare off buyers. But this might be your chance for real estate investing that can yield good profits. So, explore such properties and check if spending a bit on them can make them shine. You can get these at very low prices and make a big profit in a short time.

Team up with attorneys: There are a number of attorneys who handle property sales on behalf of sellers or in special circumstances (like the death of the property owner). They might sometimes be looking to dispose off the property rather quickly and hence at a low price. Be the first one to grab such real estate investing opportunities and enjoy the profits.

Keep tab on the newspaper announcements: Property sell offs due to deaths, divorce settlements, immediate cash requirements and other reason are frequently announced in local papers. Keep track of such real estate investing avenues. - 23218

The New Charles Ponzi of The 21 Century!

By William R. Wiedow Ph.D.

It seems true to say, Barnard Madoff is the new Charles Ponzi. Investors put much faith in Madoff and considering the current state of things in the fanancial markets, it is a real shame that this man could betray so many good investors! At this point Madoff Type Stock Scams have really impacted countless people around the globe.

Mr. Madoff used to be a highly respected financier and former chairman of the NASDAQ. He recently admitted to administrating a ponzi stock scam that cost innocent investors over 50 Billion Dollars!

Wallstreet and Mainstreet have been ruined by this kind of corruption! So future stock investors be warned! Because this is a text book lesson and we must learn from these types of scams to avoid this terrible financial lost in our investing years to come.

The infamous Charles Ponzi of Boston developed the ultimate scam "The Ponzi Scheme" and in the 1920's cost investors million of dollars! Rather than making profitable investments with the money of new and unsuspecting investors, a ponzi operator was giving away the money of new investors to older investors to make them happy.

Barnard Madoff's Empire like Charles Ponzi's Empire before him had a destiny of failure and an a appointment with the Big House. But at this point there is much to learn from these two scam artist, and we better take the time to learn because if we don't, guys like these could make all stock investors pennyless!

First of all, it is always important to diversify when investing. Madoff Type Stock Scams thrive on ignorant investors. Make sure to put your funds in a variety of investments. It is too risky to put every dollar of your financial assets into just one. Another tip is to avoid investments that look too good to be true.

Absolutely amazing offers are often the sign of a scam. Madoff promised high returns on investments with low risk and plenty of liquidity. He was offering incredibly secure investments with good returns. While solid investments do exist, you are certainly not going to find ones as amazing as what Madoff was offering. These sorts of "Fantastical Guarantees" should let you know that a scam is going on!

We pay taxes to support services to help us and some tax money goes to The SEC. But in The Madoff Affair The SEC did next to nothing? We all know YOU ARE TAKING A RISK WHEN YOU INVEST and this risk should be under the umbrella of The SEC, but it certainly was not in The Madoff Affair. Madoff scamed large banks savvy stock brokers, people with MBA's and more, so if you were just a Madoff average investor I would not feel too bad because Mr. Madoff got the best of them. Of course if you were a Madoff Victim there is a great website you can go to for help: bernardmadoffvictims.com

You can keep from being scamed most times by using good research, but the fact is we all get taken for a ride sometimes. Hedge Funds are very risky as an investment so for the individual investor it would be safer to stay away from them. In this economy today to retain your investment captial or have a better chance of keeping your investment captial at the minimum, stick with much safer Mutual Funds, Bank CD's, or even Gold. The economy may or may not get better soon, so your saftest course in 2009 may just be to leave most of your money in the bank. (c) 2009 William R. Wiedow Ph.D. - 23218

Do You Know The History of the American Buffalo Gold Coin?

By Christina Goldman

The American Buffalo Gold Coin has a rich heritage. Any potential investor should definitely take the time to learn a little bit about learn a little about the history of the American Buffalo Gold coin. Do you aware that it was first offered for sale by the U.S. Mint in 2006? This actually is the first time that 24K gold coins were produced by the US Government for public consumption.

The American Buffalo coin has a legal tender of $50. The coin's explanation edition was sold for $800 and its price continued to rise as each year passed. There was even a Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 that mandated a face value of $50 for the 24K coin along with a limit of only three hundred thousand pieces or about ten pieces per home to be minted and sold.

Here's some minutiae about the History of the American Buffalo Gold Coin:

The illustration of the buffalo itself The original edition of the coin with the drawing of the bison or the American buffalo came out in 1913 and was designed by James Earle Fraser.

Reason of the gold coin creation In order to challenge with other 24K gold coins in the market, the U.S. Government ordered the creation of the American Buffalo Gold Coin. They were losing ground with Canada's Gold Maple Leaf coin as the preferred coin by stockholders due to its higher composition.

Even though the U.S. Government has the Gold Eagle coin, the American Buffalo Gold Coin is more engaging for investors due to its 99.9% pure vs. the latter. So that is the reason why in 2008, minting of the buffalo gold coins momentarily stopped since it can not keep up with the demands of the market.

The history of the American Buffalo Gold Coin has shown that backers can easily seek safety with gold to get through the current economic downfall. - 23218
