But regardless of how much we earn, the money worry never goes away. Bills, rent, EMIs, medical costs, vacations, kids' education and, somewhere at the back of the head, the niggling thought about being under-prepared for our own retirement. Wouldn't it be wonderful if our money worked for us just as we work hard for it? What if we had a proven system to identify dud investment schemes? What if could just plug seamlessly into a simple, jargon-free plan to get more value out of our money, and have a super good life today? India's most trusted name in personal finance, Monika Halan offers you a feet-on-the-ground system to build financial security. Not a get-rich-quick guide, this book helps you build a smart system to live your dream life, rather than stay worried about the 'right' investment or 'perfect' insurance. Unlike many personal finance books, Let's Talk Money is written specifically for you, keeping the Indian context in mind.

    This template allowed his firm, Bridgewater Associates, to anticipate events and navigate them well while others struggled badly.  As he explained in his #1 New York Times Bestseller, Principles: Life & Work, Dalio believes that most everything happens over and over again through time so that by studying their patterns one can understand the cause-effect relationships behind them and develop principles for dealing with them well. In this 3-part research series, he does that for big debt crises and shares his template in the hopes reducing the chances of big debt crises happening and helping them be better managed in the future.  The template comes in three parts provided in three books: 1) The Archetypal Big Debt Cycle (which explains the template), 2) 3 Detailed Cases (which examines in depth the 2008 financial crisis, the 1930's Great Depression, and the 1920's inflationary depression of Germany's Weimar Republic), and 3) Compendium of 48 Cases (which is a compendium of charts and brief descriptions of the worst debt crises of the last 100 years). Whether you're an investor, a policy maker, or are simply interested, the unconventional perspective of one of the few people who navigated the crises successfully, A Template for Understanding Big Debt Crises will help you understand the economy and markets in revealing new ways.

    In fact it was a dramatic caesura of global significance that spiraled around the world, from the financial markets of the UK and Europe to the factories and dockyards of Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, forcing a rearrangement of global governance. In the United States and Europe, it caused a fundamental reconsideration of capitalist democracy, eventually leading to the war in the Ukraine, the chaos of Greece, Brexit, and Trump.It was the greatest crisis to have struck Western societies since the end of the Cold War, but was it inevitable? And is it over? Crashed is a dramatic new narrative resting on original themes: the haphazard nature of economic development and the erratic path of debt around the world; the unseen way individual countries and regions are linked together in deeply unequal relationships through financial interdependence, investment, politics, and force; the ways the financial crisis interacted with the spectacular rise of social media, the crisis of middle-class America, the rise of China, and global struggles over fossil fuels.Finally, Tooze asks, given this history, what now are the prospects for a liberal, stable, and coherent world order?

    You sacrifice to save. You risk your money in the market over your working lifetime and you trust your bank to treat you fairly. But your bank strips away half of your lifetime investment returns in fees. Without realizing it, millions of Canadians are in precisely this position.How does the industry pull this off? The big Canadian banks - and by extension our entire financial industry - occupy a position of paternalistic authority that too many individual investors respect unquestioningly. The industry brilliantly capitalizes on the combination of poor understanding of fees, deep loyalty, and misplaced trust by charging Canadians the highest investment fees in the world. There is a better way!

    Can this young upstart money challenge the global monetary order? Economist Saifedean Ammous traces the history of the technologies of money to seashells, limestones, cattle, salt, beads, metals, and government debt, explaining what gave these technologies their monetary role, what makes for sound money, and the benefits of a sound monetary regime to economic growth, innovation, culture, trade, individual freedom, and international peace.The monetary and historical analysis sets the stage for understanding the mechanics of the operation of Bitcoin, the reasons for its initial success, and the role it could play in an information economy. Rather than serving as a currency and network for consumer purchases, the author argues Bitcoin is better suited as a store of value and network for settlement between large financial institutions. With an automated and perfectly predictable monetary policy, and the ability to perform final settlement of large sums across the world in a matter of minutes, Bitcoin's true importance may just lie in providing a decentralized, neutral, free-market alternative to national central banks.

    We never have to pass a test to get our Money License before we can take a new credit card for a drive. Most of what we learn about money comes from advertising or from other people who know as little as we do. No wonder we make such basic mistakes. No wonder we feel disempowered and scared.

I wrote this book, because so many of the people I spoke to told me that they wished someone would.

    First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident." --Arthur SchopenhauerThe Ponzi Factor is the most comprehensive research ever compiled on the negative-sum nature of capital gains (non-dividend stocks). The book shows why, as a whole, ALL investors will lose money from buying and selling stocks.Most people don’t realize that profits from buying and selling stocks come from other investors who are also buying and selling stocks. When one investor buys low and sells high, another investor is also buying high and needs to sell for even higher. Companies like Google, Telsa, Facebook never pay their investors. Their investors’ profits are dependent on the inflow of money from new investors, which by definition, is how a Ponzi scheme works.This book is not for everyone. If you are a finance junkie who wants to rationalize why companies don’t have to pay their investors and believe a system that shuffles money between investor can magically create more money than people contribute, then this book is not for you. On the other hand, if you understand why we can’t create money by shuffling it with imaginary paper, and that investors invest because they want money, not value, then you will learn something you will never forget: The mechanics of how the stock market works and what really makes a stock price move.A stock without dividends is a Ponzi asset. It’s not how equity instruments were designed to work historically and not how ownership instruments are supposed to work logically. The Ponzi Factor is not a perspective or an opinion. It is a proof that is based on definition, logic, and it is supported by observable facts and history. This is not a story that will disappear after another market crash. It is an idea that will remain relevant for as long as the stock market exists.Lastly, to critics, the naysayer, and the finance junkies who think the imaginary value = cash. The author will award $20,000 to anyone who can show why non-dividend stocks DO NOT meet the definition of a Ponzi scheme. That’s $20,000 in cash, not value. (Details on this book's website. The Ponzi Factor. Proof by Definition.)

    Blockchain is suddenly everyone’s favorite buzzword. But what if there’s more to this story than meets the eye? What if Digital Currency is about to change the world in ways beyond our imagination? And what if geopolitical forces our politicians don’t even understand have already inspired China and Russia to use Digital Currency to attack the U.S. Dollar’s dominance over the global financial system? The Dollar has served as the world’s reserve currency since 1944, and the fringe benefits have allowed the U.S. Government to borrow and spend beyond its means and run massive trade deficits for decades. Now China and Russia suddenly have a new lever to use which could upset the global balance of power. Who would have guessed that technology breakthroughs conceived by the inventors of cryptocurrency would hand China and Russia just the weapon they needed to attack the Dollar’s rule over the global economy? The invention of digital cash enables government-issued digital currency systems that could completely modernize the global monetary system. The potential benefits to society are so great that it’s hard to grasp their full magnitude. But a digital currency system introduced by China and Russia could upstage the Dollar and replace it as global reserve currency, causing devastating consequences for the U.S. economy. Which country wins the new digital currency Space Race could change the course of human history. There’s plenty of evidence that China and Russia are already hard at work. The Chinese central bank is aggressively hiring Blockchain engineers, but has been suspiciously quiet about what they’re working on. Sergei Glaziev, economic advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin is giving keynote speeches to Blockchain conferences. The Chinese central bank filed more digital currency patents than anyone else in 2017. This book explains why China and Russia are suddenly so interested in Digital Currency technology, and more importantly, what they plan to do with it. Time is short for the U.S. Government to wake up and recognize the threat that now looms over the U.S. Dollar’s dominance at the center of the global financial system, and why Digital Currency technology is likely to be the challengers’ weapon of choice to defeat the Dollar. Author Erik Townsend is uniquely qualified to sort this puzzle out and tell the entire fascinating story. In his first career, Townsend was a distributed systems architect – an expert in all the technologies used to create cryptocurrencies. In his second career, he was a hedge fund manager who studied reserve currency status extensively. Townsend first gives readers an introduction to both conventional money and digital currency, then gives a detailed introduction to relevant monetary history subjects, and finally ties it all together and explains how a state-sponsored digital currency system could steal the title of global reserve currency from the U.S. Dollar and change the balance of world power.

     Because these bonds serve as the foundation of our current financial system, when they are in a bubble, it means that all risk assets (truly EVERYTHING), are in a bubble, hence our title, The Everything Bubble. In this sense, the Everything Bubble represents the proverbial end game for central bank policy: the final speculative frenzy induced by Federal Reserve overreach. The Everything Bubble book is the result of over a decade of research and analysis of the financial markets and economy by noted investment analyst, Graham Summers, MBA. As such, this book is intended for anyone who wants to understand how the US financial system truly operates as well as those interested in the Federal Reserve’s future policy responses when the Everything Bubble bursts. To that end, The Everything Bubble is divided into two sections: How We Got Here and What’s to Come. Combined, these sections represent a blueprint for all things finance and money-related in the United States. This knowledge is now yours.

    Joint Gold medallist at the Axiom Business Book Awards 2019 - Personal Finance / Retirement Planning / Investing. In The Behavioral Investor, psychologist and asset manager Dr. Daniel Crosby examines the sociological, neurological and psychological factors that influence our investment decisions and sets forth practical solutions for improving both returns and behavior. Readers will be treated to the most comprehensive examination of investor behavior to date and will leave with concrete solutions for refining decision-making processes, increasing self-awareness and constraining the fatal flaws to which most investors are prone. The Behavioral Investor takes a sweeping tour of human nature before arriving at the specifics of portfolio construction, rooted in the belief that it is only as we come to a deep understanding of "why" that we are left with any clue as to "how" we ought to invest. The book is comprised of three parts, which are as follows: - Part One - An explication of the sociological, neurological and physiological impediments to sound investment decision-making. Readers will leave with an improved understanding of how externalities impact choices in nearly imperceptible ways and begin to understand the impact of these pressures on investment selection. - Part Two - Coverage of the four primary psychological tendencies that impact investment behavior. Although human behavior is undoubtedly complex, in an investment context our choices are largely driven by one of the four factors discussed herein. Readers will emerge with an improved understanding of their own behavior, increased humility and a lens through which to vet decisions of all types. - Part Three - Illuminates the "so what" of Parts One and Two and provides a framework for managing wealth in a manner consistent with the realities of our contextual and behavioral shortcomings. Readers will leave with a deeper understanding of the psychological underpinnings of popular investment approaches such as value and momentum and appreciate why all types of successful investing have psychology at their core. Wealth, truly considered, has at least as much to do with psychological as financial wellbeing. The Behavioral Investor aims to enrich readers in the most holistic sense of the word, leaving them with tools for compounding both wealth and knowledge.

    This ebook cuts out all the BS seen in larger books and gets right to the point. By telling you the story of multiple real estate purchases I have made you will be able to put these practices to use to find properties in your area and close deals. If you want to know how to find and buy houses at rock bottom prices, this book is a good place to start. To make sure you do not waste your money, let me tell you more about to expect. I am a normal, average guy that has purchased all but one house with cash, spending as little as $5,000 and no more than $15,000. My most expensive house was purchased through owner financing. I prefer to buy cheap and use cash so that I do not go into debt. My first house cost $5,000. When I started the process, I only had about $1,000 but I sold some junk and came up with the rest of the money. I originally got into real estate investing because I wanted rental property. While that is still part of my investing, I've moved into buying and selling as well. Another aspect that I recently dipped my toes into is wholesaling, just completing my first deal. My long-term goal is to buy, renovate and sell houses for big profit and wholesale houses due to its low cost and fast turnover. Along the way, I will keep houses if they are great for rentals. If this sounds like you or something you want to work towards, that is the perspective that these books will be written from. Most of my books are short and to the point, I do this because I myself am not a huge reader due to time so I don't want to put you all through having to read a novel just to get some simple points. What it comes down to is that most things are easier than people think. I hope in telling my own story that you are able to push forward and make your first steps into real estate investing a reality. I'll be writing more on topics like this in the future, be sure to follow my Youtube channels, website and other social media for updates. "The Homestead Craftsman" & "Homemade Home" on Youtube.

    That’s why, in Mr. X, Luke Gromen presents us with a conversation between himself and a fictional US sovereign creditor to give us an outsider’s look into how the changing role of the US dollar in the global economy could drive meaningful shifts in financial and geopolitical policies in coming years. Luke Gromen is the founder of FFTT, LLC (“Forest for the Trees”), a research firm that aggregates a wide variety of macroeconomic, thematic, and sector trends to identify investable, developing economic bottlenecks for its customers. He wrote Mr. X to give voice to a number of seemingly disparate trends all pointing to major changes developing in the global economy. This book gives a brief and incisive look at why the world needs the US dollar less and less. In Gromen’s conversations with Mr. X, readers will learn: • Why the global currency system is undergoing the biggest change in 50-70 years • Who is driving this change • Who the winners and losers of this change could be • What signposts to watch for that will signal what is happening with this change • How to position one’s own assets to benefit over time from this change in the global currency system Luke Gromen believes that arguably the most undervalued assets on Wall Street are history books. In Mr. X, he provocatively explains how we are repeating history, and what that might mean for a variety of asset classes and for readers’ financial well-being.

    Jay-Z's 4:44 is the blueprint to bridging the wealth gap & solving economic inequalities for African-Americans! Through deciphering all of the financial concepts delivered within the album, readers will be taught about: • How to Build Credit to Use as Leverage • How to Spend Money Wisely • Cooperative Economics and How to Start a Business • Creating Multiple Streams of Income • How to Invest Money in Order For it To Grow • How to Pass Down Wealth to the Next Generation

    When good recommendations go unimplemented, clients’ well-being is compromised, opportunities are lost, and the professional relationship grows strained. Advice that Sticks takes aim at the problem of financial non-adherence. Written by a neuropsychologist and financial change expert, this book examines the five main factors that determine whether a client will follow through with financial advice. Individual client psychology plays a role in non-adherence; so, too, do sociocultural and environmental factors, general advice characteristics, and specific challenges pertaining to the emotionally loaded domain of money. Perhaps most surprising, however, is the extent to which advice-givers themselves can foil implementation. A great deal of non-adherence is due to preventable mistakes made by financial professionals and their teams. The author integrates her extensive clinical and consulting experience with research findings from the fields of positive psychology, behavioural economics, neuroscience, and medicine. What emerges is a thoughtful, funny, but above all practical guide for anyone who makes a living providing financial advice. It will become an indispensable handbook for people working with clients across the wealth spectrum.

    Most people never had to worry about how to convert their retirement savings into income for the rest of their lives. There was a simple solution - people simply handed their pot of money to an insurance company, who offered them a guaranteed income for the rest of their lives in return. Today's low annuity rates, closure of increasing numbers of defined benefit schemes and the Pension Freedoms, introduced by the UK Government in 2015, ripped up the retirement income planning rulebook. The book confronts the challenge of how to secure a sustainable income that lasts a lifetime from your portfolio. It delves into the detail of the various withdrawal strategies, asset allocation and the unavoidable question of how long before you pop your clogs. This book helps retirees and their advisers navigate the treacherous retirement income landscape, using sound empirical evidence and practical application.

     Like it or not, a healthy credit score is essential if you want to participate in today’s financial world. But very few people actually understand how their credit score is determined. Worse yet, most don’t know how their score is used by all kinds of companies and banks to dictate financial terms that will strongly affect their daily lives. When consumers interact with the world of credit, they do so from a position of weakness. In Your Score, Anthony Davenport aims to change that. Finally, here is a road map for navigating the confusing world of consumer credit. Drawing on the real stories of his own firm’s high-profile clients, as well as the stories of middle-class Americans, he reveals the hidden credit pitfalls that await even the most careful consumer and shares smart strategies to avoid them.  An accessible but detailed manual, Your Score finally lets readers take control of their credit score, understand how to play the game, and gain an insider’s knowledge of how to better navigate the most important financial decisions of their lives.

    

    Even experienced technologists sometimes miss the point, claiming that blockchain is either a magic pill that will save the entire humanity, or that it is no better than the traditional database with its old tricks. Of course, both views are far from reality. In our book, we set focus on the principles of blockchain and decentralized technologies and answer the question of why a particular technology was designed in a certain way. What is inside: Profound ideas in simple language Principles of how things work are explained in illustrated examples Not only theory. Technical material is described with real examples of transactions, blocks, etc. More than 170 unique pictures in different abstraction levels (from metaphors and real-life analogs to detailed charts and in-depth illustrations) Technology as it is. Even the most revolutionary technologies have their drawbacks, limitations, challenges, and risks. We openly speak about them. The book has been proofread by around 100 reviewers including members of the Bitcoin community, leading cryptographers, and financial experts. The idea of decentralization has led to an emergence of a new movement, and with it, offers something far more profound: a drastically new approach that has the power to change the fundamental principles of human interaction. In today's world, people increasingly want to be able to verify rather than just trust. The appearance of Bitcoin has shown that a financial system can exist without a single decision-making center; it can be transparent to anyone while maintaining the privacy of user payments. The principles and architecture of Bitcoin can be applied to solve a wide range of problems, from voting and mutual settlement to supply chain management. Blockchain as a method of secure storage and synchronization of data becomes a tool that allows building reliable and transparent accounting systems. The main goal of this book is to explain the principles of decentralized systems in the aspects of decision-making, data storage, security management, trusted audit, and privacy. We have carefully selected topics to provide a comprehensive view of the most important technologies for those who wish to innovate. Some of the chapters are focused on technical details, and we do understand that they might seem complicated for the readers without a technical background. However, we aimed to concentrate primarily on a conceptual component, which can be striking for anyone interested in Fintech.

    Laid-back investing is not only easier, it can actually make you richer.Learn how to kill off debt, curb spending, find your best KiwiSaver fund, save painlessly, buy a house or be happy not buying one, and move confidently towards and through retirement (hint: you don't need $1 million). You'll also learn why it's best to 'set and forget' your investments. And why, beyond a certain point, having more money is not the key to happiness.Unlike many writers of finance books, Mary is not selling anything (except this book!). She just wants you to do well. She's on your side.'Mary has that rare ability to cut through the jargon to what really matters.

    until it doesn't. If you held only A-list stocks in 2007, your portfolio was still cut in half the very next year. Unless you've got a 30-year horizon that affords you the privilege of waiting out the bad times, you need a different approach. A trading system with no emotion. The Stock Market Cash Trigger is a mechanical model that takes emotion out of the mix. It automates decision making, and requires no special tools or software. Other timing models with proven track records are often built around proprietary algorithms and offered up as subscription alerts to the tune of $50, $75, $100 or more per month.All you need here is a computer, the chart page that comes bundled with your online brokerage account, and 5 minutes of your time a month. If you invest in stocks or ETFs, you can dramatically improve your returns. More than just protection, this model will show you how to profit from corrections, crashes and bears.-- Like Microsoft? If you had held it during 2008, you would have been down -44%. Had you employed the Stock Market Cash Trigger, you would have been up +27% that year.-- Like Exxon? From 2000 to 2017, you could have doubled your total return vs. buy-and-hold.-- Prefer an ETF? Buying and holding QQQ for the past 17 years would have gotten you a +91% total return. Trading QQQ based on the Stock Market Cash Trigger would have generated +1,050%.Yes, these are backtested returns, and there's no shortage of critics of backtesting. For that matter, there's no shortage of critics of mechanical trading systems, either. For the record, most investors would be well advised to buy wisely (that is, buy broad-market ETFs) and hold on for dear life.But if you can't? If you're time horizon isn't 30+ years? If you don't have the fortitude to ride markets up and then down, up and then down, ad nauseam? Then maybe you owe it to yourself to explore a simple method that reduces risk and volatility in your portfolio, and lets you sleep soundly at night without worries of market bears or bursting bubbles. A note from the author. "The Stock Market Cash Trigger is not magic and it's not rocket science. It's a technique hiding in plain sight on the simplest of stock charts.I didn't invent it, I just gathered up the puzzle pieces that were there on the floor all along; eliminated those that didn't fit, put the pieces that did into a structure, and verified results through backtesting.See if it doesn't open your eyes like it did mine." --DAC Is a market crash coming?

    In a tale of feuds, grandiose dreams and a struggle for supremacy between rival strategies and their adherents, Philip Augar gives a riveting account of Barclays' journey from an old Quaker bank to a full-throttle capitalist machine. The disagreement between those ambitious for Barclays to join the top table of global banks, and those preferring a smaller domestic role more in keeping with the bank's traditions, cost three chief executives their jobs and continues to divide opinion within Barclays, the City and beyond.This is an extraordinary corporate thriller, which among much else describes how Barclays came to buy Lehman Brothers for a bargain price in 2008, why it was so keen to avoid taking government funding during the financial crisis, and the price shareholders have paid for a decade of barely controlled ambition. But Augar also shows how Barclays' experiences are a paradigm for Britain's social and economic life over thirty years, which saw the City move from the edge of the economy to its very centre. These decades created unprecedented prosperity for a tiny number, and made the reputations of governments and individuals but then left many of them in tatters.The leveraged society, the winner-takes-all mentality and our present era of austerity can all be traced to the influence of banks such as Barclays. Augar's book tells this rollercoaster story from the perspective of many of its participants - and also of those affected by the grip they came to have on Britain.

    To organize all of our thoughts we have the following sections:Financial Benchmarks and Overview: In this section we provide a broad overview of how much we think an intelligent individual can be worth by age. This is more of a fun introduction and gives the reader an idea of what we believe is doable without giving up any part of your personal life (still have time to party, have fun and live a free life). We offer three high level strategies: Risk on, Risk Neutral and Risk Averse. By giving away three different ideas, we don’t have to do any sort of specific consulting. Simply decide on your own risk tolerance and you’ll invest in the various asset classes. As usual, we bias towards the positive side. So if you can do better than the numbers we provide, we agree! There are many people who make their first billion dollars before they even turn thirty. Anything is possible. We simply provide a framework for the “ambitious” individual.Overview of Stocks: The basic dollar cost averaging strategy still works. And. We give away what we own in our actual portfolio (beyond ETFs). We give 1) a basic explanation of why ETFs can cause a large downturn and 2) what we own in our actively managed accounts. The actively managed portfolio is a long-term holding and talks about “where the world is moving”. Some of them have specific stocks we own other parts talk more broadly. This section is essentially tailored for someone in their late 20s or older. If you’re thinking about managing your own money, we assume that you already have a business up and running and a high paying career. Otherwise you should continue with the dollar cost averaging strategy.To avoid any confusion, unless you’re financially independent, it does not make sense to do anything else beyond ETFs. Why? Well if you are not financially independent, this means you’re not generating enough income. You can scrimp and save and try to generate 5-10% in additional returns but it will not move the needle when compared to creating your own business or growing your career. We focus on the big money first then you can move onto the smaller “fun items” like trying to outperform the market long-term.Overview of Real Estate: This is the most actionable section. Unlike crypto currencies and stocks, real estate has a blue print so to speak. We give ours away and realize that there are millions of ways to get rich in real estate. In fact, we know people who would laugh at our strategy because it is not aggressive enough. That said, it works if you’re running a couple of online businesses combined with a busy career. If you’re following the strategy in Efficiency (online sales), this strategy is for you since it is scalable and profitable. At the end of the day, people will need a place to live so real estate will not be going away any time in the near-future.Our strategy is not for people who intend on doing Real Estate full time. The good news is we do explain how real estate investors make a living in the sector as a full time profession. The well known “BRRRR” strategy still works: Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance and Repeat. Our product is not meant for someone in this situation and is meant for people who want to diversify their income without taking on substantial risk. The key word there is “substantial” since all investment vehicles have risk.Overview of Crypto Currencies: No one will agree with this section. The one thing we can all agree on (at least those that have done their research!) is that it will change the world in ways we cannot imagine. Whether it is called Bitcoin or something else, crypto currencies are here to stay and we should do serious research into the space before the technology is truly understood. We provide our opinions and strategy for investing in the space. We also give out business ideas and ways to participate in the upside without owning a single coin.We are happy to share the investments we have, while we won’t give away the dollar amount, you’ll find the percent allocated into this sector along with the coins that we currently own. Since this is more of a venture investment (lots of volatility and many moving pieces) we have created a special way to keep up with the space. We don’t think it is right to re-charge every year for the same book so we will have a surprise for those that purchase the product and actually read it! This makes the page count “constantly increase”. You’ll see when you read it! Note: there is no way we can cover everything (it changes too much and there are too many coins). And. On a positive note. We can give you a good way to start while avoiding a lot of the noise. We will also have more Q&As in 2018.Overview of Bonds/CDs: Basic stuff here. Since our blog is tailored to younger people trying to become deca-millionaires, we don’t cover it as much. If someone is over the age of 40-50 they already have a different risk tolerance and have a personal view on the amount that should be allocated towards bonds. This is the shortest section since interest rates are low and protecting principal is simply not that interesting.Portfolio Overview by Age: Here is yet another controversial section, we will outline our own personal investment strategy at this time. Meaning, if we were starting all over again, where would we put our money? We would remind everyone that this is more of a risk on blog. If someone already doesn’t have to work for a living (financially independent and wouldn’t need to work even if there was a 50% market correction), then what is the point of saving money in “CDs”. We just don’t understand that logic and take a different approach.Conclusion and Putting it All Together: This product will not be a “fun read”. Similar to Efficiency we cut straight to the chase and to the point. We don’t like wasting time and don’t like filler words like 99% of all of the products out there. Having a summary section is helpful to make sure all of the items are understood and can be recalled with a few simple pages (similar to how we structured Efficiency).

    The DST is a synthesis of one hundred years of real estate, securities, and tax laws that provide an investment entity that allows the modern real estate investor to build a diversified portfolio of institutional grade real estate under protective securities regulations and enjoy the tax advantages of gain nonrecognition using IRC section 1031 like-kind exchanges. The book not only introduces the DST but also guides the reader through the investment process by providing perspective in the choosing of brokers, sponsors, and properties as well as a more in-depth analysis of the DST offering (John Harvey, CPA, MBT, author). The book provides a clear explanation of DST's and how they provide opportunities for smaller investors access to institutional properties otherwise not available to them, because of the large equity requirements and access to reasonable financing. The 1031 exchange is linked very nicely, explaining the DST opportunity for diversification in more than one investment that helps balance overall risk in the 1031 exchange. Trump tax plan is expertly explained and its impact on the DST structure. Book describes clear example of the tax savings of a 1031 exchange and the benefit of compounding on deferred taxes avoided at time sale. Good examples of dos and don'ts in the 1031 exchange (Kosmas G. Toskos, DST investor).

    Would you rather earn interest than pay it, and eliminate the necessity of paying fees to banks and jumping through hoops to get loans? Are you frustrated with being over-taxed and/or being dependent on a volatile stock market? Do you suspect that the ultra-wealthy play by a different set of rules than you do, and that their secrets have been kept just out of your reach? What would it mean to you and your family if you knew these rules to play by them too?

    Along the way, he mines the lessons of the past for insights that inform how to be thinking about the future.“Dr. Ed” was among the first Wall Street prognosticators to see the bullish consequences of disinflation and globalization for stocks and bonds during the 1980s and 1990s. He was the first economist on Wall Street to recognize the importance of Baby Boom demographic trends. In 1993, he started writing about the “High-Tech Revolution in the US of @”—presaging the enormous impact that technological advances would have on life today. After China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, he foresaw the resulting commodity boom. Dr. Ed turned bearish on financial services stocks during June 2007 before the financial crisis hit with full force. Although he wasn’t bearish enough on the overall stock market back then, he correctly called the market’s bottom the week after it was hit in March 2009, remaining steadfastly bullish during the nine-year bull run through the start of 2018.In Predicting the Markets, Dr. Ed explains his reasoning behind all these predictions. He also explores why so many conventional forecasting models have been so frequently wrong. His approach is based on common sense rather than complicated and often misguided theories. He demystifies what can often seem like a complex tangle of countervailing forces impacting financial markets and provides a highly engaging how-to guidebook for profiting from outside-the-box thinking, while avoiding the groupthink of consensus forecasting. Yet Dr. Ed’s book can be read by anyone with an interest in financial markets and economics; no prior knowledge is necessary. All the major issues that investors must sort through as they navigate financial markets are explained in a clear and logical way.Dr. Ed believes everyone can benefit from a better understanding of the forces that shape our financial lives. Accordingly, Predicting the Markets is chock-full of important lessons not only for institutional investors but also for individual investors, as well as business professionals and students. When it comes to predicting the global economy and financial markets, Dr. Ed has literally written the book.

    This should serve as a play book for future policy makers, with practical guidance about what to do and what not to do.” - Tim Geithner “Dalio’s approach, as in his investment management, is to synthesize information, and to convert a sprawling and multi-faceted issue into a clear-cut process of cause and effect.  Critically, he simplifies without over-simplifying.” - Financial Times For the 10th anniversary of the 2008 financial crisis, one of the world’s most successful investors, Ray Dalio, shares his unique template for how debt crises work and principles for dealing with them well. This template allowed his firm, Bridgewater Associates, to anticipate events and navigate them well while others struggled badly. As he explained in his #1 New York Times Bestseller, Principles: Life & Work, Dalio believes that most everything happens over and over again through time so that by studying their patterns one can understand the cause-effect relationships behind them and develop principles for dealing with them well. In this 3-part research series, he does that for big debt crises and shares his template in the hopes reducing the chances of big debt crises happening and helping them be better managed in the future. The template comes in three parts provided in three books: 1) The Archetypal Big Debt Cycle (which explains the template), 2) 3 Detailed Cases (which examines in depth the 2008 financial crisis, the 1930’s Great Depression, and the 1920’s inflationary depression of Germany’s Weimar Republic), and 3) Compendium of 48 Cases (which is a compendium of charts and brief descriptions of the worst debt crises of the last 100 years). Whether you’re an investor, a policy maker, or are simply interested, the unconventional perspective of one of the few people who navigated the crises successfully, Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises will help you understand the economy and markets in revealing new ways.

    Geared for newcomers to currency trading, the book takes its readers through the fundamentals of the market and provides easily-understood explanations of basic principles and terminology. One particularly interesting feature that distinguishes Zack Zarr’s book from other publications on forex trading is that it provides its readers with a novel way of gaining insight into market developments. As Zarr points out early in the book, forex trading is the playground of two basic types of traders: individuals like Zarr (and presumably his readers), and what he terms the “big players.” It’s a dramatically uneven playing field, pitting relatively inexperienced amateurs trading alone with their own limited funds against corporate professionals trading with the advice and copious budgets of their employers. The ability of these solitary traders to influence the directions of markets is negligible, while the big players have the money and the volume to place their collective hands on the steering wheel. So, Zarr concluded early in his ten-year trading career, if you can’t beat them, join them – not by applying for a job with your corporate competitors, but by getting inside their heads and figuring out how they think. That way, you can not only understand their moves, you can also anticipate them. Unlike some of his counterparts, Zac Zarr is no snake oil salesman. He offers no wild promises of amazing profits for just following a few simple directions. Zarr does, however, establish a warm and empathetic relationship with his readers as he provides straightforward step-by-step explanations with hundreds of examples based on his own real-life forex trading experiences.  Although “How to Trade Forex and Currency Markets: A Beginner’s Guide to Professional Forex Trading” was written primarily for beginners, it’s a book that many veteran traders will also want to read to gain new insights into the workings of currency markets.

    A great read for digital nomads, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to break free of the rat race to build the life they want. If you loved Rich Dad/Poor Dad, Millionaire Next Door and the 4 Hour Work Week, you'll resonate with Dana's approach to opting out and building the life you want. Whether you want to live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, and be your own boss...or want to vagabond around the world, or live on an island and not work for a year, you can’t do it by following the rules. You’ve got to opt out. And as entrepreneur Dana Robinson has learned, escaping the rat race doesn’t come by working harder and spending less. It comes from knowing the tricks employed by other dropouts and rebels that have enabled them to beat the system and live the life most of us only dream about. Opt Out is the story of serial-entrepreneur Dana Robinson’s life-long quest to learn the secrets of those who have successfully tapped into the hidden path to real success. From a string of major life changes and bold business risks to abruptly giving up the American dream for the beaches of Bali, Dana details his personal path to success through incredible stories and hard-found truth. Along the way, his life-changing discoveries on how to successfully hack the system offer an in-depth instruction manual for anyone looking to reinvent their own lives in a world that rewards those that take path less traveled. The only question is – are you ready to opt out? Dana Robinson is an attorney, entrepreneur, law professor and Linkedin Learning educator. But, those credentials didn’t get him the life he lives. Dana’s entrepreneurial ventures began when he was a kid, selling the family chicken eggs to neighbors, mowing lawns and making hair clips he sold to girls in middle school. He launched his first real business at 19, sold that four years later then started another. Since then he’s owned, co-owned and invested in over a dozen ventures: from shoes to audiobooks; shelving to wine barrels; software to real estate. Along the way, he’s gathered a tribe that might appear to be a motley crew of non-conformists and the unemployable. But, that tribe is actually made up of subversive millionaires who are living a life that most people envy. They do what they want, when and how they want. Dana’s opt out life includes living in seaside mansions and driving luxury cars. But, it also includes a year in Bali surfing, exploring, and writing this book. Dana didn’t cash out with millions, win the lottery or inherit a dime. He’s not another business guru, or a tech billionaire. He’s just an average middle-class guy who hustled and reinvented what it means to be rich through counterintuitive ideas, hacks, and opting out of the mainstream approach to life, money and business. He’s achieved what people think success is all about: money, cars, homes, travel and luxury goods. But, not the way others accomplish this. He broke the rules and stole the good life. He reveals his secrets in this book.

    Customarily, merchants have had to tie up vast amounts of capital when acquiring stock. But, this is unnecessary if you use dropshipping. With a dropshipping model, there is no need to purchase a product without you already having made the sale, and having been paid by your customer. Devoid of substantial up-front inventory investments, it is very possible to begin a thriving dropshipping business without minimal financial backup. It’s Easy to Start
Running e-commerce businesses is easier when you don't have to deal with handling physical products. When you dropship, you have no worries about • Paying for, or managing a warehouse 
• Packing and shipping your customers’ orders 
• Tracking the inventory for accounting purposes 
• Handling inbound shipments or any returns, physically 
• Repeatedly ordering products and maintaining stock levels 
• Needing a storage place to hold physical products
 Low Overheads
 Because there is no reason to deal with purchasing any inventory or the management of a warehouse, your overheads and businesses expenses can be quite small. Many successful dropshipping companies are run from home offices with a single computer for less than $100 per month. As your business grows, it’s likely these expenses will increase, but nonetheless, they will still be low when compared to traditional brick-and-mortar companies.
 Dropshipping businesses can be run from almost anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. This is vital to allow communication with your suppliers and your customers, both quickly and efficiently. Many successful online stores are run by people when they live outside of their home country, too. 
Because there is no need to pre-purchase any items you sell, you can offer a broader array of products to potential customers. So, if your supplier stocks a certain product, you can list it for sale in your online store, or on the platform you use, at no additional cost.
 With conventional business types, if you have orders for three times as much business, it is likely you'll need to perform three times as much work. With the leveraging of dropshipping suppliers, the majority of the work in processing additional orders is borne by your suppliers. This allows you to expand your business with fewer growing pains. Sales growth always brings some extra work. In most cases, this is primarily related to customer service. Companies that exploit dropshipping as a necessity, scale exceptionally well, especially when compared to conventional e-commerce businesses. 
All of these benefits make dropshipping an advantageous and efficient model to both new and established merchants, alike. Regrettably, dropshipping isn't always a bed of roses, though. All this convenience and flexibility comes with a few disadvantages. Let’s shed some light on these.
