[Quote No.27877] Need Area: Money > Invest "In a bear market just because a share has gone down does not mean it is good value...yet.

[Quote No.27886] Need Area: Money > Invest "[in real estate investing] When you consider income property [like blocks of apartments/flats], there are a few terms you should be familiar with: [1] potential gross income (PGI), [2] gross rent multiplier (GRM), [3] net operating income (NOI), [4] and the capitalization rate (or 'cap rate').
[1] Potential Gross Income is just as it sounds. Imagine you have a 10-unit building with market rents of $1,000 per unit. Your PGI is $10,000 a month or $120,000 a year. If you have laundry machines too, and you figure an average revenue from them of $25 per unit, your PGI is then $10,250 per month or $124,000 per year.
[2] Gross Rent Multiplier is a ratio. It's the purchase price of a property divided by the annual PGI. So if you pay $620,000 for the abovementioned property, you're paying five times PGI. Your GRM is five.
[3] Net Operating Income is the most important number in all of real estate. It's your PGI minus vacancy and collection losses minus expenses. Period.
[4] Capitalization Rate is the most quoted number in commercial real estate. It tells you how much income you are getting per dollar invested. Here's the formula: NOI divided by purchase price equals the cap rate." - Justin Ford author of Main Street Millionaire, a value-focused real estate investment program.

[Quote No.27889] Need Area: Money > Invest "Wile E. Coyote, after scraping himself off the canyon floor, again gives chase, heedless of the dangers ahead, oblivious to any lessons he might learn. Because he is only a cartoon character, no matter how many times he gets splattered, he never really gets hurt. But life is not a cartoon. And if you are the one to take a nose dive when the economy makes an unexpected turn, the pain is real. It may not be so easy to peel yourself off the canyon floor. [Therefore it is important to carefully consider the business cycle as this will help you make wiser choices in your business, your share investing and even when you buy or sell your home.]" - Lakshman Achuthan and Anirvan Banerji authors of 'Beating the Business Cycle', where this quote comes from.

[Quote No.27947] Need Area: Money > Invest "When the Federal Reserve decides to increase the money supply, it buys [rather than sells] U.S. bonds, shrinking the bond supply. As the money supply increases [with the cash the Fed uses to buy the bonds], interest rates – sometimes referred to as the ‘price’ of money (actually, the price of renting money) – are lowered [as now there is more cash about looking for a home so the rates don’t have to be so high to attract attention]. So now, if you had a stock and bond that both yielded 10 percent, for instance, the bond’s price would rise [as now the same number of bond investors are competing for fewer bonds] so that its yield would decrease along with the interest rate to say 8 percent. The stock with the same 10 percent yield now looks a lot better than the 8 percent bond, and hence, it will be in greater demand than it was before, relative to the bond. The law of supply and demand translates into higher stock prices. Thus, as the Fed loosens its purse strings, stock prices rise. [and vice versa. Therefore the old share market investment wisdom, ‘Don’t Fight the Fed’.]" - Ken Fisher Founder, Chairman and CEO of Fisher Investments, with over $40 billion under management.

[Quote No.27948] Need Area: Money > Invest "When a government budget spends more than it receives in taxes it creates a fiscal deficit. Therefore the government - in order to get the money – through its treasury department - must take a loan from investors [including the central bank]. It does this by getting the Treasury Department to create Government bonds, that promise to pay back the loan and give an interest rate that is considered very safe as it is backed by the government's ability to tax its citizens' incomes, and then putting these up for sale." - Unknown Author's Info on Wikipedia - Author on ebay - Author on Amazon - More Quotes by this Author Start Searching Amazon for Gifts Send as Free eCard with optional Google Image |

[Quote No.27956] Need Area: Money > Invest "The Dow theory is based on the belief that the stock market always reflects three distinct movements: 1-A primary trend of four or more years [bull/up or bear/down markets as part of the business cycle]. 2-A secondary reaction of about two weeks to a month [either up or down]. 3-Day-to-day fluctuations. The primary movement has been compared to the tide of the ocean; the secondary reaction has been compared to the waves, which sometimes sweep up on the beach despite an ebbing tide or fall back despite a rising tide; and the daily fluctuations, to ripples and splashes that are unimportant by themselves, but must be considered in the whole picture. The primary trend was said to be bullish when the average of one high point tops those of previous points – just as the tide is said to be rising when waves peak one another." - Ken Fisher Founder, Chairman and CEO of Fisher Investments, with over $40 billion under management.

[Quote No.27961] Need Area: Money > Invest "It [-the book ‘The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind’, by French social theorist Gustave LeBon] brought me the realization that the action of the stock market is nothing more nor less than a manifestation of crowd psychology [and the human emotions of fear and greed]. With this insight, an apparently irrational stock market became comprehensible...the price investors are willing to pay for one dollar’s worth of dividends [the ratio of stock prices to their dividends changes depending on their emotions.] The more confident they are, the more they’ll pay [for the same stocks and thereby the lower the dividend yield]; the more worried they become the less they will pay. [He used this to develop his market ‘Senti-Meter’, which he calculated by dividing the Dow Jones Industrials Average price index figure by the aggregate annual dividends per share of the 30 companies in the average.]" - Edson Gould Stock market forecaster, who wrote the highly regarded ‘Findings and Forecasts’ investment newsletter.
