Psychics provide a different investing insight
San Francisco Chronicle USA
“People will entertain the irrational when what they consider rational collapses. Quackery? Whatever. After all the nation’s supposed experts on the economy from pundits on the networks to billionaire investment bankers have not been exactly reliable. And spiritual readings as they are known appear to be one of the few growth sectors in a contracting economy. “My phone is ringing off the hook” said Roxanne Usleman a psychic in Manhattan. Usleman who says she channels angels to advise her clients on interpersonal and financial matters reported both a spike in traffic on her Web site and a significant surge in private consultations. She used to see comfortably 15 to 20 clients a week she said.

Value investing: value for money
Stuff.co.nz New Zealand
But its new value fund launched this week will be available for anybody with a much more modest $5000 to invest or $100 a week for those who want to drip-feed money into the markets. Swasbrook is what is termed a value investor. One definition of value investing is the practice of investing in companies whose shares trade at very low premiums or discounts to their net asset backing. In other words investors are paying for a company's land inventory buildings and cash in the bank and either getting the business for free or for a nominal sum. It is a form of investing pioneered by the famous "Dean of Wall St" Benjamin Graham and one of his concepts the "Margin of Safety" which Graham outlined in his seminal The Intelligent Investor is central to the way Swasbrook invests. That concept refers to the fact that when a company's share price is near or below its net tangible asset backing even in the worst case scenario there can't be much further for it to fall or someone will step in and buy it or break the company up. That means value investing is in theory less risky than growth investing which tends to focus on companies that look likely to deliver high growth although they usually come at a high price.
Business column: Baseball investing involve taking risks
Times Herald-Record NY
In fact The Babe and The Splendid Splinter struck out more than 2000 times between them over many years. Nevertheless both Ruth and Williams understood that their legacy and career depended not on one single at-bat but on the thousands and thousands of their respective at-bats. Investors should consider and understand the parallel between baseball and investing: both involve taking risk and possibly not meeting expectations. In both sports and investing it is the long-term results that should be judged and measured. With this in mind it is important to recognize the one of the difficult decisions many investors may be faced with: selling an investment that will generate a loss. Nobody likes to lose money and The Babe and The Kid did not like to strike out. However sometimes taking an investment loss because of the future prospects of the investment is a prudent decision.
