If you want a simple high yield investment that has the potential to build wealth fast, then this article is for you. Here we outline a high yield investment opportunity that’s simple to understand, simple to invest in – and it could yield 100% annual gains.

The Background

This basis of this high yield investment is a well-known economic reality – and you can easily do it yourself, without an asset manager, or the help of a mutual fund.

Here’s the background:

. The global economy is expanding quickly.

. The new emerging economic super powers of China, and India, are hungry for raw materials.

. Geo political tensions are rising worldwide.

The fact is, the global economy is expanding – and it needs fuel.

This looks set to create a boom in commodities prices – creating a high yield investment opportunity for all.

How to Get In on the Action

For this high yield investment, lets pick out some markets, which could yield high capital growth rates.

Currencies

Commodities are on the move – so buy currencies of countries that are big commodity exporters – and here you should look at Canada, and Australia.

The Canadian dollar has quietly appreciated by 30% over the last 3 years. Investing in The Canadian dollar, with just 10: 1 leverage, would have given a return of 300%! A great high return investment – and there’s more to come:

The Australian Dollar has lagged behind – but looks set to move strongly, and it’s well placed to take advantage of the huge markets of India, China, as well as various countries all around the Pacific Rim.

CRB Index

Just as you can trade stock markets via indexes – you can also trade commodities.

The CRB is an index of a wide basket of commodities – and they’re on the move. After a recent pause, prices look set to take off again.

There’s another high yield investment that could make 100% annually – using a simple buy and hold strategy:

Platinum

We live in a world with increasing geo political tensions, and many traders are looking at gold as a hedge against volatility.

A great metal to invest in as a hedge is Platinum – already up by 30% since late last year – and it could explode to the upside.

Not only is Platinum an investment hedge against world tension – it’s also an industrial metal, with a high demand – in such areas as car production, and other hi-tech products.

Platinum is the ultimate high yield investment to hedge against stock market falls – or as a high yield investment in its own right.

The BIG One!

If you have followed the huge rises in oil recently, you may be surprised to learn that there’s another energy market set to soar in value – Natural Gas.

Why Natural Gas? – This is perhaps the best high yield investment of all in terms of potential.

The move has not yet started – The logic behind Natural Gas prices soaring, are compelling – and now could be the time to invest for the following reasons:

1. The US wants to reduce its reliance on overseas oil imports, and natural gas deposits are plentiful in the US over the longer term – but short-term demand exceeds supply.

2. Natural gas is environmentally friendly – being one of the cleanest fuels on earth.

3. Natural gas is the right fuel to meet US energy needs – and it’s produced domestically.

Over the coming years natural gas demand will grow – and supply will not keep pace with demand – The result? Huge price rises could be on the way.

A Natural Gas commodity investment could easily make 100% or more per annum – making it a good choice, for the ultimate, high yield investment opportunity.

Getting on Board

You don’t need a mutual fund, hedge fund or asset manager – you can simply buy, and hold these investments yourself. The best way to do this is with options – which offer you unlimited profit potential – and limited risk.

Your asset or fund manager normally makes money from commissions. They therefore like to turn your investment over frequently – to make commission for themselves, which will dilute your capital gains.

Your asset, or fund manager wouldn’t do this type of strategy – but you can!

There are plenty of brokers who will take your order – and help you pace them. There’s also plenty of free information on the net, which will show you how to buy, and hold, these high yield investments.

Realistic 100% Annual Gains

So, if you want a real high yield investment, with the potential for 100% annual profits, which you can understand, and trade easily – then check out the investments outlined above. Then get set for a high yield investment, which has the potential to deliver huge gains!

There have been many famous speculative bubbles in the past. There appears to be a few forming currently. While it can be profitable to ride the investment while a bubble is forming, it is important to recognize when an investment is in a bubble, and to get out before the bubble bursts. Doing that is, of course, easier said than done.

One of the earliest bubbles was the famous tulip bulb mania in Holland that ended in 1637. It seems very silly looking back that seemingly rational people would pay more than ten times an average annual salary for a single tulip bulb. That bubble burst, as it obviously had to, and prices came back down to earth. Many people were financially devastated in the process.

Another famous bubble was the South Sea bubble that burst in 1720. Shares of stock in the South Sea Company went from a little over 100 pounds to nearly 1000 pounds, and then right back to where it all started. This bubble, from nearly 300 years ago, sounds not unlike the gold bubble of less than 30 years ago. In the middle to late 1970’s the price of gold was trading much of the time around the $100 level. Then a huge rally gained steam at the end of that decade. The final blow-off occurred with gold reaching approximately $850 per ounce. Silver made an even greater advance. When the bubble finally burst in the first couple of months of 1980, there was a quick drop in both metals, with silver falling all the way back to the starting price. The gold market fared somewhat better, with prices holding about two and a half time the starting prices at the culmination of a 22-year bear market. Gold prices only now, after 27 years, are approaching the old record price, and that is not adjusted for inflation. Silver is still trading less than a third of the price it reached in 1980. Not a good long term hold.

Another great bubble was the tech and dot com mania of the late 1990’s. The price of any stock with a “dot com” in its name went on a parabolic price move upward. Many of these stocks had no earning, no prospect of earnings, no business plan, and only a vague idea for a product. Investors would bid up these shares to market caps far greater than many well-established companies with real products and earnings. Most of these stocks are now trading on the pink sheets for pennies. This bubble, in extent of the price rise and extent of the inevitable fall, far eclipses some of the more famous, older bubbles.

So what about today?

Perhaps the most obvious and visible bubble today is in the Chinese stocks. Some will argue that these are real companies with real earnings, with growth rates that justify the high prices. However, there is a mania in China as its citizen’s line up to open brokerage accounts by the tens of thousands every day, buying everything in sight. This is a group of people with little experience investing. They just buy because prices are going up, much like many beginning and even experienced investors did during the dot com mania. They will most likely get burned when the inevitable pin finds the bubble. Those analysts that should know better keep telling investors that “this time it’s different.” It is never different. The same story repeats again and again.

Another bubble in the process of bursting is the real estate market. Recently there have been headlines daily about investors making thousands of dollars overnight by house flipping. Condos were being pre-sold to flippers. People were borrowing on their increasing equity lines of credit to leverage more real estate holding, or just to live beyond their means. Ordinary housing was being priced far higher than any person working for a salary could afford. If you didn’t have a house to trade up from, a trust fund to tap, or an inheritance, you couldn’t possible come up with a down payment. People in high paying professional jobs couldn’t qualify for the most basis starter home in many markets. Schemes were worked out to get around the down payment requirement, and to get around the income reporting and verification requirements. This kept the bubble going. All the real estate agents in the world saying “this time it’s different” couldn’t stop that bubble from bursting.

One interesting exception currently is in the Manhattan real estate market. Prices of condos and co-ops in Manhattan are still rising fast as the rest of the county is seeing prices drop. What is happening? There are a few logical reasons. The city is more desirable now that it has been cleaned up and made safer. Congestion and travel times are a factor for people wanting to live close in rather than spending three or four hours a day commuting. But prices for decent apartments are well beyond the reach of anyone working for a salary and having to deal with financing. This is a problem in much of the nation, as pointed out earlier, but in New York it is magnified beyond reason. If a doctor or other highly trained and highly paid professional moved to Manhattan and wanted to purchase a home suitable for a family, he/she would not make anywhere near enough money to qualify for a home, let alone be able to save enough for 20% down. If a doctor cannot purchase a home near where his practice is, then I would suggest that area is in a bubble.

If the real estate boom continues in Manhattan, the only people left who will be able to afford an apartment will be hedge fund managers, star baseball players, rock stars, actors, or those receiving huge inheritances. The city will lose its soul and character. I hear so many stories of people who paid $200 thousand for an apartment 20 years ago, and are now able to sell it for six million. One new building on Central Park West with over 200 units, sold out with an average sales price of $10 million per unit. Apartments with a park view were getting over $6000 per square foot. As desirable and great as Manhattan is, the price of apartments is in a bubble. It will burst. Those who pay these prices will get burned when the bubble bursts. So what can pop this bubble? The falling dollar, another bubble in reverse, has encouraged foreign purchases of desirable real estate. The consensus on the dollar is that it will keep falling for the rest of eternity. It may well have hit bottom, or be close to it. Any reversal of the dollar could end the demand from foreign buyers. Also, since the hedge fund bonuses are a primary driver of the high-end real estate market, an end to those high fees would also cause a lowering of demand. Hedge fund manager fees are also in a bubble, in my opinion, as is CEO pay. How can a hedge fund manager justify taking such large fees with such generally poor performance? How can a CEO justify taking a $200 million fee for leaving a company when the price of its stock is in the tank?

Another bubble about to burst, in my opinion, is the art market. As with housing, part of the driver for the art market is the weak dollar, both from the aspect of art in the US being relatively cheaper for foreign investors, and as a place to get out of a fiat currency into something perceived to be more tangible. There was a story in the Wall Street Journal today about an actor who bought a horrible Warhol painting about five years ago for 3.5 million dollars, and it just sold at auction for 23.5 million dollars. That’s a pretty good return over five years for a piece of art that has questionable long-term appeal. Even more horrifying is the Rothko piece that sold for $73 million. If you are not familiar with Rothko, I’ll fill you in. He painted large canvases – about $100 dollars worth including the stretcher bars, and put about another $20 worth of paint, usually in three blobs that resemble a hamburger in a bun. And somehow that becomes worth $73 million to someone. I think when he first painted those abstract buns he could have put them out on the street with the trash and nobody would have picked them up. If you own a Warhol or Rothko, sell before reality sets in.

The classic car market has a bubble going on as well, at least in my opinion. There was a huge bubble in the late 1980’s in exotic 1960’s sports cars, especially Ferraris. There was a buying mania that brought up the prices paid at auctions well into the seven figures for cars that could have been purchased for a small fraction of that just a few years before. Many of the more desirable Ferraris increased by more than a hundred-fold in a very short time, eclipsing many of the famous bubbles throughout history. What was the reason for this bubble? Many would argue that it was driven by an insatiable appetite by many of the newly rich Japanese. Many of these Ferraris were bid up at auction on behalf of Japanese investors, and the cars were transported to vaults in Japan, much like people might store gold coins in their safe deposit boxes, with some difference in the size of the box of course. Many experts suspect the collector car auction houses rigged many of these auctions to inflate the prices. The Japanese investors didn’t seem to care what they paid as long as they got a car to put in the vault. And what caused this new found wealth for the Japanese investors? You might recall that the Japanese stock market was at the height of its bubble at about the same time. They were buying up US landmark buildings. The bubble in their stock market collapses, even though experts said it couldn’t, and it brought down the market for sports cars with it. The Japanese stock market has yet to get anywhere near its all time high as this is being written. The price of a few selected Ferraris is now only approaching the price, in dollar terms not adjusted for inflation, of the peak about 18 years ago.

So what does this have to do with a bubble in the classic car market now? The emphasis has shifted from exotic European sports cars to much more mundane and ordinary American muscle cars from the mid-60’s to early 1970’s. Very ordinary Plymouths and Chevys with a muscle car engine, and perhaps some factory paint option like a racing stripe or some other gimmick that would make the car slightly more rare than one off the showroom floor, are fetching prices at auction well into the six figures. I was astounded watching one auction where an orange ‘cuda (a Plymouth Barracuda) of early 1970’s vintage went for over $300,000. This was a car that probably cost under $4000 new. I would suspect five years ago if someone put the keys in the ignition and a sign saying “please take me” that there would be no takers. So why is this bubble happening? The classic car experts say it is because the baby boomer men that grew up in the 1960’s that weren’t for one reason or another able to buy these cars, are now in a position to recapture their youthful dreams. There may be something to this. I go to many car shows every year and see pot bellied men in their early 60’s standing next to their exhibited Chevelle, Corvette, or ‘Cuda. Also, unlike Ferraris, these cars were so undesirable for so long that most have probably been junked or poorly cared for, so clean specimens probably are somewhat rare. Similar cars from the 30’s, 40’s, or 50’s are not fetching anywhere near the prices of the American muscle cars.

It is very difficult to see the bubble from within. It is always obvious that a bubble existed once it has popped. Investors in stocks and futures have some advantage, as it is easier to put in a stop loss to protect against a drop when a parabolic price advance occurs. Other investments move at a much slower pace, which makes the rise and topping action much more difficult to spot. But when everyone says “this time it’s different” and then goes on to explain why the price advance will never stop, it is usually a good time to exit. If you are in a theater and smell smoke, it is probably wise to get up out of the seat and get near an exit. It might be a false alarm. Someone might have lit a match to set the time on their watch and the smell drifted past you. You can always return to your seat. But if you wait for proof, and smoke begins to fill the room, someone yells “fire,” and everyone rushes for the too few exits, you will wind up getting trampled trying to get out. It is better to sell when the demand is in a mania than after the top when everyone wants out.

Investment portfolio could be defined as a pool of different investments by which an investor bets to make profit while aiming to preserve his invested amount at the same time. The diversity of the investments in an investing portfolio depends upon the investors estimates of both risks and returns. They can either invest in stocks having low risk with low reward or in stocks having high risk with high reward. The decision of investment as well as the investment pattern of an investor depends upon his basic nature as well the amount of capital he wants to invest. There are mainly three types of investment. These are patient, aggressive and conservative investment portfolio. The investor having patient portfolio mostly invests in companies that give him/her regular returns no matter what the market conditions are. The investors with such investment portfolio hold their investment for a longer period. The investors with aggressive portfolios invest in risky stocks that could earn him high profit and their investments are mainly in rapidly growing companies. The main feature of their investment is it keeps on changing and experiences big turnovers over time. The conservative investment can be seen of the investors who always invest with an eye on the yield. They also take into account growth of the company as well as dividends offered. Based on this they take their investment decision.

For your investment portfolio working the best, you need to ably manage it. Below mentioned are some of the points that would help you to manage your investment portfolio better:

• You should never keep worrying about the performance of your every investment. There would be some that may be giving you bad returns at that point of time, but you have to forget about it and focus on the performance of your investment portfolio as a whole.
• You should have patience no matter how worse the situation turns and should always keep your focus on the eventual gains.
• You should always stick to your strategy while taking minimum risk and should not deviate from your investment plan hearing any rumour.
• Your stock investment should be diversified so that if you face loss in one or two profile it could be compensated. For example you can invest in small stocks, real estates investment trusts and in foreign stocks, but the investment should not be big.
• You should always adopt value-oriented and diversified approach and should not invest money in stocks that you may need immediately.
• You should not rebalance your portfolio often, give it some stability and don’t take the things for granted taking its history into account.
• You should not fill your portfolio with fashionable stocks as it will not gain you much profit.

For successful investment portfolio, you need to have sound investment strategy. There are mainly two types of strategies that are adopted by the people. One is passive portfolio strategy and the other is active portfolio strategy. In passive portfolio investment strategy the investor has minimum expectations from his investments and depends upon diversification on investment to match market index, while in active investment portfolio strategy the investor uses available information and forecasting techniques to seek a better performance. With the technological advancement even the modes of managing your investment portfolio is changing. Now technological help in the form of software is available in the market that helps you to manage your investment portfolio efficiently. But whether it’s taking technological help or formulating strategies manually, it’s your instinct as well as your market reading capability matters the most. So you should always back your investment portfolio with a sound investing strategy.

At the time you are tired of your unmanageable debts and have decided to sort these obstacles, then debt management may assist you in getting rid of your this tension.

Debt management is done either directly by the borrower or by a hired third party. In this method you or your hired third party may negotiate with your creditor to allow you to repay your debts with a lower interest rate or freezed charges. This loan merges your various debts into a single monthly payment.

Through a debt management program a borrower is entailed to make monthly installments to a single lender. This new loan is taken at lower interest rates and allows the borrower to save lot of money.

While you decide to manage your debts, the first step should be planning out things and framing a debt management plan. This plan is nothing but a record of your expenses and savings. The basic motive of a debt management plan is to keep debts at affordable level and simultaneously make efforts to eliminate them.

Getting indulged in unmanageable debts is not always due to carelessness in expenditure, but also because of some unexpected reasons like separation, job losses, illness or business failure. At such situations handling your debts becomes your utmost priority.

There are many ways to manage debts. By reducing your number of credit cards, avoid taking a new debt, avoid having too many bank accounts, curb as much expenditure as possible, reduce the borrower amount and keep it under 33% of the credit limit and pay off all your due bills and debts on time to avoid bad credit tags. Above all prepare a budget for your expenses and income, so that you can easily handle the debts and make necessary efforts to solve your problems. Hence, a debt management plan assists you to manage your debts and get rid of them with cutting on expenses and saving money.

About debt management

Are you in a financial crisis and had taken a number of loans? But debt always creates troubles if it is left unpaid. Debt management programs just manage your existing debts in a way well suited to you. Debt management is mainly beneficial to those who have already borrowed a large sum from the creditors and facing difficulties in repayment. For some people repaying the debts becomes a tedious task when its number increases.

The main reason lies in the fact that they can’t control their expenditure and this in turn adds to their existing debts. And without repaying the previous one they go for another debt and the burden keeps on increasing. Debt management plays a vital role in these types of situations. It helps you in every possible way to become debt free.

The necessity

Debt management is must for the customers who are on the verge of bankruptcy. Poor debt management and overspending generally leads to these types of situations. The late repayments have a bad impact on your credit rating so to avoid all these situations debt management is a better option. The main advantage of Debt management is that from a single platform any one is able to pay off his debts.

This helps in Repayment of over debts

Taking help from a debt management company in these situations is rather a better option than going for debt consolidation. But it is possible that a situation arise in which the monthly repayment exceeds your monthly income, and then debt consolidation is of no use. In these cases a person should go for debt management.

When you are going for debt management, it does mean that you are going for another loan; the debt management company takes a single fixed monthly payment which is paid to your existing loans. These companies offer you to manage any debts between £3000 and £250000. The repayment is generally paid by monthly installments which are fixed so that you can easily live your normal life.
