Investing in the entrepreneur next door

Article Abstract:

Investing in start-up companies can be profitable, but it also involves the risk of losses. The venture capital business in Britian tends to be geared toward mature companies involved in management buyouts. Investors in smaller companies may need to attract other investors. They have to assess the potential of the product or service of the company they are investing in, as well as the quality of its management. There may be development costs involved, and there may be competition.

Don't give up the day job

Article Abstract:

Day trading is a misnomer in that online traders tend to be employed in the daytime and actually trade during the evening. This is why there has been pressure for the New York Stock Exchange to stay open for longer. The internet has allowed day trading to develop, and some new investors have been attracted through the internet. Many people are unduly optimistic about their ability to make large amounts of money on the stock market, and they lose the intelligence they may display in other fields.

Queasy feeling just won't go

Article Abstract:

There are fears that stock prices could fall, though there has been concern about stock market valuations for some time, and stock prices have continued to rise. There is an argument that markets cannot be forecast but this also means that corrections have to be accepted. Investing in stocks should be a long term activity, but corrections can affect the long term under exceptional circumstances, as occurred in Japan in the 10 years from 1989. There have also been collapses in stock prices after peaks in 1965 and 1929, and this could occur again.
