Weekend Quote from a Book - Stock Investing: Large versus Small Firms |
Size is a constraint to growth and carries with it diseconomies of scale. Most big companies are cumbersome; they are just waiting to be extinct. We analysts are always told of the advantages of size: market share, market power, and dominance. In reality, it is quite the opposite. Smaller firms have better cost controls, are more flexible, and tend to be more niched. They lead the new developments and market changes. And smaller companies with more dynamic growth attract the best personnel. Investors should not be lead astray by companies that claim their mammoth size is a favorable attribute. Corporate bulk is usually a negative.

Weekend Quote from a Book - Multiple Streams of Income |
M in the Money Tree Formula Stands for Multiple Streams of Income
The first goal in starting your own home-based business is to add another stream of income to your life as a safety net in case other of your streams of income dry up. The home-based business you select should be a source of more than just one stream of income. It should eventually become a source of multiple streams of income all by itself.
For example, suppose you’re considering buying an existing restaurant. What is its potential for growth? Can you add more shops? Is your idea franchisable? Can one of your food entrees` be sold nationwide as a frozen item? Can you license your special cooking secrets to other restaurants? Is there a cookbook in there somewhere? What about bottling and selling your special sauces? Get the drift? Don’t even consider a business that doesn’t have expansion potential for additional streams of income. That’s why the first M in the formula is intended to remind you of multiple streams of income.

Weekend Quote - Critics' Memory |
"I do think it's important for all of us to remember, even though it's been almost a year, what was happening in this country when we walked through that front door," he said. "Because, you know, people seem to have a sort of selective memory. People seem to forget. They seem to think that suddenly I was sworn in and there was this big financial crisis. So let's just do a little walk down memory lane."

Weekend Quote from a Book - Wealth accumulation |
"If you have not acquired more than a bare existence in the years since we were youths, it is because you have either failed to learn the laws that govern the building of wealth, or else you do not observe them. ‘Fickle fate’ is a vicious goddess who brings no permanent good to anyone…makes wanton spenders, who soon dissipate al they receive."
Easy money doesn’t stick around is what Arkad preaches. So true. Think of people close to you who have won lotteries and the like. The far majority are without today!
Arkad was asked the obvious question about how he has acquired his fortune. He made an assessment from his early years that the things that brought happiness and contentment were magnified by the existence of wealth.
“Wealth is power. With wealth many things are possible.”

Weekend Quote - Dollar Devaluation |
TheStreet: Will the dollar see a bottom?
Jim Rogers: Well, the dollar is a terribly flawed currency so maybe soon it's due for a rally because there are so many pessimists, including me. Whenever everyone is on the same side of the ship, it tips over and you should go to the other side. I hope I'm smart enough ... , if it rallies, to sell more of my dollars and maybe all the rest of my dollars ... The problems for the U.S. dollar are not resolved. I don't like saying this because I am an American citizen and pay America taxes just like you. I don't like saying it, I don't like saying it at all. But we have to deal with fact.

Weekend Quote - Credit Score |
Unwise credit usage has limited many people's ability to effectively play the financial game of life. Ill-advised credit management decisons often result in people being denied access to economic opportunities, not because of the color of their skin or the content of their character, but only because of a score on their credit report. The credit score has emerged as the most important determinant in the credit-granting process. Frederick Douglass, an African American statesman, was right when he said, that we "may not get everything that we pay for; but we must pay for everything that we get." We must all pay for everything that we purchase. however, individuals with low credit score must pay more for their financed purchases.

Weekend Quote - Taking Action |
Every day you don't take action to achieve your dreams is a day you are creating more of what you have right now. If what you have now is perfect, then you only have to take the same actions to continue to maintain it. Great. But then don't tell me your life isn't what you want. If you're complaining about the way things are without taking any steps to change it, you're likely to end up being one of the "Ain't It Awful" people who are constantly whining about the price of gasoline, or taxes, or houses, or the weather, the traffic, the kids these days, television commercials, their spouse, the neighbors, and email spam.
