| Article Title :: The IRA Owned LLC, A Great Potential for Investing |
| |
|
"So many investors are tired of watching their retirement
accounts dwindle away from the lackluster performance of the
stock market, while the value of their home and surrounding
areas increase in the double digits," said Marco Caporale,
President and CEO of Independent Executive Management, LLC.
Although using your retirement account to purchase real estate
does offer the potential for two to three times the annual
appreciation of traditional stocks, it does come with a lot of
regulations and severe penalties, if not correctly applied. That
is why the right account has to be set up.
If you read this far you are thinking, "All I have to do is open
a self-directed IRA." However, to truly s (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Choosing a Second Home has Never Been Easier |
| |
|
Choosing the right second home for your family is a challenging
proposition. There are even more variables than purchasing a
primary home. The first step is understanding your "type
options"... a traditional cottage, condo or one of the many new
alternatives, like condo hotel, fractional, private residence
clubs or timeshares. All of these options can be perfect choices
depending on your needs.
The next challenge is to choose "where" you would like to own.
Sometimes the answer has multiple locations, and this too is a
reason many second home buyers are seeking condo hotel,
fractional and timeshare. With these options a buyer can own
multiple homes at a lower cost.

| Article Title :: Is There Really a Magic Formula for Investing? |
| |
|
One question almost every investor asks at some point is whether
it is possible to achieve above market returns by selecting a
diversified group of stocks according to some formula, rather
than having to evaluate each stock from every angle.
There are obvious advantages to such a formulaic approach. For
the individual, the amount of time and effort spent caring for
his investments would be reduced, leaving more time for him to
spend on more enjoyable and fulfilling tasks. For the
institution, large sums of money could be deployed without
having to rely upon the investing acumen of a single talented
stock picker. Many of the proposed systems also offer the
advantage of matching the inflow (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Radical Debt Reduction Solutions |
| |
|
Are you in debt? Have you run out of options? There are
solutions out there, some radical, but one or more may be what
you need to help you get out of debt.
1. Bankruptcy. Yes, bankruptcy is an option for some,
especially if there is no way that you possibly could pay back
what you owe. The American constitution gives citizens the right
to be emancipated from debt and it is a choice that some must
select in order to be set free. However, recent changes in U.S.
bankruptcy laws have made filing for bankruptcy much more
difficult to do; search online for the latest information about
the new bankruptcy laws.
2. Consolidate Debt. Before seeking relief through
bankruptcy, consider (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Baltimore Mortgage Choices |
| |
|
Located in the upper Chesapeake Bay region, Baltimore is a city
rich in American history. During the War of 1812, Baltimore's
Fort McHenry came under attack by British forces which had just
completed the burning of Washington, DC some forty miles to its
south. The battle for Baltimore was a key turning point in the
war and saved the young union from certain defeat. It is this
tenacity of spirit that has sustained the city for nearly three
centuries and is what attracts new home buyers in their quest to
find affordable housing there. A Baltimore mortgage awaits you
if you want to invest in this historic city.

| Article Title :: Why Are Duopolies So Competitive? |
| |
|
Copyright 2006 Geoff Gannon
Duopolies can be surprisingly competitive. If you remember that
the price of a product or service is determined solely by the
highest losing bid price and the lowest losing ask price, you'll
realize why a duopoly can be so competitive. A large number of
inefficient competitors will have almost no affect on prices in
the long run unless someone (either a government or a group of
idiotic investors) is willing to continually finance
unprofitable operations in an unprofitable industry (think
airlines).
Of course, there is always the fear of a price fixing scheme in
a duopoly. Generally, however, that fear is unfounded. Human
nature suggests a price fixing scheme is (read full article) |
