July 21, 2010 - The concept of "Self Finance" is to create money for all our own purchases ...

Josh Wrote:

Brian,

 
This is Joshua.  I know we haven't spoken in a while, mostly because of how busy I am these days.  Could I get your advice?

 

I have been approved for a medium sized loan ($6000) and I would like to leverage it without jeopardizing the original loan amount.  

In other words, I would like to know what you think is best way to accrue interest and leverage on this loan to break even, if not come out in the black.  

How would you go about it?  (You're about the only one I can trust to ask this that will give me wholesome and sound advice.)

 

I look forward to speaking to you soon!

 
Thanks in advance,
Josh


 Hello Josh ..

My back ground as a business man and entrepreneur has given me values that are very "Black and White" when it comes to loans.... 

The value system is that  we eliminate all personal debt and only borrow if absolutely necessary for business purposes ... for instance sometimes it makes sense to borrow money to buy a cash flowing property ....  and the exception to the rule on personal debt is that it is better to pay on a mortgage than to pay rent .....

So the simple formula would be to calculate the cost of the loan .... if the "Return on Investment" is less than the cost of the loan we simply do not do it ....

I have created my "Self Finance" training for the purpose of training people to create blocks of money for themselves from the activity of "Day Trading" or "Swing Trading" on the stock market ... so that they do not use the route of "Personal Debt" as the first source of money for large personal or business purchases ....

I am trying to get people to realize that it is not really necessary to borrow money ....

My suggestion is that you calculate what the payments on the loan would be on a monthly basis .... make those payments into a "Brokerage" account to yourself instead of the bank .... and then learn how to "Swing Trade" with the cash that you accumulate into the brokerage account ....

Hope that helps you Josh ....

The best to you always !

Brian

      I was wondering if the stock market crashed what happens to the funds there? i have gold/resources fund in RRSP contributions   which I don't want to lose. if i take them out to something insurable like a GIC then i have to cash them in don't I? What happens if the banks fail - currency crash - to the funds in the bank? the FDIC couldn't sustain the blow? I understand JP Morgan & Chase have exited from FDIC as of Jan 1st.

     Hi Kim

     I love questions like this because it has to do with the very basis of the financial system which in turn has to do with   some very deep issues that stem from "Human Values" and Global politics .... which of course can easily "Boggle the Mind" .... sort of speak ... lol ...

Well in fact in October of 2008 we did see a systemic collapse of the financial system .... I was trading in real time .... that was very very scary because I watched everything literally cease up for 10 minutes .... the world was very fortunate that we have communication systems in place that allow world leaders to respond and take action to emergencies very quickly ....

The global leaders were able to move fast enough to stop a global financial collapse that would have made the depression of the thirties look like a field day .... lol .... 

enough joking aside now to really answer your question ...

In my opinion it is very important that each individual look at the definition of money from a "Birds Eye" view ...sort of speak and take the appropriate action to protect him or herself accordingly ...

Money is in fact in my opinion a "symbol" that defines (PERCIEVED VALUE) of the flow of human activity .... 

that activity manifests itself  in things we manufacture and of course in the "on going" services that support the process of same ...

I am a "Bottom Line" kind of guy in business and like to see my clients take the same kind of attitude in their personal financial affairs ....

So I would suggest that people really understand what has "VALUE" to themselves and then go ahead and move resources into those things that are most valuable ...

The stock market is the "Biggest Auction Sale" on the planet ... as a result it is simply a process that attaches the "SYMBOL OF PERCEIVED VALUE" to anything that can be in existence resulting from our actions as human beings 

A generic principle that I usually suggest to people is .....

first of all "Eliminate all personal Debt" and secondly .... create "Passive Income" ....

I personally believe that human beings are creative enough to be able to maintain some sort of order in their ability to do commerce .... after all our survival depends on it .....

In a worse case global collapse scenario the individual who has most of his holdings in something that has high perceived value will become extremely wealthy in a down turn ....

Perceived value of things can have a lot to do with the "Culture" of the local demographic you are physically residing in ..

If you have ever watched that popular TV series "Survivor" you may have noticed that it is an extreme dramatic demonstration of the dynamics involved when our hierarchy of "Needs" is put to the test ....

So to give a hypothetical answer to your situation .... I would say that you may want to speculate on what you think a guaranteed global method of exchange might be and then make sure you have a sufficient amount of that purchased at a low cost.... an example might be taking physical delivery of Gold and Silver wafers ....

Many people are currently doing this however in my opinion it is still necessary for people to be able to buy these commodities  with some semblance of intelligence because the prices can fluctuate quite wildly at times ...

and that is what I can provide people .... the knowledge to be able to "time" their purchases of positions they choose to take over a long period of time or over a short period of time ....

 

January 30th 2010 - Very good question that I believe must be posted here....

        Hi Brian,

       I was wondering if you knew how to set up to trade on the Frankfurt, Germany exchange.

Hi Gina 

I see a lot of confusion in the regard about "Trading on specific Exchanges" .... in reality if a person decides to buy any specific stock the person will in essence be forced to go to the exchange where that particular stock is listed.

For example I know of many stocks in the oil industry that are Junior stocks that are listed on TSX in Toronto.  If I wish to purchase any of those stocks I must first figure out what the stock symbol is.

Then I will log into my "Brokerage" account and fill out the screen describing my transaction.  My broker will then put my order into the que.  This order will be routed to the particular exchange where the stock is listed.

Pretty much all of the stocks I choose to trade happen to be trading on NYSE and NASDAQ.  Therefore NYSE and NASDAQ are benefiting from my activity.

So to make a long story shorter. If the stocks you choose to trade are listed exclusively on the Frankfurt exchange I would suggest that you simply go to that exchanges website and get the Symbols of the stocks that you choose to trade there.

Then you should be able to trade that stock through any trading account on the planet if the trading account has adequate services.
