Easy Money Making Ideas
Permanent Portfolio Mutual Fund (PRPFX)
There is also a managed mutual fund that follows this strategy, although not exactly. It is run by the Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds and the ticker symbol is PRPFX.Visit to Apply Today http://moneyfinancehelp.blogspot.com/
Very recently it hasn’t been doing as well. The one-year trailing return is -20.60%, while the Vanguard S&P 500 Index fund has a trailing return of -47.50%, and the Vanguard Target Retirement Income fund has a trailing return of -16.90%. But over the last 5 and 10 years, the fund has beaten out most balanced mutual funds of stocks/bonds.
Food For Thought
I’m not advocating this approach by any means, but I found it intriguing for a variety of reasons. First, it still somewhat follows modern portfolio construction techniques by diversifying across multiple asset classes that are not strongly correlated with each other. Most portfolios these days are only split between stocks and bonds. The stocks part may be split many ways (small cap, international, etc.), but with correlations increasing across the board, that hasn’t really helped add much diversification. Maybe we all need more cash and direct inflation protection.
Second, the Permanent Portfolio is still a passive investment style that does not try to predict the future, time movements in and out of the market, or pick the best mutual fund or hedge fund manager. No stock newsletter or trading systems. You just rebalance across the four broad asset classes if they get lopsided.Visit to Apply Today http://moneyfinancehelp.blogspot.com/

Some readers have noticed that I am no longer tracking the progress towards my long-term financial goal. That’s because I don’t have one! It used to be a million dollars by age 45, but I have dropped it since it doesn’t motivate me on a daily or even monthly basis. Visit today http://moneyfinancehelp.blogspot.com
I have come to realize that it is just stupid for me to plan out something 15 years ahead. Even looking back only five years, my life now is vastly different than I thought it would be. It’s an interesting exercise.
On February:
I was 6 months out of graduate school, and in working at my first “real” job. Although I had held several jobs earlier including being a student researcher and teaching assistant, the corporate world was completely new to me. Even then, I knew I didn’t want to do this for four decades. My net worth was hovering around zero… I was just about done finally paying off my student loans from undergrad, but that was about as far as I was looking. Here’s an updated net worth history chart: I was single. Although I was engaged at the time, I had never lived with my fiancee and had no idea what it would be like to completely share a life together. It’s been quite an adventure. I didn’t have this blog. I don’t even know if I knew what a blog was. Who knew that it would provide a non-trivial chunk of our total income, and that I would continue to spend at least 20 hours a week of my time maintaining it, and often much more (although I’ve been working on better balance). I didn’t own a home. I was still living in the same cheap, run-down, graffiti-covered apartment that I lived in during college. I would end up renting five different apartments in the next 5 years, before finally buying a house.
I’m actually really happy with how things turned out, but looking ahead there is still so much more uncertainty. Kids? Jobs? Economy? So I’ll have to keep that in mind when crafting a measurable, specific, and inspiring long-term goal.Visit Now http://earnmoneywithzeroinvestment.blogspot.com

Can Hypnosis Help You Make More Money? And Other Surprising Possibilities no comments

Ok, no jokes about hypnotizing the boss to hand you a raise. This is for real.
If hypnosis can help lifetime smokers quit in one session, in shedding pounds that have held onto for years, even open the possibility for lifelong singles to attract love, might hypnosis help you bring in the income you’ve been dreaming of-even in tight times?
Could be.
Here are six ways:
1. Hypnosis can help you finish your education. If the notion that education would make you snobbish, or you didn’t have the brains for it, held you back, hypnosis can help you let go of that attitude.
If difficulties studying, memorizing, or test-taking have been the stumbling block, hypnosis may be able to teach your mind techniques that good memorizers and retainers naturally share-and alleviate undue nervousness.
Not having a degree it doesn’t have to be a barrier anymore.
2. Are you nervous at job interviews? Could improved performance in presenting yourself or networking improve chances for a better job, consider this: hypnosis can help dispel nervousness, enhance focus, and assist you in answering questions succinctly and with confidence. You’ll interview better and may land a superior-paying position.
3. If test-taking is involved in landing a promotion, hypnosis can ease nervousness, help retention, and allow you recall what you studied more easily, potentially elevating your score.
4. Hypnosis can help you improve in very-specific skill sets important to performing your job, and may enhance your chances of promotion and job retention.
If your career could be helped by changing beliefs or attitudes important to your work, hypnosis may assist substantially. A salesperson reluctant to cold-call or a hospital worker squeamish around blood would probably be great candidates for a hypnotic help.
If your career demands other skills that you are weak in, consider hypnosis as an ally in improving such things as memorization, comprehension of written materials, getting along with others, leadership ability, and most kinds of test-taking.
Presenting, public-speaking, negotiating and communicating among peers or managers can also be enhanced with hypnosis.
That small investment of time and money could pay off well in career success and salary.
5. Hypnosis, along with psychotherapy, can help you manage anger and disappointment.
6. If you grew up poor and learned to view wealth as evil, you may have held yourself back from fields that are higher paying. Are you now open to letting go of an attitude that sees wealth-as-evil? If so, hypnosis can help
If you think about it, there are many ways you can easily and pleasantly improve your life with hypnosis, careerwise and otherwise: Developing new friendships, attracting a life partner, improving in a sport and opening yourself to all sorts of new life experiences come to mind immediately.
Frequently I find that once a client has had a successful hypnosis session in my office, the list of “What else I want to use this for” becomes an immediate topic of conversation. The same might be true of reading an article. ©2009 by Wendy Lapidus-Saltz. All rights reserved.
