Your Money Advisor

Want to get into real estate but are unsure of when to sell or rent a property?

I created this post to help clear up some confusion on the conundrum.

Real estate is a great way to grow your wealth because it’s not only a hedge against inflation but can also provide you with some great returns if executed correctly.

Remember, money in real estate is made at the purchase of the property and not at the selling.

Who Is Peter Lynch?

He is claimed to be the best mutual fund manager to ever exist.

Listen to this:

The highest 20-year return in mutual fund history was 25.8% per year, achieved by the legendary Peter Lynch of Fidelity Magellan.

If you invested $10,000 into his fund back in 1977, you investment would have been worth $982,000 in 13 years!

His book, “One Up On Wall Street” is a great resource which outlines the investment strategies he used while managing his fund.

Here’s a Quick Breakdown on the Contract Types you Must Know if you Want to be a Successful Investor.

Don’t worry if you don’t understand them all right away. The point of this post is to help you familiarize yourself with these contracts as they are the most widely used in the world of finance.

In the near future, I will be posting short video lessons on both Instagram and YouTube to help cover some of the more complex financial concepts.

Before I go, please know how important it is to learn something new everyday. If we aren’t learning, we aren’t getting better and if we aren’t getting better, what’s the point of tomorrow?

Anyone can learn anything in life, regardless of if you have a formal education or not. Pick up a book, attend a seminar, network with people who work or do what you want to do.

Formal education will make you living, informal education will make you a fortune!

Don’t forget to use, “Order Types” when investing/trading as they allow for a margin of safety.

Every good brokerage service offers these safeguards when you’re about to make an investment. If you don’t take advantage of them, you are exposing yourself to risk that can be avoided.

My personal favourite orders are stop-loss and stop-buy.

This is because these order types allow me to create a price floor for myself on a long-position or a price ceiling on a short-position.

Do you use order types and if so, which ones?

Read This and You Will Know More Than 90% of People When it Comes to Exchange Rates.

Whenever we look at an exchange rate, we typically examine the nominal exchange rate first.

This is the foundation of buying and selling currencies.

Notice how in the first slide, we have a price currency (in the numerator) and a base currency (in the denominator).

When we are trying to exchange let’s say U.S dollars for Euros, we need to make sure that the currency we want to receive is in the denominator and has a base of 1. This is the easiest way to visualize which currency is worth more.

In our example, the currency we have is U.S dollars and we want to go from U.S dollars to Euros. Several economic factors such as the money supply, monetary policy, trade agreements, etc. all affect the value of a currency.

In our example, the U.S dollar is trading at $1.416 to €1.00. It takes more than 1 U.S dollars to receive 1 Euro meaning that the U.S dollar is weaker than the Euro or the Euro is stronger.

The nominal rate makes it easy for us to see which currencies are worth more and once we know what the value of our hone currency is worth, we can proceed to multiply it by the the total dollar value we wish to exchange.

Let’s say I want to €100. I would need to multiply $1.416 x 100 = $141.60 U.S dollars.

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them below and I will try my best to answer all of them!

How to Determine if you Should Invest or Not.

Net present value is used as a measure to see if a capital intensive project is worth investing in.

If after summing all the cash flows at different time periods less the initial investment results in a positive figure, we should go ahead and accept the project because it will add value to the firm.

Notice how as we go out further in time while keeping all else equal (discount rate and cashflow), our cashflows begins to be worth less and less?

Why is that Adam?

Well, it’s because of the Time Value of Money. Money received farther out in time is worth less than money received today in theory. Even though the cash flow will be $25,000 for each period (months in this example), it really isn’t worth that because we could have invested our money elsewhere earning the same or greater value if we had the money today.

Also, the greater the discount rate, the more likely it is for an investment to have a negative NPV. This means that the future cash flows will be discounted so greatly that net cash flows will be smaller. At this point we should step back and consider if the project is worth investing in at all because we may be able to find a better return elsewhere at a lower risk.

Not much needs to be said here. The posts explains it all.

I tried my best to break the process down into 3 easy steps for you to follow.

In this post, I examine how to find dividends per share and earnings per share while extrapolating figures from the income statement.

This lesson isn’t just about solving for these two per share figures but to also get use to reading and formatting an income statement.
