Wealth Building Techniques

how can i make this finance oral interesting and appeal to classmates HELP?

Students are to choose a topic within the scope of Personal financing and investing and complete an 8-10 minute seminar on that topic (some examples are listed on the next page).

Assuming the role as an accounting/business advisor, your seminar should explain the topic and offer any advice based on your extensive research, including where appropriate recent topical issues and statistics.

•Credit Cards (Band and Non bank)
•Debit Cards / Savings accounts
•Personal Loans
•Home loans
•Property Investment (Residential or Commercial)
•Interest Rates
•Superannuation
•Risk Management
•Managed Funds
•Investment opportunities (cash, bonds, Shares)
•Life Assurance
•HECS
•Investment and Taxation
•Negative Gearing
•Insurance
•Bankruptcy

i don’t know which one to choose and how to make it relate to us (yr 12 students)

Choose Interest Rates.

But then introduce a twist.

Discuss how the predatory loan industry (which includes all the paycheck cashing stores, and payday loan stores) are taking advantage of the young. After year 12, many students leave home and start their own households, with all the expenses that that entails. Doing so results in many expenses, and sometimes many unexpected expenses (car repairs, etc.) When that happens, many young people turn to the payday loan and paycheck cashing locations for a quick cash infusion.

But what many people don’t realize, is that through loan fees, and extremely high interest rates, people taking out those loans end up paying close to 500% per year in interest.

So, while older, more established people can go to banks and pay loan rates of less than 8% for loans, younger, not yet established people like you and your classmates may get caught up in a vicious cycle of predatory loans.

Google the phrase “Predatory Lending and Payday Loans” to see many discussions of how this process works.

Here are a couple of sites I found:

Fixed Investment $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Fixed investment in economics refers to investment in fixed capital, i.e. tangible capital goods (real means of production or residential buildings), or to the replacement of depreciated capital goods which have been scrapped. Thus, fixed investment is investment in physical assets such as machinery, land, buildings, installations, vehicles, or technology. Normally, a company balance sheet will state both the amount of expenditure on fixed assets during the quarter or year, and the total value of the stock of fixed assets owned. Fixed investment contrasts with investments in labour, ongoing operating expenses, materials or financial assets. Financial assets may also be held for a fixed term (for example, bonds) but they are not usually called fixed investment because they do not involve the purchase of physical fixed assets. The more usual term for such financial investments is fixedterm investments. Bank deposits committed for a fixed term such as one or two years in a savings account are similarly called fixedterm deposits.

Structured Investment Vehicle $70.1 A structured investment vehicle (SIV) was a type of fund in the shadow banking system. Invented by Citigroup in 1988, SIVs were popular until the market crash of 2008. The strategy of these funds was to borrow money by issuing shortterm securities at low interest and then lend that money by buying longterm securities at higher interest, making a profit for investors from the difference. SIVs were a type of structured credit product; they were often from 1bn to 30bn in size and invested in a range of assetbacked securities, as well as some financial corporate bonds. SIVs had an openended (or evergreen) structure; they planned to stay in business indefinitely by buying new assets as the old ones matured, with the SIV manager allowed to exchange investments without providing investors transparency or the ability to look through the structure. As of October 2008, no SIVs remain. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

The Czech Republic as Investment Location $96.59 Along with further eight Eastern European countries, the Czech Republic has accessed the European Union in 2004. To meet with EU standards and regulations, a substantial reforming process was necessary and has led to an impressive level of (foreign) investments in the country. After an overview of the reforms successfully realised and those that are still urgently necessary, Daniel Vogel examines the current state of attractiveness and the potential of the Czech Republic as investment location, with special focus on the media sector. Based on a description of the current media landscape, including radio, TV, the film industry, and telecommunications, particular fields with high potential for growth are identified. To put the topic into a European context, the author examines the relevance of the EU and its institutions for business life in the Czech Republic and analyzes major aspects of the impact the countrys accession of the European Union has on business conditions.

Norwegian Towns Investing in Tender Option Bonds $100.37 In July 2007, eight Norwegian municipalities invested in complex financial instruments sold by Citigroup through Terra Securities. All eight municipalities were hydro electric power producers and a considerable amount of their tax income was based on concession fees from electricity. To stabilize the volatile income from the energy market, the municipalities sold the future electricity production and invested the present value in the international financial markets. Narvik Kommune, one of the eight municipalities, invested in a Tender Option Bond (TOB) using a Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO) as collateral. Only four months after the initial investment, Citigroup liquidated the investment creating a realized loss of 90. The analysis of the TOB and the CDO structure shows that the reason for the sudden drop in the investment value was related to the loss of correlation between taxable and taxfree interest rates causing the hedges to break. In addition, the marktomarket valuation guidelines created by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) did not offer clear guidance for how to valuate illiquid securities such as the TOB and the CDO.

Contrarian Investment Strategies By Dreman, David N. $32.11 In this major revision of his investment classic, one of the premier investment managers introduces vitally important new findings in psychology that show why most investment strategies are fatally flawed and his contrarian strategies are the best way to beat the market. The need to switch to a new approach for investing has never been more urgent. The Crash of 2007 revealed in dramatic fashion that there are glaring flaws in the theory that underlies all of the prevailing investment strategiesefficient market theory. This theory, and all of the most popular investing strategies, fail to account for major, systematic errors in human judgment that the powerful new research in psychology David Dreman introduces has revealed, such as emotional overreactions and a host of mental shortcuts in judgment that lead to wild over and undervaluations of stocks, bonds, and commodities and to bubbles and crashes. It also leads to horribly flawed assessments of risk. Dreman shows exactly how the new psychological findings definitively refute those strategies and reveals how his alternative contrarian strategies do a powerful job of accounting for them. He shows readers how by being aware of these new findings, they can become saavy psychological investors, crashproofing their portfolios and earning market beating longterm returns. He also introduces a new theory of risk and substantially updates his core contrarian strategies with a number of highly effective methods for facing the most pressing challenges in the coming years, such as greatly increased volatility and the prospect of inflation.

Investment Strategy and State and Local Economic Policy $165.95 State governments are ultimately competitors in their economic policies when people, products and capital are free to move across state borders. Nowhere is this competition more apparent than in the United States where individual states compete to promote economic growth by attracting industry with tax holidays, outright grants, subsidized financing and other means. Yet, the arguably greater influence of state fiscal policy on investment decisions has largely been ignored. This book redresses that deficiency by providing a collection of chapters which discuss the theoretical and practical linkage between investment strategy and state economic policy. Specifically, it uses changes in relative state burdens as a measure of state fiscal policy and shows that by altering the incentives to work, save and invest, changes in a states tax burden relative to other states influence decisions on whether, how much and where to invest. The book is divided into three parts. The first section provides the theoretical framework for the book and discusses application of the basic model to explain the persistent differences in observed real income across states; the level of economic activity; and business starts and failures. The second section discusses, among other things, the implications of changes in state economic policy for investments in real estate; common stocks of small capitalization firms; and state general obligation bonds. The third section of the book, which examines the political dimensions of state economic policy, begins with a discussion of the effect of state economic policy on relative population shifts and reapportionment and ends with a proposal for a flat tax.
