| | Forex Trading-How Can Individual Investors Benefit? | | 2008-06-27 01:55:33 | | As a result of this new phenominon, start-up firms now compete directly with financial institutions to serve investors in the new technologically driven economy, and the clear winner is the customer.

| | Why Mutual Funds Are A Better Option For Retail Investors | | 2008-06-04 06:15:49 | | It is simply instinctive to get attracted toward equity. The success stories - few true and many false - of people having become millionaires overnight, are bound to allure anyone. But the fact is that Stock Market isn't easy money; Stock market is not everyone’s cup of tea.It is our hard-earned savings, which is at stake. So let’s be very concrete about it.Do you have adequate capital?It is sheer common sense that a diversified portfolio with 18-20 stocks is less risky than a small portfolio with only 3-4 stocks.However, for a retail investor, capital is normally limited. With this small money supply it won't be likely for him to adequately diversify his/her portfolio. In such a condition, Mutual Funds extend an alternative to be a part of well-diversified portfolio even with small capital like $100.Naturally, a small portfolio can give super natural returns but on the other hand the risk is also very high.

| | Why emerging-market growth isn't always good for investors | | 2008-05-11 08:09:53 | | FASTER economic growth means higher returns for investors. That is a big part of the rationale for investing in emerging markets.The problem with this argument is that it is not true. Research by the London Business School looked at 17 countries over 108 years. The countries with the slowest-growing economies (as measured by GDP growth over five-year periods) returned 8% a year; the markets in the fastest-growing economies, by contrast, returned just 5% a year.When a broader group of 53 economies, including many emerging markets, were examined, the tortoises beat the hares by a wider margin—12% to 6-7%. James Montier of Société Générale found that the slowest-growing emerging markets have delivered higher returns than the fastest growers over the past 20 years.An earlier study by Jay Ritter of the University of Florida tried to explain a key LBS finding—a negative correlation between real stock returns and real per capita GDP growth over more than a century.

Meanwhile, to achieve its goal of controlling inflation, the Vietnamese government is tightening credit for real estate traders.
