Read the papers today, and you’ll feel like start-ups are a rare breed in 2009. Many sources say less people are starting up companies, albeit successfully too – citing the lack of investors available as one of the top reasons. But perhaps they are not looking in the right places. A paper in Philadelphia (Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News) recently did a story in which a start-up CEO almost seemed to feel like securing angel investment was easier in this market than before. And it makes sense, since less competition combined with more places to look for funding make this a good time for companies to secure investment. It is true that angel investors are becoming more cautious, and one will need a strong, convincing business plan (or some already existing activity) in order to secure such funding, but this has always been the case. However, sites such as the Mid-Atlantic Investment Network help potential entrepreneurs and existing start-ups alike find more channels in which to reach these investors. Many companies will look to raise “Seed Capital” from a wide variety of courses, including friends and family. But the Mid-Atlantic Investment Network allows members to look beyond that, with the ability to broadcast your plans to other potential investors online. While technology remains one of the top niches in angel investment (such as the recent development by an entrepreneur in Maryland to develop software that uses facial recognition technology to determine who can see the content on-screen), other fields are also attracting entrepreneurs and angel investors these days. Our network has active investors and entrepreneurs in fields such as Real Estate, Retail, Business Services, Transportation, Health Care, Entertainment, Agriculture and more. A wide range of investors are members, including various angel investors from within Mid-Atlantic regions such as Delaware, Maryland (including Baltimore), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, etc), Virginia, West Virginia and Washington D.C, but also features investors located across the country and internationally. Join the Mid-Atlantic branch of the Angel Investment Network today and find someone to help get your business off of the ground.

This is the time! The day you have been longing for, but perhaps not so sure about. The desk may be cleared and everyone is admiring the presentation gold watch in its smart box. You may even have your retirement lump sum-could be the largest sum of money you have seen in your life. It is a good feeling but can also be an intimidating one. Now more than any time you need good investment advice. Even in being careful, you face financial risks at retirement time.
The Main Risks Are
To be Secure In Your Retirement Investing:
With this in mind have you considered gold investing?
1) DIVERSIFICATION
Whether your investment approach is conservative or aggressive, gold investing can play a vital role in the diversification of your portfolio. Most experts recommend a gold holding of 5%-10%.
2) SAFETY
As we painfully learned from the NASDAQ bust, any stock, no matter how seductive it may seem, always has the potential to plunge to zero. This will never happen with gold. Life is full of unpredictables-hurricanes, tornadoes, terrorist attacks. Gold investing is the perfect way to protect the foundations of your portfolio from an unpredictable future.
3) GROWTH
Recently, a long-term subscriber to an investment newsletter wrote: “I have been following your gold suggestions since December of 2001 and have made a barrel of money. The ten gold stocks you recommend now, if held since then, are up about 500% on average. Not too shabby while gold bullion is up about 70%, a 7-1 ratio.”
Currently, world gold demand exceeds global gold supply by 60%-100% annually; as the mines cannot extract gold fast enough to meet this demand. A shortage leads to higher prices. Nobody can guarantee that anything will last forever, but in the short term the gold price will rise.
So what shape could your gold investments be in?
Just as you can diversify your overall portfolio, you can also diversify the gold part of it. Gold investing takes three main forms:
1. Owning physical gold-the safest, “insurance” part of it. And the most exciting part? When you hold gold in your hands for the first time, you understand why it has generated such a passion through time!
2. Gold stock-investment in quality gold mines. This is for the “growth” part of your portfolio.
3. Gold derivatives-only for those who are not averse to risks!
Some people may give you a strange look if you are talking of gold investing! There are great ideas floating around:
If others are uneasy about gold investing, all the more reason for you to do it and do it well! So that you can enjoy your golden years!
Summary:
The main factors of gold investment are… To be mindful of your retirement with diversification, safety and growth. With these in mind, you will do wonderfully well to consider gold.

Trying to find a good Property Investing course that you can trust can be a very hard task. There are many different kinds of Property Investing courses – Seminars, Property Sourcing, Real Estate Investing Coaching, Home studies plus many more. The first decision you need to make is “What kind of Property Investing Course do I want to do”.
What kind of property investing course you decide to do will depend on where you are currently at in your Property Investing career. Someone who already owns 10 properties will probably be looking for something different than somebody who is just beginning their property investment journey.
The main point that separates most property investing courses is this
- Some property investing courses offer you a step by step education or guide on ‘how to invest in property. Then after you finish the property investing course it is up to you to act upon this new found knowledge and put it into action.
- Other property investing courses will be much more ‘one and one’ and literally hold you’re hand as you go through the process of buying your investment property. Generally these courses will actually ’source’ the property for you.
So which Property Investing Course Should you choose?The Education and do it yourself approach
Or theLet the Professionals make the decisions and hold my hand approach
There is no right or wrong answer here; it simply depends on your individual situation.
Let have a look at some of the positive and negative aspects of these two different types of property investing course.The Education and do it yourself approach
This style of property investing course suits people who have the desire (and the time) to become long term professional investors. At times this strategy will be hard and you may even feel like giving up but if you choose a good course then you should feel supported enough to be able to put their instructions into action. The main benefit of this type of course is that once you have learnt, understood and implemented the information you will forever have these skills at your disposal.
The best thing about most of these property investing courses is that that nearly all offer 100% money back guarantee. This gives you a no risk option to try the course and if it lives up to expectations then you can decide to keep it.Let the Professionals make the decisions and hold my hand approach
This style of property investing course suits a number of different people. If you don’t have enough time or simply aren’t interested in learning how to invest in property but want the results then some of these courses can be great. Or if you would like to become a professional investor but feel like you need a helping hand with the first one or two properties that you buy – just to make sure that you are doing everything right.
Generally property investment courses that include property sourcing will cost slightly more than a course that only offers an education.
So what type of person are you? Remember that there is no right or wrong answer; you simply need to find the property investing course that best suits your needs. The most important thing is that you actually take some action and begin your property investing journey. If you are yet to buy an investment property then it may currently feel like an impossible dream but believe me – once you start increasing your knowledge you will be surprised at how fast you are able to start creating a property portfolio.
