Investing strategies


Investing strategy can be understood as set of rules that guide investor in his decisions regarding investment portfolio. Investors use strategies to balance risks and rewards in accordance with his risk tolerance investing goal and investment horizon. Taking time to understand which strategy suits you the best can also help you avoid unwanted expenses.

You can look at it as existence of two extremes where on one side are investment strategies that seek rapid growth which includes greater amount or risk and on the other side is low risk strategy with regular dividends payment that is more concentrated on wealth protection. In other words there is always some kind of trade off between risk and return on investment and most investors are not in the one of those two extremes but somewhere in between. You should honestly assess your current financial situation, your expenses and debt and how much you are able to invest.

Investors using value investing seek stock that they believe are undervalued. Often what is taken into consideration is bigger picture not just temporary performance. Growth investing like the name says is focusing on the companies with growth potential that show strong and consistent earnings and revenues.

Momentum investors believe in current situation, that winning stock will remain that way. Investors select stocks based on their recent past performance using technical analysis and looking for patterns.

Dollar cost averaging can be used with already mentioned strategies. It is a strategy where you invest regularly over time and reducing risk in that way. When investing on regular basis chances are that you will capture prices of all levels and lover the average cost per share purchased.

Index investing is passive strategy where investor is trying to generate the same results like market index (SP500 for example) usually by buying ETF that tracks the underlying index.

Dividend growth investing is a strategy that involves investing in a company shares according to the future dividends forecast to be paid.

You will need to decide what is the best strategy for you, do you want to take passive or a more active approach, how much risk are you willing to take are just some of the questions you will need to answer. In the end choosing any strategy is better than having no strategy.

OTC stocks more difficult to trade and deposit

  Mina Mar Group helps micro-cap companies structure their growth. Micro-capitalized companies are those with less than $50,000,000 in equity, sometimes under $1,000,000. Restructuring involves raising money (both debt and stock), and planning how they will eventually harvest that wealth. If you’re a founder or investor, the secret to harvesting your equity is to possess assets with a developed market for their sale; up until recently, that market was the public market. Now, Over-The-Counter Securities (“OTC Securities”) don’t serve that purpose since, unless you’re a tech unicorn doing an IPO, there are essentially no ways to sell the shares you’ve invested in. OTC securities – how they were deposited five years ago. Brokerages all around the country have tightened compliance over the past five years to the point where no one may deposit share certificates into their brokerage accounts, even if they can prove that they paid for them. Consider the following demand from a secondary brok

All-cash, All-stock offer

An acquisition strategy known as an “all-cash, all-stock offer” requires the buyer to commit to purchasing all of the target company’s outstanding shares for a certain amount in cash. It is also characterized as buying all of a company’s outstanding shares from its shareholders in exchange for payment. All-cash, all-stock offers are typically taken into consideration as a strategy to complete an acquisition. This could be an excellent technique the acquiring corporation might use to make the transaction appear sweet and persuade shareholders who are on the fence to accept the sale by offering a premium above the cost at which the shares are now trading. So if it’s that case, if indeed the company was purchased at a premium, then shareholders of the target company could experience an increase in the value of their shares. Even when we talk about cash deals, a stock value for the target firm is discussed, and that value may be considerably higher than its current market price. Therefore,

How important marketing is for Regulation A?

  Regulation A+ represents the lately enacted SEC rule that amends and expands the rarely utilized Regulation A offering exemption. Regulation A+ might be viewed as an alternative to a small registered IPO and also, as a substitute or addition to other securities offering procedures that are not subject to registration under the Securities Act.  Although Regulation A+ is still quite new, it is swiftly establishing a name as the perfect spot for so many American businesses looking for capital. Reg A+, which is supported by the SEC, actually permits non-SEC reporting corporations to raise capital from public investors while also allowing (or even more motivating) the issuer to publicize their offering openly.  The opportunity to publicly market to investors has benefited greatly for numerous corporations.  This method is intended to reduce regulatory constraints by allowing companies who wouldn’t have contemplated pursuing total IPOs to get the type of financing necessary to fuel their g
