    Meaning of Skilled Leadership
    The difference between the common man and the leader is that leader is a person who is willing to take additional responsibilities and has the ability to handle more than the common man. This holds true also for skilled leadership in corporate world today, the ability to move on with confidence without fearing for the pitfalls or the backlash in the due course of day to day activities of the complex business world.

    What is Foreign Exchange and why do you need to know more about it?
    It sometimes feels like we are immersed in complicated economics and the tendency is to sit back whilst those in the know dominate the markets and decide what’s best for us. The financial markets have come under close scrutiny in the last few years due to the banking crisis and the ensuing global recession. This has led to increased awareness of the various markets and one market that has been growing significantly in recent times is that of foreign exchange, or rather, Forex. To initially simplify the case, the forex market is fairly self-explanatory. It involves trading two currencies against each other and profiting on any favourable fluctuations. The depth to which a private speculator wishes to get involved in this market can vary greatly. The internet has made the market highly accessible  [...]

  • Do you want to find the root causes of inflation?>
    Do you want to find the root causes of inflation?
    The inflation is a constant pain for any country and like gold the value of inflation refuses to come down. It is ever increasing and pulling down the value of money to a great extent. When the members of Fed discuss on the topic of inflation the members give stress on the food and energy as causes of inflation. The main idea behind this is that the kind of fluctuation oil and gas prices go through, it makes the assessment of prices really difficult for the economists to calculate. But if this is the reasoning of the inflation, then there is a shortcoming in the explanation. The causes of inflation are far away from detecting as most of the economists deal with the outcomes of inflation. The food prices and gas prices are increasing and if these prices keep on zipping north then what will be  [...]

  • Financial advisors need to be fired too…>
    Financial advisors need to be fired too…
    You’ve probably gone to great lengths to screen through several financial advisors before settling for one, but your responsibility and role doesn’t end when you end up hiring one. If you feel that Johnny (let’s assume his name is Johnny) isn’t up to the mark, you should simply cut him loose and get someone new. There are, after all, several fish in the pond and picking a new one from several financial advisors is not that difficult. But how do you know the time has come to go your separate ways? Perhaps when you feel that the advisor is looking out for his interests more than he is yours, it’s time to say adios and do a Trump by screaming “you’re fired!!” All too often, we end up giving money to people without running a background check first. What’s worse is the fact that  [...]

    Knowledge sharing is not the best of ideas at all times
    Those that know me will attest to the fact that I am quite helpful as people go. I freely offer to help whenever I can and whenever someone wants to pick my brain I am open to a round of knowledge sharing. And yes, very often I too like to get some information to file away in my mind. It is a process of give and take I quite enjoy honestly, but there are many occasions on which this whole process of knowledge sharing is one way traffic. Sometimes I’ve given unhelpful or misleading answers and I have to be able to know when someone is playing me for a fool and when they’re not. In card-playing terms, I am tipping my hand early. Of course, clueless and widespread paranoia is not the answer to this. Not every will try to misinform me, and I know this well. In fact, I have seen that giving  [...]

    Frugal living and myths surrounding it
    I hear people tell me that frugal living is overhyped and a bit of a negative influence and I can’t help but be tickled pink by such rubbish. Many of the people that run down frugal living barely give it a chance. I’m going to try and dispel a few months on frugal living, if you’ll just bear with me. Myth 1: Hunting for deals is a pain Personally, I love the thrill of the chase. Hunting for deals gives me greater satisfaction than just putting the cash straight down to buy anything at all. It could be something as big as a car or a house or it could be something as simple as groceries, I just enjoy hunting for deals. It’s barely drudgery like some people say it is. I recently saved $25 on shopping for my son, and all because I got my wife to log in toMr. Rebates before she checked out  [...]

    American economy a bit zombie-like
    By all accounts, the American economy is a bit unhealthy as of now. Pick an economic indicator, any indicator. Third quarter GDP is at 2%, this figure released just before Halloween and causing quite a fright. Unemployment and personal consumption figures aren’t exactly stellar either, and any gains effected by the GDP were set off by net imports and sharply outdone by the increase in inventories. Consumption figures have been alright, but nowhere near what it should be and the savings rate too has fallen, presenting a picture that is not rosy at all. In a sense, the American economy is a bit like a zombie right now; it’s the walking dead, ambling along in a mindless haze. In a normal, well-balanced economy, consumption and GDP is locked in a sweet, sweet tango while savings is  [...]

    The long road ahead
    A wave of infrastructure projects are sweeping across the face of this big blue rock we call planet Earth, but the United States is remarkably immune to this epidemic. And that can be put down largely to the stonewall America has presented to almost any and all opportunities to spend money. That more than anything else is hurting the improvements we need to put in place with roads, airports, seaports and railway systems across the length and breadth of the land of the free and home of the brave. Slightly worryingly, the American Society of Civil Engineers published a report that put the figure of investment needed for America at $1.6 trillion over a period spanning five years. And that’s just to bring infrastructure up to a level that can be deemed standard, so the road is long and arduous. But  [...]
