It is a rule for all investors: follow the money. Does spending my money there make sense?

 Many people closely follow the investment choices of major players. They think that if the big players invest, it must be a beneficial decision. The major players closely monitor the company's revenue. They are looking to take advantage of the dividend. Then they can part with at least half of their investment in this company. It is more important to monitor what people like and what they spend their money on. Those companies that offer a good product have at least a few years in advance to have competition or to produce a good product themselves. But when we look at our daily lives, what we spend money on is very important. Look in the store; which product runs out the fastest? Which thing is most important to us, and we constantly give our money for it? Who is the manufacturer, and what is the most important question for you? Is it worth investing my money there so that even if I buy a product from this manufacturer, it will return to me as a dividend? This question is not to be...

Alternatives to get rich - Risk wins, Risk loses.

Yesterday, I came across a graphic created by a visual capitalist. Could you please let me know how long it typically takes for money to double in various investments? The fact that it has taken nearly 100 years is truly impressive. Real estate is the worst. But 4.4 percent is something, compared to nothing. Investing a hundred dollars in a property for a hundred years results in over 5,000 dollars, which is impressive. Gold (6.48 percent) is better. Corporate bonds offer an impressive yield of 6.96 percent. But investing in the S&P 500 brings a yield of nearly 11.51 percent. This return is phenomenal. The result means that every six and a half years, your money doubles. But let's not forget that if you hit the initial public offering of a company that has a future and a good product,. It can make you a several-thousand-dollar millionaire in no time.   But recognizing such a company in times of huge competition is like hitting the lottery numbers. However, the risk can som...

Top 10 reasons to invest in Australian shares

The Australian share market has outperformed most other developed markets over the past decade. This improvement is due to several factors, including the strong performance of the Australian economy and the fact that Australia has avoided the major economic crises that have affected other developed economies. 2. Australian shares offer excellent value compared to other global markets. This is because Australian shares are relatively undervalued compared to other global markets. 3. Australian shares are less risky than some other global markets. This is because the Australian share market is less exposed to global economic and political risks than some other markets. 4. The Australian share market is highly diversified. This means that there are a large number of different companies listed on the Australian stock exchange, which reduces the risk of investing in the Australian share market. 5. Australia has a strong regulatory regime for listed companies. This means that companie...

Nothing personal just thinking out loud.

  Soon I came across many articles against the big companies and especially against the Chinese state.  They are responsible for air pollution and harm to humanity.   I have nothing against the free writing of people or journalists. But are they correct in their conclusions? Let's assume that every product produced by a large company is bought by the common man. Shouldn't we pay a little attention to our actions? Everyone purchases a Chinese-made product, such as a phone. This is true regardless of whether the product originates from an American or European company. Is it just a phone? For example, I know people who criticize wealthy corporations. Their actions show they replace their TV every few years because they want the latest model. Another sees that they are advertising the latest model fridge, but its design is nicer, and he decides to renew it even if it is a payoff, but he needs to be able to take a picture for social media in front of a good-looking fridge...

Is the holiday in Turkish Riviera Antalya worth it?

I am visiting Antalya for the first time. The plane ride took us three hours. We received a welcome at the airport. Of course, we had paid for the ultra-inclusive package. Upon arrival, we were offered to visit the restaurant to eat. The hotel's restaurant was actually open twenty-four hours a day. After we were accommodated, we toured the complex. Since it was late, we sat at the bar, which was open 24 hours. The hotel itself had several bars, a disco, and a restaurant next to the beach. You can eat at this beachside restaurant instead of going to the hotel when you're at the beach during the day. I noticed security on the beach, inside the hotel yard, and at the entrance itself. It was also twenty-four hours. Food in restaurants is plentiful. It gave me the impression that the alcohol was  legal. I thought that if I ordered a twelve-year whiskey, I would be served something worse. However, since I only ordered a single twelve-year whiskey, they provided me with what I needed....

Not everyone can win, there must be losers.

Investing in a utility company can provide a steady stream of income. Generally regulated, utility companies offer investors some stability and predictability. Utility companies often have strong balance sheets and generate a lot of cash flow, which can make them attractive investments. Utility companies can be a beneficial way to diversify a portfolio. There are many different types of utility companies, so investors can find one that fits their investment goals. But in reality, utility companies' revenues are predictable. Accept yourself as a regular payer. Assume that your neighbor is also a payer. Thus, all users of their services are payers. The company itself has the income and can afford the dividend. Another thing is that the stock market has a crisis. The company will always have these customers. This situation could be compared to a pandemic that wipes out people. Realistically speaking, you don't expect a sharp rise in the share price. But you can always expect it to...
