Investing with Vanguard

Investing with Vanguard

Vanguard is a most popular United States Investment management company. The Vanguard Index Mutual Funds are the most popular variety of mutual funds in USA. The Assets under management under Vanguard Company are worth more than US $ 1 Trillion.

John C. Bogle is the founder and the former Chairman of Vanguard Group. He first time introduced the concept of Index Mutual Funds in USA. His Investment Philosophy was to cut down the cost of the fund by reducing the fund management fees by converting actively managed funds into the index funds which are easy to manage in comparison of the actively managed funds.

The Vanguard Index Fund Philosophy -

For his undergraduate thesis at Princeton, John C. Bogle conducted a study in which he found around three quarters of mutual funds did not earn any more money than if they invested in the largest 500 companies simultaneously, using the S&P 500 stock market index as a benchmark. In other words, three out of four of the managers could not pick better specific "winners" than someone passively holding a basket of the 500 largest public U.S. companies. The managers could pick specific stocks which would do as well as picking the 500 largest stocks (essentially doing as well as random chance would dictate), but the cost to pay their expenses, as well as the high taxes incurred through active trading, resulted in underperforming the index.

Thus, on this theory, John Bogle had introduced the Index Mutual Funds and they got tremendous popularity and the success. Today most of the Mutual Fund Investors in USA prefer Vanguard Index funds over any other mutual funds.

Investing with Vanguard mutual funds means investing for Success & Financial Freedom…!!!

Investing with 500 Dollars

Investing with 500 Dollars

Many of my friends from North America ask me that, I have 500 Dollars to invest. Can I Invest such a small amount of money? Is it possible to invest such a small amount or should I save more to start investing?

Well, this is the question of most of the Americans. In fact, most of the people around the world think that They need huge amount of money to start investing and if they don’t have large enough capital, they can’s start investing. Now, let me tell you today that only Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds & Real Estates are not the Assets in which everyone should invest.

If you have small amount of money than also you can invest. The only thing is that, you will have to select a different asset class. But the percentage wise the returns from these assets is same as that of Stocks, Bonds & Mutual Funds.

Here are some Assets in which you can invest with just $ 500.

- Domain names
- Web Properties (Blogs, Forums, Websites)
- Collectibles (Stamps, Coins, Vintage Coke, Vintage Knives, Toys, Insects…etc..)
- Art (Paintings & Art of the new Artists)

Just start investing from anyone or more of the above assets. You can buy a Domain name from GoDaddy.com for just $ 10 per Domain Name. You can buy a web property for just few hundred dollars from the sites like Flippa.com & SitePoint.com

If you find some new artist, just give him $ 200 and ask him to make a good portrait or a painting for you. He will enthusiastically make a painting for you. The moral of this article is that, it is possible to invest just 500 dollars or even small amount of money. It doesn’t require huge amount of money to start investing.

Investing with Inflation

Investing with Inflation

Inflation is a great concern for Investors. Let me tell you in layman’s language that, what is inflation and how it works? Well, inflation means reduction in the purchasing power of your money over the time. This happens because of the money printing activities oh the government every year. The newly printed money dilutes the purchasing power of the existing money in the economy. This is known as inflation.

In United States, The inflation is around 2-3% per annum. However, some amount of inflation is good for the health of the economy. But recently the US Government has printed literally $ 1.2 Trillion out of thin air only and today the US Monetary Base (Money in Circulation + Bank Reserves) is $ 2 Trillion. The US Government has printed this much amount of money since 2007. And it is now giving bailouts to big corporations and central banks around the world from this money.

Thus, sooner or later, the US Economy will face hyperinflation. So from this Information, it is clear that Saving money is worthless. If you have $ 100,000 in your bank savings account or Cash on hand than it’s not a wise decision because the purchasing power of this money will be eroded because of the federal money printing activity.

And this is the reason you should invest your money so that it grows over the time and maintain it’s purchasing power. No one wants to see their money’s purchasing power eroding. You can invest your money in any asset class. Asset is something which is likely to appreciate in the future.

You can invest your money in Stocks, Bonds, Gold, Mutual Funds, Businesses, Real Estate, Art, Antiques, Collectibles, Web Properties (Blogs, Forums & Domain Names) and many other assets. You should invest your money so that it can maintain its purchasing power as well as to grow it.
