- Cruise Stocks: A Risk Vs. Reward Analysis
Investors know that oil prices and terrorism, two things that really can't be controlled, have a large influence on the stock market. Many investors avoid airline stocks for this reason. They can't control one of their biggest expenses (fuel) and an act of terrorism can seriously damage the industry.
Why are cruise stocks any better? Rising fuel costs and Hurricane Katrina led to lower stock prices for companies like Carnival Corp. and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. These two cruise lines account for about 75 percent of the cruise industry, worldwide. - Hard Money: Borrowers Solution For Low Credit, Foreclosure And Bankruptcy
A couple from Palmdale, California called my office Monday afternoon asking if we can help them save their home. They are delayed in their mortgage payments for 3 months and their house is in foreclosure. They have kids, they love their house, and they don't want to move anywhere else. They have low credit, in foreclosure and have high debt ratio so banks turned them down. Knowing the urgency of the couple's situation, I started asking them questions about their financial situation, what affected their credit, how much mortgages they owe, liens, collections, judgments, etc. At the end of our phone call conversation, I told the borrower that we can get them a loan through hard money investors. The borrower was surprised to hear that they finally can get a loan and avoid losing their home. Applying for a loan through regular banks is subject to limited loan to value, debt ratio, income documentation and credit rating guidelines. For homeowners or borrowers who have low credit rating, in notice of default, foreclosure or bankruptcy, they will immediately get declined by banks. Does it mean that they cannot get a loan and lose their home? Absolutely NO!
Hard money or private money loan is the solution for low credit borrowers and who are in financial distress such as notice of default, foreclosure, bankruptcy, credit delinquency, judgments, collections, tax liens, etc. Hard money is equity based, non-fico based lending. As long as the borrower has equity left in the house after the deductions of all mortgages owed, liens, charge offs and collections, interest payment delays, and prepayment penalty. Hard money represents hard-earned money of individual investors, groups, corporations, insurance companies, and hedge fund managers who are able to offer financing based on equity or collateral from the borrower. - Encrypted Email -- Users Unknowingly Put Banking Data At Risk
PGP is one of the most common methods of protecting financial data that customers submit through banking and financial websites. PGP provides excellent data encryption, but many users leave sensitive PGP-encrypted data vulnerable without even knowing they’re doing so.
Banks, credit unions and other financial institutions use PGP to encrypt sensitive data, such as a loan application, before sending it through email. PGP makes the data is nearly impossible for anyone other than the intended recipient to decrypt. Unfortunately, after receiving the data the recipient often unknowingly creates an opportunity for thieves to steal the data. - Florida's Billionaires

Most of them are entrepreneurs while a crop inherited family businesses that they grew.

“I wanna be rich”, says a line from a cheesy 80’s song, sung by a band whose name escapes memory at the moment. Apart from the song’s outward cheesiness, one really annoying thing about it is the way it repeatedly states the obvious. In today’s material world, who doesn’t want “money, lots and lots of money”? Monks perhaps, but they comprise just a tiny fraction of the world’s population. Everybody else wants to be rich.
Unfortunately for about 95% of us, only a fortunate few ever get to become that rich. Among those fortunate few are these gentlemen from Florida who have consistently made it to Forbes’ list of richest men.
