Investing Mistakes to Avoid

Along the way, you may make a few investing mistakes, however there are big mistakes that you absolutely must avoid if you are to be a successful investor. For instance, the biggest investing mistake that you could ever make is to not invest at all, or to put off investing until later. Make your money work for you – even if all you can spare is $20 a week to invest!


While not investing at all or putting off investing until later are big mistakes, investing before you are in the financial position to do so is another big mistake. Get your current financial situation in order first, and then start investing. Get your credit cleaned up, pay off high interest loans and credit cards, and put at least three months of living expenses in savings. Once this is done, you are ready to start letting your money work for you.


Don’t invest to get rich quick. That is the riskiest type of investing that there is, and you will more than likely lose. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it! Instead, invest for the long term, and have the patience to weather the storms and allow your money to grow. Only invest for the short term when you know you will need the money in a short amount of time, and then stick with safe investments, such as certificates of deposit.


Don’t put all of your eggs into one basket. Scatter it around various types of investments for the best returns. Also, don’t move your money around too much. Let it ride. Pick your investments carefully, invest your money, and allow it to grow – don’t panic if the stock drops a few dollars. If the stock is a stable stock, it will go back up.


A common mistake that a lot of people make is thinking that their investments in collectibles will really pay off. Again, if this were true, everyone would do it. Don’t count on your Coke collection or your book collection to pay for your retirement years! Count on investments made with cold hard cash instead.

Save money and time on printer, copier and fax machine needs

Having your own printer is absolutely a great experience, especially for you that loves to take a picture with your digital camera and print it by yourself, or you that have to print out your document for a certain reason. It another great experience for us, having computer, having an internet connection and having printer.


But then I found something inconvenient with my printer, everytime its in low ink, I must rush to the store, purchase the ink cartridge and it is time consuming and expensive. Sometimes ink that I need not available at the store and it requires me to go to another store waste even more time.


But lately I found a better and cheaper solution for my ink cartridge need at inkers.biz, an online store that is dedicated to bring convenience to printer, copier and fax machine owners by offering cheap compatible ink cartriges, toner cartridges, solid ink and other fax supplies. Wide range of compatible ink cartridges and toners cartridges ara available at this online store, say Apple, Brother, Canon, Dell, Epson, even Ricoh and QMS.

They also give a better service because all of Inkers toner and ink cartridges are 100% guaranteed against defect for one full year and even have a thirty day no questions asked return policy. Inkers delivers free ground shipping and usually ships your toner and ink cartridges the same day as ordered.


Wouldn't it be nice to have our purchased ink cartridge or toner cartridge delivered at our doorstep, without requiring us to rush downtown to get those items? Of course it would and with inkers.biz it can!

It is situated on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula, has borders with Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey.

Pagerank ups and downs

Recently two of my blog's pagerank has been 'corrected' by google. One fresh blog (but mature domain) went to PR5 and my established domain was slammed to as low as zero pagerank. I assume google has crawled my disclosure page (it's without badge) and generalizing my blog as paid blog!


But what about the PR5 blog? I don't know, it might be a compliment from them!

You Can't Make An Omelette Without Breaking The Eggs

This is a story about sacrifice. Do you remember the project which I told you last time? Ohh.. Come on.. the time when I said that I should went on extra Sunday work? Aha.. that's it! Finally our client give their response upon the proposal we made that day. Simply said, the client's response has two consequences, the good and the bad.


The project was arranging an abroad furniture exhibition for two weeks in India. We have planned that the exhibition will be hold in one location within the biggest mall in that city. In our assumption, the exhibition would exposed to a large number of visitors since the mall constantly attracted 10,000 visitors each day. By a simple 10% conversion, the total assumed exhibition visitors would be as well as 1,000 people each day. And from the 1,000 amount, another 10% would be converted as potential buyers, which are 100 transactions per day.


Simply, it's a good idea and smart calculation even it only reached the lowest possible revenues. But, again the economical principles took the role. Our client wanted to have larger revenue opportunities by dividing the exhibition on several spots around the city, not only in the mall. Sure it would expand the coverages, but it would also increase the cost and resources. In addition, the exhibition is hold abroad which needs more anticipation and contingency plans to be provided.


Talking about budget, frankly there was no problem with that, even if we hold it on 10 different spots at the same time. It's just the matter of increasing the expenses and cutting half of our potential profits from the project.


This client is a kind of loyal customer if we just keep track of what they want and preserve it's all done with their preferences. It was better for us to keep the relationship intact by followed what they want, rather than insist with self-ideas and lose better opportunities on the next day.
