The game of “Texas Hold ‘em” poker can be compared to investing in the stock market, and I argue that if an individual views the game as such then they can dramatically improve the return on their “investments”. In the game of “Texas hold ‘em”, every single hand begins with each player getting dealt two cards face down from the deck. There are one thousand three hundred twenty six different pair combinations in a deck of fifty two cards. These pairs of cards are not just cards, in the eyes of a player who has an investor’s mentality, but each pair of cards represents a business for that player to make a possible investment in. In order for this concept to make an individual profitable gains they only need to alter their perspective on the game in two ways.

There are many theories floating around out there in the vast world-wide-web, trying to debunk this symbolism as having satanic or religious meaning, mysterious ties to the “illuminati” and other secret societies, and capable of having a spellbound enchantment on its owners/users.
In this article, let’s decode the Latin motto “Annuit Coeptis” that is found on the back of the US one dollar bill. I thought this would be a great follow up to an article about appreciation for a couple reasons. One, the dollar is how we measure appreciation for consumer goods and services in a free market capitalist economy. Two, we are steadily approaching the biggest capitalist/consumer holidays of the year.
I talked about how financial planning is the category of personal finance that measures an individual’s respect for their money, and responsibility for sustaining the futures of their own lifestyle. This is where the third main category of personal finance comes into account, and this category I am referring to is investing. Investing makes the world go round, not only in terms of our economy, but also in terms of our way of life. It is a gesture of giving back to the economy that is responsible for producing the provisions necessary for sustaining your lifestyle, and it is also the process of supporting or introducing assets in an economy.
Entrepreneurs are able to do this by having an understanding of contracts. Contracts can get complex, but they also can be short and simple. Entrepreneurs never need to fear entering a contract for a deal, because regardless if the agreement is fifty pages or one page long, there are only two clauses they need to remember.
What hasn't changed since the great Bronze Age of Babylon, are the fundamental rules of money. If you ever wondered what is in that “special sauce” that not only makes a financially prosperous individual, but also a financially prosperous society, then look alive. If you pay mind to what I share with you in this post, I promise you, it will be the best deal you will ever make in your life. If you so choose to implement these rules in your life, even if only to see what returns, you will be doing a service not only for yourself but for your fellow man and loved ones as well.
All this set aside, penny stocks are where the big rewards are at for those who have smaller trading accounts, or those with large trading accounts who like to make quick lump sums of cash. I have discovered these three methods during my early stages of trading, and have reaped rewards from all three, and as I gained more experience I learned some of the tricks/tips involved with each that will help you do the same.
1. Inflation – this is when the economy is accumulating more currency, in the form of debt. The more currency created (whether via printing press or electronically) the less value (purchasing power) that currency has.
2. Value – the measure of relativity between any two resources within an exchange 3. Fiat money – currency a government declares as money, and just like the paper that comes with a game of Monopoly is called money, the value of that money is retained just the same. The value is anchored to a presumptuous unspoken promise. Paper currency is fiat money. The currency you receive in exchange for the labor (time) you invest at your job, or from selling goods/services, is funny money (does not retain or preserve value). During inflationary periods in the economy, the purchasing power of that money steady depletes, meaning it takes more of it to buy the things you need/want like: - Food - Energy - Shelter - Clothing - Entertainment …but Gold and Silver is considered “real” money in its ability to preserve value.
This is a follow-up to an article I released called “Good Debt vs Bad Debt”. In the article I gave some examples of bad debt and how bad debt gets ugly by taking a precedent over your free-time. Now, I want to share an easy way you can leverage an example of good debt to make you hundreds of dollars each year and build credit.
