Winter is definitely coming to London: the temperature is dropping, Oxford Street is decked out in Christmas lights and my new classmates and friends are all starting to talk about going home for the holidays.  Although the dreary weather is a bit depressing I love the winter because it means it’s time to hit the slopes for snowboard and ski season!  And I’m especially excited this year because I’m...

One of my best friends I’ve met since moving to London is a junior investment banker named Jim.  Jim is an Australian and works for a large American bank, spending half of each year at a branch in the centre of London and half a year in New York, which goes to show just how global the world has become!  Because of his interesting immigration status Jim is able to take advantage of quite a few tax loopholes. ...

With the US economy’s painfully tepid regrowth many investors have long since lost confidence in the ailing American dollar. I have a friend, Harry from Cyprus (who I don’t know from university!), who has made a fortune as a currency trader and is always telling me I should quit school and try my hand in the Forex.

It may sound crude, but it’s what 99% of real estate investors do, and it’s completely safe and legal. We all know that investing in real estate requires a...

Debt is probably the least favorite word for most people. However, it’s one of the rich mens’ favorite investment type. It can be hard to grasp how people get rich by getting more debt, but this is what separates the working class and the wealthy people. To understand the concept of ‘good debt’ we first have to visit the classic bad debt, which we all put ourselves into at one point...

With Christmas just a few weeks ago, investors are wondering whether there was a chance for a Christmas miracle after the holiday season. After another year with not much to be jolly about there seems to be a growing sense of optimism on Wall Street with markets finally beginning to look bullish. The S&P 500 climbed to its highest peak since September 2008 and the Nasdaq is now stronger then it has been...

For anyone who has looked into the silver price knows that it is very volatile and seemingly impossible to predict. However, this is only partially true because historically, just like gold, silver has gone up in value and from now on, experts believe that it will only increase. Why is this?

Some of you might be familiar with the term “flipping houses”, and many of you hate flipping, while others couldn’t live without it! Flipping real estate is simple in theory: you buy a house for cheap, invest some money into repairs, remodeling and advertising, then sell it for a big sum of money!
