During the current economic climate, there are factors that entrepreneurs look at more closely when it comes to starting up a business. The “where” and “how much” factors become a bigger part of the decision, as one looks to trim any unnecessary cost factors. Gone are the days where if you were technology based, you’d set up in Silicon Valley or if you needed to network with business contacts – set up shop in New York. Ironically, thanks to modern day technology, you can set up in a much wider range of locations.
Entrepreneurs look at factors like the ease of recruitment, and as a result – have looked into the central states of the US, such as Colorado, where the workforce is well educated, quality of life is good, and cost of living is a big step lower than on the coasts.
With hopes up about stabilisation of the economy, this is a great opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs and small business start ups alike to take things to the next level. Over the last few years, several angel groups and individual investors have started to set up shop in cities like St. Louis (such as the Arch Angel Investor Network), again bucking the general trends.
On the Central Investment Network – entrepreneurs in the Central states of the US get another chance to connect with angel investors. Members can get their business ideas and plans out to hundreds of local investors – and since Central Investment Network is part of the Angel Investment Network, members can connect with thousands of other investors from around the world. In fact the network grows continuously, with branches in over 40 countries and investments occurring both on a local and international basis.
Of course, the plans have to be well thought out and organised, as while entrepreneurs may have less competition, the investors are also more choosy. Still, there are signs that more successful angel investment strategies such as venture capital investments are occurring within the central states. While some venture capital backed companies have gone bankrupt this year in the U.S, almost all of them are California based, and none of them are in the states that the Central Investment Network covers – which includes Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Utah & Wyoming.

Warren Buffett says that distressed assets are a great investment in an interview with Charlie Rose. He talks about Mortgage-Backed Securities, the government bailout. He says if you buy distressed assets at distressed prices, you will make money. He also mentions his confidence in the US economy over time, and closes with his classic quote: “You want to be greedy when others are fearful, you want to be fearful when others are greedy.”
Help answer the question about investment
What is the best investment for your money?What is the best short term investment for one's money with the highest return, with the lowest amount of risk? I'm invested in CD's and they give a good interest rate and very skeptical of the stock market yoyo and not interested in the shaky housing market. But my question still remains and want to know what do you think would be the best investment, also thinking about foreign securities, but what do you think is a good investment and also for retirement long term too?

At the moment, t-bills. Better than cds. No state and local taxes.
Long term–a variety of index funds and mutual funds with different investment objectives. Examples: PENNX–small cap stocks, SPY–large cap stocks, SWZ–Swiss stocks, TDF–Chinese stocks, IJH–mid cap stocks.
If she has an account with money in it, she can just write checks.
Even if its 500 businesses.
More often people first figure out or guess that the second business will have some profit. If the first business is profitable, then you bring the business plan to a bank and borrow the money. Go slow but if and when you can count on 20 or 30% profit, start numbers 3 through 5 the next year. Then you salt away some of the profits and retire when or if you want to.
Dude, IBD deals with M&As and raising capital for businesses. What your on about is leveraged trading of CDS and other CDOs. Employees who work in IBD are not responsible for this.
wow our uni sounds so good >_>
Used to work for investment bank..Don’t really add value to society, in a minute number of cases they do – you don’t get enough value for money..
The basic idea is to encourage high trading volumes and make money of the transactions and commissions…think of it like a leech, sprays anaesthetic with the bite, by the time you realise; it’s usually too late.
Spread betting is definitely easier to understand – you just choose the direction up or down and voila… Options are cheap but they tend to expire worthless. Options are more complex instruments and are best left to experienced traders – the only reason they are popular in the USA is that options provide gearing and they they don't have CFDs there. If you are in the UK or Ireland I would definitely go for spread betting.
As for which one you are more likely to win or make you a millionaire (!) that depends wholly on your trading skills – you can be successful in spread betting, futures, options, normal stock market dealing…IF you are able to predict the correct market direction. I can tell you that last year (2008) was a very painful year to trade (unless you happened to short banking stocks)…

What are Parasists? Are they a combination of racists, rapists and parasites? Sounds good to me.
Become a stock broker. Build a successful and happy clientele. Move up into the retail and investment banking groups. Keep building your happy clients. After 10-20 years, break away to start your own operation and take clients with you. If you're consistently good at selecting profitable investments than your track record will attract money. Then you'll have 401k managers, credit unions and other institutional investors prepared to put in tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Basically, this is a lifetime ambition like running for president. It starts from college.

There is no such major in college as Investment Banking. They give you training after you have been accepted for that job. I am studing Aeronautical Engineering, then most likeley I will pursue an MBA in graduate school.
I would advise you to get an Mechanical Engineering degree then get and MBA. While not as sexy as investment banking engineers run nearly every manufacturing and product based company in the world. Financial Firms are service based firms and are simply a middleman. However if you are bent on investment banking, do well in your undergrad classes as an accounting major. Then get a masters in finance and intern at a big investment bank ie houlihan lokey ,goldmansachs, jpm ect.
Shares / IPOs / Mutual Funds / F&O / Gold ETF etc
