One of the best decisions you can make when expanding your investment portfolio, is to put the thought in commodity trading. There are many people who want to manage a commodity investment for you, but you must choose carefully as most lose!

On the commodity broker is a middleman who speak many different principals (sellers, producers, consumers of goods) in the hope he will get a “reservation” to buy or sell goods. He takes a commission from the transaction which is deducted from the seller’s account.

Part of the value of a good commodity broker is that he provides not only information about prices and appointments, but the snippets of gossip about who does what – and why. Traders are always focused on the supply and demand aspects of physical goods as the trade and as well as the larger macroeconomic picture, so it is important to consider what other competitors do it in the market. Some brokers are offering a variety of value-added services to provide not only price information – but with lots of ideas – on the economic background, current and future price trends, etc. Whether brokers are futures brokers or deal with physical transactions, the tendency has been for many of them to become principals. Traders may be wary of the information provided by brokers, especially if they feel it has been influenced by the broker’s own relationship to another position taker – either in his own group, or elsewhere. But since firms are largely wants to commission as a way to make money for the company – and his own commission, this can be somewhat churlish position to take. Nevertheless, brokers play a key role in boosting price transparency together with international and domestic commodity exchanges.

Let’s stoop to take a look at what kind of commodity brokers to avoid:

- Mediator with hypothetical track records

These commodity brokers simply shooting performance status graph that looks great in retrospect, and very often broken in real-time trading partners.

- Leaders who say they are real time track record but no audit

Not only will you have a track record verified, you will have a statement that the account you are investing in are representative of all funds under management.

- Draw Down

Watch out for very unstable performance, the greater the drawdown the greater the risk of ruin. Generally, look for broker that has a smooth equity curve. Look for the drawdown of around 30% max.

- Conflict of interest

Check your broker does not earn a percentage of sales charges, so this sets up a conflict of interest. They can deal with the Commission, rather than profits. Try and get the brokers who have the confidence to be paid on performance only.

These may be extreme examples, but the bottom line is that events often happen when you least expect them. You should treat your trading account in contrast to all other investments, and when you do this, there are three things you can do:

1. Accept that sometimes there will be an extreme case, so if the worst that can normally happen is a 30% decline in profit warning, or a corresponding increase in a bid overnight, work out how much that will affect equity.

2. Do not feel that by buying five blue chips equal amounts, you have diversified the risk – if they are highly correlated ie high beta stocks, or they are all tech stocks, so it is virtually the same risk as buying five times the amount in a stock.

3. If equity is falling, and statistically you can expect a run of eight or more losses in a row more than once during a typical trading life keep it smaller before you start winning again.

How much should you risk on each trade?

From experience, if you aim to lose an absolute maximum of 5% of account equity on a trade, and combine a wide range of industries in different asset classes with long and short positions, so you should have at least 20 attempts before it is time to give up.

So if you have to put a stop loss on a volatile share which is greater than normal, and simply reduce the trade size for that part so that the maximum loss is not higher than usual. Furthermore, if you run into a number of losers, if you continue to reduce position size, the losses will be slower.

Finally, all industries should be treated the same way, and if you do not feel that any trade looks as good as others on the list, you can not do it. The talk is that you must take every trade that fits your entry criteria, whether you won or lost recently. The whole point is that a good disciplined system works only when all sectors are taken with equal amounts using realistic targets, stops and money management.

Clearly indicate the positions correctly and where to place stop losses of great significance, but one that is rarely examined because it is very complex is money, and the reason is probably quite simple.

Some trades or investments appeal to different people, and who is to know what the overall financial position is before giving them the right advice on what amount to trade or invest. Furthermore, it is very easy for an investor to confuse a trade with an investment in shares, or make a long-term purchase but with one eye on a quick buck. For these reasons, money management rules must be followed for each trade.

A typical experience

One of the experiences many of the great traders have in common is that they blew a fortune early, just because they had no conception of money management. A typical story was that they had traded well, running a sum of say $ 10,000 to $ 15,000 in six months, and they began to think that because they had a good trading system, they would have done better by leveraging up super fast profit. In some cases they simply doubled up trading positions, but ran into a series of losses. As they do not reduce trading size accordingly account equity was wiped out and they ended up actually due to money in a few days – it was fast.

That they probably were not limiting risk with stop losses, but in some cases the share or commodity gapped up or down, and just a great trading position was all it took to blow away months of hard work.

Extreme events and problems they can cause

One of the more sensational aspects of trading, the frequency of extreme events, but these are just statistical anomalies that occur with random regularity (forgive the lapse into chaos theory, but it is important). There have been instances of a doubling of a share price overnight – this occurred with Psion twice in 1999. At the other extreme, there was a decrease of 70% on a day with Marconi on 21 March 2002, where they opened at 92.5p (adjusted for share consolidation), and the next day hit 27.5p. At the time, both the FTSE 350 shares at the time, and not small companies.

9 .- How long have you been in business?

Another essential aspect to know is if people have already done this business before and just if you have a long way. Is not the same risk that a proposal at the first time someone made that a person experienced in the subject.

This touches on the previous point, and as mentioned, is another variable that influences the degree of risk that every business has

10 .- What results have you had before?

If the person has made a wide path or businesses or projects like that is important to know the results prior to the investor to know that people are expecting an ideal, or even may need help dealing with the business in the best possible way.

C) Content and armed proposals

Something that develops over time, is a way to “filter” or rather label a proposal. Here we are talking about the presentation was obviously depends very much where we communicate our proposal, but in order to expose just how growth can present a proposal basically, until something more advanced.

The things mentioned here should have them or yes, but again here I am talking about the way it is presented a proposal.

1) Basic Presentation

A – Brief description of the idea or the project’s Executive Summary
B – Level of risk of the proposal
C – Methodology for investment (Socio capitalist inward parts, seed capital, etc.).
D – Amount to invest
E – Return on Investment
F – Securities and other securities to investors. (Even the inverter output methodology)

2) Full presentation

A – Brief description of the idea or the project’s Executive Summary
B – Level of risk of the proposal
C – Methodology for investment (Socio capitalist inward parts, seed capital, etc.)
D – Amount to invest
E – Return on Investment
F – Securities and other securities to investors
G – Cash flow
H – Financial projections
I – NPV and IRR of the project
J – Profile of the entrepreneur and data
K – Documents and relevant annexes (Market research, feasibility and feasibility studies, etc)

3) Optimal presentation

A – complete business plan. (In the case of venture or project)
B – Financial Plan or full investment.
C-Notes and Annexes.

I hope that with this guide to learn not only the entrepreneurs to present investment proposals to get investors (whether through social networks, virtual communities, forums, etc.) but also that investors have a picture of those things that must take into account and ask the entrepreneur to invest in your project.

As you see, do not talk about confidential information or present a risk to the project by commenting on private matters, but is rather the communication part of the process of attracting investors. So those proposals that can not communicate these things (which I repeat … NOT confidential) should be approached with eyes wide open.

5 .- What guarantees or insurance gives the investor?

At this point it should be clear all the papers such as contracts, guarantees and insurance to be granted to the investor which show the seriousness of the project. The information to be submitted at this point is from the type of contract that will be generated between the parties, as well as all those aspects that offered the proposal to grant as security for added safety and comfort of the investor.

Remember, this goes hand in hand the type of proposal will, in some projects can otrogan a percentage of society, in others there may be a personal as well garatía in other promissory note or contract by mutual agreement; Finally, there are many possibilities to suit various types of proposals and obviously must be considered and advised the investor just because they affect the decision.

Why do you influence? There are certain guarantees or insurance in case something happens with more or less complex to claim, that is part of the risk. And any investment … has a degree of risk.

6 .- What is investment risk?

Beyond the data that the investor can look through information that is provided, a fundamental aspect to be submitted by anyone who offers a proposal are all those variables that can be considered at risk for the investor. When we talk about risk we refer to all situations or conditions that may occur (or even present) and that could jeopardize the project and therefore the capital or issued by the investors.

It really bothers me when filing a proposal said to have “zero risk.” The risk is everywhere, there is no way to escape it, or Donald Trump, and Robert Kiyosaki, and Warren Buffet can escape it. Yes you can siminuir or increase the degree of the same and can be divided into 2 variables. On the one hand the risk by the lack of experience and knowledge of the investor (that it is personal) and on the other hand the risk that a project represents.

So remember, if you want to submit a proposal to mention the risk, and NEVER say their proposal has “zero risk.” And if investors and read that a proposal has “zero risk” open their eyes, this entrepreneur probably did their homework or proposal may have “something weird.”

7 .- How to enter and leave the investor’s business?

The investor will know in advance how to enter a proposal, this includes all the papers mentioned above, such type of contract but must also know how to get out of the proposal. This refers to the conditions to be provided to the investor to recover their money plus interest and wholly disconnected from the proposal.

In some projects, such as entrepreneurship, can be mentioned that after a certain period the entrepreneur can buy (finance) the party with the investor and thus it leaves the proposal. In another type of proposal such as loans, you can specify the time and form of payment that investors will recover their money plus interest.

8 .- Who carries out the proposal?

It is important to know the person who will be carrying out the project (whether or not the author of the item) is therefore essential to have a brief presentation of this person for the safety of investors.

There is no worse mistake in a proposal that does not talk about the entrepreneur or the person carrying out the proposal. Even it is important to mention a little previous experience in these matters.

This is important, but not bad to fail, because every failure you learn something new. Two proposals as well, but one where the emprendor failed 5 times and one where the empredor had 5 hits, talks a lot and says a lot of other possible risk to consider.

B) What aspects should include minimally an investment proposal?

Below are some questions that must be present in any presentation of an investment proposal and are just 10 basic questions that generate interest among investors and as mentioned above streamline the process, leaving other details for future reference :

1 .- How much capital is needed?

Every project must submit the requested amount is needed to carry out the undertaking, business or investment.

This fact is important because it is also just a filter and helps both parties. It would be a shame to have used much time and effort talking about our proposal and then see the ivnersores not reach the amount necessary to cover the same, are 1, 2 or 100 investors.

From the perspective of the investor, this also serves to automatically discard or not the proposal. If I know I have $ 10,000 to invest, I’m going to put in a proposal to request $ 20,000 minimum.

2 .- How or what they will use that capital?

Investors using this information will achieve not only know the specific purpose for their money, but also how to use it. This is useful even for those experienced in the business investors to analyze whether the proposal is well under way and details are correct.

This is an important fact, many times I’ve seen commenting on proposals that received support from investors (eg amteria contacts) and were able to reduce project costs.

On the other hand, the more you explain this point, the greater the confidence that investors will generate.

For example, it is not a loan, that request money for a startup (a company in birth), or for working capital, where the entrepreneur has a secure job, but has no financial back to take them all.

3 .- What are you looking for? A venture partner, the contribution of several investors, etc..?

Many proposals have different ways of participation for the investor. At the time of providing any investment is to be communicated to the type of investment that is how well the type of investor.

As an example, proposals have the potential number of investors (inward) and others not, thanks to this information filtering investors are going for those that fit the investment profile required to achieve an interest in the proposal.

If from the start is advised to search a single investor, the proposal again is filtered and only the people who has the total capital will be interested. It also happens that many times an entrepreneur calls for a large amount if not clear you can invest in shares-shares (contributions of many investors) it loses interest because people think you are looking for a single investor for the total of money requested .

4 .- What return on investment (ROI) have estimated? (Where possible monthly and / or annual)

Another fundamental aspect to consider when an investment proposal is the return of the same, usually referred to as ROI (Return Of Investment) or RSI (ROI). With this information investors may see the level of interest has the proposal and make its calculations and see if they participate or not in the same

Added to this is this ideal that any proposal other than the calculations of NPV (Net Present Value) and IRR (Internal Rate of Return) for the investor to have a further analysis of the proposal.

There are less data, but data often do not publish them. You have to understand that these 3 data (ROI, NPV and IRR) do not say anything about the project that may be confidential. On the contrary, I consider one of the most important, they say nothing confidential project, but very few investors not mention it.

I really went crazy with the title of this article Why? It’s simple … phone on one side I’ll then copy (with annotations) is posted to the Community of Empresores.com (and I wrote a while ago) and most importantly, he has 2 goals. On the one hand help entrepreneurs to develop or rather to present its proposal for an attractive investment for investors, but on the other side to help investors understand the basic questions you should know before putting money into a project.

Yes, I ask a favor. I have seen many sites, blogs and journals Financial Intelligence copy content, no bad copy content, but it is important to respect the copyright. This guide was produced with the experience and after 4 years of being in touch with entrepreneurs and investors, so remember to cite the author and the blog for ethical.

Finally I would remind you that this guide is the exclusive property of the Commonwealth of Empresores.com 100% and was developed for use by members of this community

So as in the last article I promised, here are this guide to learn how to submit proposals or to know what basics should consider:

A) What is the point this guide?

Any investment project that is looking for investors, shall have the following basic information in order to generate interest among investors and greater dynamics in financing a project. On the other hand, this guide is for investors who are just starting to have a base of basic things that should have before making a decision and I explain the benefits of providing or requesting this information.

* It allows investors to quickly filter a proposal to avoid wasting time doing basic queries or by contacting the person in charge of the project this way is a small base that automatically makes an investor decide whether or not further out on subject.

* The proposal offers not waste time answering individual investors, but it just streamlines the process more complicated, leaving the details or rather the final details, precisely, for last.

* Demonstrate professionalism and transparency by the person offering a proposal. Today I see internet forums and even social networks proposals which do not address business right from the start as is correct. That just gives a very bad image of the entrepreneur, and plays many drawbacks.

* Streamline the process to obtain the optimal capital, secure, transparent and as soon as possible, and as I said earlier, leave the details more complicated or that merit further explanation for the final

They worry that their data may not be secure, they worry that a fire at night at the colocation could destroy their business, and a multitude of other things.

The typical colocation provider has state-of-the-art measures to combat these possible scenarios, their safety measures are likely to be much better than the company ever experienced when the data center was located in-house. However, when equipment and information are stored in a remote location, a person can’t help but wonder how safe they really are.

Unfortunately, some companies still chose colocation providers located in sub-prime locations. What is a sub-prime location? A sub-prime location is considered to be anywhere subject to an unusual number of natural or man-made disasters. For example, you wouldn’t want your severs stored in a building that was in an area of high earthquake activity, or in an area where terrorists targeted the power infrastructure repeatedly.

A London colocation provider has none of these risks. While a major metropolitan city, London is free from almost all risk factors. Few earthquakes or volcanoes ever hit the city of London, and the government cracks down on any suspected civil insurrection immediately, discouraging any man-made threats. You can rest assured your equipment and data are both safe in a London colocation.

Required rate of return for investments

The required rate of return is the minimum rate of return that an investment should be required for it to be accepted. In determining this ratio must be taken into account all internal and external factors that influence the investment decision.

The assumption of financial theory which states that “investors are averse to risk” takes great significance in the sense that, as there is more risk involved in the decision to invest in a project will require a higher yield the resources invested.

Thus, the expected return for a specific investment project depends on project risk assessed, taking into account the risk-free rate and reditualidad to invest in this project.

The aspects discussed above are a useful tool to achieve a proper financial management in the field of decision making rent to business investment, but this must be based and complemented with the technical, mathematical and monitoring controls implemented by the responsible for financial matters of the company.
