After a big PR coup in 2011 with Bank Transfer Day, one might reasonably suspect that credit unions have a rosy outlook for 2012. A recent report by the National Association of Federal Credit Unions suggests that the future for credit unions is looking up, but their challenges are not dissimilar to their banking competitors.

According to the report, the Economic & CU Issues Monitor, the majority of survey participants said that they expect an increase in share growth in 2012, while only 20.8 percent expect share growth to decrease.

The Management Team – While Building The Business

January 18th, 2012 Emily Young No Comments »

This is the third and final post on the subject of the management team. The final phase of company development I am going to cover is “building the business.” Building the business largely means building the management team. They are one and the same.

Many founders are naturally talented at building product and building the user base. But building the company comes harder to them. I once discussed this with Roelof Botha and he made a fantastic suggestion. Founders should think of the business as yet another product they are building. It is the ultimate product they are building because from the company can come any number of additional products and any number of additional initiatives. The company, if built correctly, will be more important than any single product it can create.

Understanding Currency Markets, Investing

January 10th, 2012 Kevin Clark No Comments »

Currency markets are fast becoming an attractive avenue for investors to make gains by betting on currency value fluctuations in a market that is open nearly 24 hours a day. The main thing that keeps many out of the market is a lack of understanding the mechanics of currency trading, particularly the use of futures and options. Options are bought and sold as rights to make purchases or sales of a thing in the future that allow investors to mitigate the risk found on in cash markets. Understanding these concepts can open up a new avenue of trading that can offer opportunities for profit not found in the traditional market. For more on this continue reading the following article from TheStreet. Read more…

Stocks the Insiders Are Buying

January 10th, 2012 Christina Hall No Comments »

Every minute on Wall Street, pundits, traders and investors are looking for the ever-elusive buy signal. A Golden Cross, the Butterfly Reversal, the Climax Low — all are colorfully named signposts that supposedly will lead investors in the right direction if only they heed them. But there’s one indicator with a pretty good track record that almost anyone can follow: Buy a stock soon after that company’s executives do.

Corporate insiders — such as the CEO or members of boards of directors — have been on a buying binge. In August, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average was gyrating by hundreds of points each day, officers and directors bought $1.2 billion of their own company’s stock, the most since November 2008.
