4 Disadvantages of a Student Charge Card

November 5th, 2011 Kevin Clark No Comments »

A student charge card is often necessary to make ongoing purchases while you are in school and not earning an income. For example, many students must place expenses like books and meal plans on a charge card since these are not covered in student loan sums. Student charge cards can help build your credit while you are in school, but this plan works only if you are able to repay the cards on time. There are a number of challenges that can arise and eat away at the benefits of a student charge card. 

Lack of Collateral

When a student secures a charge card, that student rarely has a high degree of assets in his or her name. This means two things: first, the credit line on a student charge card is typically very low; second, a cosigner may be required.

Want To Be A VC? Start A Company.

November 3rd, 2011 Emily Young No Comments »

Steve Blank has a great post up on his blog suggesting that VCs should require startup CEO experience in their partners resumes. He quotes from me in that post but Im not going to state which one came from me. You can guess if you want.

You might be surprised to know that I agree with Steve. I have never run a startup company. By Steves measure, that is a weakness in my background and experience. And I agree that it is. Ive managed to overcome that weakness, but it is a weakness nevertheless.

I particularly like this paragraph in Steves post:

What running a company would do is give early-stage VC’s a benchmark for reality, something most newly-minted partners sorely lack. They would learn how a founding CEO turns their money into a company which becomes a learning, execution and delivery engine. T

November 1st, 2011 admin No Comments »

Most companies today, regardless of their size, already have business credit cards that they use to more efficiently keep track of their business spending.

Your next credit card may change the way you shop

October 29th, 2011 Emily Young No Comments »

If you’ve recently traveled to Europe, or if you live in a popular tourist area in the United States, you may have noticed a new kind of credit card terminal at checkout counters. These devices combine the familiar magnetic stripe reader with up to two new sensors: a slot for credit cards with exposed “EMV chips,” and a pad for “tap and go” payments. For the past few years, Europe has been the testing ground for new credit card technology that could eventually render your current credit card obsolete.

Deciphering the new credit card lingo

The acronym EMV comes from the trio of processing networks that spearheaded the technology’s development: EuroPay, MasterCard and Visa.

Gold Fever Stoked by Chinese, Indian Buying

October 26th, 2011 Kevin Clark No Comments »

Gold’s ascent into the stratosphere has slowed in recent weeks, showing a 10% drop in September, but gold bulls believe there are still plenty of reasons to buy gold. Experts say consumption by China and India will continue to increase, which in turn will continue to raise prices. Further, a weak U.S. dollar may cause more diversification in gold, and continued instability in the Eurozone may result in weaker European countries collateralizing their gold stores. All of this activity means stronger gold prices, say analysts, and that the precious metal will remain a safe haven investment. For more on this continue reading the following article from TheStreet.

Experts at the Argyle Executive Forum are making a case to buy gold despite its lackluster performance of late.

David Lamb, managing director of jewelry and marketing of the World Gold Council, made a strong case for Indian and Chinese gold buying. I
