As one wise man one said, people know the prices of everything and the value of nothing. I will not tell you who it was (despite the fact that I know it perfectly) and if it will be very interesting for you, you may find out by yourself. As for now I would like to concentrate on value and the price. In the reality value and price are two different meanings. Value have to be neutral and fair, while the price says nothing, because somebody may try to sell you something at price higher five time than it is really worth. 

But who can say how much is it really worth. How to determine that real fair market value. For that many valuation methods are used. The are many valuation methods, but there are three main methods: relative valuation, DCF valuation and cost regeneration method. The first two are most used in practice and the most reasonable when there is a need to determine the value of some asset. 

Theoretically any asset that have any worth can be an object of valuation. Mostly such objects stocks, real estate, bonds, other projects or businesses, cars or other movable assets. In reality, value can be determined for any asset or investment that can bring any income now or in the future. 
  • Relative valuation is easy to use because because all is needed is to find some other objects for comparison. And the values of those objects should be compared. Because of comparison this valuation method can be called comparison method too, but basically is called as relative valuation. 
  • DCF valuation is the next popular method and the first popular among finance professionals. DCF valuation is based on discounted cash flow and can be called discounted cash flow valuation method. This method is more difficult and requires more knowledge and experience to use. But results are also more professional. 
However, valuation of investments is not an easy task and is very sensitive to mistakes. It has to be performed by profesionals to get any reasonable results which should be real fair market value of an investment or other asset that has value.

The main problem is with trading in particular in shares in case market participants are planning to obtain rapid the results. To obtain really fast outcomes they set out to gamble. Speculation empowers the hazard really fully and not suggested for people; nevertheless in actual fact each one often performs that in investment and certainly one of the alternatives to increase hazard in investing is buying on margin. Buying in margin is specifically loved among novice traders which can be usually growing the probability of their outlay rather honestly. The stock markets that will be purchased on margin deliver the returns much faster still only if go in the wishful direction.

Margin call among the least beneficial problems, that should occur to the stock trader that is investing in stocks and shares. Buying on margin is risky since financial leverage is needed. Higher leverage implies higher threat as well as larger financing leverage is higher is the disposition to attain the margin calls that could be occasionally whenever investors are buying on margin. Buying on margin or possibly also referred to as margin trading will allow buying added investment opportunities that investor genuinely possesses the possessed equity as well as such decisions could possibly convert against the investor herself.

And that equilibrium brakes just as quickly just as arrives the collapse of financial markets. As the stock market start to decline the trading account which was build buying on margin occurs to lose value substantially more fast than usual investment opportunities. As well as the margin call is quite familiar.
  • The more worth loses the portfolio of investor the further nearby he gets to the margin call. 
  • Then when the value of an account is close up as much as necessary to necessary margin, and then investor do not possess additional money to make investments and then cover his bills created by financing leverage, he receives the margin call.
  • Margin call is manufactured by investment traditional bank and brokerage house, relying in which the investor possesses the bank account.
As well as let’s refer to the leverage buyout. Leverage buyout differs from buying on margin since buying on margin used for retail investment whenever leverage buyout is a method of financial investments. But one can find certain similarities also. The main association is the main leverage is required for each trades: buying on margin and then leveraged buyout. Leverage buyout involves not as much equity money but could possibly enhance the return especially seriously.

But keep in mind, obstacle in investment is greed. Greed help make market participants cut their sensible intelligence which make fundamental errors. It is indeed much human, to produce these types of faults, but they cost so much.

I always like to say that there are no best investments for everyone. If it is a best investment for me it does not necessary mean that this also will be the best investment for you. 


Every investors has his own approach to investing and investments. If investors prefers stocks and such investments meet his criteria the best then bonds won't be the best investments for him because the return of such investments will be to low. 

For example stocks also may have different characteristics. Of course the best investment should have some potential inside that other investments cannot offer. But if to believe that stocks and other securities are tend to have inside potential inner characteristics of the investor are also important. The more investor have experience the better he will know what investments suits him the best. 

In any way best investments for you should meet several criteria:
  • Should meet investors needs
  • Should have upside potential
  • Should be appropriate according financial market conditions of the current
