A trader who wants to survive and prosper must control losses.With the emergence of cryptocurrencies, an enormous amount of unexperienced investors got into trading. It is not strange at all, then, that scammers saw it as their shining moment. As a result, hundreds if not thousands of telegram groups were created, promising a secret algorithm, let’s call it a miracle 2.0, that will multiply one’s returns by ten.As crazy as it may sound, many newcomers actually believe that successful traders have some secret knowledge that allows them to stay afloat, no matter what happens in the market. In reality, this fantasy only helps “filthy players” to make money on simple men, by increasing sales of advisory services and ready-made trading systems and bots.As Alexander Elder, a Russian-American (...)

Investing in commodities, such as coal, #gold or oil, can be difficult for investors. A major reason for this is that unlike stocks and bonds, commodities are not readily transferable and easily accessible to the average investor.

With the rise of Blockchain technology, tokenizing commodities can be a reality.What Are Commodities?Commodities are in general raw materials or goods that are grown or mined.

This biased approach to decision making is largely unintentional and often results in ignoring inconsistent information.

“Tokenization” is pitched as an efficient way to securitize small deals, under $80M. However, it suffers from a deep underlying problem, which is that small cap deals make bad security investments. They don’t consistently deliver profits for passive security buyers, and investors are not buying. If there is no way to package small offers for passive investors, then the current “tokenization” pitch is a dead end. Is your deal dead? In this article, we examine the size of the problem and propose some enhancements.The traditional private investment market works well. There are a lot of private deals under $80M, in which 1–20 fairly active buyers buy stakes and hold them indefinitely. The volume of offers that are “securitized” and distributed to less committed investors is vanishingly small in (...)

However, in exchange for that safety, Treasury bonds return a small percentage of the investment that varies based on the Federal Reserve policy.However, to have much higher returns, sometimes a multiple of the money you invested in the first place, there’s only one possible way to achieve those returns. That path is investing in more speculative vehicles, such as privately-held companies, also known as private equity.The problem is this: unless you have a disciplined portfolio strategy, your one or two private equity bets may not work.
