How To Build Real Wealth the secrets the rich dont want you to know about how to build wealth
Getting your mind in
line is critical when in comes to generating wealth. I like the old saying – ‘send the mind and the
body will follow’… well I like to say, ‘send the mind and the bank balance will follow’. You see
wealth very rarely comes from hard physical work, but comes in abundance when you use a little
brain power.
Wealth is a funny thing. We spend most of our lives to make it and then (if we make it) spend very
few years enjoying it. How about making it
Want To Be a Great Investor? Here Are 3 Traits You Should Possess
Do you want to be a great investor? Do you want to collect dividends, interest income, and rents on your money and build a net worth so you can focus on the things that matter in life, like your family? If so, there are three broad categories of traits you should possess that include the right temperament, the ability to value assets, and an appropriate understanding of risk.
The truth is, great investing isn’t about intelligence. It’s not about I.Q. or degrees, professional credentials or social standing. It’s about behavior. We’ve spent a lot of time on this site talking about millionaire dairy farmers and secret millionaires like Anne Scheiber. In basic terms, building wealth comes down to spending less than you earn, putting the surplus in good investments that throw off passive income, and doing it for a very long time so the money can compound uninterrupted. That’s the recipe. It’s so deceptively simple that many people can’t do it. They mistake simplicity for being easy. They are not the same thing.

The ONE Stock I Want to Own in 2012
If you're like a lot of investors, the euro zone crisis has you so spooked that you've trimmed way back on equities and now hold a lot of cash. That's not necessarily bad, especially if you'll need the money to cover short-term obligations. But you're investing for something far in the future, like retirement or your kid's college education, then I think you should seriously consider getting at least some of the cash back into equities.
Assuming you'd want to ease back in and not commit too much to stocks all at once, it would make good sense to select investments that can give the most bang for your buck without exposing you to too much risk. It just so happens, I have one in mind…
Long a bellwether of its industry and one of the 30 components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, this stock could be the one of the best to own going into 2012. Its main catalyst is rising global aluminum demand, which has just about doubled since 2006 and is on course to double again by 2020, especially on increased consumption in China. I can't think of a better way to play aluminum than investing in this industry giant, which, at about $ 10 a share, is trading 80% below its five-year high.
I'm talking about Alcoa, Inc. (NYSE: AA), the largest player in the global aluminum market. Alcoa makes 10% of the world's aluminum and 20% of all alumina, and these products make up about 80% of the company's $ 24.6 billion of annual revenue.

Want Better Returns on Your Stock Investments? Try Thinking Like a Business Owner.
I’ve spoken a lot about business and thinking like a business owner over the years. But it still amazes me that the average investor refuses to think like a business owner when there are significant advantages to taking that approach to putting together a portfolio. A business owner thinks about profits, risks, costs, and valuation. A business owner approaches each new venture trying to determine if he or she will get the initial investment back plus a good return after inflation and taxes. A good business owner knows to protect assets in case the country goes into a recession or depression. Yet, it seems as if none of these wise behaviors are mimicked when picking shares of stock for a brokerage account, 401(k), or Roth IRA.
Today, for example, was the day that General Electric stockholders received their quarterly dividend. Throughout my personal, business, and family brokerage accounts, retirement trusts, and pension plans, cash was deposited by GE to represent our part of the profit the company made by selling jet engines, railroad locomotives, wind turbines, credit lines, infrastructure equipment, and light bulbs. We bought our stake during the stock market meltdown a couple of years ago and now think of it as a family holding just as we do the real estate, manufacturing plant, and other assets we own. The stock market is only relevant to me in that it might provide the opportunity to buy more ownership when it is being offered cheaply or sell some ownership when it is being overpriced. Though, to be fair, I’m not particularly big on the selling part. My style is more being extremely selective so you never have to sell, or do so only rarely. But that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
As with all things, there are no guarantees in life. There are good business owners and bad business owners. Some are more successful than others. Some lose everything due to missteps and bad luck. The bottom line is that thinking about the reality behind the companies you own – what they do, how they make money, and what you are paying for your share of the profit – is probably the single most important step you can take to making sense of the enigma called Wall Street. After all, a piece of stock is nothing more or nothing less than a partial share of ownership in a company.
