    Why is it that the price of gold has been shooting up so drastically over the last few days?

    Sometimes I get asset price targets from traders and then deep dive in to the analysis, the price of many assets including gold are known months in advance, the news for the day justifies the price often without rhyme or reason.

    What are your sources when searching where to invest?

    You have less that 1% probability of success so unless you know people with better skills then probability is against you, I was reading about a prop trading firm the other day where less than 1% of the traders made a "living wage" which is not $100,000s, the markets are designed to cycle...

    Where to get investment advice

    I know someone who was the group financial consultant to the top multi-nationals, went on to design their own fund management platform, and performs wealth management, depends on how much capital being deployed and the expected returns per year, that determines which structures to use, which...

    How much annual portfolio growth is considered successful?

    The number is 15-20% per year gross, 14% net, you have a 0.5% probability of hitting that number, crypto is 5x that number, benchmark is S&P at 7-10%pa, you have 8% probability of hitting that number.

    Need advise about investment strategy and tools please?

    You are at the wrong time, there is a transition from 2&20 type funds which filter down to retail towards another model, however that model is currently institutional (mainly use it for the funds that setup) and will be some years before it becomes mainstream, most investors are looking for...

    Dilemma with my life

    The problem is people don't like handouts and especially the older generation will do anything to avoid it, we had to do things like buy new fridge for birthday (I know), shopping spree when on holiday as a special treat, let me elaborate on why a family office even via an Ajman or RAK. When...

    Anyone in experienced in opening or running a fund (ie AIFLNP) in Cyprus?

    Some people can make those returns, but never consistently to build a portfolio and never managing third party capital, retail don't have the numbers to make it work even with access to technology and architecture, anyway I don't need to provide details, I have no need to manage other peoples...

    Anyone in experienced in opening or running a fund (ie AIFLNP) in Cyprus?

    Correct, percent return per annum, the real reason LTCM went under, yes they over leveraged, but they were providing 40%pa to accredited investors, that's a no no in the financial markets, people like Renaissance also produce 40%pa but they are closed employee funds, friends and family...

    Bitcoin etf 10 January

    Be careful with this, there are numbers I've seen at 1.5k / 3lk / 6k with regulated crypto as this is the institutional price to coexist with fiat, have you ever considered this is the next step to that end, sure it can go to new all time highs but equally could collapse just as it did from 60k...

    Anyone in experienced in opening or running a fund (ie AIFLNP) in Cyprus?

    You really don't want to do that, the markets will not allow public money to be traded via fiat funds at high return numbers, for those numbers it's wild west crypto, Cyprus does not have a good reputation so comes down to investor location, a true fund will cost $10,000s in setup costs and...

    Prop Firms, EA's and Trading Gurus (Looking for Experienced Traders in FOREX - STCOKS - Commodities)

    There are no good courses to make a career, it costs $100,000s to train someone to make a career in the markets, it's why banks have revenue per employee numbers around $1,000,000, there are a few good courses to get you to 80% of sideline profits (15-20% per year on residual capital) but...

    Prop Firms, EA's and Trading Gurus (Looking for Experienced Traders in FOREX - STCOKS - Commodities)

    It's very simple, prop firms have a 92% failure rate, only the top 1% using them make any meaningful profits, the other factor is it costs $500,000/yr to train someone to be successful in the markets, it's why revenue per employee of good banks are $1million to $2million per year. Unless you...

    Where to buy a online business, is there a reputable website?

    Flippa is the first stop, there are a few others but either way it's going to cost $100,000 for something generating revenue, if you want a ready to launch site but without the revenue there are a couple companies that have infrastructure costing $1,000s and $10,000s, they auto rank with Google...

    Have 200K EURO to invest in crypto, what coin would you place them in?

    You don't want to do that, the people I work with have a crypto arb system that they are selling the ip to a hedge fund, it generates 100% of AUM profits from 1%/2%/5% of AUM and the rest of AUM is parked in a stablecoin, I was talking to various crypo funds about their using it but it's too...
