Investors today want to know: “Where can I find a legitimate high yield investment with low risk for my money?”

Many people have seen their retirement savings wither in the current global financial calamity. And, as a result, we are seeing an exodus of investors out of the stock markets and into the safest money investments they can find to shelter what’s left of their lifetime savings until the economy stabilizes.

We’re seeing many investors now moving their money into investments such as Certificates of Deposit and U.S. Treasury Securities whose returns likely won’t keep up with the rate of inflation because of their very low yields. But, people are settling for these low returns versus the risk of losing more in the stock markets or elsewhere. They’re scared and many don’t know where else to turn.

The truth is that investors today don’t have to settle for these sub-inflation or break-even investments. They can still find legitimate high yield investment opportunities with very low risk to principal if they just knew where to look.

So, here’s the problem: most people don’t know where to look to find legitimate high yield investment opportunities. They are so ’shell-shocked’ from their portfolio and stock market declines that they’re scared, cynical and skeptical when presented with opportunities that claim to be “high yield investments”. And, they turn a deaf ear to investments that they might have welcomed in better times.

But who can blame them? We’re seeing a resurgance of Ponzi schemes and other scams, identify theft, etc.

Fact #1: You can still find legitimate high yield investment opportunities today with low risk to your principal.

Fact #2: Many of the richest people in the world today, made their fortunes when the economies hit rock bottom. These investors chose to look for opportunities when the masses focused on despair. They recognized how stock markets and economies are cyclical by nature and they looked to the future.

So, let’s see if we can’t look to the future and spot a legitimate high yield investment opportunity staring at us right now:

Two realities that are public knowledge in America today are:

1) There is a limited amount of undeveloped, raw land available in the U.S.

2) The U.S. population is projected to grow +29% between 2000-2030.

In other words: “We’re making more people, but we can’t make any more land.”

What does this information tell us?

i) We will have approximately 82,000,0000 more people living in the United States by the year 2030. (According to the U.S. Census Bureau.)

ii) These new people will need new homes, new schools, new shopping, new businesses and new communities to support them.

So, what legitimate high yield investment opportunites does this present?

Let’s talk about “Raw Land Development”. Ever heard of it? If not, you should seriously consider learning about it right now.

This situation, of limited supply (limited amount of raw land) and growing demand (population growth) is a fundamental economic illustration of what happens when demand for a product is greater than its supply. By definition, the product becomes more valuable. Yes?

Well, the products, in this situation, would be the new homes, new schools, new shopping, new businesses and new communities needed to support the growing demand created by population growth.

This poses a tremendous opportunity for what legitimate high yield investment? How about “Raw Land Development”, the essential ‘building blocks’ of new community construction.

In December of 2004, the highly acclaimed Washington DC think-tank, Brookings Institution commissioned a research study conducted by Virginia Tech University. This study was titled “Toward a New Metropolis: The Opportunity To Rebuild America.”

According to the study, to accomodate the projected population growth, America’s future raw land development and construction needs require approximately 209 BILLION square feet of new land development between 2000 – 2030.

Estimated cost? $25 TRILLION. And, the bulk of this massive raw land development and construction expansion will be spent in 10 major metropolitan regions, which the Brookings study calls “ Megapolitans“. Plus, the study tells us exactly where these 10 Megapolitans are located.

By the way, this is happening right now!

How can investors profit from this legitimate high yield investment opportunity?

1st) By educating themselves asap about Raw Land Development

2nd) By researching the Brookings Institution study findings.

3rd) By investing in the companies that will be driving this new raw land development growth.

Raw Land Development Investment Benefits:

A) Legitimate High Yield Investment:

A proven investment option is to invest as a ’silent investor partner’ with a professional raw land development company. The key is finding seasoned, reputable companies in this field.

Professional raw land development companies or ‘land developers’ often seek outside investors as silent partners to raise capital for their raw land development projects. Silent partners have no involvement in the day-to-day management activities of the business, but they share in the net profits of the project. In addition to profit sharing, some professional raw land developers also will pay high yield interest to their silent partners for the use of their money until the principal is returned.

B) Legitimate Low Risk Investments:

It is regular practice for professional raw land development companies to back their silent investor partners’ principal investments with project assets (e.g. the value of the land itself). This means that in the event of a developer default (heaven forbid), the project assets can be sold and the silent investors can recoup some or all of their principal plus any net profits.

In addition, for added security, silent investor partners are commonly placed in First Position for the raw land development project’s assets and revenue. This means that in the event of a developer default, if the project’s assets must be sold, the silent partners will be the first in line to be paid. (Similar to when a bank holds the mortgage or first deed on a home.)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

I. Per industry averages, a professionally managed raw land development project will increase the value of raw land by 2-5 times its original cost. In other words, a professional land developer will typically sell a completed raw land development project for 200-500% more than they paid for it originally as undeveloped, raw land.

II. It is widely held that real estate investment has created more riches than any other form of investments. Taking that one step further: Raw Land Development is the most profitable form of real estate.

III. For these reasons, professionally managed raw land development investment has been the cornerstone for many of the world’s wealthiest investors’ investment portfolios for generations.

Until recently, participation in raw land development projects was restricted to the very rich due to the exorbitant minimum investments required (often $1 Million +).

However, this has changed in the past several years, with some professional land developers dramatically reducing their minimum investment rquirements to allow smaller-scale investors to now participate in these legitimate high yield investments.

“Most people are too busy living their life to realizing that to put life in their living they spend planning their lives.”

Frequently I am asked the question, “What is a good investment to make?” You too may have often asked this question.

Just keep reading and you will soon find out what I’m bullish about when it comes to investing and why.

Unfortunately, when persons ask this question they are usually not prepared to invest. You see in order to invest you must first have money. That’s right you need money to invest and you can only get money to invest by saving a portion of your income every pay for this purpose. If you have no savings, then you can have no investment. You can’t invest what you don’t have.

So the first step in investing is to save some money! Not every now and then, but consistently and systematically. You should save a portion of every pay cheque you get. Here’s a simply formula that I like and that will help you get started. After receiving your pay check why not start setting aside 10% for saving, 10% for investing and 10% for giving (tithes), and then manage your expenses so that they are covered by the reminding 70 percent of your pay. And if you need help, “Taking Control of Your Money” workbook is a great resource to get you started

I know as you read this you are probably feeling that it won’t work for you but even if you have no money, or heavily in debt, it’s important to start now to correct your situation and come up with a plan to cut your expenses and maximize your savings. You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by trying this formula. So why not decide today to take time out and begin to properly managing your money! It’s one of your most important resources.

Secondly, you must realize that investing is risky business. You can lose your money. Therefore, you should only invest from money that you can afford to lose. That is why following the recommended formula is so important, as it separates your savings from your investment funds.

Now that you have some money to invest, let me tell you about aninvestment that I am bullish about. It is a product outside of stocks and mutual funds that allows you to:

Make “risk free”investments by guarantying your Principle. Make money on your money while diversifying your investmentchoices. Get a guaranteed return on your investment. Provide an immediate inheritance for your family Continue to provide for your loved ones even after you die. Create future income with minimal monthly contributions. Guarantees repayment of loans. Make “penalty free” withdrawal of cash. Get low interest loans.

The only investment product that provides all these comforts is a Whole Life Insurance policy. It is an invaluable tool and you should be sure to include it as the foundation of your investment portfolio.

A Whole Life insurance policy has both an insurance component and a savings component called cash values. It provides life insurance protection for your family in the event that you die, but it also accumulates cash value over time which makes it an excellent source of savings and for funding future needs such as making a down payment on a home, paying off a mortgage early, retirement funding, starting a business, or funding your children’s education. You pay one easy monthly premium for the insurance policy, a part of that premium is used to pay for the insurance coverage and the remaining part of the premium goes toward the investment savings. This savings portion of thepolicy is invested in one or more investment vehicles (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.) that the insurance company select and the investments chosen will generally provide a better rate of return than a bank savings account. Also the cash value of your policy is available to you if you need money.

In addition to the protection and savings provided, you can restassured that your premiums will not exceed your returns. In the earlier years, your account will not reflect this, as there are certain items such as reserves that must be established at the onset of a policy. As well as administrative and commission expenses which are higher in the earlier years but in a few years your cash value should begin to grow and with the help of compound interest continues to grow.

I must caution you that all whole life policies do not offer the same rate of returns or low interest rate on loans. That is why reading the free reports:

“The Truth about Life Insurance and Why You Don’t Need “One” and “Your Best Bet for 2008 and Beyond”, are tools that will enhance your understanding.

The more you understand just how valuable a Whole Life Insurance policy could be to your life, the less you will think about delaying its inclusion in your investment plans. You don’t realize it yet but after a few short minutes of reading these report you’ll realize that it’s a good investment to make!

Would you join a safe stock market investment club where you met regularly with friends to have a good time, learn something, and hopefully make some money? If you said yes to that statement, you might want to consider joining, or starting your own, investment club.

An investment club is simply a group of people who share an interest in the stock market pooling their resources into one large investment. Investment clubs are long-term commitments. They are a wonderful way to get to know the stock market, have a good time, and, over time, make some money. But making money should not be the primary reason to join an investment club – since investing is always, even in a shared setting, a risky venture.

Generally, an investment club has between 10 and 40 members, though many seem to settle around 16 as a good number. Decisions on investing are made democratically, either in a one person, one vote fashion; or with weighted votes, where each person`s voting strength is determined by the amount they have invested in the safe stock market investment club. Safe Stock Market Investment Clubs can be partnerships, or corporations, though partnerships are more common. They can meet monthly, or twice monthly. They set up different committees, they research stocks in different ways, they each have their own investment goals.

Investment clubs are as individual as the investors that make them up. What they have in common is a desire to get to know the ins and outs of the stock market. To come together with like-minded people to realize more from your investment capital, over the long-term, and to enjoy yourself while you are doing it.

Enjoyment is a key part of an investment club. If you`re not having fun while you are participating in the safe stock market investment club, it`s probably not the safe stock market investment club for you. And it should go without saying that if you are looking to make a quick profit, an investment club is not the place to be.

Unfortunately, it`s often difficult to join an established investment club. Many of them have been operating for years, even decades, with the same members and they aren`t likely to grow. Which leaves many hopeful club members with the option of starting their own safe stock market investment club. This is a great option, but it should be considered carefully. Make sure that you fully understand what needs to happen for your safe stock market investment club to be successful, and be sure you are starting for the right reasons. Here are a few points you might want to consider:
.
Are you being realistic?
If you`re starting an investment club to make a large profit in the stock market, you`ll likely become very disappointed. The goal of an investment club is to learn more about the stock market, and to have fun. If you have dreams of becoming rich you`ll be starting the safe stock market investment club for the wrong reasons. Remember, joining an investment club means joining for a long period of time.

Are you willing to be an amateur?
Starting an investment club won`t make you an expert in the stock market overnight. In fact, an investment club is ideal for a group of amateurs who want to learn about how the stock market works and what it can do for them. An investment club is a safe environment in which you can invest without the worry of losing a large amount of your hard earned dollars when something unexpected happens.

You can start with a little.
Don`t think that you need a lot of money to start an investment club. You can set a minimal fee for each month`s contribution that will fit into your budget. You can determine what that minimum monthly contribution should be when you have your first meeting of the investment club.

There is strength in numbers.
On your own you may not have enough money to invest in the stock market in a way that will let you realize a reasonable profit. However, when you combine your investment dollars with the dollars of others in the safe stock market investment club you`ll have a significant amount of money to invest in the stocks that you think may be successful. Keep in mind that just as there is strength in numbers there is also a shared sense of security when you`re not investing alone.

Do you like democracy?
One thing that you should keep in mind is that your voice will be part of the larger group and you may not always get your way. If you`re unable to sit back when you`ve been outvoted on a favourite stock, and let another investment choice be made, then an investment club might not be for you.

Can you be satisfied with a learning experience?
You should be prepared to never realize a profit from the stock market. One of the key parts of an investment club is the benefit of studying the stock market with other people with the same interests as yourself. If you never make a penny you should still be happy with your participation as part of an investment group.

Investment clubs are great ways to get to know the stock market in a safe, supportive, and fun environment. Starting your own investment club will make sure that you have a safe stock market investment club that will closely reflect your interests, though there will be compromises in any group setting. Friends, fun, a chance to study something you are keenly interested in, and a chance to make money. An investment club can be the best of all worlds.

The definition of an investment club is simple: a group of people who share an interest in the stock market pooling their resources into one large investment. Defining how an investment club works is more complicated.

In most cases the investment club will be registered as a partnership and the members of the club will make decisions together on what stocks they consider to be a good investment risk.

The majority of the time the investment decisions will be made after some research has been done regarding the stock that is under consideration. This will be discussed at length further in this book.

An important feature of an investment club is that the members are there to have fun as they invest their money and learn about the stock market. Making a profit isn’t the only goal of the club and members are encouraged to have fun as they invest their money.

An investment club isn’t for those people who are looking for a fast way to make some easy money. People who want a quick turn around are discouraged from joining an investment group and investing on their own.

A main feature of the investment group is to start to learn how to invest your money and to invest for a long term rather than a short one.

There are several things that you should keep in mind if you are thinking about starting an investment club or have in interest in joining one that already exists.

Make sure that you understand all the reasons why you should start an investment group and the requirements needed to be successful as a group. The following is a list of important ideas and information that you should consider before starting your club:

Be realistic. If you’re starting an investment club to make a killing in the stock market, you’ll most likely be very disappointed. The goal of an investment club is to learn more about the stock market and if you have dreams of becoming rich you’ll be starting the club for the wrong reasons. Joining an investment club means joining for a long period of time.
Expect to be an amateur. Starting an investment club doesn’t mean that you have to be an expert on the stock market. In fact, an investment club is ideal for a group of amateurs who want to learn about how the stock market works and what it can do for them. An investment club is a safe environment in which you can invest a little bit of money and not worry about losing a large amount of your hard earned dollars when something unexpected happens.
Amount of money to invest. Don’t think that you need a lot of money for investment purposes to start an investment club. The opposite is in fact true: you don’t need to have a lot of money to invest to start an investment club. You can set a minimal fee for each month’s contribution that is fits into your budget. You’ll have the chance to determine what the minimum monthly contribution should be each month when you have your first meeting of the investment club.
Combined investment money. On your own you may not have enough money to invest in the stock market in a way in which you may be able to realize a profit. However, when you combine your investment dollars with the dollars of others in the club you’ll have a significant amount of money to invest in the stocks that you’ve been watching and think may be successful. Keep in mind that just as there is strength in numbers there is also a shared sense of security when you’re not investing alone.
Diplomacy. One thing that you should keep in mind is that your voice will be part of the larger group and you may not always have a say in which stocks you want to invest in. If you’re unable to sit back and let another decision take the place of something that you would rather see, then an investment club might not be for you. You’ll need to have the ability to let the majority rule whenever a decision is made.
Learning experience. You should be prepared to be satisfied to never realize a profit from the stock market. One of the important goals and features of an investment club is that you benefit from the learning experience of being with other people with the same interests in the stock market. If you never make a penny you should still be pleased with your participation as part of an investment group.

Starting your own investment club will be a pleasurable, and perhaps profitable, way to spend time with other people that share the same investment passion that you do.

You’ll be able to learn about the stock market in a safe and secure environment with other people that understand your fascination with the stock market.
