  In today's new #Goldnomics Podcast, Stephen Flood, CEO of GoldCore and Mark O'Byrne of Health Wealth Gold joins Dave Russell of GoldCore to discuss if it is possible to build the #perfectportfolio for the next 10 years? At GoldCore we believe that every portfolio should have an allocation to gold and silver, the percentage of that allocation should change depending on the current economic, financial, and geopolitical environment. Your portfolio needs to take into consideration the long term megatrends in these elements. But what are the current megatrends that we are seeing emerging and how will it effect your portfolio. #Inflation is a key emerging megatrend that is going to represent a primary risk to all the investors. This is primarily being driven by the astronomical levels of money printing by central banks. This has accelerated in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic which has seen the US National Debt Skyrocket to $28 trillion dollars plus. Continued massive money printing ultimately historically results in currencies being significantly debased and losing their purchasing power. In the face of this pending massive wave of inflation, the traditional method of building your portfolio, where you invest 60% in stocks and 40% in bonds is no longer applicable as it just will not protect you. #Technology The technology revolution continues and is and will continue to drive efficiencies and change the way that we live and work over the next 10 years, but how will that effect your portfolio? #Geopolitics The next megatrend is #geopolitics, and the geopolitical tensions between the US and Soviet Union and China which could develop result in further trade and currency wars. Signs of this can been seen in the form of the Chinese divesting some of their US Treasury holding and a significant increasing their gold holdings. To read our latest blog post on how demand for gold surges in China: https://news.goldcore.com/demand-for-gold-surges-in-china/ But how will these megatrends impact traditional and newer asset classes? Cash The adage that 'Cash is the king' is no longer holds when faced with a wave inflation and a negative interest rate environment. So how do we manage short term liquidity needs? Bonds Bonds underperform in high inflation environments but may also run in to Yield Curve Control (YCC) by Central Banks so how do you create a fixed income aspect to your portfolio.? Stocks Stock markets have undoubtedly been the benefit of Central Bank money printing and have rallied to new all-time highs. Will extreme valuations eventually correct or will they continue to be seen as a better alternative to cash as currency printing continues? Cryptocurrencies Cryptocurrencies are in a raging bull market and see as a much more favourable alternative to cash. But they are disliked by banks and governments. Is there still a role for them in your portfolio and is the risk that legislation will outlaw them just hyperbole? Property Many property markets are looking very frothy at the moment and any liquidity squeeze could expose them as being vulnerable. But how do the perform in an inflationary or hyperinflationary environment and where does the best value and liquidity remain in the global property markets?

Knowing your numbers, understanding what they mean, being clear on how to read your management accounts, and how to use that information to shape your decisions - these are essential, but challenging skills that founders need to master.I met Reza Hooda when we were both panellists on a webinar called 'Cash is King'.  He qualified as a chartered accountant and tax advisor with PwC and then became Managing Partner of Walji & Co chartered accountants in 2008. He has since transformed the small traditional firm on the south coast into a highly successful practice being acknowledged in the 2019 Accounting Excellence Top 5 small firm of the year awards by Accounting Web. Over the last 12 months, Reza has built a virtual coaching and mentoring business for other accounting firm owners to help them build more enjoyable, successful and profitable accounting firms. He has used social media extensively to build his reputation amongst the accountant community where he now has a large following – over 500 accountants in his Facebook group and every month nearly 100 accounting firm owners attend his mentoring sessions. I invited Reza onto the podcast to share his experience of helping entrepreneurs make better use of their management accounts.On the podcast we discuss:The key difference between an entrepreneur and a small business ownerHow your numbers help you look to the future and make decisions (rather than just reflecting on past achievements)How the numbers give you clues to the decisions and behaviour of your team membersHow often founders should be reviewing their management accountsWhy start-ups and scale-ups need to be extra diligentKey measures you need to pay attention to and why these are importantThe three most common challenges his start-up clients gave and the role an accountant plays in dealing with themWhat the most successful business owners have in common and do more than anyone elseThe pricing mistakes you need to avoid, and how to use pricing to drive your business decisions3 essential ingredients to building a high performing teamUseful links:Reza Hooda’s website Reza Hooda’s Facebook page Reza’s book, Transform Your Profits Through Price Reza’s LinkedIn profile Walji & Co YouTube channel

Tune in to hear the behind the scenes TV Q&A with Progressive Property Co-founder, Rob Moore. Listen in and learn all about Mark & Rob’s property journey from their first investment to growing one of the largest property investment companies and education businesses in the UK. If you’re looking to discover more about the traits of the greats and the characteristics of these two Property, business and entrepreneurial experts, this episode is for you.    What was the first property you purchase?  Mark: The first property I bought was a flat in a ski resort in Bulgaria off-plan and I lost 60-70% of the purchase price. After this, I bought a property in Hampton and flipped it when the price was right making roughly 15K but I could have made more had I not purchased a new build. Often the worst looking properties yield the highest returns.  Rob: 26 Eyeroad, and I still own it today. My Dad helped me out with the deposit and when I become financially free I gave it back to them and they still live there today, mortgage-free.    What is your work ethic?  Rob: I have a fear-based work ethic and believe you have to ‘make hay while the sun shines’ because there are always bad times around the corner and you can be blind-sided easily. I want to take advantage and grow while we can and set ourselves up into a position where we can thrive even if we’re not earning  Mark:  My work ethic comes in waves depending on what’s going on. There are times where it can be intensive for long periods of time and my job isn’t the same every day as I’m generally solving problems and issues day by day as they come along. I’ve tried to build most of what I do with an automatic degree of leverage.    What milestone are you most proud of?  Rob: Winning business of the year 2016, breaking the public speaking world records and raising the hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity and each time Mark and I have reached 50, 100, 150 properties or certain levels of income and bringing our letting agency inhouse are nice milestones also. I couldn’t pick one as I believe we still have lots to come.  Mark: For me getting the Guinness world records and publishing our first books with international publisher Hatchet, we’ve also had the Independent, Financial Times and the Guardian write news articles on us. Additionally developing the new bigger building is a great milestone, right now it’s the old Marks & Spencers building where we’re building 99 apartments. Also some of the training programmes we’ve run in the Carribean, the super conference and having guests such as Lord Sugar, Bob Geldof, Grant Cardone etc.     Describe your property portfolio?  Mark: Our portfolio is broken up into different constituents and it depends where you are in the timeline to evaluate it. Our investing timeline is fairly linear so if you look at the terraced houses it’s often the ones we’ve purchased in the beginning and from there multi-lets, HMO’s and houses and subsequently into commercial conversion buildings and the scale has grown over time.   Rob: Our portfolio has been a journey and generally we’ve reacted to the market and jump on opportunities for example with permitted development etc. We’ve always tried to buy property locally and never selling a property as long as it works and we have kept 95% of our portfolio.     What do you do on an average day?  Rob: I get up at about 5 and get all of my important stuff done by 8, I’ll then go to the gym and when I can I’ll come into the office with meetings in the morning. We often travel to do the podcast and I’m also trying to add more fun things in my life. My average day is routined but I like to keep a variety.  Mark: I get up at 7 and crack on at home and often come into the office later but stay until around 6. I’m also away at onsite developments.     What’s the biggest risk you’ve taken in property?  Mark: Property wise it’s probably the commercial development of 99 apartments we’re doing at the moment. GDV is north of 20 million. Usually, when I’m borrowing money it’s first-charge only. There’s times when I’ve been worried about cashflow and liquidity but we like to stockpile cash.  Rob: We haven’t taken too many risks and I’d be embarrassed and ashamed if we went bust and I’m not prepared to do it so we take fewer risks and think long-term.      What are your business plans for next year?  Rob: We’re probably not going to buy a load more property projects but there will always be one block or so a year and in terms of the education business we’ve just merged everything under ‘Progressive’ and I want to grow it more in the coming year and take it to the global stage.     What’s your view on the right-to-buy scheme?  Mark: Right to buy is something that Thatcher brought in and it’s been a good thing with loads of tenants having the opportunity to purchase their property from the council. It’s been great for quite a few people but those that have less financial knowledge have ended up re-mortgaging and their property has been repossessed. Maybe a right-to-buy scheme with enforced financial education would be even better.    What’s your lifestyle like?  Mark: It’s different and varied depending on the time of year but I’ve got a few weekends back which is pretty cool and with 3 or 4 holidays a year it’s great. It’s all about spending time with my son and my wife. I also go to a lot of events and try to do things I’ve not done before.   Rob: I really enjoy writing, creating content, writing books and connecting online.

Tune in to hear the behind the scenes TV Q&A with Progressive Property Co-founder, Rob Moore. Listen in and learn all about Mark & Rob’s property journey from their first investment to growing one of the largest property investment companies and education businesses in the UK. If you’re looking to discover more about the traits of the greats and the characteristics of these two Property, business and entrepreneurial experts, this episode is for you.    What was the first property you purchase?  Mark: The first property I bought was a flat in a ski resort in Bulgaria off-plan and I lost 60-70% of the purchase price. After this, I bought a property in Hampton and flipped it when the price was right making roughly 15K but I could have made more had I not purchased a new build. Often the worst looking properties yield the highest returns.  Rob: 26 Eyeroad, and I still own it today. My Dad helped me out with the deposit and when I become financially free I gave it back to them and they still live there today, mortgage-free.    What is your work ethic?  Rob: I have a fear-based work ethic and believe you have to ‘make hay while the sun shines’ because there are always bad times around the corner and you can be blind-sided easily. I want to take advantage and grow while we can and set ourselves up into a position where we can thrive even if we’re not earning  Mark:  My work ethic comes in waves depending on what’s going on. There are times where it can be intensive for long periods of time and my job isn’t the same every day as I’m generally solving problems and issues day by day as they come along. I’ve tried to build most of what I do with an automatic degree of leverage.    What milestone are you most proud of?  Rob: Winning business of the year 2016, breaking the public speaking world records and raising the hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity and each time Mark and I have reached 50, 100, 150 properties or certain levels of income and bringing our letting agency inhouse are nice milestones also. I couldn’t pick one as I believe we still have lots to come.  Mark: For me getting the Guinness world records and publishing our first books with international publisher Hatchet, we’ve also had the Independent, Financial Times and the Guardian write news articles on us. Additionally developing the new bigger building is a great milestone, right now it’s the old Marks & Spencers building where we’re building 99 apartments. Also some of the training programmes we’ve run in the Carribean, the super conference and having guests such as Lord Sugar, Bob Geldof, Grant Cardone etc.     Describe your property portfolio?  Mark: Our portfolio is broken up into different constituents and it depends where you are in the timeline to evaluate it. Our investing timeline is fairly linear so if you look at the terraced houses it’s often the ones we’ve purchased in the beginning and from there multi-lets, HMO’s and houses and subsequently into commercial conversion buildings and the scale has grown over time.   Rob: Our portfolio has been a journey and generally we’ve reacted to the market and jump on opportunities for example with permitted development etc. We’ve always tried to buy property locally and never selling a property as long as it works and we have kept 95% of our portfolio.     What do you do on an average day?  Rob: I get up at about 5 and get all of my important stuff done by 8, I’ll then go to the gym and when I can I’ll come into the office with meetings in the morning. We often travel to do the podcast and I’m also trying to add more fun things in my life. My average day is routined but I like to keep a variety.  Mark: I get up at 7 and crack on at home and often come into the office later but stay until around 6. I’m also away at onsite developments.     What’s the biggest risk you’ve taken in property?  Mark: Property wise it’s probably the commercial development of 99 apartments we’re doing at the moment. GDV is north of 20 million. Usually, when I’m borrowing money it’s first-charge only. There’s times when I’ve been worried about cashflow and liquidity but we like to stockpile cash.  Rob: We haven’t taken too many risks and I’d be embarrassed and ashamed if we went bust and I’m not prepared to do it so we take fewer risks and think long-term.      What are your business plans for next year?  Rob: We’re probably not going to buy a load more property projects but there will always be one block or so a year and in terms of the education business we’ve just merged everything under ‘Progressive’ and I want to grow it more in the coming year and take it to the global stage.     What’s your view on the right-to-buy scheme?  Mark: Right to buy is something that Thatcher brought in and it’s been a good thing with loads of tenants having the opportunity to purchase their property from the council. It’s been great for quite a few people but those that have less financial knowledge have ended up re-mortgaging and their property has been repossessed. Maybe a right-to-buy scheme with enforced financial education would be even better.    What’s your lifestyle like?  Mark: It’s different and varied depending on the time of year but I’ve got a few weekends back which is pretty cool and with 3 or 4 holidays a year it’s great. It’s all about spending time with my son and my wife. I also go to a lot of events and try to do things I’ve not done before.   Rob: I really enjoy writing, creating content, writing books and connecting online. Golf with my son is also huge we’ve competed at multiple tournaments around the world but work and what I love are pretty much the same.     BEST MOMENTS  “It’s very important to have multiple streams of income”  “In the North, you’ll find lots of properties where the capital value is lower but the rent is no lower so the yield is actually higher.”  “The property I purchased in Bulgaria was an expensive entry fee into property”  “You do this for the money but realise you need to have fun too”    ABOUT THE HOST  Mark Homer is an entrepreneur investor.  He has worked with investment since he was 15 years old using the laws of wealth!

David Ellison, manager of the Hennessy Large-Cap and Small-Cap Financial funds, says we are seeing a unique decline in interest rates because cuts historically were supposed to help out financial institutions, making it easier to make loans, unload bad debts and improve margins. With rates at historic lows, however, cuts aren't really providing financial firms with any help, Ellison says, making the entire sector tougher to read. Also on the show, Richard Howe of Stock Spinoff Investing makes his debut in the Market Call, Andy Provencher of BNY Mellon Investment Management discusses how little average Americans know about fixed-income investing, and Chuck reveals the results of his 'Cash-or-Candy' Halloween. 

Chuck talks about the twist he is putting in place for his annual 'trade or treat' Halloween tradition that lets children choose between money and candy while learning about risk, return, rewards and more every year. He's hoping you will come up with your own twist on cash or candy this year. Also, Ray Baraldi and Richard Flahive of HighTower Advisors discuss real assets' role in a portfolio during volatile times, Terry Jones of Investor's Business Daily covers the latest IBD Investor Optimism Index and Trip Miller of Gullane Capital Partners covers value investing in the Market Call.

John Stewart, talks to Stephanie Christopher about the importance of forecasting your balance sheet. It's about the management of cash more than the management of profit.Everyone knows 'Cash is King' and 'You only run out of cash once'. Most people in business understand these as a statements, however John has found that most business leaders' ability to know where their cash is and their ability to forecast their cash is wanting."You can keep a business alive with poor profit and strong cash flow, however if you have a business with strong profit and poor cash flow your business is at risk."It's about the management of cash more than the management of profit!

If you could reinvent yourself, what would you change? Garner and Bryce talk about it, Garner thinks he'd become a hair plug guy...not a great choice. They also talk about strangers putting lots of trust in you, and play 'Cash in Hand' with The Lumineers.

Rob Dauster was joined by ESPN's Dalen Cuff on Wednesday for a wide-ranging podcast that started with some discussion about changes coming to the Ivy League tournament, ended with some talk about Tyler Herro and touched on everything from Virginia Tech's win to monitor reviews to Fran McCaffery's outbursts in between.

First up on today's news show, the FCA bans BYOD (https://fintechinsidernews.com/posts/D7tDghZ69SqA2xMBN/fca-gold-plates-eu-rule-bans-byod-across-entire-uk-finance) (Bring Your Own Device) across the the entire UK finance sector. Whilst regulation is on the tip of everyone's tongue, cryptocurrencies managed to sneak their way onto the show once more as Kodak launched KODAKcoin (https://fintechinsidernews.com/posts/B2tSHmFbx3YHb6tSX/kodak-stock-is-up-44-after-announcing-it-s-launching-a), boosting stock prices an outrageous 44%.

We discuss what the future of borderless payments could look like and how this brings the company in closer competition with Revolut. Our next story comes from a report written by FleishmanHillard named 'The Fads, The Fears and the Future' (https://fintechinsidernews.com/posts/E5eDSCuzDA3rHXpAu/fintech-in-2018-the-fads-the-fears-and-the-future) which details the most overhyped technologies and trends in 2017. Simon Taylor interviews Claudia Bate the author, where they discuss the report at length including the methodology behind the statistics and upcoming regulation. Our last episode was named 'Tis The Season of Open Banking and the subject just won't go away. The Guardian published an article which asks whether open banking is a 'radical shake-up, or threat to your private data?' (https://fintechinsidernews.com/posts/zh28p8aPstBsJBGdL/open-banking-radical-shake-up-or-a-threat-to-your-private) and our panel explore this at length. Do people know where their data is going? Our panel explore whether or not consumers actually need to know how their data is being used so long as it creates a better product for them. Next, we discuss Brexit's impact (https://fintechinsidernews.com/posts/znFHkNdZZf66RdfXB/brexit-impact-on-venture-capital-investment-into-uk-fintechs) on the Fintech space and whether or not cynics have been proven wrong.

On the brighter side of things, more than £300m of 'forgotten' money (https://fintechinsidernews.com/posts/RvnKnepuqHJ59qrSy/more-than-gbp300m-of-forgotten-money-to-be-stripped-from) is to be stripped from bank accounts and given to charities and people in debt instead. Robin Hood springs to mind and the team details whether or not this is the right way of dealing with the dormant money.

In this edition of the UNICEF Innocenti podcast, we talk to three experts about the 'cash plus' social protection programme for adolescents in Tanzania: Vicky Chuwa, former chief for HIV/AIDs at UNICEF Tanzania, now at UNICEF Botswana; Ulrike Gilbert, current HIV/AIDS chief at UNICEF Tanzania; and Tia Palermo, social policy specialist at UNICEF Innocenti. Adolescents represent the promise and potential of Tanzania's future development. Yet for adolescent boys and girls, transitioning to adulthood means facing significant social, health and economic risks. These include a lack of economic opportunities, early marriage and pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, violence, abuse and exploitation. To support a safe, healthy and productive passage to adulthood, the Tanzania Social Action Fund(TASAF), the Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS), UNICEF and other key stakeholders have come together to develop, implement and evaluate an intervention where social protection and economic empowerment interventions are combined with sexual and reproductive health education and services as part of the Tanzanian Government's cash transfer programme, the Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN). In this podcast we explore how this 'cash plus' social protection programme developed, what's happening on the ground in Tanzania now and where it's going, and why the research component of the programme is so critical.

We've all wondered when cash will end its reign in favour of more efficient and economical digital methods. Regardless if you think we will become cashless or not, a recent survey from CreditCards.com shows where cash is still king - and may be for some time to come.

These days(1) everybody seems to be trying to(2) save money. On the television, we hear about sales, discounts, and 'cash back'(3) on things that we buy. Most receipts now give opportunities to win money, or products. And the shops do the same. Have you noticed generic brands in your local shops? A generic brand is a line of products made for that shop, not a famous brand name. They are always cheaper than other brands. The question is, "Are they good quality, or of the same quality as(4) the brand name products?" Over the past few years, I have shopped almost exclusively(5) at Walmart, and I have got to know(6) some things about generic brands. Great Value is a brand name made for Walmart. The boxes, packets, and bottles(7) of products are simple to look at, and stand out from the rest. In my opinion, the basic products like detergents(8), paper products, and simple house items are worth buying. However, when it comes to eating, the cheaper product often doesn't taste as good. Pastas, bread, dairy products, and canned goods are not quite as good as(9) the brand name ones. I'm fussy about what I eat, and so cheaper ingredients are not always the best option(10). It might be better to spend a few more pennies, to taste good quality food. However, you can always save your money on the non-edible(12) items. 1. 'These days' can be replaced with 'now-a-days'. They are interchangeable. a. These days, we spend a lot of time in the car. b. Now-a-days, people drive a lot. 2. 'Everybody seems to be trying to save money'. Notice there are 3 verbs in a row. This isn't complicated, you just have to decide how you wish to follow 'seems to be'. a. The cat seems to be trying to climb the tree. b. They seems to be walking very fast. c. The clouds seem to be getting dark over the mountains. 3. 'Cash back' is a very common thing over here. When you buy something with a credit card, sometimes, if it is a big purchase, like a car or a computer, you might get 'cash back', meaning a check from your credit card company in a few months or at the end of the year. a. I will get my cash back at the end of the year; I have bought a lot of things, so I should get a big check. b. With the cash back from buying my car, I bought an iPad. 4. '...of the same quality as..' a. That material is of the same quality as the more expensive one. b. That sofa is made of the same leather as the chair. 5. 'Exclusively' means 'only' when excluding other options. It is a great word to practice as, when used correctly, gives the impression of fluency. Ex-clu-sive-ly    ex-clu-sive-ly   ex-clu-sive-ly   ex-clu-sive-ly 6. 'To get to know' is the same as 'to come to know', and 'to become familiar with'. a. When I stayed with my grandmother in the summer, I really got to know her. b. Let's get to know eachother before we go on a date. 7. 'Boxes, packets and bottles' are some of the containers of products. Others are 'cans, jars, tubes, bags, containers and tubs'. a. We need a packet of cookies and a large container of icecream, like a tub. b. I have jars of spaghetti sauce and cans of soup on the shelf. 8. 'Detergent' is the name of a soap that is not used for the body. a. I like the new laundry detergent; all the clothes smell really nice. b. That detergent makes me itchy. 9. '....are not quite as good as..' is an effective use of comparison, but in the negative. a. The second and third films were not quite as good as the first. b. The painting is not quite as colorful as the photo. c. My new gloves are not quite as comfortable as my old ones. 10. 'The best option' could be replaced by 'the best choice', 'the best idea', 'the best decision'. a. I think that the cheaper hotel is the best option. b. He recently broke his leg so I don't think that night skiing is the best option. Join me on FACEBOOK at Anna Fromacupofenglish and practice posting and chatting in English.
