HeLIX Exploration PLC (LSE:HEX) chairman David Minchin joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion following the company's listing on London's AIM market, a significant milestone for the company. Minchin told Proactive that Helix Exploration is engaged in helium exploration in Montana, focusing on the Ingomar Dome, spanning over 16,500 acres. The company boasts a P50 resource estimate of 2.3 billion cubic feet of helium, with potential upside exceeding 6 billion cubic feet. This venture is substantially de-risked by historical drilling evidence of gas across target reservoir horizons. Notably, several formations have shown promising gas presence, setting a solid foundation for drilling activities slated for the third quarter of this year as the company aims for first production by end-2025. Minchin said the Initial Public Offering (IPO) was notably oversubscribed, raising £7.5 million against a target of £3.5 to £5 million, leading to a market capitalisation of approximately £12 million. This capital will finance the drilling and appraisal of a well, alongside an extended flow test. The significant interest is partly attributed to CEO and founder Bo Sears, a renowned figure in helium exploration with over 25 years of experience in the field. HeLIX Exploration aims to leverage the helium market's robust dynamics, highlighted by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% in helium prices over the past decade and high demand from both Chinese importers and US end-users, Minchin said. The company plans to position itself advantageously within this market, particularly benefiting from the US Chips Act, which is expected to boost domestic demand for helium due to increased semiconductor manufacturing. Investors can anticipate several milestones in the near term, including the commencement of a scoping study, drilling activities in Q3, and the initiation of an extended flow test. These efforts are expected to culminate in significant developments towards the construction phase and the enhancement of HeLIX Exploration's project pipeline within the Montana helium fairway. #HelixExploration #HeliumMarket #AIMListing #MontanaHelium #EnergyExploration #IPOSuccess #NaturalGas #InvestmentOpportunity #ResourceEstimation #MarketDynamics #ProactiveInvestors #InsertCompanyName #InsertStockMarket #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

What is adventure and how can we deliver it? These are just two of the topics that Mark Sedgwick and Jeff Marks help us to explore as we talk about adventure and the challenge zone. Mark and Jeff are two of the founders of the newly launched Professional Ski Instructors of Canada (PSIC). The PSIC has delivering “the adventure” at the core of its mission. Mark and Jeff walk through what “the adventure” is and how it relates to our challenge zone.Key TakeawaysInteresting new Organization: Promoting the delivery of the entire experience, free of judgment, promoting development, recognizing that delivering these experiences requires a diverse skill set that includes both hard and soft skills.Components of Adventure: Fun, safe, learning were three key components of adventure for the PSIC. To achieve an adventure, it has to be remembered as being enjoyable either in the moment or later, the experience has to fit inside people's risk tolerance, and people generally want to feel like they have improved in some way.The Challenge Zone: Tis the performance zone you are in when you are excited and can perform well, without being overwhelmed or bored. When we go above your challenge zone, we can become stressed, and our survival instincts can kick in. When we go below our challenge zone, we can become complacent and lose interest. The level of adversity we are exposed to determines where we are operating.Adventure Happens in the Challenge Zone: This is where we are stimulated and can try new things without becoming frustrated. To deliver an adventure we need to create an environment here people can operate in their challenge zone.Guest LinksProfessional Ski Instructors of Canada (PSIC): www.psic.proModel of the Challenge Zone: https://deliveringadventure.com/the-adventure-zone/Guest BioMark Sedgwick is a proud product of the ski industry – skiing is his passion, and he is an obsessed student of the sport.

The CEO of OnlyFans, the company known for hosting a large number of creators who produce adult content, recently stated in a conference with news outlet Axios that they are not seeking funding. In this video, I present an argument against the existence of a business model that primarily focuses on pornography, based on my personal moral values. I hope that the company considers changing the type of content they allow and moves towards a more family-friendly approach with zero adult content, but only time will tell. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amasweekly/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amasweekly/support

Kurzer Absacker nach dem IPO ist durchaus üblich Also besser kann man seinen Börsengang nicht inszenieren als das deutsche Unternehmen Birkenstock, dass diese Woche noch Genaueres über seinen Börsengang in New York bekanntgegeben hat. Da wechselt mal kurz im Barbie-Blockbuster die Protagonistin ihre High Heals gegen Birkenstock-Sandalen. Jesus-Schlapfen haben wir die übrigens noch in meiner Kindheit genannt. Nach Bekanntgabe dauert es in der Regel drei Wochen bis das Unternehmen nach Prüfung durch die Aufsichtsbehörde SEC voraussichtlich am 9. Oktober am Kurszettel erscheint. Zu welchem Preis wird im Vorfeld mit einem Kreis von erlauchten Großinvestoren ausgetestet. Dann wird groß die Werbetrommel gerührt und am Tag des Börsengangs, dem Initial Public Offering IPO steigt dann in der Regel gerade in den ersten Stunden der Kurs der Neuemission kräftig an, hat dann aber einen Durchhänger in den nächsten Tagen um dann weiter abzusacken oder durchzustarten. Bei allem Hype um die Gesundheits-Schlapfen, pardon Hippster-Schuhe Birkenstock und bei allem Getöse um den IPO des europäischen Nvidia-Herausforderers Arm, den Nvidia ja ursprünglich um 40 Milliarden US-Dollar übernehmen wollte: Wenn man beim IPO dabei sein möchte sollte man sich folgende Fragen immer stellen: • Wie lange gibt es den neuen Börsenkandidaten schon? • Welche Gewinne machte das Unternehmen in der Vergangenheit? • Wie schaut es mit den künftigen Umsatz- und Gewinnaussichten aus? • Wie hoch ist der Schuldenstand bzw. die Eigenkapitalquote? • Wer sind die Konkurrenten und wie erfolgreich sind sie? Wie heben sich die Neuzugänge vom Wettbewerb ab? • Ist die Branche wachstumsstark und hat Zukunft? • Mit welcher Bewertung gehen sie an den Start? Schaut Euch schon mal die Preisspanne während der Zeichnungsfrist an und stellt sie den kolportierten Gewinnzahlen gegenüber und vergleicht dies KGV mit jenem der Konkurrenz. • Warum geht man gerade jetzt an die Börse? Braucht man das Geld für die Expansion oder für Investitionen oder nutzt man nur ein Zeitfenster bevor die Börse schwächelt. Vor einem Abschwung gibt es in der Regel immer überproportional viele Börsengänge. Leute, nicht faul sein. Niemand hat gesagt das Anlegen nur Spaß macht und keine Arbeit ist.

Paul Davis joins me today to talk about his unique approach and how it impacts his clients. Paul is an old friend of mine who started his career in accounting.

This allows them to discover many things and could change the business or the trajectory of their career altogether. Paul's professional and clear minded way of explaining this approach will leave you curious about your own life's purpose and how to find your own inner genius. He is confident that everyone's life purpose can and should be found so we can build better relationships, better businesses, and a better world. What We Talked About in This Episode: Paul's background and shift out of accounting The recent realization people have made about their job Making decisions through conscious thought A unique approach to finding unconscious thought and intuition The four elements to your full life purpose Purpose will not change over time Jeff's unique journey to finding his own purpose A pilot's manual What happens when you design your life around your purpose Very few businesses taking this approach Mental fitness vs. mental health Breathing exercises that allow you to respond rather than react Paul's book recommendations About Our Guest: Paul Davis an intuitive mentor, an entrepreneur, a best selling author, an award-winning business growth consultant and international speaker.

In this podcast, Daniel Driscoll, a legal expert in the mining and extractives industry, chats to Africa Legal's Tom Pearson about the state of play among in-house lawyers and what to look forward to at the 2023 General Counsel Forum Mining Indaba. General counsel (GC) are grappling with the legal implications of several macroeconomic challenges facing the mining industry, such as inflation, continued supply chain disruption and uncertainty in global markets. Daniel Driscoll, who will be chairing the upcoming Mining Indaba, spoke to Pearson about how these risks are affecting mining companies, and the types of legal issues that have been keeping GC awake at night in 2022. “We've seen several mining companies either go private or shrink substantially in size, but also companies that were looking at an Initial Public Offering (IPO) have had to delay those plans.” And while the economic downturn has resulted in general job losses, legal departments have been relatively safe because the headwinds facing the mining industry are keeping legal departments busy as they work through the knock-on legal implications. Driscoll then discusses some of the unique Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) challenges faced by mining companies operating in Africa. Mining has a significant impact on the local communities living close to the mine, and these impacts are increasingly being raised as human rights issues, he explains. He says good ESG practices must be woven through the DNA of the organisation and everyone has to be doing their bit. Pearson steers the conversation towards what the modern in-house lawyer wants from their business. According to Driscoll, senior lawyers want an organisation that values quality legal advice and empowers the GC to deliver value for money. Gen Z lawyers are looking for roles that provide the opportunity to grow, coupled with the same aspirations as their seniors. Mental health in the legal industry remains a critically important topic, and Driscoll shares some tips for avoiding burnout and promoting well-being in high-performing legal teams. The conversation concludes with Pearson and Driscoll discussing what can be expected from the upcoming Mining Indaba in Cape Town in early February 2023, which they are eagerly anticipating. At the indaba, there will be a dedicated segment for mining GC to discuss the unique challenges they face, as well as opportunities for networking.

Jaunt Air Mobility is changing the way we commute. No traffic. No congestion. No Noise. That's because Jaunt has developed an electric flying vehicle. Jaunt is the global leader in slowed rotor compound (SRC) technology. Their patented technology slows the rotor once aloft (the rotor tip speed equaling the aircraft's pace) thereby reducing drag and associated vibration. In combination with a small wing sized for cruise, this produces a lift to drag ratio equivalent to a fixed wing airplane providing an exceptionally efficient flight with very low noise. Noise that is practically imperceptible in flight.Jaunt is about to carry out its Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 2023.Get interviewed on the Matt Brown Show: www.mattbrownshow.com

The process leading to a company's Initial Public Offering (IPO) is extremely tedious, as leaders must ensure the company meets financial reporting compliance requirements while also using extensive financial analysis to demonstrate the appeal of the enterprise to potential investors. Many private companies upgrade to a new ERP prior to going public to instill the highest amount of investor confidence in their financial statements; but how can users decipher between their needs and the requirements needed to win over investors? In this episode of The ERP Advisor, Shawn Windle will provide the playbook on utilizing ERP to go public.https://www.erpadvisorsgroup.com866-499-8550LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/erp-advisors-groupTwitter:https://twitter.com/erpadvisorsgrpFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/erpadvisorsInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/erpadvisorsgroupPinterest:https://www.pinterest.com/erpadvisorsgroupMedium:https://medium.com/@erpadvisorsgroup

Incentive Compensation and Sales Performance Management - two key ingredients to scaling a successful B2B SaaS company.  Is Intelligent Revenue the next key ingredient to growth?Chris Cabrera, founder, and CEO of Xactly, built a very successful company by helping companies to automate and optimize those two disciplines. The result was an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 2015 and a $564M acquisition by Vista Equity in 2017...but Chris's and Xactly's story did not stop there and continues to evolve.Currently Xactly is evolving to provide an Intelligent Revenue Platform that enables companies to scale revenue predictably more effectively.Chris defines Intelligent Revenue as the combination of Revenue Planning, Incentive Compensation Management, Pipeline Management, and Revenue ForecastingRevenue Operations and Intelligence is an evolving category still yet to be defined. Why the world is waking up that "siloed" apps are not an efficient or effective way to optimize revenue performance. Moreover, to leverage real intelligence across the entire customer journey requires consistent data across every phase of the journey, and a fragmented revenue technology stack does not provide the core foundation required for Intelligent Revenue.Chris's experience suggests that designing an intelligent revenue plan and incentive compensation model will lead to more predictable and profitable revenue growth. Revenue Intelligence does not start with better forecasting; it begins with using the insights and signals from the past to design the right Go-To-Market structures and plans - ultimately leading to better and more intelligent forecasts.Ninety-seven percent of Xactly's customers opt-in to share their data in an anonymous and aggregated fashion to develop benchmarks enabling the entire Xactly customer community to leverage the shared intelligence to build better revenue plans and incentive compensation programs.Who most benefits from Intelligent Revenue? Revenue Operations, often the combination of Sales Ops, Marketing Ops, and Customer Success Ops, directly benefit by being able to develop better territory plans, design incentive compensation plans that drive the right behavior and now provide more intelligent insights into how current pipeline trends will result in more accurate revenue forecasts.An example that Chris shared was how Revenue Operations can use Intelligent Revenue to design a program to reduce the use of discounting in price negotiations. As an example, incentive compensation plans that pay different rates based upon the "discount" that a sales professional negotiates. One of the traditional barriers to paying this way is the challenge of paying different commission rates based upon discount rates which is a complex, multi-variate calculation challenge - but one that can significantly impact profitable revenue growth.If you are responsible for one of the most common challenges that every company leader faces - delivering profitable revenue growth and consistent revenue forecasts, this conversation with Chris is entertaining, enlightening, and makes for a great listen!

The wait is over! India's biggest ever Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) kicked off for subscription for retail institutional investors today, that is on 4 May. Since it's completely an offer for sale, all the proceedings will directly go to the government which is expecting to raise Rs 21,000 crores by selling a 3.5% stake of LIC, in a bid to replenish the public coffers that have been drained out by the pandemic. But moving on to the pricing details, the price band for this IPO has been set at Rs 902-949 per share for sale of 22.13 crores equity shares. There is also a discount offer of Rs 60 per share for its policyholders and Rs 45 apiece for retail investors and LIC employees. The LIC IPO will close on 9 May and the company will be listed on the stock exchange on 17 May. And the first two hours of the first day of bidding itself saw a pretty decent response with a subscription of around 28 percent by 12 noon. By the time of the recording of this podcast, it was at 58 percent. Expectedly, in the months leading up to this massive IPO listing, there's been a lot of buzz around this listing, partly because LIC which is a state-run insurance company, has been a household name in the country for several decades given that it's the biggest and the oldest insurance company in India. But after some newly listed stocks of companies Zomato, Nykaa and Paytm hit record lows after many weeks of record highs...there's also been a big question among policyholders and investors, and it is: to invest or not to invest? While that is a tricky question to answer, what are the pros and cons of investing? We'll take that question to our guest Prosenjit Datta, former editor of Businessworld and Business Today in the podcast today. We'll also hear from senior journalist Madhavan Narayanan on his take on why the government is going ahead with this IPO listing under volatile market conditions. Tune in!

The Initial Public Offering (IPO) of India's largest life insurer LIC is finally here, albeit at a reduced size. The IPO is a pure offer for sale where the government is selling a 3.5% stake, down from its earlier plan to sell 5%.   It plans to raise Rs 21,000 crore at the upper end of the price range of ₹902-949 per share.           That will still overshadow Paytm's Rs 18,300 crore issue. The IPO price values LIC at around Rs 6 trillion or 1.12 times its embedded value of Rs 5.4 trillion at the end of December.  The embedded value is a measure of future cash flows in life insurance companies and a key financial metric for insurers. When LIC filed the draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), experts had pegged its valuation at two to three times its embedded value, based on the valuation of its domestic private sector peers. However, market volatility due to the Russia-Ukraine war may have changed the dynamics.  Listed private life insurance companies like HDFC Life, SBI Life and ICICI Prudential Life trade between 2.1 to 3.1 times their embedded value. The average market cap to EV ratio of the three is 2.6 times. If we apply the average multiple, LIC's value would be Rs 14 trillion.  The IPO valuation is almost 60% below this level. However, it is in line with the multiples commanded by global peers which are anywhere from 0.21 to 1.89. Analysts highlighted that LIC had a lower Value of New Business (VNB) margin of 9.9% in FY21 compared with private players, who have VNB margins of 22-27% due to higher share of participation and group products. Disinvestment secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey justified the valuation and timing of the IPO at Wednesday's press conference. IPO is the first step of long-term value creation for shareholders, he says. The 3.5% is an optimal size in current market conditions, he said, adding that the valuation flows from optimised positioning, marketing strategy, accessing investors and market window.  While the government said it has decided to go ahead with the IPO in May due to strong market demand and a "solid" anchor investor base, there also might be another reason.  It has time till May 12 to launch the IPO without filing fresh papers with Sebi. If this window is missed, LIC would have to update the offer documents with the latest results and embedded value. The government was previously criticised for under-pricing the October 2019 IPO of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, popularly known as IRCTC. At the top end of the price range, IRCTC fetched a market value of Rs 5,120 crore.   The government divested around 12.5% of its stake in IRCTC during the IPO and sold another 20% in December 2020. Today IRCTC is valued at almost Rs 60,000 crore, an increase of 1070% since the IPO. Does the government risk a repetition of the IRCTC episode? According to Ashish Gumashta, CEO, Julius Baer India, govt is eyeing price discovery for LIC and it can't think of a better defensive bet than this at this time. He believes this size will not disrupt the primary market, and the valuation leaves something on the table for investors. Market strength of LIC and private players vary.  Another expert echoed similar  views. Deven Choksey, Managing Director, KR Choksey Investment Managers says the govt wants investors to come again for FPOs. He believes the valuation is sensible in current situation, but price to EV ratio could have risen to 2 if market conditions were right.  The share price performance of India's current IPO record holder also offers a lesson on what happens when an issue is overpriced. Shares of Paytm, which listed in November last year, are down 73% from their IPO price.  Experts feel that the conservative valuation for LIC at this stage is a sensible approach by the government, which has to consider global and local market conditions, long-term return expectations of retail investors and the nature of LIC's business c

Episode 318: Dan Oshinsky's Innovative Leadership at BuzzFeed, The New Yorker, and Inbox Collective Dan Oshinsky has a knack for being at the right place at the right time, with the right strategy, a theme we began last week about “opportunity timing.” We discuss what it took for him to build capable teams at BuzzFeed and The New Yorker and his aspirations for Inbox Collective, including tips on sending better emails. We resume at BuzzFeed, where Dan built a team that grew online newsletters into one of the biggest traffic referrers, writing over 200 posts that drove over 250M clicks to its site. He knows how to exploit opportunities, bending them towards a positive and focused purpose. You can feel this energy as he applies innovation and creativity to managing people and projects. The definition of an innovative leader. BuzzFeed is an online publication founded by Jonah Perretti in 2006. Dan's first year, he studied their email design and started cultivating a newsletter team of three, then five. By Dan's fifth year of employment, the company spiked in growth from 175 employees to 1500 employees and opened 20 offices worldwide. Last I checked, 24 blogs were trending. Dan gives a unique perspective about his teambuilding exercises that are not really teambuilding exercises. He built the team and passed it on to capable hands as he did after creating Not a Newsletter, a monthly briefing with news, tips, and ideas about how to send better email worth signing up for if you have a blog. To foster trust, he turned ‘his meetings' into ‘their meetings.' You might have noticed BuzzFeed in the news lately. Entrepreneurs under financial pressure can have difficulties fulfilling promises when they take their companies public, which was the case at BuzzFeed. Seventy disgruntled employees could not sell their shares because stock prices dropped after their Initial Public Offering (IPO) in December 2021. This collective group has sued the media outlet for $8.7M.  The New Yorker, on the other hand, was a whole new scary and exciting challenge for Dan. An established, well-respected magazine. Its first publication hit the marketplace on February 17, 1925. It was founded by Harold W. Ross and his wife, Jane Grant, a New York Times reporter. “Ross wanted to create a sophisticated humor magazine—in contrast to the corniness of other humor publications such as Judge, where he had worked.” According to the New World Encyclopedia, the New Yorker publishes reportage, criticism, essays, cartoons, poetry, and fiction. Dan helped The New Yorker magazine with a digital transformation, increasing online subscriptions. The magazine publishes 47 times plus five extra in-depth issues each year. To digitally transform the magazine, Dan directed a team of five journalists and brought Adhoc teams from established work silos within the organization together. The New Yorker Subscription Teams of creative, intelligent, reasonable, hardworking people who happen to be unusually friendly helped make Dan's job as Director of Newsletters easier. A bonus was being around people with an extensive vocabulary. His relational literacy helped them invest in the makeover to increase online subscriptions. “Three years this summer,” Dan says, “Inbox Collective exceeds all expectations.” You will learn of his aspirations and ways of sending better emails. Imagine inviting email subscribers into your living room; that is how personal email is to us. Our conversation is also filled with pearls of insight into fostering resilient teams: trust, respect, security, and connection. The four underpinnings of healthy relating that requires constant attention. DOWNLOAD Dan was so inspired by our conversation that he wrote this blog post!

Because it's a different type of passion. It's an inner passion, and the love and the joy what Napoleon Hill referred to, it's that burning desire within yourself to make a difference.The secret of success is knowing your true life purpose. Valuable Free Resource or ActionThere is a community and free ebook at https://paulwilliamdavis.com/TranscriptNote, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Stuart Webb 0:40 I'm here today with Paul Davis. Paul is an ultra popular business advisor, you get a massive amount of experience huge amount of experience. As an intuitive personal advisor, bestselling author, award winning business growth consultant speaker, and he he says that his clients regularly refer to him as a game changer when it comes to the insights that he shares with them, and results they achieve. So I'm rather hoping we're going to get some of that today as we have our discussion. It's a cup of coffee. Paul, I hope you're there with your cup of coffee major here. Welcome to the podcast, Paul. Good, good, good to be here. That's really embarrassing when you read that stuff. You too muddy? So let's just start with with with the obvious first question. So who is your ideal client? what's the what's the the biggest challenge that they face?Paul Davies 11:22 Sure. Okay. So my ideal clients or their business owners, the vast majority of my clients will be in professional services. But I've worked with a lot of executives, CEOs, C suite individuals, celebrities, and people that we well known as well in the marketplace, and, and work with them from in a number of different aspects. But typically, what they do for comment to me, they're typically in space, that they're looking for a bit of clarity, they're looking for a direction for life. So people will, for some of them, people will perceive as being hugely successful, that they have everything that you know that either the business is going well, or that they have everything that people perceive that people should have less that way. And so people do see them as being successful. but inwardly they're saying, Do you watch, I, you know, the business is going well, but I'm not actually, I'm not getting anything from myself. And so they're looking for a bit of clarity, looking for direction, they will regularly use terms along the lines of I feel like I'm just on the hamster wheel on a treadmill. And I'm just going from day to day, and just not getting any fulfillment, I'm going to crossroads, I there's no purpose, there's no meaning in my life. And so inwardly, they will be quite sad or unhappy. That's for that way. And they're searching for more meaning and more purpose in their life.Stuart Webb 12:46 common to many people, isn't it? Paul, you don't have to be famous to feel that you're not getting whatPaul Davies 12:50 it felt absolutely not, though, that it touches every, every every walk of life and every individual to be honest.Stuart Webb 12:57 Yeah. So one of the common mistake people make when we try to solve that problem without without getting help from somebody like yourself.Paul Davies 13:04 And it's, well, it's something that somebody is not going to discuss with anybody else. For the vast majority of my clients, they, they have to hold on to their persona, in terms of so the run under business order, they're very senior individual, and therefore they've got employees, they've got a team and all that kind of thing. So therefore, if they were to let their guards down, that has a huge impact on them. And it has a potential to for one bad word to their fear is that it could ruin their life, it could render business, it could ruin everything that they're seeing as being both in their family, their society, their team members, and so on. So a lot of them won't seek out help from the perspective of they don't know where to go to be quite honest. They don't fall into the category of well, I should go to a therapist or should go to the counselor or like, it's not really that it's kind of it's just just constant search for what's going to give me meaning or fulfillment. So what a lot of people do is they they go and search online, and then they do watch pretty much the vast majority of people out there do to try and find purpose and meaning. And what they find is that, you know, they'll come across things along the lines of, you know, if you take Victor Frankel's book, Viktor Frankl was was the person that survived the concentration camp during the war. And he wrote a book Man's Search for Meaning. And so if you read the book, you'll understand so you know what perfect, Frankel says, you know, the meaning of life is the meaning you give it. But it still doesn't answer the question for the individual. Because literally, really what you could say is well, okay, you could give meaning to anything. And it's the meaning that you give something that gives you meaning, but that's it doesn't answer the question doesn't solve the problem. And then other things that you find online, or people that are books or people that they read or training courses, for example, they'll say, Well, you know, you got to find your passion. If you find your passion, then that's your purpose, and turn that into Your purpose turns out into your business and so on. But it's actually not that that's actually incorrect. Because what I've discovered is that passion follows purpose. But what I mean by that is like, I'm passionate about a lot of different things. I love red wine. I love horse riding, I love everything that's to do with life related. And we've seen recently, just just in last weekend, in terms of Richard Branson going into outer space, yeah, I would absolutely be number one on on that ticket. And so they're my passion is, that's what I love. But it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my purpose. So when people try and find their passion, in order to find a purpose, is actually the wrong way around. When you're on your purpose, and you're doing work that's in line with your purpose, well, then that's when your passion increases and increases exponentially. Because it's a different type of passion. It's an inner passion, and the love and the joy what Napoleon Hill referred to, it's that burning desire within yourself to make a difference. So it's, it's, it's, that's what's actually drives passion. And then we would have heard terms in relation to, you know, find your why. And if you find this, why,Stuart Webb 16:04 exactly what I was just thinking, Paul, I'm fairly sure that you were going to bring that out.Paul Davies 16:08 It's, it's not because then again, lymphokines way you can apply of why to anything. But you got to know your purpose first, before you can apply your why. So people try and see and here's the here's the biggest mistake discharge, people try and find out why but they're consciously thinking, to work out what your why is. And as business consultant, I've come across this so many times in terms of, because we've heard so many other business coaches or mentors or trainers, not offended and talk about finding your voice. But they're talking about from a conscious perspective, your why your true why what I call your genius inspiration that comes from your unconscious. So you'll never be able to find it, I bring my clients sure way of how to find it from your unconscious, because you got to look for the evidence. But trying to work it out consciously is never going to give it but the thing is, you need to know your purpose first meaning you got to know your what your mission is. And when you know, your mission, which is your purpose, though is to wash your to do well then now to fly, make the mud, the wind makes sense to what your mission is. So that's that there's some of the mistakes that people find. But honestly, it's it's what's out there. And I'm very, very unique and in want to do very, very unique and how we do it as well. And Bush, it that's the information that's out there online and books and articles things. And unfortunately, it brings a lot of people down a lot of cul de sacs and they still end up having that sense of, it's still not giving me what I want. It's still not telling me what I need to do in this life. What What am I supposed to do? What's the direction supposed to go in? So that's typically what you find.Stuart Webb 17:45 It's great resource, the internet is net, but it doesn't actually help you discover some of those things. Because there is so much out there, you still get that guy to help you move in the right direction to discover what you're trying to try and try to pull that has been hugely insightful. What's the valuable free, action valuable free resource that you'd leave with the audience today to sort of get them to sort of start that journey themselves?Paul Davies 18:10 Yeah, absolutely, that there's two things that the audience can can gain access to. One is if I'm building a community of purpose driven business owners, so these are business owners that wants to, there's two for one bad word, two communities within one community. There's the community that are business owners that want to find out their budget purposes, and they want to develop more personal mastery skills. So if people go to the executive coach calm, and they find out enough, a lot more information that you can go to my website, and there's a link on the website. But the executive coach comm would bring them to the actual community itself. And then also within the community is people that I've helped him to find what their purpose is, I'm bringing through a particular methodology, you could call the pilots manual. And when when they go through the pilots manual, now they know exactly what their purpose is. And they offer those groups of people now what we're doing is we're building and scaling a business around what's our purposes. So it's a proper purpose driven business, if you follow what I mean. And that's one free resource. It's, it's freely available to join. It's not on any social media, which is absolutely perfect for my audience. And I personally don't like social media, a lot of my business owners and clients don't like social media, either. So I've actually built the community on a standalone profit platform, completely off social media. And also if people go to my website, if you go to Paul, William Davis, calm, there's a free ebook that I have on there. And that's I taught all of it, what's the meaning of life? And how to how do you actually find your life purpose? And so I debunk a lot of myths that are out there. And like what I've just said around relation to finding your why and so on. So I talk a little bit more about those in the book itself. But then I also give you the the structure of how do you actually find your true purpose and so Both freely available to your listeners. Great.Stuart Webb 20:03 Thank you. Thank you. So what's that concept or book or program that's been most impactful in your experience?Paul Davies 20:10 I've had a lot of time with this question before I came on the interview Stewart, and there is so many books and people that have come across over the years I've worked with, I've worked with amazing geniuses out there. And they've all be phenomenal. They've all made a huge, huge impact. But what I went back to was false. The starting point on one of my journeys, as we're going through, and the book that came up was the power of the subconscious mind, which is by Dr. Joseph Murphy. And that, for me was kind of an insight is that Oh, my god detector is much, much bigger here. And so that was, as well as the light bulb moment for pandas reading that book.Stuart Webb 20:47 Yeah, yeah, it's interesting. One of the most beneficial concepts that I came across very early in my career was that johari window, which is a very simple thing to talk about, which is, you know, how much of what our behavior, our our understanding of myself is still buried beneath the surface that we ourselves are not even aware of. So I agree with you that that sort of concept is an incredibly powerful, it's something you must understand that otherwise, you never get to understand the way in which you behave. Other people understand you anyway. Absolutely. Yeah. So it's been a fascinating discussion. But I guess there's one question that I should have asked you, which I haven't. So I'm now going to ask you to pose that question. And please, the answer to that question. Otherwise, that will make people sitting there unfulfilled with a lack of action? IUnknown Speaker 21:33 don't know whether I'll give you the answer, though. That's the only thing. The only question you should have asked is, what's the secret to success?Unknown Speaker 21:42 Actually, in my view, the secret of success is knowing your true life purpose. I don't mean your true life purpose, which comes from your unconscious. And so it's not something you create, literally, it's guided from your unconscious. So when you know your true life purpose, that's the single most powerful way for you to enable to you to actually reach your full potential.Unknown Speaker 22:01 Well, that's been an incredibly insightful interview.

Money begets money, and early stage investment opportunities are generally reserved for accredited high net worth individuals, defined as those with a net worth of at least $1 million or those who have earned $250,000 consistently for two years or more. It is not uncommon for these folks to get in early, pre-IPO, on some of the world's most successful public company stocks from Facebook to Apple, garnering a 10.4 million% return on their initial investment. In addition to pre-IPO investing, those who get in on an initial public offering (IPO) before the general population can buy in, can also earn as much as a 770% return on their investment. In this episode of Minority Business Access, host Solomon RC Ali explains tried and true methods for identifying and investing in businesses before they go public, and how high net worth individuals learn about the market's most promising investment opportunities before the general public is ever tipped off. With the information provided in this episode of Minority Business Access, you don't have to be a millionaire or Wall Street insider to learn how to get in early, either before a company's Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the stock exchange, or at entry level stock prices, before the herd rushes in, where the lion's share of the money is made. You'll want to take notes for this one and share with a friend!

Gains in banking and auto counters following superior Q4 results and vaccine optimism buoyed domestic global markets for the third day in a row on Wednesday ahead of the US Fed policy outcome later today. The BSE flagship index Sensex ignored a weak set of global cues and risks arising from Covid-19's second wave to surge 790 points to 49,734. ICICI Bank, HDFC twins, Bajaj Finance, Kotak Bank and SBI were the key index contributors. Meanwhile, NSE Nifty settled the day at 14,865, up 212 points with 35 constituents in the green and 15 in the red. In the 30-pack Sensex, Bajaj Finance emerged the best performer as it rose 8.3% to Rs 5,279 following a 42% jump in consolidated net profit at Rs 1,347 crore during the fourth quarter of FY21. It was trailed by IndusInd Bank, Bajaj Finserv, ICICI Bank and Kotak Bank that gained in the range of 3-5%. On the flip side, Nestle India, HCL Tech, L&T, TCS and DRL were among the top losers. The broader markets also settled in the green although underperformed the benchmark. Nifty Midcap 100 index added 1.11% while the Nifty Smallcap 100 index gained 0.64%. In the sectoral space, Nifty Realty, Nifty Pharma and Nifty Metals turned out to be the day's losers. Bank Nifty with a gain of 3.02% was the best gainer ahead of the expiry of F&O contracts. It was trailed by Nifty Private Bank, Nifty Financial Services and Nifty PSU Bank indices which gained between 2.5-3%. In stock-specific moves, shares of TVS Motor Company rallied 14.06% to settle at Rs 645.90 on the BSE after the company's Q4 numbers beat analysts' estimates. The scrip touched intra-day high of Rs 661.10, its 52-week high. Shares of Anupam Rasayan also hit a 52-week high of Rs 666 in intra-day session today after it bagged an order worth Rs 1,100 crore from a multinational life sciences firm. The scrip finally settled the day at Rs 640.10, up 1.82%. SBI jumped 2.95% after the bank's board approved raising $2 billion through a public offer or private placement. Shares of Hindustan Unilever and Bajaj Auto ended the day 1.07% and 2.76% higher, respectively, ahead of their March quarter results tomorrow. That apart, Zomato filed a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Sebi to raise Rs 8,250 crore through its Initial Public Offering (IPO). The IPO offer includes a fresh issue by the company worth Rs 7,500 crore, and an offer for sale by the selling shareholder Info Edge. Meanwhile, in other news. As the Covid pandemic continued to rage havoc in the country, many economists flagged risks from the same to India's economic recovery. For instance, S&P Global, which has a long-term credit rating of 'BBB-' on India, just one notch above junk, said it may have to revise its base-case assumption of 11% growth over fiscal 2021/2022 if wider containment measures to contain Covid are re-imposed. The rating agency believes the Covid outbreak poses downside risks to GDP and heightens the possibility of business disruptions. In a recent note, those at IHS Markit suggest that they expect the Indian economy (as measured by GDP) to grow at 9.6 per cent in FY22. Maharashtra’s lockdown, it said, represents a significant dampener on growth, as the state accounts for 16 per cent of the national GDP. Lastly, an update on the global markets. World shares cosied up close to record highs and the dollar and global bond yields nudged up on Wednesday, as traders waited to see if the U.S. Federal Reserve utters the dreaded ‘T’ word later - tapering of its mass stimulus programme. Japan's Nikkei ended 0.2 per cent up, South Korea's Kospi declined 1 per cent, and Australia's S&P/ASX200 index gained 0.44 per cent. European stocks were little changed amid a busy earnings-reporting day. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index was flat. Futures on the S&P 500 Index advanced 0.1%, indicating a flat-to-positive start for Wall Street later in the day.

Both Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and Initial Public Offering (IPO) machines raise your business funds. So, where do they differ? Well-established companies raise funds using IPOs, whereas new young startups use ICOs for fundraising.

Are you one of the winners of the InvestED 300th podcast episode giveaway? Listen to this podcast to find out!  Investing in stocks is one of the best things you can do to set yourself up financially, but you have to first understand the company valuation process in order to actually make money. When a company decides to go public, an investment bank helps determine what the price of the company’s stock should be at their Initial Public Offering (IPO), when they become available to purchase on the stock exchange. They determine the initial price based on the value of the company and early interest from investors before the stock is available to the public.  After the company goes public, the stock price is based on supply and demand. When the demand for a stock goes up, its price goes up. The demand can increase if the company is doing extremely well and its value is increasing, or it can increase simply because of excitement from other investors.  It’s important to remember to not get the “value of the company” confused with the “price of the stock.” The market can be incredibly emotional and price a great company way under their true value and vice versa. Ultimately, the stock price is determined by greed when the stock price is going up and fear when the stock price is going down. This is why it’s important to invest with certainty within your circle of competence. Love what you own, and put your money where your values are. Most of us have the intention to make the world a better place, but seem to forget that the businesses that they invest in have a direct impact on what is going to exist in the world in 10-20 years. In today’s podcast, Phil and Danielle announce the winners of the InvestED 300th podcast episode giveaway and discuss rational investing in 2021.

The recent Initial Public Offering (IPO) market has been red hot, with valuations stretching the imagination. Are the good times here to stay? Can companies like Airbnb, DoorDash, and Snowflake grow fast enough to command these prices? Or is it déjà vu all over again, as in the dot.com bubble?

What does it meant for a company to IPO? Is it good to get into a company when it goes public? DoorDash $DASH and Air BNB $ABNB just went public, aka Initial Public Offering (IPO)! That means you can now own part of the companies that you use to order food and stay. Keep in mind that $DASH is the ticker to DOORDASH because a garage door company gained a lot of movement today due to people picking the wrong stock to invest in on Wednesday. Should you buy IPOs? It's really up to you! I would suggest to wait about a week or two to let the "hype" around the company drop a bit. Depending on who you talk to, some would say just buy it and let it ride. Warren Buffet is a huge advocate of learning a company before investing in it. If you truly understand the Door Dash and/or Air BNB then go for it!

Transparency, liquidity, and listed real estate I had a fascinating discussion with Richard Croft, Co-Founder and Chairman of leading investment group, M7 and David Delaney, CEO of new property stock exchange IPSX about their first single real estate asset Initial Public Offering (IPO). Richard and David have exceptional credentials in real estate and finance, with years of experience, and billions of transactions under their belts. Richard is the Executive Chairman and co-founder of the M7 Real Estate group, and has been involved in over €8 billion of transactions across the UK and Europe during his 26 year career in real estate, founded and sold a European real estate fund management business, and is a Non-Executive Director of IPSX. David is IPSX's Group CEO. His previous experience includes managing $1bn book of business at Thomson Reuters as Head of Strategic Clients and Solutions, and 25 years at Credit Suisse (where he became Head of Fixed Income Sales for interest rate products) and Barclays Bank. Richard and David share a deep frustration with the issues that prevent investors from selecting and investing in assets for themselves, the lack of transparency in the listed real estate market, and the lack of liquidity available for many real estate assets. Their current mission is to solve these issues, through an unprecedented single asset listing of Mailbox REIT on IPSX. So, will it work? Highlights of the episode include: What liquidity is really worth to investors The high perceived risk of anything new The problems investors face with open-ended and closed-ended real estate funds Whether investors really value choice and democracy in investing Resources: Guest websites: www.themailboxreit.com / www.ipsx.com / www.m7re.eu Anna's website: www.annaclareharper.com & www.spi.capital Anna's LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaclareharper/

This week the presidential debate was in Nashville, TN at Belmont University's campus. The debate went over various topics ranging from Healthcare to Social Justice Reform to Vaccine updates. Remdesivir today have become the first drug approved by the FDA to treat COVID-19. The medicine is created by a company name Gilead Sciences and is the same medicine that President Trump took when he had fallen ill. Today Moderna also announced that they have completed there 30,000 person open enrollment for the vaccine trials. Mcafee today had an Initial Public Offering (IPO) for the second time in the companies history.

One of the most common windfalls of wealth can come from employee equity compensation. Often, this happens when you’ve worked at a private company that experiences an Initial Public Offering (IPO), and the share price appreciates dramatically once it enters the publically traded market. However, you can also experience a windfall with a publically traded stock that experiences a dramatic rise causing your stock options (or equity position) to represent a large portion of your investment assets. You can analyze many factors in whether or not to diversify your stock position. I’ll be primarily discussing incentive stock options (ISOs), but many factors for determining diversifying can apply to any concentrated stock position. The overall message you should remind yourself is that “concentration builds wealth and diversification maintains wealth.” The decision to diversify should be based on your long term financial plan. Let’s discuss it!

In this episode you will learn: Orni's background and how he came to co-found Gefen Technologies What Gefen's SaaS product does and the problem it is solving Orni's management philosophy and how he approaches leading Gefen Gefen's growth story to date and why it decided now was the right time to IPO Why Gefen chose to list on the ASX How COVID affected the IPO process What were some of the biggest learnings during the IPO process For more information on Gefen, head to their website here. ------------------- Have you just started your investing journey?

In this podcast I will answer the question: Are Initial Public Offerings (IPO) a good investment? An IPO is the first time a company sells its stock to the public on a stock exchange. An Initial Public Offering (IPO) is the first time a company sells its stock to the public on a stock exchange. Besides being the first chance to own a cutting edge company, it can be exciting because there can be large price swings IPOs generate and can involve leading-edge companies. They can also be profitable for the issuing companies, investment banks and skilled traders. Long-term investors may not fare as well. IPOs are often issued by smaller, younger companies seeking the capital to expand, but can also be done by large privately owned companies looking to become publicly traded. In an IPO, the issuer obtains the assistance of an underwriting firm, which helps it determine what type of security to issue (common or preferred), the best offering price and the time to bring it to market. Here are the ten largest internet-related IPO's, how they have performed through March 6, 2015. Alibaba (BABA) was the largest US-listed initial public offering (IPO) raising $25 billion. Alibaba offers access to Chinese manufacturing. Small companies and individuals can have products produced inexpensively. It opened in September 2014 at $94/share. The value on March 6, 2015 was $84/share a 10% loss. The S&P 500 over that same period of time is up 3%. (underperformed S&P) The Facebook (FB) social network company was initially offered at $38/share and in September, 2012 is trading for $80/share, up 110%.  The S&P 500 over that same period of time is up 60%. The firm raised approximately $16 billion with the IPO. (outperformed S&P) The Twitter (TWTR) IPO was offered in November, 2013 at $45/share. Twitter raised $1.8 billion, just surpassing Google and JD.com. In March, 2015, the value was $47/shares, a 4% increase. Over the same time period, the S&P 500 was up 19%. Twitter is a social media site allowing people to broadcast short comments. (underperformed S&P) JD.com (JD), the Chinese online realtor, raised $1.8 billion from its IPO. JD.com was priced at $21/share and in March, 2015 was $29/share, a 37% gain. The S&P gained 9% over that same period. (outperformed S&P) Google Inc. (GOOG) IPO raised $1.7 billon on August 18, 2004. GOOG famously set its IPO price through a “Dutch auction” in which interested investors placed bids at the price they were willing to pay. GOOG has increased over 1023%, far outpacing the S&P 500's rise of 86%. The popular search engine has expanded its services to become the dominant internet content and advertising company. (outperformed S&P) Yandex NV (YNDX) IPO raised $1.3 billion on May 23, 2011. YNDX has declined 56% from its offering price to March, 2015. The S&P 500 was up 56% for the period. YNDX, the prominent Russian search engine, has fared better than RENN, the Chinese firm that debuted in the same month. (underperformed S&P) Infonet Services Corp., IPO on December 15, 1999, $1.1 billion raised. The data communications service provider was bought by British Telecom (BT) for $965 million in 2005, 4% less than was raised; the S&P 500 was also down 4% for the period. (performed the same as the S&P) Shanda Games Ltd. (GAME), IPO on September 24, 2009, $1.04 billion raised. GAME has a total drop of 46%. The S&P 500 was up 99% during this period. (underperformed S&P) Zynga Inc. (ZNGA) had an IPO on December 15, 2011 that raised $1 billion. ZNGA, which offers its online games primarily through Facebook, has dropped 72% since its opening, while the S&P 500 was up 70%. It is not clear whether ZNGA can maintain the popularity of its early games. (underperformed S&P) Giant Interactive Group Inc. (GA), IPO on October 31, 2007, $887 million raised. In 2014, GA returned to private ownership. It had dropped 38% during this period, which the S&P 500 was up 36% during the same period.

Exchanges are the digital marketplaces where trading of securities occurs. They’re one of the most important parts of the financial system! What kind of securities are we talking about? There could be securities that already exist and are “listed” for trading on the exchange. Or they could be new securities, like an Initial Public Offering (IPO), where a company is being listed for the first time.

China's second largest online retailer JD.com has raised almost $4bn (£3.2bn) after making its Hong Kong Stock Exchange debut on Thursday. Its shares jumped by more than 5% after listing, marking the second-largest share sale this year. The move comes as pressure grows in the US on Chinese companies amid escalating tensions between the two economies. Several other firms that are based in China are now preparing similar listings in Hong Kong. The Initial Public Offering (IPO) coincides with JD.com's largest annual online sales event and comes hot on the heels of the Hong Kong debut of Nasdaq-listed gaming giant NetEase.

IPOs get the big press.   Mergers & Acquisitions are usually private transactions.  Startup Founders and their investors plan for an 'exit' that sometimes may be an Initial Public Offering - IPO - but usually the most likely exit happens much sooner than an IPO, when the company gets acquired by a fund or another bigger company.   Listen to this episode of the Compassionate Capitalist Podcast show to host Karen Rands, and guest Ted Bender, discuss the differences in types of acquisitions:  horizontal, vertical, consolidation, strategic, market expansion, roll-up and  how they might pursued as an exit strategy.  Most acquisitions are calculated as a multiple on EBITDA.  For startups and early stage companies, sometimes there is a intangible factor such as the strategic value of tech or customer set that isn't measured by profit.   And then there is 'timing'... when do you sell and does there come a time of diminishing return?  Ted Bender is an expert in the M&A space, founding Croft & Bender, a highly regarded Investment Bank, with 3 private equity funds that invested in more than forty companies across various industries and growth stages. Currently Ted owns & operates TJ Bender & Company, which provides M&A, capital raising, and strategic advisory services to businesses, family offices, and private equity firms.

Florida-based broker Baldwin Risk Partners (BRP) has come a long way since it was formed less than 10 years ago in Tampa, Fla., and that was more clear than ever on Oct. 24 when its leadership team rang the Nasdaq opening bell with more than 100 members of the company in attendance at the New York Stock Exchange for BRP’s Initial Public Offering (IPO). In this interview with BRP’s President and CEO Trevor Baldwin, he discusses what the IPO means for the company and its future now that it is a public company.

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (shown), known as MBS, just relieved his energy minister, Khalid al-Falih, of his duties concerning the Initial Public Offering (IPO) of his country’s primary asset, ARAMCO (officially, the Saudi Arabian Oil Company). Plans for that offering, first announced in 2018, were to raise $100 billion for the country’s sovereign wealth fund so it could invest the funds to diversify the economy away from its dependence upon oil revenues and bring it into the 21st century.

Although one of the charms of our podcast is that Arne and Chander have different perspectives on almost everything, today both of us share the view that WeWork (officially, The We Company) is overvalued and its governance practices are questionable. Last week, WeWork filed its S1 with the SEC for its Initial Public Offering (IPO). In this podcast episode, we analyze WeWork's business model, valuation, and business practices. We also discuss why companies pivot, how to do it, and what are the challenges related to pivoting. Please join us for a friends of Valley Nordic gathering in Oslo on September 4th evening.

I’ve made a pretty good comparison in my opinion between signing a record deal , and a privately owned company going public (IPO) both are literally the same exact concept. Initial Public Offering (IPO) in retard terms , basically means that a small business has been so successful, their company has decided joined the stock market , allowing investors from around the globe to by shares (piece of a company) inevitably losing a large portion of ownership and operational power.

When Jeff Mose earned his insurance license and became a financial advisor in 2002, some might have seen it as a somewhat radical career change. In truth, however, Jeff’s extensive and accomplished background in the fields of communication, education and entrepreneurship served as the perfect foundation from which to launch a career in financial services.  Today, Jeff draws upon his impressive past to provide a uniquely high level of expertise and client service. With a focus on proactive communication and education, Jeff teaches clients how to take ownership of their personal finances and confidently build toward a secure financial future.  Having successfully managed and grown businesses in the midst of all the market turmoil and economic challenges of the past 30 years, Jeff has a unique insight into the financial tools and strategies that work best in varying market conditions. He knows first-hand the importance of “financial defense,” and teaches clients how to grow their money using conservative, “bird-in-the-hand” strategies designed to also protect their portfolios from potentially devastating losses. A Maryland native, Jeff got his start in business with a part-time job in a sporting goods store while still in high school. He served in the U.S. Navy and Reserves near the end of the Vietnam War, and afterward went into sales and marketing for an upstart company called Nike. While studying mass communication at Townson State University, Jeff worked behind the scenes and as on-air talent for Maryland Public Television. From there, he moved to the executive offices as a fundraising developer. Returning to Maryland, Jeff worked as Development Director for Baltimore-based WJHU-FM, and his success there led him to similar positions with the Maryland Chapter of the American Lung Association and the historic ship, Pride of Baltimore II.  Then, recognizing that the Internet was poised for explosive growth, Jeff used his skills to become the marketing and communications manager for start-up Aether Systems, one of the first software developers for web-based handheld devices to track financial data. In 1995, Jeff helped prepare the company for its Initial Public Offering (IPO) and contributed to its eventual growth into a $12.8 billion company. After leaving Aether, Jeff co-founded the data-security company KoolSpan, Inc., and helped oversee its growth until leaving to pursue his career in financial services.  In 2009, Jeff opened his own company, adopting a unique business model geared primarily toward retirees and near-retirees and focusing on conservative financial strategies designed to provide reasonable growth, dependable lifelong income and protection from damaging losses.  Jeff has been quoted in USA Today and the Wall Street Journal, as well as featured on the cover of Senior Market Advisor.   Questions Answered:    1) It appears that there’s more than one type of annuity. If I’m correct, what are the different types of annuities?   2) With all these good reasons to love annuities, why don’t more people buy them? Studies show that just .25% of the IRA market are in annuities.   3) Pensions are the monthly paycheck for most of America’s current retirees. But that’s changing as the secure income offered by pensions is no longer being offered to the majority of today’s workers. They now have a 401k or similar retirement plans. Can these plans be counted on for a guaranteed paycheck or is that something an annuity can provide?   Grow the value of your business by 71%!
