• Financial Planning In and Out of Love (Part 1) - Editor, 15 January 2008 - No Comments yet

The job of a financial planner is only half done without heterosexual marriage counseling! Though the United States is better than Switzerland and some European Union countries in abusing taxation systems to entice free men and women to get and stay married to members of the other sex, the country has made laborious progress in moving towards exclusive individual taxation. There are serious disincentives in cohabiting out of wedlock in the home of the brave, while financial benefits are kept away from homosexual homes. Financial planning must cater to personal preferences, and even heterosexual citizens have to plan in advance to keep the cash drains of their feelings for others under control!

Financial Planning In and Out of Love (Part 1)

Financial Planning Aspects of Relationships

Capital acquisition, gross income, the cash needs of dependents, and prevailing tax legislation are important financial planning matters that deserve expert consultation and careful review. One way is to do this when you are back at work after your annual summer break, so that things are in place before the festive season starts. The other option is to have a great time first, and use the long January nights to agonize over the financial planning aspects of relationships after the partying has died down.

Should owners worry about the origins of stock dividends? Stability of stock value may not always be an expressed imperative, but who makes stock picks without financial planning in mind? Day trading in stocks cannot be equated with classic stock investment. The latter seeks to capture hidden and projected stock value within constraints of capital protection. This is why organic growth in cash flow is generally worth far more to the discerning financial advisor than rumors of mergers, acquisitions, and surrender of stocks to competitors. Regulators do not insist on statutory accounts for inorganic growth moves being segregated, which is primarily why glaring errors by executives in acquisitive stock trading remain hidden.

Corporate Ego as a Destroyer of Stock Value

Why do executives and controlling stock owners prefer inorganic growth? Emotional rather than concrete intelligence seems to rule the roost in Merger and Acquisition stock transactions! The United States started this trend when the Japanese sought to take over. India has been a faithful follower, seeing such racist overtones to rejections of overtures by its corporate darlings that they ask for public apologies when their acquisitive forays are turned down!

Why should ordinary stock investors everywhere envy private equity owners of Lilliputian Systems Incorporated? The reason is that people from all walks of life in our times are constrained by sizes and capacities of the batteries which run our portable electronic devices. It is not just a matter of running out of energy just when a cell phone chat warms up, or when a fanciful game absorbs the child in all of us. Personal digital assistants can save lives, when in the hands of doctors managing casualties, or when used by troops in battle fields. Lithium ion batteries are major improvements over earlier versions of energy packs, but there is plenty of scope for the kinds of improvements that Lilliputian Systems promises.

• Why Retirement Financial Planning Should be a Prime HR Responsibility (Part 1) - Editor, 11 January 2008 - No Comments yet

Investors know that human resources matter for stock value. Why is it that regulators do not have any disclosure norms for how employees are treated? Have you ever bought or sold stock based on a professional appraisal of human resources management? You are fortunate to have done so, because any number of accounting periods may pass before you realize that a corporation, in which you own stocks, is negligent when it comes to looking after employees.
