Many are making plans easier but does not even make what can realized. Therefore imperative for us to make careful planning, detailed, comprehensive, covering many or even all relevant factors.

According to Gill Ringland, author of Scenario Planning (John Wiley, 1997) that scenario planning is used to improve or sharpen decision to make an impact at this time in the future. How many scenarios should be created? As much as possible that we can think with the possibility that will happen. However, in practice, later, of the many scenarios that will crystallize into a single compiled the most clear of scenario occurs most high probability level with some analysis and considerations that accompany it.

Scenario planning starts with the macro and the micro-conical. Drawn from outside to inside, it’s not vice versa. Ideally be made scenario before making a forecast, so the team that made the forecast does not already made plans already too far with these assumptions are actually different from the scenario drawn up. If possible, the team that made the scenario is not the same team that made the forecast, in order to counter each other in order to sharpen, not to argue and remain in the difference.

Risk & Return on Your Investment

Risk & Return is always adjacent to and directly proportional or equal. When the target investment returns rise, the risk of our investments will also go up. Or when there is a product that offers a return on investment is high enough, then certainly the product contains the risk of “hidden” that maybe we do not understand or know. Although this is often touted, but still people who wonder about a product or even an investment scheme. The phenomenon is then made many rational people when faced with an offer troubled investment products that promise a very high yield. Being rich is a dream of all people, let alone get rich quickly. Unfortunately it will never be taught by a Financial Planner.

In the process of Financial Planning is good and right is done by a professional financial planner, then a client will be creating a book Plan in accordance with their financial goals and will be asked to allocate funds and continue to increase their investments each month. It takes perseverance and discipline to always be able to do this every month for years. But many people looking for short cuts to increase the investment to 50% and some even want to 100% in a short time through investment schemes. That is why investment scheme also remains rife and many casualties.

Playing with the risks and consequences that will be accepted is quite heavy. If there is an investment strategy that can deliver up to 50% or 100% it stands to reason that the risk would be worth that we have the potential to lose our funds 50% to 100%.

Therefore, carefully consider again if we want to get greedy in investing. Do not be tempted with investment schemes that give the lure of lucrative and consequently the results are often misleading. Use common sense and always remember that the higher the investment returns we expect the higher the potential risks to these investments.

Emergency Fund, When Financial Crisis was Happened

Emergency Fund, When Financial Crisis was Happened. There are several things that must be considered with financial and portfolio, so we do not make the family’s financial situation became increasingly severe. The first should always be considered and taken care of is the amount of the Emergency Fund that we have.

For Emergency Fund, for which is still single and has no dependents then it only takes 3 months for monthly needs, or to more easily calculated than earnings. For having 2 dependents must provide funds amounting to 6 months of income. Whereas if we have more than 2 dependents, Emergency Fund should be prepared for 12 months.

Make sure the number of our Emergency Fund remains adequate and in accordance with our needs and placed on a safe financial products and can be withdrawn at any time. The last thing we want to happen is, when the stock was down all of a sudden we get caught up in an emergency, our Emergency Fund while the number is less or not according to our needs. As a result we have to dilute our investment in capital market products that are currently the number is certain to decline. The second thing we must note in its present state this is to ascertain whether an insurance policy we keep running and ready at any time if needed.

For some of us who have limited health insurance coverage, check to the Human Resources (HR) does limit us and the family are still there and the numbers are sufficient in the event the conditions under which we should be treated. If we buy their own insurance, make sure that we have to pay insurance premiums and make sure the policy is still running. Notice also the type of policies and protections that we have, do not get us wrong type of insurance purchased.

In unstable condition it is not advisable to create a new debt, especially consumer debt. Hold us in advance not to buy goods that have not needed until the condition recover. Finally, in conditions like today Cash is the King. By holding more cash we can use them when needed in emergency conditions. In addition, the cash can be used to take the opportunity to invest when prices are stuck down and start up again so that we can invest in a cheap price. Which must always remember is, every crisis or falling prices and other investment instruments, there is always a chance for profit.
