This document discusses the risks of leveraging investments to increase returns. It describes how leverage can magnify both gains and losses, using the example of someone who borrowed money to invest in BlackBerry stock. When the stock price plunged after a loss was reported, the leveraged investor lost their entire $1,000 investment plus an additional $800 due to borrowing and leverage. The document warns that while leverage can boost returns, it also increases risk and losses, so proper risk management through stops and limits is necessary when using leverage to avoid potentially large losses.
Unless you can predict the future, investing is a risky business. Know your goals, your needs and your tolerance for risk before you put your money at stake.

Bond ladders are a valuable retirement planning strategy because of the ability to reinvest the principal from the maturing bond (bottom step) into a longer term bond with a higher yield. The new bond will then become the new top step of your ladder.

The priceless lesson investors in black berry received
1. Title: The Priceless Lesson Investors in BlackBerry Received
Author: Moe Zulfiqar, http://www.dailygainsletter.com/
Body
My old friend who is always chasing the big trades, Mr. Speculator, is at it
again.
In a recent discussion with him, he said that “investors should always borrow
on the capital they have, so their returns are better…instead of just making a
measly two percent, they can make 10%.” In other words: he suggests
leveraging your portfolio for higher gains.
I have to give credit to Mr. Speculator, because he has the concept right, to say the least; leverage can
increase an investor’s profits substantially, and magnify smaller moves into much bigger rewards.
Consider this scenario: Say you have $1,000 in your portfolio, and you borrow an additional $5,000
from your broker—or anyone else, for that matter—to buy shares of ABC Inc., which trade for $5.00
each. With this sum of money, you will be able to buy 1,200 shares. Now, if the price of the stock goes
up in value by, say, 10%, the return on your original investment ($1,000) will be 60% (the stock yields a
profit of $0.50, and 1,200 shares gives you a total profit of $600.00).
Impressive, right?
But Mr. Speculator is forgetting the dark side of leverage—increased loss.
Look at the chart below for BlackBerry (NASDAQ/BBRY), formerly known as Research in Motion
Limited, after the company reported a loss of $84.0 million, or $0. 16 per share, for the three months
ended June 1, 2013. (Source: “RIM posts larger-than-expected loss, shares plunge,” Associated Press,
June 28 2013.)
