The document discusses several myths about investment and fundraising. It argues that simply having a good project does not guarantee investment (Myth #1). Investors purchase shares in a company, not buy shares from the founders (Myth #2). Becoming invested does not necessarily make one rich due to complications that can arise (Myth #3). Investment does not necessarily empower founders, as control can be lost as more money is raised (Myth #4). Companies are funded based on their financial projections and potential for future profits/growth, not just current profits (Myth #5). Not all investors have the same priorities and behaviors (Myth #6). Raising too much money too early can reduce the founders' long
The current economic expansion has achieved 2 significant milestones. And what makes these milestones special is that when combined together, they create an economic paradox.
For starters, the current economic expansion has set the record as the longest period of continuous economic growth in US history.
While at the same time, it has also set the record as being the weakest period of continuous economic growth in US history.
This should raise questions as well as concerns.
The answer to the primary question is as follows: this economic expansion has been completely supported and enabled by unorthodox interest policies by global central banks. Zero % and negative % interest rates around the world has allowed economies to maintain positive, yet muted growth.
The concern with this economic experience is that the majority of this growth has been artificially created.
In this IceCap Global Outlook, we examine the invisible hand and why it is the key to understanding why economic growth is so weak, and better still - what happens next.
Howard Marks discusses market cycles and the importance of not being emotional as an investor. In 2008 during the Global Financial Crisis, when others were panicking and markets were crashing, Oaktree Capital which Marks co-chairs stepped in and invested $10 billion in distressed assets over 15 weeks. Marks explains they did this because they either believed the financial system would collapse, in which case it didn't matter if they invested or not, or it wouldn't collapse and they didn't invest they wouldn't do their job. This turned out to be a great buying opportunity. Marks emphasizes the importance of understanding the present conditions of the market rather than trying to predict the future, and of being willing to take contrarian positions when others are pessimistic

How To Get Rich With Bitcoin
The incredible story of how I missed the boat on Bitcoin,
still got rich, and how you can do the same...one bitcoin was worth just a few cents...
Bitcoin is the top-rated cryptocurrency, though it is not considered legal tender in Costa Rica. While some argue bitcoin is a safe investment due to its lack of correlation to the stock market, others believe its price declines signal growing pains as the emerging technology matures and negative media coverage scares away 2017 investors. However, the document argues that emerging technologies always experience difficulties in their early years, and bitcoin will likely continue developing rather than dying out.
The document discusses challenges facing the UK high street and rise of online shopping. It notes that consumption was unsustainably high prior to the recession, and sustainable consumption may be 20% lower now. Many shops are vacant as shopper habits have changed, with consumers preferring online shopping for choice and value. The recession is accelerating store closures but long-term trends of obsolete retail sites and changes in shopping behavior pose more fundamental problems. Online retail spending is growing and may account for 40% of total retail sales by 2020.
Magda Mo's Marketviews Newsletter for Toronto Real Estate: January 2013Magda Mo
The real estate market in the GTA has slowed down in recent months. Various factors are believed to have contributed to the slowdown, including new federal mortgage rules, the Toronto land transfer tax, and the market becoming overpriced. However, most experts believe the slowdown is a normal market correction and not the beginning of a housing crash. Sales are down 16% compared to last year while prices are down slightly or up slightly depending on property type and location. The outlook for 2013 is for moderate sales growth and a stable market supported by economic fundamentals.

Voucher sites offer heavily discounted vouchers online that are predominantly purchased by females aged 23-49. However, these businesses require voucher givers to give up large profits through discounts, contain small print around redemption rules that favor the sites, and use aggressive payment tactics. While initially targeting small businesses for growth, the long term viability of business models that rely on limited markets and supplies is uncertain. The document recommends small businesses tread carefully when considering voucher sites due to the costs and risks involved.

Market Comment December 2020
Court Guinness takes his regular opinionated,
“clarksonistic” and sometimes irreverent view of
what he sees in the market place.
In this issue he looks back at 2020 and tries to look for-
ward to 2021.
Since I last wrote to you all, COVID-19 has still dominated
our lives and shows no sign of stopping soon. The econo-
my in general is languishing in a U-bend and a certain
blonde haired buffoon in Westminster and his little friends
make mistake after mistake that have most of us yearning
for extra anti-depressants. Who would have known that
having an eye test at Barnard Castle would be a nice
bourgeois Islington fashion statement, there hasn’t been
one of them since the Blair family tried badly to make
people carriers and Le Creuset pans vaguely trendy in the
late 1990’s!
Talking of depression let us continue the never ending
retail discussion now. The dereliction and the abandon-
ment of the great British high street continues unabated.
There are people out there visiting stores and there are
signs that people are showing support to retailers where
they can. However, this is just not enough. The damage
has already been done. The Trade House Magazine al-
ready has a number of advertisers looking for freehold
retail sites to redevelop.
Offices are coming on to the market thick and fast now
and many are pre consented for residential conversion
too. It seems like it is an uncanny vendor that is leaving it
to the purchaser to gain planning consent! This seems to
be helping to keeping values buoyant rather than strong!
We are still in a very uncertain place as regards taxation
for the next 2-3 years. The Westminster dunce machine
have started to leak their hand slowly and it seems that
CGT will be their main target. In this office we cannot real-
ly comment but we are not so sure and think VAT, corpo-
ration tax and personal tax are more likely targets.
A political analyst that knows this office well has suggest-
ed that there will be a general election before Christmas
2021 and that electorate will not be returning a conserva-
tive government to Westminster. His hunch is for a Lab-
Lib coalition with Prime Minister Starmer at the helm. One
thing is clear Bozza the Wozza and his chums and are
running low on fuel. They ran out of ability a long time ago
and the only thing they can do is try and stem things until
a more competent government can be formed.
As we speed towards Crimbo one has to ask the question
“what is in it for us?” All the signs are spending will be
down and any business relying on a good Christmas is
likely to be seriously disappointed. At this time of year I
should be out every night with clients enjoying festive
drinkies and every morning my secretary should be deliv-
ering news that some slut she used to work with had sex
on the office photocopier after an office party. Not this
year! Nil, Nada, Nothing, Zilch! Barclaycard phoned me
up yesterday to ask about abnormal spending on my card
– there hasn’t been any spending on that card!
One thing that has become very prevalent is the rise of
the chancer. I have heard stories of the sudden drop tac-
tic resurging – This being demanding a massive drop in
price at the 11th
hour prior to completion and another tac-
tic of requiring expensive lease extensions and other
costly works prior to exchange as a condition of offer.
Some of these are in poor taste and we are seeing the
bedding-in of a
particular type of
Muppet into the
market. The fool
who will buy
anything he can
for peanuts and
try in hope to
turn it around
usually alienat-
ing a good few
people in the
process. This
behavior has
been on the rise
exponentially
since March

been a thing and sometimes are excellent reasons for
this. There is no excuse for treating the marketplace like
dirt though.
There were some peculiar happenings in the property
sector with a large amount of properties at auction achiev-
ing unbelievable percentage rates above guide prices and
this seems to have settled, though we are seeing a rise in
auctioneers advertising stupidly low guide prices. Provin-
cial residential property was behaving in a funny way as
we were seeing some portfolio’s and more interesting res-
idential property seeing funny gains that would not be ex-
pected during a pandemic. This has largely stopped now.
A dead cat bounce if ever there was one.
Apart from the odd glimmer of light dealmaking is in the
doldrums and I can only see this holding. 2020 is com-
pletely written off now in a similar way to an anti-vaxxer
rejecting scientific reason over anything else. Business
recovery in early 2021 is about as likely as Doncaster
Rovers winning the English Premier League. Looking into
the future I fear we will have to write off 2021 too in much
the same way as Carillion debtors have had to write off
sums owing!
The indie and freelance sector is seeing its own doldrums'
with a number of self employed IT and engineering con-
tractors wondering what to do next with a combination of
new tax laws and a lack of new work. Other freelancers
are finding times hard and the office has seen some inter-
esting side hustles come through the door. We are im-
pressed by the sheer inventiveness and in some cases
blind hope of others!
We note that several umbrella companies are reported in
various places to be in difficulty, I have a hard time finding
any love for these organisations but the sector appears to
be in deep trouble. In the 20 years I have known of um-
brella companies they have been nothing but trouble. I
suspect that the white collar contracting marketplace will
be a shadow of its former self come 2022.
There are rumours abound that more banks will seek to
shrink their commercial loans books in 2021 and we have
heard some rumours that we maybe heading back to the
heady days of the GRG style operations of Royal Bank of
Scotland fame. Every bank has or had such an operation
and these seem to be coming back into vogue! God help
us!
We have noticed a trend for an incident to surround the
production of Market Comment and apart from me over-
sleeping yesterday this issue is the exception to the re-
cent rule!
I wish I could say that it has been a pleasure to share
2020 with you all but 2020 for itself has been anything but
a pleasure and more of a pile of steaming poo! In spite of
all the signs pointing to things being rather poor I want to
wish you all a good Christmas and wish you and your
families the very best for a prosperous 2021.
Happy dealmaking!
Regards
Court
