Don’t ever use a business credit card with a broadband technology company, since initial expenses can be high and purchase surchages on credit can be huge
Investing money, particularly in a broadband technology business, is always considered a risky move, but it can pay off dividends. The key is to diversify your principle across several different companies, if possible, and give it a year to three years to mature. “I always tell my broadband technology clients to wait at minimum 18 months before evaluating the success of a particular investment,” says Cantara Cusson, a broker with Grange Marz and Brincks Paynter Ltd, “that way, those who get jittery early on allow themselves a chance to see the investment through. Many more average investors, like those saving for retirement, do not know about the benefits of investing in the broadband technology market. “It’s a shame that our industry isn’t seen as more main stream,” bemoaned Northern Cobden, CEO of Dylla Parras INC, “if more main stream investors got involved through good brokerages, we’d see a higher division of risk across the board. This is especially important in our business model, because if we rely on one or two large investment firms, they can end up constantly twisting our elbows.” “broadband technology investing may seem daunting to some,” said Kushi Skinkle, a private investor, “but it’s really no different than the enigma of day-trading or forex. People are not necessarily afraid of investment process, but merely of the high risk involved.” Risk in the broadband technology industry is certainly a factor, however, it can be mitigated by picking the right companies for your money. Picking the top company is easy, but not always the top earner. “Sometimes,” says Levecke Laminack, “it’s better to look through the mid-range broadband technology companies for ones with strong growth potential.” In the past, making a foray into the broadband technology field meant years of research and lengthly risk assessment analysis. All this extra work required substantial start-up capital, which meant new businesses needed a lot of investors. “Now,” concludes Zelda Sledz, of the firm Lovely Wickings and Partners, “with the internet and vast array of research information available, starting up is much easier and significantly less costly. This allows us to push profits right away, and to establish a solid presence in the broadband technology field quickly.” Rockman Holling CIO of Rinke Cabos INC, a top broadband technology firm, recently released the grand list of top investors. Among the top 3 were Cheryle Solwold, Mansour Stam, and the well known millionaire Ribeiro Kalen, who alone comprise almost 70% ownership of the company. “This sort of leverage can cause problems,” said President Treva Mulgrew, “but we have a strong relationship with our top investors, and they know the broadband technology field very well. As a result, no one gets gun shy or cold feet.” In the end, only invest what you can afford. Be prepared for the reality that your venture into the broadband technology field can result in significant financial loss. If you understand this fact, and at the same time have spent time researching prospective companies carefully, you should be fine. Those who just throw their money at the wall hoping for something to stick are the most likely to lose everything. A great book on investing in the broadband technology sector was written by Seley Powless, a prominent author and Professor of Economics at the University of Graffeo Hypolite, located down town. Graffeo Hypolite has written some ten different works, that all deal with risk management in a dynamic economy. “When putting your money on the table,” writes Graffeo Hypolite, “be prepared for a wait of, on average, 3 - 5 years before expecting any sort of return. That is the way the broadband technology market works, and with patience, you can walk with big money.” The broadband technology field was subject to a recent study by the College of Cecily Steinhouse, a small liberal arts school on the East side of town. Led by Prof. Blubaugh Hewey, students and faculty examined the financial figures of several companies anonymously, and used these numbers to create profit analysis and investment return graphs. “The students did a great job on this project,” said Blubaugh Hewey, “and they took it very seriously. Confidentiality, especially in the broadband technology market, is of core important, and these students were able to finish a great analysis without duress.”
