Good investment strategies

By: Zigfred Diaz

Months ago my Dad asked me to attend a multi-level marketing seminar which involves Voice Over Internet Protocol (V.O.I.P) products. He wanted to attend the seminar personally but he asked me to attend the seminar primarily for two reasons first, he just did not understand what the product is all about and second he had another meeting to attend. So I just attended the seminar in his behalf.

A very eloquent and well dressed american gave the presentation. He sounded very convincing. Without a doubt, the product was equally good as well. However, what interested me was the sales pitch he made when asked he people to join the company.

According to him, if you are an entrepreneur and you wanted to succeed in your business, a good business strategy is to find something that would be a big hit in the future. You then spend your resouces on it. For investors, one of your investment strategies is to invest in companies that does this exactly this.

He told us that Microsoft is one of the richest and one of the most successful company in the world. The company is currently worth more than $ 200 Billion dollars. If these guys would come knocking at your door, you wouldn't hesitate to give them your investments.

But let's just pretend for a moment that it is the year 1978. A group of casually dress, long haired, hippie looking geeks came knocking at your door asking you to invest in their company or even work for them. They said their product is something called "computer software" and that it would change the world in the years to come. That skinny little geek at the left side wearing a blue shirt at the bottom of the picture said you would regret it if you wouldn't invest in their company. Would you be convinced with their investment strategies? Would you have invested your time or your money?

For those people who decided to invest during that time later one became millionaires and even billionaires. Those who left after several years didn't enjoy the wealth that the company brought.

Nobody expected that those casually dressed, long haired, hippie looking geeks would make billions and change the world years later. But those who invested in them truly reaped the benefits.

The speaker closed by asking the audience if they are willing to take the chance to join in the multi-level marketing scheme of the new VOIP product. The sales pitch was good, and the product is good. But experience tells me that any multi-level marketing based business will only be good for a couple of years, after that the business has to switch to traditional since the market will be so saturated that you will have nobody to recruit. If the speaker was asking people to buy shares of stocks perhaps I might buy some. Investing in companies who has the foresight to know the trend in the future is always part of good investment strategies. Who knows? 20 years from now I might look back and say that I'm glad I invested. By the way the company he was talking about was Microsoft and the skinny little geek wearing the blue shirt was Bill Gates.
