“What is ze most powerful force in the universe?” Compounding Interest Rates Compound Interest!
Buying a Car • I can buy a $30k Jaguar or stick with my Honda • Perform a Cost/Benefit Analysis • The Jag actually costs me $70k • Is a new Jag going to give me $70k worth more of personal joy than my Honda? No. Go with the Honda.
Create a Budget • Extremely important after Graduation • You’ll be tracking more than a dozen monthly expenses • Form good habits now • Some of you will be amazed at where all your money goes • A budget Now will create good spending habits
Helping your Soldiers w/ their $$$ • AVOID Payday Lenders (see link) • Cause a “debt trap” • You’re the first line of defense • Educate yourself • More Importantly, know who to refer them to before a problem • All Posts have rarely used but high quality people who can help • Show them these slides (bonuses)
What is a Stock? • A Stock (Certificate) represents a small slice of a company that can be bought and sold. • Companies “go public” to raise money; they will never again get money from investors after the IPO (Initial Public Offering). • P/E Ratio and Market Capitalization • Investors hope their company increases its earnings and either reinvests them in the company to increase future earnings or pays them a dividend.
Growth Investing • Find the next MSFT or WMT • Look for continuing earnings growth • They have higher “trailing P/Es” • But lower “forward P/Es”
Value Investing • Find a MSFT or WMT that is currently trading at a discount • Make sure of sound fundamentals • Contrarian Investing
Next Time • How to start investing (or make better investment decisions) • Setting up an IRA • Analyzing Mutual Funds • Risk Tolerance and Goals • Diversification and Asset Allocation

Screening Criteria • 1. Minimum Price per Share $5 (has to do with listing requirements and whether or not institutional money can invest in stock) • 2. Price to Sales maximum 5 • 3. Inside Ownership Minimum 1% (management has some stake in the company) • 4. Institutional Ownership Minimum 15% (does smart money invest in this company) • 5. Price to Earnings maximum 50 (although we prefer something more reasonable compared to sector averages you'll see on Quicken) • 6.
