It is always important to have some idea of who the fund manager is and their level of experience and expertise. Information that should be considered includes the following:

· Primary language (will you be able to effectively communicate with them?)
· Type of degrees and certifications (are they qualified to handle the offshore investment management of your hard-earned money?)
· Previous positions held (do they have the experience required to make informed decisions about your money?)
and more…

If you can find an offshore broker that is also a successful millionaire, then that is worth his or her weight in gold.

However, do not assume just because an offshore broker is wealthy that this makes them an expert in the field of investing: I once had an offshore broker that was exceptionally well-off but later found out he made his money in real estate, and not in the types of securities that he was recommending.

I don’t know if you’ve ever had bad credit, but let me assure you that it stinks. My wife had an experience with this before we actually met. A relative had stolen her information, charged up her credit cards and all sorts of garbage. She ended up with a load of debt and poor credit. Since the credit cards had such ridiculous APRs, she decided to research loans for people with bad credit. Her goal was to take out a loan with a low APR, pay off the credit card dept and then simply focus on paying back the loan. For those who aren’t clear on the term APR, it means annual percentage rate. So the total amount you owe on a credit card earns the credit card company a monthly percentage. If you owe 5,000 and your APR is 18.5 percent, they’re going to charge you 18.5 percent of 5,000 every single month. Yeah, it’s clear as day now, isn’t it? That’s a lot of cash thrown out the window. This is why loans for people with bad credit are a better solution. Find one with a low APR and pay less interest each month. It makes sense in the long run since you will be losing less money.

Certain traders on Wall Street, basing their views on stock market trends, had decided that BRUCE’S book value and earnings indicated that the stock’s price should not be more than $30 a share. Therefore, they had started to sell the stock short between 45 and 50, confident they would be able to fulfill their bargains by buying it back at a price much nearer 30.

They made a grave mistake following these stock market trends, because there was one factor they did not know about. A New York manufacturer named Edward Gilbert was trying to oust the Bruce family from control of the company. He and his associates were trying to obtain a majority of the 314,600 shares outstanding which the Bruce family owned. It was this move that had rocketed the price. The volume was terrific, and following the stock market trends, more than 275,000 Bruce shares were traded during a period of ten weeks.

The short-sellers who had so misjudged the market jostled each other to push the stock to dizzy heights in their frantic efforts to follow the stock market trends and buy it.

In the markets it’s possible to be right, and to still lose money. In fact, it’s pretty common. Traders who win on a high percentage of their trades often end up with their capital eaten away, and nothing to show for their work. They lose their gains because they don’t have money management strategies.

Being a good manager of your own money is one of the most difficult trading skills to learn. But if you don’t use good money management strategies to lock in profits, take small losses on the picks you’re wrong about, and control your use of margin, eventually you’ll lose everything, no matter how good of a trader you are. You need to make protecting your capital and developing money management strategies your priorities if you want to be successful.

As a trader, your capital is the most valuable thing you have, you have to practice money management strategies. Without it, you can’t trade at all. For this reason, bringing in no profits on a trade is better than losing any part of your capital. If your account is intact, you can always make a profit another day. If your capital has suffered a loss, you’ll be wasting effort playing catch-up.

Don’t get me wrong, early retirement planning can be difficult. Especially if you consider all the bills you currently pay and any debt you may be dealing with. So stop to ponder this for a moment. First you need to get your debt paid off. Then you need to strive to get rid of the mortgage and any car payments. Be frugal with your income. Spend what you need to and avoid masses of lame material items that merely offer a temporary high.
