The magician with gold fingers


– Do you trust the magician with gold fingers, called yours Investment Advisor (IA) ?
– Do you trust The Expert that advises you on investment matters on a professional basis….???

By definition an investment advisor is considered to be acting in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of clients with a higher standard of disclosure and due care, a commitment to disclose, minimize and resolve conflicts of interest than would be found in a tradition securities brokerage environment. In addition, most IAs are compensated on a fee basis (usually as a percentage of assets under management) rather than a commission basis…

I was told that this was the master’s voice of independent and independent-minded advisers willing to serve as high educated financial slaves just to make me happy.

– Are you smiling today?
Probably not, but in a way I think you are… Take a step back and try to see that money is only money; You are still alive and happy to be part of a small wealthy part of the world.
Remember that Federal Reserve is protecting us and the world economy… and we are still happy to sleep under the shelter of a roof.

Wall Street and Wall Street Journal says “No End Yet in Sight for Financial Crisis”
– The financial crisis that began 13 months ago entered a new, far more serious phase as hopes that the damage could be contained have evaporated.

– Have you found the Investor's Shop ?
– Are you still listening to experts?
– Do you still trust the financial wizard, the magic man with fingers of gold ?

The games of money, the art of financial wizards is a future gift-giving with Unique Gifts designed just for you… Find just the right gift for that hard-to-please financial wizard! AND SMILE... !!!

– Can we trust Rating Institute any more ?
– Can we trust Moody's or Standard & Poors
Investors Service ?

Do you trust Moody's Investor Service Credit Rating Guide or Standard & Poors Credit Rating Guide Today ?

(You can read more at Stevens Institute of Technology )

NO, NO, NO… It’s easy for a company to lose an AAA Bond Rating and easier for us to lose money listening to “good advices” from high educated financial wizard sometimes called Investment Advisor's !

It’s Time to Listen to Pete Seeger
What Did You Learn in School today, Dear little boy of mine?


I learned that Washington never told a lie.
I learned that soldiers never die.
I learned that everybody's free,
And that's what the teacher said to me.

That's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school.

I dedicated this song to a teacher in French Polynesia that hopefully didn’t lose any money on AIG, Lehman Brothers or Merrill Lynch...
As a teacher and expert giving advises on a professional basis is it time to come to a decision and Make your own decisions !


Take Care !!!

Ingvar Kamprad, fondateur du groupe IKEA

Ingvar Kamprad, fondateur du groupe IKEA

Ingvar Kamprad a fondé IKEA en 1943 à l'âge de 17 ans. Les meubles en kit ont été lancés à la fin des années 1950.

Fortune : 34 milliards de dollars en 2007
Age : 82 ans (1926-03-30)
Nationalité : Suédois

Après avoir vendu des allumettes, des décorations de Noël et des graines de semence pendant son adolescence, Invar Kamprad crée son entreprise en 1943, à l'âge de 17 ans : baptisé à partir de ses initiales et de la 1ère lettre du nom de la ferme et du village où il a grandi (Elmtaryd er Agunnary), IKEA vend d'abord des stylos, de la petite maroquinerie, des cadres, des nappes, des bijoux et des bas en nylon. La vente de meubles débute seulement en 1947. Le concept des meubles "en kit" prendra son envol à la fin des années 1950. Grâce à ces innovations bon marché, IKEA conquiert le marché mondial. Le groupe possède 231 magasins et emploie 90 000 salariés dans 44 pays. IKEA n'est pourtant pas coté en bourse. Avec une fortune estimée à 28 milliards de dollars, son fondateur revendique une vie simple, évite de porter des costumes et voyage en classe économique !

Time to Pack & Time to Flyaway...


At The 20th of June, 9.30 am was it time for me to start a new trip for about 3 days and 22000 kilometres. I was lucky to hold a set of tickets for Air France and Star Alliance, and was briefly prepared for a meeting with possible, and too me unknown, relative friends of my family in PF.

And I was truly happy to have Time to meet a business friend again, and Time to fly to the lovely island of Maupiti !
