What is an Accredited Investor In this episode I discussed some experience that I had at a Angel investment and entrepreneur mixer. Where I met an individual who told me about his company and the opportunities it may present in the cannabis industry. To invest in this company you needed to be an Accredited Investor. So in this podcast I discuss the evaluation of this potential private placement memorandum and also I discuss the requirements to meet that of an accredited investor. Below is the definition that I found from a another website which describes quite well, what is required in order to be considered an accredited investor From:https://www.investor.gov/additional-resources/news-alerts/alerts-bulletins/investor-bulletin-accredited-investors "What does it mean to be an accredited investor? Under the federal securities laws, a company or private fund may not offer or sell securities unless the transaction has been registered with the SEC or an exemption from registration is available. Certain securities offerings that are exempt from registration may only be offered to, or purchased by, persons who are accredited investors. One principal purpose of the accredited investor concept is to identify persons who can bear the economic risk of investing in these unregistered securities. Unlike offerings registered with the SEC in which certain information is required to be disclosed, companies and private funds, such as a hedge fund or venture capital fund, engaging in these exempt offerings do not have to make prescribed disclosures to accredited investors. These offerings, sometimes referred to as private placements, involve unique risks and you should be aware that you could lose your entire investment. The SEC recently adopted rules to permit general advertising for certain exempt offerings. Are you an accredited investor? An accredited investor, in the context of a natural person, includes anyone who: earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current year, OR has a net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence). On the income test, the person must satisfy the thresholds for the three years consistently either alone or with a spouse, and cannot, for example, satisfy one year based on individual income and the next two years based on joint income with a spouse. The only exception is if a person is married within this period, in which case the person may satisfy the threshold on the basis of joint income for the years during which the person was married and on the basis of individual income for the other years. In addition, entities such as banks, partnerships, corporations, nonprofits and trusts may be accredited investors. Of the entities that would be considered accredited investors and depending on your circumstances, the following may be relevant to you: any trust, with total assets in excess of $5 million, not formed to specifically purchase the subject securities, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person, or any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors. In this context, a sophisticated person means the person must have, or the company or private fund offering the securities reasonably believes that this person has, sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of the prospective investment. How do I calculate my net worth?

Series 7 Study Guide Lesson 5 This is  Series 7 Study Guide Lesson 5 the first episode covering fixed income investments. They are different from equities. I've always told people that there are only two types of investments in this world. There's equity which is the owners and there's debt which are the loaners. The owners and the loaners - these are the only two types of investments. Wall Street comes out with all sorts of arcane strategies, but when it really comes down to it you're either a lender or an owner. Now, you have options which are speculations and you have commodities that are speculations and both can offer hedges which can protect your securities or protect your portfolio sometimes, but not all the time. But these are not investments; these are different strategies that you use as an investor to do other things with your portfolio. But there are really only two types of investments. There's equity, and we've had three episodes of equities. We’ve had common stocks, we’ve have preferred stocks and then we've had special securities which covered rights warrants and ADRs (American Depository Receipts). This is the first one that's really specifically dealing with fixed income investments. When you buy a fixed income investment, it has a stated par value. We’ve talked about this in common and preferred stocks. But in fixed income investments this is the face value of the bond, or the Ginnie Mae, or the Fannie Mae, or the government bond, or the government bill, or the government note. These are all fixed income investments, but they all come with a par value, a stated maturity value. This is what you're going to get when it matures. This is assuming that you're buying a bond or fixed income investment in a company that can actually pay off the bond. In the case of government bonds, they are considered risk-free. It's the only risk free investment out there. Now, we could get into a big discussion on that, but were not going to because what’s safe is a matter of interpretation. Par value or maturity value is what they (fixed income investments) will mature at. They come with a stated interest rate which is stated on the par value. But there’s an exception to this and that is the zero coupon bonds. They are a special case and we’ll be talking about those. There's also a stated maturity value. This is a date when you get back your par value or your maturity value on the fixed income investment. There are a few other things that can be added into fixed income investments. These are call features just like in preferred stocks. Fixed income securities have call features or may have call features. The exception that you can usually count on are government bonds. US government bonds have no call features. They may have sinking funds which are simply a portion of money set aside every year to buy back the bonds. These are usually found in municipal fixed income investments or municipal bonds. Here is what my customers say about my audio lessons Testimonials Loading...

Series 7 Study Guide Lesson 4 In this Series 7 Study Guide Lesson 4 we’ll be talking about some different types of securities which are called special securities in financial listings. These include warrants, rights, which we’ve talked about a little bit in the common stock section and ADRs which stands for American depository receipts. First of all, warrants are basically rights to purchase stock at specific prices that are long-term in nature. They differ from rights which tend to be short term in nature. A warrant may be issued by a company simply to raise money by selling the right to buy the common stock at a certain price. It doesn't appear on the balance sheet as equity, it is simply a warrant. Now, in calculating the earnings per share fully diluted they will take warrants into effect. But for the most part it's sort of like free money to a corporation that issues warrants. If you issue warrants and you sell these warrants to the public, you get a certain dollar amount for the warrant. Now, if at some point in time the stock underlying that warrant rises to a certain point to make that warrant valuable and people convert it into stock, then the company gets the additional equity from the purchase of the stock. Warrants are used as basically an enticement to people to start watching the stock and basically a warrant is a long term option to buy the stock at a specific price. Warrants quite often are attached to the sale of stock as a kicker or teaser, or a sale of a bond, or a sale of a preferred stock. It can be attached pretty much to anything. When they do that it’s called a unit. You might for instance get one common share and one warrant to buy a common share at the price of the common stock plus let's say a dollar too. For instance, a company issued some stock at $30 a share. They might attach to that stock issue a warrant or a right to buy an additional share of stock at $35 per share. This would be what is called a unit. This way, people would buy the stock. Warrants can be traded on their own and you will see listings for warrants in the financial listings of securities of negotiable securities and the financial pages. .....   Here is what my customers say about my audio lessons Testimonials Loading...

Series 7 Study Guide Lesson 3 This is the Series 7 Study Guide Lesson 3, in this episode were going to talk about preferred stock. This is a little different than common stock because it has a par value that actually means something. So preferred stock has a preference over common stock. Now there are a lot of different types of preferred stocks out there. There's cumulative preferred, noncumulative preferred, convertible preferred and a few others but we’re not going to get into any more than that. A preferred stock is issued with a par value. And the par value is the value of that stock in the event of a dissolution. Before the common stockholders get anything, preferred stockholders would get back 100% of this par value on that stock before the common stockholders would get anything. They may not get back 100%. They may get back whatever is left over after the creditors which are senior to the preferred stockholders get first. So it all depends on your hierarchy in the liquidation or dissolution of the company. We’re going to get over some terms. We’ll just basically define some terms and talk about what those terms mean. When a preferred stock is issued it is considered a senior security over common. Debt is senior over preferred stock. The preferred stockholder stands above the common stockholder, but the debt holder stands above the preferred stockholder. When a preferred stock is issued, it’s typically issued at let's say $100 par value. If you look at a preferred stock sheet, it may say preferred stock $100 with 10 percent and that 10% is the dividend that is paid on a preferred stock. Let's say a stock has a par value of a hundred dollars and a percentage interest rate or an interest rate of 10%, the holder of that preferred stock would expect to receive $10 per year. That's the dividend rate on the preferred stock. Most dividends on preferred stocks are paid on a semiannual basis and remember in common stocks most dividends are paid on a quarterly basis. However, that's not a hard and fast rule. Some preferred stocks only pay dividends annually. You need to look at the information for the specific preferred stock to determine how often it pays dividends. Also, some preferred stocks pay dividends on a quarterly basis. So there’s no hard and fast rule for when dividends are paid on preferred stocks. Here is what my customers say about my audio lessons Testimonials Loading...

Series 7 Study Guide Lesson 2 This is series 7 study guide lesson 2 and this is the first episode where were going to really get into the meat and potatoes of the basics of the securities industry and securities. In this episode, we're going to be talking about common stock. First of all, if you look at company's balance sheet there's going to be an asset, a liability and an equity section. The common stock side of the equation is in the equity section. Common stock is the equity of a company. If you're a common stockholder, you own a portion of the company. Common stock is issued by the corporation and it’s also issued by investment companies. When a company goes and does the charter for itself, it will register with the state. In the state registration which is found in the articles of incorporation, it will state that the company is authorized to issue X number of shares. It will usually state what is the par value of those shares are. It can be a par or no par stock. Typically, a company will have either a no par stock which means there is no intrinsic value to the stock or a very low par value. Par value is simply the stated value of the company stock on the company's balance sheet. For instance, let's say a company issues stock at $10 a share yet the par value on the stock is one dollar. On the balance sheet you will see issued stock at par at one dollar and paid in excess of par value of nine dollars. This is very common. The par value is set low primarily because of the different state regulations involving the taxation of corporations. Some states charge a tax based on the par value of the stock. It really depends on the state where the company is operating in and as to what they can and cannot do. The state in which a company is chartered also determines what they can and can't do. If you have a multiple-choice question which asks what would be one reason why you have a low par value on a stock. The answer to that is because the taxation of the various states might tax the par value at a certain rate and by lowering the par value it reduces the tax to the corporation.   Here is what my customers say about my audio lessons Testimonials Loading...

When I went to work in the brokerage industry so many years ago, I was hired; I was expected to pass the Series 7 Examination. They gave me a couple of months to study for it. I took the examination, and if I had not passed, I would've been fired immediately. Actually, I think they gave me two tries to pass the examination, and that point in time, they wouldn’t have kept me. So basically, you need to have a firm that is sponsoring you to take the examination....... Here is what my customers say about my audio lessons Testimonials Loading...
