Insurance World

The word insurance, on a broader sense means ‘Promise of reimbursement in the case of loss; paid to people or companies so concerned about hazards that they have made prepayments in the form of premium to an insurance company’.

In principles, insurance dwells on assumptions such as
1.The losses and consequences are uncertain
2.Rates of losses are fairly quantifiable and predictable
3.Losses are not calamitous
4.Losses are substantial

This unambiguously infers that speculative risks such as those involved in stock investments and gambling are not covered.

Very broadly, insurance can be said to be having two categories; one: Life Insurance and two: Non Life Insurance.

Life Insurance
Life insurance is generally meant to be covering the risk of ‘life insured’s’ life for a predetermined sum, which is called the ‘sum assured’ to be paid either upon death occurring within the term of the insurance or upon expiry of the term itself. As a matter of fact, most of the life insurance policies are based and developed on this premise.

Non Life Insurance
The instrument non life insurance refers to insurance policy for anything other than life insurance. However, the principles are pretty much the same and sum assured and premium values are estimated in the similar way. Nevertheless, there exist two major differences between life insurance and non life insurance. They are:

1. The premiums payments are calculated on the basis of depreciating value of the insured property, each time. This invariably means that premiums get increased every time to cover up for the depreciation in the value of insured property.

2. The premiums paid over the period of the insurance are generally not guaranteed to be accumulated for payback at the end of the term unless otherwise explicitly expressed in the policy document.

A Few Non Life Insurances
Take a few examples for non life insurances here.

1.Unemployment insurance against job loss
2.Celebrity insurance against their intangible assets (teeth, legs etc.)
3.Health and dental insurance
4.Employees group insurance by their employers
5.Vehicle, house owners’, machineries insurance
6.Insurance for goods in shipment

Why Life Insurance
This is especially important to understand as many people tend to disregard insurance as something not of high importance. But in reality, insurance always covers your dependents when you are no more. It indemnifies your kin from your liabilities, such as, particularly, home loans. As a matter of fact, wiser step would be, higher the liability, greater is your insurance cover. Insurance are also instruments of tax deductible investments.

No matter the insurance companies are making huge profits, they are covering your life which is all the more important.

Why does the average investor is making far less money than the sophisticated investor? Well, they are lots o reasons why these happens.

One of the most important reasons is the lack of financial education, and the lack of information, which in our era is more important than the usual education, the kind of education that we receive at school.

The average investor, invests accordingly with the advices that they are receiving from their financial advisors…

“Invest on long term. Diversify. Buy cheap stocks.”

And they continue to buy and lose. But what happens when the market is starting to fall? What are the financial advisors telling them?…

“Don’t worry. Continue investing on the long term.”

But how long is the period included in the expression “long term”? In the operations known as “commodity futures”, the expression “long term” could mean 30 seconds. In business or real estate, the same expression could mean centuries.

The majority of the people who invests at the stock market, are
people over 50 years and in a few years will retire. What will this people do if the market will crush tomorrow, or next month, or next year, or over 5 years from now? Are they protected? Are they prepared for that?

An article from USA Today, says that the main fear of Americanness is not having money.

Do you realize? Americanness don’t fear of a nuclear war, or the end of the world, or a new terrorist attack, they fear of not having money.

Then, why do so many people is investing without insurance? Why so many people is risking all the savings, all the money they worked for they’re entire life?

The investment process doesn’t have to be risky. Although the risk exists, the investments doesn’t have to be risky. And you don’t have to lose when the market decrease.

Tell me, please…

Would you buy a car without insurance? — That would be a total madness.

Would you buy a house without insurance? — That would be even a bigger madness.

Do you agree with me?

If yes, tell me please…

WHY DO YOU INVEST IN PAPER ASSETS WITHOUT INSURANCE? (sorry for shouting)

The average investor is interested by average things, that’s why is average. Average things are for the average people. Average investors like lukewarm things. But, if you want to be rich you must move away from the medium.

The average investor wins when the market grows and lose when the market decline.

The sophisticated investor makes money in both situations, especially when the market declines.

You can become rich when the market grows, but you can become very rich when the market falls.

So, while the average investor invest without any kind of insurance, the sophisticated investor invests with insurance.

And guess who is making more money, in less time and with little or no risks.

So, if you want to be a rich man, think like an rich man.
