www.silversnowball.com Why Silver Investment? China is pushing the idea of gold and silver investment to the general population in the way that Western television sells soap powder. If 1.3 billion Chinese citizens start buying silver, even in tiny quantities, imagine what that will do to the spot price in the near future! As more and more Chinese move into the cities and individual wealth grows, this trend is only likely to accelerate. Now, add the same figure of 1.3 billion people, wanting electric lights, cars, toasters computers mobile phones and everything else you and I take for granted. That’s an incredible amount of silver supply needed in electronics to meet daily increasing demand. What do you think that will do to the silver price in the not too distant future?

Hosted by Ken Honeyman, The Capital MatchPoint, www.capitalmatchpoint.com, 770.433.8250…When a capital source really says no, what does that mean. Let’s learn something from this. I tell the entrepreneur, you’ve had a number of face to face meetings with funding sources, and they turned the deal down, and that’s tough. Let’s debrief a little bit about what’s happened and what they probably told you. Let me give you an insiders look and decipher what they’ve said to the entrepreneur when he gets turned down. Hey, we’ve all been turned down by financing before, and I think it’s instructive to know, but more valuable as a learning tool when these standard push backs occur. They’re telling you something, so let’s be prepared. I think it’s time to read the lines between the standard phrases they get back to you on. They say, “I liked your company, but my partners didn’t.” In other words, no. if this person truly believed in the project, he’d vouch for you and get this thing going. If they say, “If you get funding or a lead investor, we’ll follow.” And what that really means is, once your first round of financing is completed by someone else, we’d be happy to give you more, but let someone else take the risk. They say, “Show us some more traction, and we’ll invest.” What that really means is, I don’t want to say no, because you may land a large customer in the interim. But right now, I just don’t believe in it. They say, “We’d love to co-invest with other VC’s or other angels …

Watch this video now: capitalmatchpoint.com , Hosted by Mark N. Bass, The Capital MatchPoint, www.capitalmatchpoint.com, 770.433.8250…When we get calls from entrepreneurs that have received offers for funding, the first question that we usually get is, “How did our investor arrive at this price?” Which is the the amount of stock that the entrepreneur is going to have to give up or equity on the company that the entrepreneur’s going to have to give up in exchange for the capital infusion. To be honest, being short of a mind reader, that question is almost impossible to answer. But one opportunity that we do get at the Capital Match Point is the opportunity to speak with our investors frequently, and this topic comes up a lot. And what we have found is that, when evaluating companies for investment, our investors usually think about things like, how attainable are the goals and milestones of the business plan? One of things that’s important to remember, a sophisticated investor is a sophisticated analyst, and if they see something in the financials that don’t hang together with the business plan, or they see things that look unrealistic, they’re going to adjust accordingly. Another question is, when will the company be prepared for exit or sale? It’s important to keep in mind that the longer an investor has their capital invested in an entrepreneur’s company, that’s going to affect the return on investment that that investor earns. Another question might be is, what will …
