Some days on the stock market can be a pretty wild ride, with prices surging or crashing. But to make sure the roller coaster don't dash you weh, some stock markets including the Jamaica Stock Exchange, have a circuit breaker. There are times when investors might hear some market news that may affect a company's performance, so they quickly buy or sell shares, which then leads to rapid fluctuations in the share price. Stock exchanges try to prevent this by establishing trade limits for securities and indices.

#MoneyMovesJa - How to grow your business in a pandemic

Executive Chairman of the Think Grow Lead (TGL) Group, Duane Lue-Fong, has asserted that several businesses are now finding it difficult to get sales during the pandemic because staff lack the skill to connect, convince and persuade people the right way. Lue-Fong noted that some businesses do well in sales because of the conditions. However, when those conditions get harsh, he said sales people will find it more difficult to grow a business if they do not possess the right skills to be able to quickly adapt and execute their mandate in a particular way. He said with the pandemic changing how potential customers are reached, sales teams must now find alternative leads to reel in potential customers or continue to suffer losses.

#MoneyMondaysJa - Saving vs. Investing

Do you remember a time when J$20 used to be a paper note?  The Jamaican $20 bill was officially changed to a coin in 2000, symbolizing its decrease in value, as coins tend to be worth less than notes in a country’s currency.  What if you have saved that $20 note under a mattress in 1995? At the time, it would’ve been worth about US$0.56. Today, it would only be worth US$0.13, and that’s not counting the loss in value due to inflation.  What would it be worth if you had invested that $20 instead?  Let’s look at investing vs. saving. This week's Pop Quiz!! Pop Quiz! If I saved $20 in the bank in 2000 at current interest rates, how much would it be worth now? If I had invested that $20 in stocks, how much do you think it would now be worth?

#MoneyMondaysJa - HOW TO BENEFIT FROM LIFE INSURANCE WHILE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE

That’s right, you don’t have to die to benefit from life insurance!  It’s not just for your dependents, but can also benefit you! If you’re a young adult, life insurance may not be at the front of your mind. You may be focused on establishing a career, managing student loans or other debt, or trying to get your life started. Insurance is a form of risk management, mostly used to guard against the risk of a loss, such as your death, but that’s not its only purpose. Your responsibilities are increasing and, as responsibilities increase, there is more to protect. Now is a great time for you to consider life insurance.
