Here's my track record and then he would just get a bunch of investors so lets say he's able to find 20 investors and that's all he's able to find so this is 20 right here, and I'm not going to count but, let's say that there's 20 slices right over here

(Laughter) Here's some advice from one of the largest investors in the United States.

In a situation where you have growth, you put the new money into this.

Something doesn't seem to make sense.

So it gives these shares to each of these people, and they have to contribute 200, so essentially, it puts another 1,000 into the pool, that Pete can now manage, and so now the total NAV for the fund is 2,000 now and Pete will get his 1 management fee off of this entire 2,000.

If I'm going to get an 8 return on my money, that's my benefit, it makes sense for me to borrow it at 5 .

It takes investing in those entrepreneurs that are committed to service as well as to success.

If you remember from our earlier lectures, if you're an existing market, that's a different type of revenue curve than being in a new market.

The operations didn't push that cash up, the buisness itself, this is just an investment that we made.

If I charge 1.60 per cupcake and I only sell 400,000 cupcakes,

Basically, about half of the world's population is lacking in iron, zinc, iodine and vitamin A.

So this is my break even curve. This is what I want to avoid.

We certainly could have written a check to Capitol and helped them buy computers or books.

Well their intention was to take these home equity loans and put that money to work, invest it in some way.

Seung Jo!

So let's say he convinces investor B to join in.

The government has invested in basic education, has invested in basic health.

I have these 200,000 shares.

So let's say that I've got a scheme, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to set up my investors, so these are my investors.

Imran came here. I think he was he was selling 500,000, right?

What is a long just a regular investor or I guess you could call them a trader since they're buying and selling a regular trader would make money by buying here and selling here.

Nature, city. Nothing changes.

CA And now you're a big investor in that and bringing that to market?

Investor C thinks he has 40,000.

I'm talking about the situation where you had Pete, and Pete said

Imran is essentially at break even. He's making no money.

High utilization will allow you to raise prices and when you raise price you'll get a better return on your asset, and then the other side effect is, when you have that high return on asset, you'll also have more investment going on to build more capacity.

The amount of money you get.

This guy doubled his money again, this guy just invested his money.

And they say, well what's a better investment than doing home improvements?

TEDx is different to other conferences.

Is that something that you are still invested in, that you still believe in the notion of investment?

And then the company might have made some money there.

Maybe by law, maybe he's a pension fund or he's some type of a mutual fund, that's forced to invest in something of a certain grade.

Or are you trying to get an intuition for helping to become a better investor?

There's only 25,000 in this little pile of money that I'm collecting, but people think that there should be 35,000.

You can get investors through equity, and we've done several videos on that.

This kind of data can become routine.

At COALergy we view climate change as a very serious threat to our business.

Investing in professional development is not a cost.

For example, there's more money put into baldness drugs than are put into malaria.

That you can't create wealth, all of a sudden, out of legislation.

And once again you might say, oh boy, this is some type of a shell game.

And of course the pre money valuation is just you just take the pre money valuation plus the amount of cash they're giving us.

I'm going to invest.
