Answer Upon - How to Protect Your Assets
Is print advertising headed for extinction? No way, but I am seeing more and more companies pulling dollars from their print advertising budgets and moving them into other alternatives. The reason? To brand their product or service more effectively by balancing their ad campaigns and reaching their targeted demographic audiences from different angles. And even within the print medium, the playing field appears to be changing. Newspaper and Yellow Pages advertising has suffered a blow from the growth of the internet. Googling, Yahoo-ing and online news sources are pulling from their numbers. With internet research more easily available, more advertisers are targeting

Even as ETFs have gone mainstream, the innovations continue. Here is a review of some new creative ETFs that have been launched or will shortly hit the market.First Trust Advisors now has eight ETFs available to investors. The First Trust NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted ETF (QQEWI) weights each of the 100 non-financial companies in the index equally and then rebalances on a quarterly basis. This avoids the problem in the market-cap weighted QQQQ where the ten largest companies in the index account for 40% of the total value. Another good option that does not get the attention it deserves is the Fidelity ETF, (ONEQ), which tracks the NASDAQ composite index of 3,000 c
The law also provides various means of asset protection, ranging from “homestead exceptions”, protection of ERISA retirement funds from creditors, joint property ownership, bankruptcy and more.
There are other types of asset protection that are used by wealthy individuals to shield their assets from creditors or the tax man.
They are popular with professional, who can lose everything through a simple error of judgment.
Business and property owners may use them as a tax shelter and/or estate planning measure, as well as a way to avoid creditors.
The problem with most asset protection schemes is that they are expensive to implement and maintain, almost always forcing you to give up all or part of your ownership in the asset you are trying to protect and, in many cases, are illegal to boot.
Trusts, different corporate and partnership entities and off-shore accounts are popular in this field.
If you are one of those who feel they need this kind of protection, consult a very well qualified lawyer – a CPA by himself won’t do. And apply common sense. A lot of so-called professionals in this field have wound up getting their clients indicted or into serious tax problems because of miscalculations they have made.
There is also an abundance of fraud, especially with off-shore accounts. The money you deposit into an off-shore trust might simply disappear.
Don’t forget the IRS has been subpoenaing the names of people who just bought books about off-shore investing from the so-called gurus of this field and are now delving into their finances.

Maintaining Corporate Facilities is not easy and it requires a lot of CYA and planning. Many times it makes sense to hire a property management company who can coordinate with all the vendors needed to keep everything running smoothly. Often such property management companies charge fair rates and get and override on all the services rendered from those vendors they will be working with. What types of vendors you ask?Well consider all the needs of a Corporate Facility. Lets start with the landscaping, that should be outsourced most likely and what about the parking lot too? You will need the grass mowed, sweeper service for the parking lot and maybe even a pre

Asset Protection for the Rest of Us
Most of us just have to worry about the simple mistakes we can make that cause personal injuries to another. A car accident or a slip and fall on your property can result in a lawsuit and a huge claim for damages.
This is where our homeowner’s or auto insurance companies step in. They will provide lawyers to defend the claim, hire experts if necessary and pay damages up to your policy limits.
In spite of the rash of lawsuits plaguing the US, most people with adequate insurance have little to worry about.
There are several reasons for this. First of all, personal injury lawyers, in spite of their reputation as sharks, really don’t want to throw defendants out of their houses, even if they could. They rather go for the low hanging fruit – in this case the proceeds of your liability insurance policy.
They know that unless you were drunk or grossly negligent, any liability award can be discharged in bankruptcy. They also know that many states have “homestead laws” that prevent the seizure of your home and that the money in your retirement plans are protected by varying degrees, depending on the state you live in.
In most cases, they will settle for the insurance policy limits, even if they are lower than what the case might be worth.
However, especially in cases with severe injuries, the lawyer might have no choice but to pursue your personal assets if your insurance coverage is not adequate and you do have other assets to attach – don’t forget your wages are an asset and can be garnished.
For this reason, anyone with a good income and the usual collection of assets, for example a home, car, IRA’s, other savings and investments, some original art, silverware, jewelry, etc should carry at least $1 million in liability coverage, maybe more if you live in high verdict states like California and New York. Your insurance agent should be able to advise you on a prudent liability limit.
