Setting
Up and Managing
Public Intellectual Property
Acquisitions
- Always keep in mind you are
starting and/or operating a business that is involved
with acquiring Intellectual Properties. These
acquisitions can be accomplished through private or
public transactions. Even though the day to day
activities for most network members may be mostly in the
public acquisitions arena you should always keep your
eyes and ears open for private acquisition opportunities,
they can be extremely profitable when available. Remember
that your public acquisitions activity is for the primary
purpose of purchasing Intellectual Properties, not
playing the stock markets. There are many ways to play
the stock markets and make money doing it, however the
purpose of the Hannaian system is to understand and enter
the public markets to facilitate the sole purpose of
finding, acquiring and marketing valuable Intellectual
Properties. This is necessary in our business because
most holders of valuable Intellectual Properties will
usually want to take their holdings public to maximize
their potential for success in the modern global economy.
Therefore we have no choice but to visit and transact
business in these markets in order to maximize our
opportunities to acquire and market valuable Intellectual
properties.
- Study all the articles and materials
provided in the Hannaian Stock Research Center
Menu
- Since you are going to be operating
this as a business start by establishing a business name,
a business account, a business presence and environment.
You must structure your business activity in order to
maximize your success. Remember employers require you to
be structured into a nine to five environment for a
reason. You must
provide some type of structured work environment to be
successful.
- Get the tools necessary to trade and
invest in the public securities markets. We recommend
getting the tools listed in the Hannaian Investment Tool
Kit and sticking closely to the Hannaian materials and
system while getting started. There is a tremendous
amount of information and materials available today to
work investment oriented businesses particularly the
public securities markets. If you are not careful you can
become confused and ineffective in your operations. We
have attempted to provide the easiest route for you to
get started, just follow our materials step by step and
call on other more experienced members of the network for
assistance.
- As soon as possible you will need to
open an account with a broker who will actually place
your trades and investments for you. Open a Stock Trading
account following the guidelines in Stock Investors Tool
Kit, the article "Broker Notes & Comparisons, and
listings from the Stock Research Tools Menu. The account
can be opened directly through the Internet or by calling
the broker.
Our current Broker
recommendation....... Ameritrade
.. They can be
opened online from our stock Research Tools Page. We also
recommend that you call the brokers in order to finalize
the process.
- Different brokerage accounts will
have different funding and other requirements. As you
progress in the business we recommend that you have
accounts with several brokers. Our recommendation is to
open a Margin
Account which will usually require
a minimum funding at $2,000 and allow you to trade on the
"margin" or borrow against your account to trade. If you
would like to open an account with less funds you may
utilize SureTrade, AftTrade or even a full service broker
which may require much less of a deposit. Although not
widely publicized we understand you can open a non-margin
account with a minimum of $500 with Ameritrade.
Information on various brokers are available from the
sources quoted above on the Hannaian website. For example
you can open an account with SureTrade for $200. There
are many factors which ultimately determine which broker
you use. As you become familiar with the process you will
pick one suitable to your personal needs.
- At some point in the future if not
right at the outset you will want to pay some attention
as to whether you will open an account that will provide
some type of asset protection against creditors and
lawsuits. Accounts can be opened as joint accounts,
limited family partnerships, corporate accounts, trusts
etc., These are very important considerations and should
be undertaken with professional legal and accounting
advice based on your personal situation. When possible it
is best to evaluate this at the beginning, but in order
to get started right away you may plan to do this later
since these processes may take some time to
procure.
- Either send by mail or wire your
initial deposit to fund the account. We recommend wiring
the funds directly from your bank, but mailing a personal
check is also okay.
- For public acquisition purposes
provide some structure or habit to funding your account
regularly. Even if your funds are small a regular deposit
to the cash reserves in your account is an important
tool. Remember its not the amount of money you have
available that counts. It's the availability of some
funds that's important.
- At the time you are ready to make
your stock purchases you would either call the discount
broker or place the order directly over the Internet. We
recommend that you place your first purchases by
telephone to get familiar with the process before you
begin placing orders directly over the
Internet.
- Review the stocks researched and
reported in the Hannaian Stock Research Focus. Study and
fully understand the rating system and its basis. You
should probably use the listings in this report to
initially find stocks to invest in until you feel
comfortable in researching stocks on your
own.
- Research other stocks you may be
interested in by using the Stock Research Tools page.
Read specifically the article on researching stocks on
the Investment Research Center menu.
- Stock screens may initially be used
to identify potential stocks in the ranges you are
seeking. This can then be followed by looking at other
research available on the Internet about the stock. The
fundamentals can be researched through Yahoo, Quicken and
other reporting sites. The SEC filings can also be
evaluated.
- The Intellectual Property holdings of
the companies should then be fully evaluated based on
principles espoused in the article "Understanding &
Valuing Intellectual Properties."
- A review of the message boards at
Yahoo, Quicken Raging Bull and others may be informative
but be careful not to rely on comments you read in
message boards.
- The Stock Research Tool Page contains
numerous references and links to research sources, over a
period of time you will end up using ones you become
familiar with since many of them give the same type of
information. You will find that some of them will be
better for some types of research than others and you
should make notes as to which ones to use, when and for
what. Stay tuned to the various articles and newsletters
and the stock research tools menu for updated Hannaian
comments on these various research tools. These comments
will be updated as necessary to assist you with changes
as they become relevant.
- Contact the Hannaian Stock Research
team to seek research on particular stock, or to report
research on I.P. stocks you feel may have
potential.
- Build a portfolio (group) of stocks
which you will follow, invest, and trade in. Try to
invest and trade in more than just one stock.
Diversification among several stocks allows additional
safety from losses, and also increases the opportunities
to participate in price growth and benefits from several
stocks.
- Diversify your portfolio, not just
for safety purposes but for opportunity purposes. Stocks
go up and down daily. If you have your money spread on
several stocks you have increased opportunity to have
gains in some of them every day. Based on your ultimate
strategy and circumstances this diversification for
opportunity purposes will allow you to regularly have
some stocks always in the money. You can then develop
your trading strategy to buy and sell to produce a
regular and consistent cash flow. Allocate your available
monies wisely with this concept in mind. Remember do not
spread your investments too thin since you must make
allowances for brokerage and trading expenses which have
to ultimately be covered by the profits you generate.
Particularly when starting your public trading operations
expose no more than 20% of your portfolio in any one
stock. The only reason to even expose this much is that
for small accounts under $1000 you need to have enough
invested to cover the trading commissions. As your
portfolio grows in value you will expose even less of it
on any one issue.
- Use Medved Quote Tracker or other
stock tracking software to facilitate the tracking and
following of stocks you are buying or following. These
tracking software programs are available from the Stock
Research Tools Menu.
Current
Recommendation
Medved Quote Tracker
It
can be downloaded from the Hannaian Stock Tools
Page.
- Seek professional and other competent
advice from others operating a stock trading and
investment business when unsure or when additional
assistance seems prudent. Call your Hannaian sponsor or
the Hannaian office or a Hannaian publisher already
involved and familiar with public I.P.
acquisitions.
- Remember to operate like a business.
Like any other business to be successful you must spend
enough time, effort and resources. Researching,
acquiring, and following I.P. stocks must be worked as
you would operate any other business you expect to make
significant profits from. Do not expect success unless
you put in the requisite time and effort.
- The
recommendations made in this cook book approach to
setting up your Public I.P. acquisitions are made simply
to help you get started quickly. You may want to change
these recommendations based on your experiences and
personal situation after you become familiar with public
I.P. acquisitions.
