FAQs….Frequently Asked Questions about the Hannaian Investment & Publishing Group (H.I.P.G.) and its Business Opportunity Programs.


Question: 1. What is the Hannaian Investment & Publishing Group (H.I.P.G.)?
Answer 1. The Hannaian Investment & Publishing Group is an entrepreneurial Group owned and operated by the Hannaian Publishing Company. The Group offers several benefits which assist and improve the efficiency of existing businesses. In addition the Group provides support and assistance for those wanting to start and operate an Intellectual Property Acquisitions, Investment & Publishing business.

H.I.P.G. is essentially a group of entrepreneurs & professional investors who participate as a team in entrepreneural activities and investments centered around the research and acquisition of Intellectual Properties in the public securities markets, and in the private markets.

The Hannaian Intellectual Property Stock Research & Investment System (H.I.P.S.R.I.S.) is designed for individuals who operate the public acquisitions of Intellectual Properties as a business rather than as a traditional investment program. The emphasis is on the investor/trader taking the ultimate responsibility of researching, acquiring and marketing Intellectual Properties himself. The system is designed to offer a business opportunity to the average man or woman to establish themselves financially and to allow them to participate in the economic process which makes America great. A primary objective is to educate and empower individuals so that they will recognize and achieve the means to gain financial success as independently as possible.

The philosophy of H.I.P.S. Investing & Trading is basically long term investments with trading in particular situations to maximize profits and to provide regular income. Hannaian publishing affiliates should always remember that the H.I.P.S. Investment and Trading system is not a comprehensive stock investment and trading service. The H.I.P.S. service was specifically developed to assist Hannaian publishing affiliates in the public acquisitions of Intellectual Properties (I.P.s). As such it is a very narrow and specialized approach to stock investing and trading, and designed for this specific purpose. There are many other ways to be involved with the trading and investment of public securities, but the H.I.P.S. system occupies its own little niche, the acquisition of valuable Intellectual Properties. This point should always be remembered and adhered to.


Question 2: What Business Opportunities are available through membership in the Hannaian Investment & Publishing Group ?
Answer 2. Members of the Group receive support services which assist them in setting up and operating an Intellectual Property Acquisitions & Publishing Business.

  • The I.P. Acquisition business allows full participation in all of the benefits and Royalty Profit Sharing programs offered by the Group. This business opportunity provides support for the acquisition of privately held Intellectual Properties, and publicly traded stock in Intellectual Property based companies
  • The Ultimate Business - Buying into Already Successful Businesses
    A major part of the philosophy of the H.I.P.S. Investment System is the notion that the ultimate business is the business of buying into other successful or potentially successful businesses. In addition the philosophy requires sticking to what you know and becoming specialized in it. Many successful investors, Warren Buffet, Charles Schwab etc. have espoused this philosophy and taken this approach. The simplest way to accomplish this is through the long term investment in the publicly traded securities of these companies. Another way of looking at it is to consider the alternative of starting your own generic business and having to put all the time, effort and resources into making it successful. The statistics of starting your own successful business are extremely low (See the Hannaian Training Guide "Private vs. Public Investments"). Buying into potentially or already successful businesses allows you to participate in the success of the business. It is as easy as purchasing your share of their publicly traded stock. You exercise your greatest legal right in business, the right to purchase of a piece of an already successful business when and where you desire, and no one can stop you but yourself.

    The H.I.P.S.I.S. approach is based on the natural course of events that occur in business development. Businesses almost always start small before they grow large and successful. Our philosophy is to find the Intellectual Property rich companies in their early or rebuilding stages, buy into them and benefit from their major move into the ranks of the successful. This approach affords the following:

    .......The potential for explosive growth.
    .......Access to small price stock which allows small budget investors to effectively maneuver in the public securities markets without resorting to the additional risks of playing in the options and derivative markets.
    .......Increased amount of security and insulation from the risks associated with large cap or market sensitive stocks. 


    Question 3. What types of membership are available and at what cost?
    Answer 3. The Group has one major classification of Affiliates called Publisher membership. Publisher membership, cost $225 for registration for the first year of support services. Publisher Affiliates may participate in all benefit and Publishing Venture programs.

    Definition of the Term "Publisher" as used in the Hannaian System
    Publishers are entrepreneurs whose business involves acquiring the proprietary rights in a product or production, preparing it in various forms for introduction or publishing to a target. The target market can be private or public. Publishing intrinsically involves the acquisition and marketing of the primary Intellectual Properties (I.P.s.), copyrights, trademarks, servicemarks, patents and industrial secrets. In modern economies publishing is also greatly dependent on the secondary forms of Intellectual Properties in the form of licenses to use or convey the primary I.P.s..

    To effectively accomplish this mission a publisher must be skilled at many things. first the publisher must be an excellent researcher to discover the valuable opportunities within his desired field of activity. By necessity a publisher must also be a consummate investor who searches out opportunities and invests his time and resources. His investment skills are essential because without them he must become the ultimate creator of all of the original Intellectual Properties he seeks to possess. No one publisher can effectively be the creator of all he aspires to publish and therefore he must invest in the creations of others in order to compete and be successful in the various publishing industries. A publisher must therefore be the ultimate deal maker because in acquiring the proprietary rights he needs to operate. He must understand how to negotiate and trade in his desired field of investment activity. He must be skilled at negotiating and trading in order to be a successful investor. The publisher however, is far more than an investor who simply invests and does not actively participate in the development of a product. A publisher participates in the development of the product. He must be a visionary to understand, prepare and shape the products he discovers into a marketable entity or entities. A publisher must be adept at marketing. The publisher must also be able to develop or access some means of distributing and or retailing the product. Finally a successful publisher must be the ultimate collaborator. Collaboration is essential within the modern economy where mergers and acquisitions abound, and national borders, geographical and other impediments to trade are fast disappearing. A publisher is therefore at one and the same time, many things to many people. He is in effect the ultimate businessman.

    Usually people think of publishers as being associated with literary matters, books, magazines etc.. However in modern times the term has been used to define a myriad of activities encompassing various aspects of the definition above. Music publishers have been around almost as long as literary publishers. In more modern times the software developer or publisher has been recognized and has become perhaps the most financially successful of all. Now we have Internet publishers.

    The Hannaian publishing system has taken all of these aspects into fold and embraced the concept of publishing in its most generic sense. A Hannaian Publisher is all of the above including the publishing of any product or invention encompassing proprietary processes and rights which are capable of being a valuable commodity in the modern marketplace.
