Barvetii International Wealth Consultants points out that US blue chips are at their cheapest quantities to bonds since 1951 and considers this signifies an massive possibility for option traders. US large cap stocks stand for an excellent opportunity to buy the most effective quality companies worldwide at extremely low prices.

Exxon Mobil is a perfect illustration of a undervalued but quality enterprise. Previously this quarter the stock hit a year low and was trading lower than it was throughout the financial crisis of Autumn 2008.

Exxon has a yield greater than the 10-year Treasury bond, trades at a multiple well below the market, has returns on capital above the market, and has grown the dividend over 9% per year for the past five years, said Barvetii International Wealth Consultants, Madrid, Spain.

In sharp contrast, five year Treasury bonds are trading at their lowest yields in history, while 10-year Treasuries are yielding 2.93%.

Despite all these factors, Barvetii points out that investors are seemingly not showing much in the way of logic. What they want is Treasuries and what they dont want is Exxon Mobil and other US stocks with similar characteristics.

Madrid, Spain -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/24/2010 -- Shedding financial secrets boosts employee loyalty and productivity By Elizabeth Blackwell.

Most small-business owners have an open-door policy. When you've only got a few employees, holing up alone in an executive suite isn't an option. But being truly open about the state of the business is another matter, and when it comes to sensitive financial information -- such as how much your company made (or lost) last year -- owners prefer to keep mum.

Why Your Business Should Be an Open Book: Barvetii Wealth Consultants - Why? A management approach known as "open book" has been gaining popularity by advocating the opposite approach. In its most simplistic form, it means literally opening the books: letting all employees see the company's financial statements, so they know exactly where you stand.

But shedding the secrecy surrounding profits is just the first step. Having the knowledge is one thing; it's what your employees do with that knowledge that really matters.

Any employee can be taught how to read a balance sheet or profit and loss statement, says Wayne Baker, a professor of management and organizations at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. "If that's all you do, you haven't given people the tools to take action," he says. "Financials don't provide information in a form that's actionable."

Another problem with focusing solely on finances is that you're looking at the past rather than the future. "Financial statements tell you the history of a company, but not where you're going," Baker says. "It's like driving down the street only looking in the rearview mirror."

The father of the open-book movement, Jack Stack, first put the theory into practice as CEO of Springfield Remanufacturing in the early 1980s. (Stack's principles have since been spun off into a coaching and training company, The Great Game of Business). Studies have shown that companies using the approach achieve better performance and productivity compared with those that don't.

Barvetii Wealth Consultants - As a comprehensive approach, open book management depends on three key principles, all of which have parallels to the sports world (hence, the "game" of business):

1.-Leaders must know and teach the rules of their business. That means showing employees what makes the company profitable and explaining how and why resources are allocated. On a winning football team, everyone knows the plays, but in the business world, employees often get much less information than managers.
2.-Leaders and workers must keep score. Assessing how you're doing is not just about hitting a certain sales target. Workers need to see exactly how their day-to-day decisions affect the bottom line. There needs to be a system in place that constantly gives workers feedback, rather than a single annual review.
3.-Everyone needs to share in the rewards. All the players on a winning football team get a Superbowl ring -- not just the quarterback who threw a great pass. For an open-book approach to work, everyone must have a stake in the outcome.
It's a big cultural shift for many companies, and one that can take years to integrate completely. To test the approach on a smaller scale, consider a "mini game": a short-term incentive plan to solve a particular problem.
First, put together a team to work on the issue, then apply the three principles: What are the "rules" of this issue? What can be done or can't be done to solve it? Next, agree on a method for measuring improvement. Finally, decide what the goal is and the timeframe, and set a reward for the group on completion.

As an example, Baker cites one of his recent business classes. The students decided they would get more out of the class if more people took part in discussions. As a group, they worked on ways to encourage participation and determined a scoring system. "They took ownership of their learning experience," he says. When the students achieved their goal, they claimed their reward: a party at Baker's house.

Running an open-book company is about financial transparency, but operational transparency is just as important. All employees know exactly how their everyday tasks affect the overall business. When it works, it can boosts employees' loyalty and productivity.
But there's also another often overlooked benefit for owners: it creates a community of problem solvers, all motivated to make your company better.

"You don't have to carry the whole weight of the business on your shoulders," Baker says. "The rewards are shared, but so is the stress."

Madrid, Spain -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/23/2010 -- Barvetii International Wealth Consultants is always looking to invest in entrepreneurs that have the correct attitude and skills needed when starting out in a new venture. When jobs are scarce, franchise ownership can seem appealing, but prospective franchisees should weigh the pros and cons.

Barvetii Wealth Consultants - For many years now, one of the key questions facing prospective franchisees has been which is better for them: a job or a franchise. It is often a difficult decision because there are pros and cons to each option.

Today's market has introduced a new wrinkle to this question, as many unemployed people are finding that the only way they can find work is by accepting "underemployment." Underemployment has always occurred to some degree whenever the economy comes out of a recession. When there are numerous seekers for every job offering, employers tend to increase qualification requirements and lower compensation. It's simply a reflection of the law of supply and demand.

As soon as enough people get back to work, the number of applicants is reduced and market forces tend to correct the situation. This usually happens fairly rapidly during a recovery, because most recessions end with a significant surge of new economic activity and job creation.

But today's market seems to be quite different in this critical area. We've all been told for some time now that the recession has ended. We've also heard the term "jobless recovery" used repeatedly in the media. Without debating whether there is any such thing as a jobless recovery, there's no doubt that this recovery seems stuck in a position where underemployment rules the day. We are seeing increased economic activity, but not a significant surge in job creation. In many cases, unemployed people are accepting positions that pay considerably less than they made previously, that do not offer benefits, or that are only temporary contract positions.

In this climate, the question of whether to choose a job over a franchise changes, because the arguments, both pro and con, shift considerably.

Barvetii Wealth Consultants - The greatest advantage of a job has always been the perception of lower risk. The usual assumption is that a job guarantees a good income in exchange for a well-defined work effort, with little risk of losing the job unless the employee decides to quit. Most people are naturally attracted to the promise of economic safety.

But times have changed and these assumptions need to be reevaluated. If the compensation and benefits are lowered significantly, or if the continuation of the position is in doubt, the safety normally associated with choosing the job option is considerably lessened. In this market, many people are coming to believe that what they once viewed as the safe option is in fact little more than an illusion.

The advantages of a franchise, on the other hand, have always been threefold. First, it is assumed that the business will produce a significant income, though the owner will typically have to work very hard building the business before this income becomes a reality. Second, the business will create wealth through excess cash flow, and this wealth can be realized someday through the sale of the business. Third, there are significant tax advantages available to franchise owners that are not available to regular employees.

Once again, changing times mean these assumptions may no longer be so reliable. Many businesses are struggling and even failing in today's marketplace. Some franchises that were considered safe and dependable investments three years ago have now become high risk ventures.

Barvetii Wealth Consultants - Though the advantages of franchise ownership can still hold true in today's market, a prospective franchisee needs to be far more careful in selecting the right opportunity. The adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure applies more than ever when it comes to investigating and choosing a franchise. Verify all your assumptions and make sure you determine exactly how the business has done during these hard times. Taking the time to do this right can pay huge dividends to a new franchisee.

For a person who uses this level of care in the investigation process, the safer and more secure course may in fact be a franchise business rather than a job. The reality of chronic underemployment in this recovery has become the game changer for many who are evaluating their plans for the future -- and encouraging more and more of them to take their own shot at the American Dream.
