Recommended: Investing in real estate

Hello,

If I were ready to make the leap and start my own company I would start up an investing in real estate company. I do not believe this is an entrepreneurial idea. As we may all have seen there are many different T.V shows in regards to this very idea. I have already considered this idea. If I could be freed from my current obligation at St. Francis Hospital I would devote time to start my business.
I have actually already put a lot of thought into this business. I recently enroll in a brokers real estate class and will have to take my brokers exam. Once upon completion of both course and exam I have thought about becoming a realtor part time. I would primarily become an independent contractor and work for a real estate office

  • The Bernard Madoff Investment Scandal

    2631 Words  | 6 Pages

    Bernard Madoff had full control of the organizational leadership of Bernard Madoff Investments Securities LLC. Madoff used charisma to convince his friends, members of elite groups, and his employees to believe in him. He tricked his clients into believing that they were investing in something special. He would often turn potential investors down, which helped Bernard in targeting the investors with more money to invest. Bernard Madoff created a system which promised high returns in the short term and was nothing but the Ponzi scheme. The system’s idea relied on funds from the new investors to pay misrepresented and extremely high returns to existing investors. He was doing this for years; convincing wealthy individuals and charities to invest billions of dollars into his hedge fund. And they did so because of the extremely high returns, which were promised by Madoff’s firm. If anyone would have looked deeply into the structure of his firm, it would have definitely shown that something is wrong. This is because nobody can make such big money in the market, especially if no one else could at the time. How could one person, Madoff, hold all of his clients’ assets, price them, and manage them? It is clearly a conflict of interest. His company was showing high profits year after year; despite most of the companies in the market having losses. In fact, Bernard Madoff’s case is absolutely stunning when you consider the range and number of investors who got caught up in it.

    In US history, one of the most widely used ways different eras are split up are by president, making these political figures more widely known than most other Americans throughout time. While this is true, most presidents (with the exception of Franklin Roosevelt) have only between two and eight years to make an impression for the rest of history. Thanks to this fact, some presidents will forever be idolized by Americans, and others will merely be the butt of all jokes for historians.

    Milton Friedman’s view is that in a capitalist economy, there is one and only one responsibility of business: to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits. Business does not have a social responsibility to promote desirable social ends. A corporation is an artificial person. The corporate executive is the agent of the individuals who own the business and their main responsibility is to them. The directors of companies have a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of the shareholders. The managers are agents of the shareholders and therefore have a moral obligation to manage the firm in the interest of the shareholders, which obviously is to make as much money as possible and maximize shareholder wealth. The shareholders are the owners of the organization and therefore the profits belong to them. In conclusion, Friedman believes that business is to maximize profits. He suggested a healthy corporation has to be not only ethically good, but also being economically good. Overall, as he stated in the article, business must gain profit without break the rules of game (D. Murphy, Class Lecture, January 17, 2014)
