			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What is a Mutual Fund?</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The idea behind <strong>a mutual fund</strong> is simple: Many people pool their money in a fund, which invests in various securities. Each investor shares proportionately in the fund&#8217;s investment returns &#8212; the income (dividends or interest) paid on the securities and any capital gains or losses caused by sales of securities the fund holds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Every mutual fund has a manager, also called an investment adviser, who directs the fund&#8217;s investments according to the fund&#8217;s objective, such as long-term growth, high current income, or stability of principal. Depending on its objective, a fund may invest in stocks, bonds, cash investments, or a combination of these financial assets.</p>
<h3>Growth and Value Funds Explained</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Growth Funds</strong><br />
As their name implies, these funds tend to look for the fastest-growing companies on the market. Growth managers are willing to take more risk and pay a premium for their stocks in an effort to build a portfolio of companies with above-average earnings momentum or price appreciation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For example, <strong>Dell</strong> and <strong>Microsoft </strong>are generally considered &#8220;expensive&#8221; stocks, because their prices have been bid high relative to their profits. But because they enjoy vibrant markets and have rapid earnings growth, managers like Scott Schoelzel of<strong> Janus Twenty</strong> have no qualms paying big prices.                       Schoelzel knows that investors crave these super-charged growth stocks and will keep piling into them                       as long as the growth keeps up. But if the growth slows, watch out &#8212; the more momentum a stock                       has, the harder it is likely to fall when the news turns bad.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That&#8217;s why growth funds are the most volatile of the three investment styles. It&#8217;s also why expenses                       and turnover (which leads to tax liability) are also higher. For these reasons, only aggressive investors,                       or those with enough time to make up for short-term market losses, should buy these spooky funds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Value Funds</strong><br />
These funds like to invest in companies that the market has overlooked. Managers like Marty Whitman                       of Third Avenue Value search for stocks that have become &#8220;undervalued&#8221; &#8212; or priced low relative to their                       earnings potential.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes a stock has run into a short-term problem that will eventually be fixed and forgotten. Or                       maybe the company is too small or obscure to attract much notice. In any event, the manager makes                       a judgment that there&#8217;s more potential there than the market has recognized. His bet is that the price                       will rise as others come around to the same conclusion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whitman, for instance, bought real-estate insurance company First American Financial early in 1997                       before it was discovered by the Street. The stock rose 96% in 1998 and still traded at just 9.5 times                       the past 12-month earnings &#8212; a steal when you consider the market average at the time was more like                       22 times earnings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The big risk with value funds is that the &#8220;undiscovered gems&#8221; they try to spot sometimes remain undiscovered. That can depress results for extended periods of time. Volatility, however, is quite low, and if you choose a good fund, the risk of doggy returns should be minimal. Also, because these fund managers tend to buy stocks and hold them until they turn around, expenses and turnover are low. Add it up, and value funds are most suitable for more conservative, tax-averse investors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Blend Funds</strong><br />
These can go across the board. They might, for instance, invest in both high-growth Internet stocks and                       cheaply priced automotive companies. As such, they are difficult to classify in terms of risk. The                       Vanguard 500 Index fund invests in every company in the S&amp;P 500 and could therefore qualify as a                       blend. But because it&#8217;s also a large-cap fund, it tends to be steady. The Legg Mason Special                       Investment fund is more aggressive, with heavy weightings in technology and financials. In order to                       determine if a particular blend fund is right for your needs, you&#8217;ll probably have to look at the fund&#8217;s                       holdings and make a call.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.goldenstatetheband.com/investing/mutual-funds/working-capital-one-of-the-many-programs-fueling-growth" target="_self"><strong>Working capital</strong></a> refers to the amount of assets available for use towards the acquisition of additional assets. It is used to gauge a company&#8217;s financial health, and whether it can operate at an efficient manner. The working capital can be computed by using this formula: Working Capital = Current Assets &#8211; Current Liabilities.</p>
<p>To ascertain the value of current assets, liquidity must also be considered. A liquid asset typically can be sold quickly without losing much of its value. If it cannot be converted to cash in an effective manner, then it loses its value as capital as the money cannot be spent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Currents assets are derived from accounts receivable and inventory. Account receivable refers to the amount owed to a company from customers. This is the money obtained from providing a particular good or service to that customer. Inventory, on the other hand, refers to the goods in their possession. Current liabilities are derived from account payable. This refers to the money a company owes to the supplier of a good or service. These are the costs incurred for running the business. An example of this would be an electric bill or a water bill.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Based on the formula, a higher working capital is obtained from an increase in the current assets or a decrease in the current liabilities. For current assets to increase, this means that the company is able to generate a good amount of money from the services and goods rendered to their customers. A decrease in current liabilities typically means that the cost of running the business is reduced, which leads to an increase in the overall profitability of the company.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A company operating with positive working capital means that they are able to meet the payment requirements of their current liabilities. This is an indicator of the company&#8217;s current standing. If the working capital is negative, it means that they are unable to pay off current liabilities. This causes the company to incur some debt.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is important to maintain a positive working capital. Paying off loans is important so as to avoid getting into deeper levels of debt. If the working capital is negative for a long period of time, it is a sign that there are problems within the company. Changes must be made such that a positive working capital can be achieved. It is an indicator of the companys efficiency and is used to determine whether a substantial loan can be approved.</p>
