What's best business to invest in?

xlr8 — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:50:52 +0800

Hi all,

I have came across this question in my mind. What is the best thing to invest in, when you have low capital. When you have low capital, means you can't take a big risk, as the capital you have is what you got. Therefore, have to think twice.

I would like to hear from you. Success or failure, it doesn't matter. What matters most is you have tried.

As for me, I'm still starting as a young entrepreneur. Starting with my home based business, so I have more free time to do my own thing, such as hang out with friends, and so on. I was hesitated for quite a long time. Cos I wanted to have my own business, but I was not sure what I really want. Therefore, questioning around to seek for advices, research on what I have to do, and so on... And I'm not a good risk taker. I'm afraid to lose too much if I failed. I have thought of investment, properties and so on... If I don't have much, I may have borrow loan. But still, the risk is high. What if, I don't have enough to pay back? Finally, I have chose to have a home based business, because I love to have more free time to accompany my loved ones, and also enjoy my life while I can. I don't want my whole life having fear of loan shark or something. Lol...

So here's a short story of mine. Let's hear about yours?

Success or failure doesn't matter. We are here to share our own experience, so that we are able to warn others (ready-to-be-entrepreneur) to be aware of what they are doing, and their decision

So Yea I open this topic for discussion. Hope that I am able to give some advice to those who wanted to have their own business, but with a low capital, and also have more experience sharing with the experienced.

Cholestrol is not the cause of heart disease

Dear All,

I have just read about this article. It would be an interesting news for you about the real truth of Cholesterol that the medical professionals and the pharmaceuticals companies did not wish to tell us, so that they can sell tons of statin drugs to the ignorant people for pure huge profits! Would like to share this would you.

Cholesterol is NOT the Cause of Heart Disease

By Ron Rosedale, MD

Cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease or any disease. If it becomes oxidized it can irritate/inflame tissues in which it is lodged in, such as the endothelium (lining of the arteries). This would be one of numerous causes of chronic inflammation that can injure the lining of arteries. However, many good fats are easily oxidized such as omega-3 fatty acids, but it does not mean that you should avoid it at all costs.

Common sense would indicate that we should avoid the oxidation (rancidity) of cholesterol and fatty acids and not get rid of important life-giving molecules. Using the same conventional medical thinking that is being used for cholesterol would lead one to believe that doctors should reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by taking out everybody's brain.

In fact, cholesterol is being transported to tissues as part of an inflammatory response that is there to repair damage.

The fixation on cholesterol as a major cause of heart disease defies the last 15 years of science and deflects from real causes such as the damage (via glycation) that sugars such as glucose and fructose inflict on tissues, including the lining of arteries, causing chronic inflammation and resultant plaque.
