Expand Your Pool of Investors for Your Company
If you own a company that sells complicated products and you want more investors, consider having topics on your web site that discuss the background needed to understand your products and your company. For example, if your company specializes in producing and researching monoclonal antibodies, post articles discussing exactly what monoclonal antibodies are, how they are produced and what research your company is engaged in. In some cases, it may be a good idea to work with an outside writer, one who can explain the information in layman's terms. Provide links to other sites discussing your industry. For example, a pharmaceutical company could provide a link to a web site discussing how clinical trials work. Suggest books to read. For example, a biotechnology company can suggest potential investors read The Biotech Investor: How to Profit from the Coming Boom in Biotechnology by Tom Abate. Look over your annual report. How many terms may be confusing to readers? Many annual reports use terms known only in the industry. While you may not want to discuss every term you use in your annual report, you can direct potential investors to visit your web site to access a glossary. Granted, many of your investors and potential investors will be very knowledgeable in your field. However, you are looking to expand your pool of investors. The more a person understands about a company, the more he or she will be inclined to invest in that company. You just have to look at the most popular stocks to see that in most cases, what these companies do is understandable to most investors. Heather L.

Firstly -- our Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, addressed the effects and implications of our aging population on things such as Social Security again in a speech that he made last Friday. Readers may remember that I also briefly mentioned this issue in my June 24th commentary. I urge you to keep this worldwide phenomenon of the aging population firmly on the back of your minds. If you are like most people, then you earn you living by producing a certain thing ? such as a consumer good, or a service that the masses want. Let's face it ? how many people really "struck it rich" by being pure traders or investment managers? The stock market and other financial markets are definitely very important to us investors/traders but this "super secular trend" of the aging of the worldwide population will impact every aspect of our lives, whether it is losing our relative competitiveness on the world arena, increasing pension and healthcare costs, or even a potential fundamental change of our political system.
