Paperback. Condizione: New. The Defensive Global Consumer Franchise Stocks Theme offers a balanced alternative between the higher risks associated with general equity investing and the safety of risk-free government bonds.Companies in the theme own many iconic brands, such as Coca-Cola, Colgate, Listerine, Cadbury, Gillette, Head and Shoulders, Guinness, Heineken, Nescafe, Dove, Vaseline, and Ben and Jerry's. Their sales and profits tend to be defensive during recessions, because they are essential items, or affordable luxuries. Because they are low-ticket, everyday, repeat purchases, their sales and profits tend to be predictable. And, finally, because they are irreplaceable in consumers' minds, they can often raise prices without losing customers.Defensive, predictable, and inflation-resistant sales and profits - such enviable attributes! What better way for the risk-averse investor, who nonetheless wants a reasonable return on their capital, to invest. …

Paperback. Condizione: New. This booklet was written by Darren Gillen, research analyst at GillenMarkets, and is aimed at the reader who is interested in learning about the various ways to invest in property. Buying a property is a common way for retail investors to invest their savings, and this is particularly the case in Ireland. Bricks and mortar are tangible and easily understood, while the stock market appears to many to be mystifying and volatile. As is often the case in investing, misconceptions abound. Direct property investing is riskier than many assume, and property investing through the stock market is less risky than popular perceptions would have you believe. This booklet aims to give you a more nuanced understanding of property investing, the key drivers of returns and how to invest in property through the stock market. A sound plan for investing in property that mitigates the key risks is the ticket to attractive returns. We hope that this booklet serves as a reliable guide in that regard.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Gold is money, and its durability, density, consistency and limited new supplies have resulted in it being the only currency to have acted as a true store of value over the millennia. This booklet was written by Rory Gillen, founder of GillenMarkets and author of 3 Steps to Investment Success, published in 2012. It outlines the physical characteristics of gold that underpin its use as jewellery and, more recently, in complex industrial applications. As gold yields no income, it cannot be valued in a conventional sense, so the booklet offers guidance on how to judge gold's intrinsic value and how one can value gold relative to other hard assets such as US house prices. The booklet also introduces you to three separate and highly useful technical indicators that provide a risk-controlled way of determining when gold is worth buying. All three indicators have outperformed a 'Buy and Hold' gold strategy since 1968 by wide margins. Finally, there's a discussion on the merits or otherwise of bitcoin, which some argue is the new digital gold.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The surest way to obtain the superior returns that stock markets have delivered in the past is to be an owner of "assets", either through a diversified selection of individual companies or through funds. However, not everyone has the patience or, indeed, the time to be a 'Buy and Hold' investor. Technical analysis is the study of price movements or price action in markets in an attempt to determine their likely future direction. Quite simply, if the direction is likely upwards, an investor who is timing the markets will want to be invested and if the likely direction is downwards, the investor will want to exit. Written by Rory Gillen, founder of GillenMarkets and author of 3 Steps to Investment Success, published in 2012, this booklet aims to provide readers with an understanding of how to time the markets and highlights a couple of successful technical indicators to market timing that we have followed over the years.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Learning how to save and invest is not a luxury, it is a crucial part of our lives, and if you want to achieve financial freedom, you need to be more informed. That we learn little about even the basics of saving and investing in school or university is part of the problem. Written by Rory Gillen, founder of GillenMarkets and author of 3 Steps to Investment Success, published in 2012, this booklet outlines why the stock markets and property have delivered the best returns over the long-term, how to define and mitigate the major economic risks and the difference between investing and speculating. It also makes a crucial distinction between the risks faced by the regular investor and the lump-sum investor, outlines a sound investment plan for each and shows you how to get started.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Squash is not just a game; it also builds independence. As with any sport approached properly and with concentration, one has to be independent in that area, because it's ruthless. You have to stand on your own two feet entirely. Basically it's the individual down there in the pit who has to promote himself or herself, and persevere, and learn all kinds of little things that are character-building.The average person playing squash on a social basis, or as a serious hobby, can treat the game as a mental and physical therapy and not as a matter of life or death. Although almost everyone has an inherent competitive instinct, there is not the same necessity to be successful and the enjoyment factor can and should be more overt. The game is very much the thing and winning then becomes an important part of the whole, but not the crux of the matter.But for the professional squash player - indeed, any professional sportsperson - the marvellous enjoyment derived from playing is only exceeded at the moment of triumph. That, and the moment of defeat, are the two real moments of truth: of exhilaration on the one hand and despair on the other, when one realizes that all the preparatory punishment and self-denial have or have not been enough.Jonah Barrington looks to the mental side of squash, to the talents you cannot see, but which divide the champion squash player from the also-ran. They are described alliteratively, so that you can remember them: Fire, Fitness, Fastness, Feel, Force, Fibre, Fear, Flair and Faith - the Nine Points of the Lore.And, in an extra chapter in this new edition of MURDER IN THE SQUASH COURT, Jonah Barrington re-visits his prediction in the Foreword of the 1982 edition that Jahangir Khan's victory over Geoffrey Hunt in the World Open in Toronto in November 1981 would allow the remarkable 17-year-old rival to march on to take the British Open in the following spring. Barrington records Jahangir's journey - but the gifted teenager was just commencing his journey and would take that coveted title for 10 extraordinary consecutive years.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Sports clubs and voluntary organisations, in many cases, have become large and complex entities with strong membership numbers and significant budgets. Yet they are still operated by people who are essentially volunteers and, although they do so with the best motivations, far too often they are not equipped to deal with many of the areas in which they are involved. IT'S YOUR CLUB!, based on many years of practical experience of club committees, boards of directors and national councils, addresses many of the situations that cause problems for the officers of such clubs. It covers all aspects of the administration that supports the operation of the various functions of the club, explaining aspects of committees and their roles, the roles of the main officers, the importance of governance, the advantages of strategic planning, how leadership and management play different roles and how current legislation, such as child protection, affects the modern voluntary organisation.The political, economic and social environment in which sports clubs now operate has changed significantly and clubs need to adapt to ensure that they not only survive but are equipped to facilitate change and further development. IT'S YOUR CLUB! provides the definitive text on the leadership and management of sports clubs and will give club officers the confidence to make decisions vital to their club's viability. …

Hardback. Condizione: New. The aim of this book is to demonstrate that becoming a successful do-it-yourself (DIY) investor is within the reach of almost every person in society. Saving or investing in the stock markets is for everyone - from parents with the children's allowance, to someone who has a lump sum to invest, to the person who has just started working but can save even aC--100 a month, to someone who is free to manage their own pension. Building an asset base from which you can earn income gives you choices later in life. The aim is that, when you close this book, you should be able to implement an easy-to-follow approach to investing in the stock markets, whilst minimising risk. No matter what level of experience you are starting from, this book is aimed at assisting you to obtain the returns on offer from the markets over time. Arming yourself with a proper strategy or plan, which dictates what you buy and when you sell, is the key to stock market investing, and developing one is a good deal easier than you may think.That plan might be simply to invest across the different asset classes where there appears to be clear value on offer; to concentrate on high yielding funds listed on stock markets as a method of generating income, while controlling risk; or to master some successful approach to stock selection. 3 Steps to Investment Success offers an easy-to-follow mechanical approach to selecting a diversified portfolio of stocks from the UK FTSE 100 Index, an index that represents the 100 largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange by market capitalisation. You will learn also how to invest in the stock market indirectly through listed funds, such as exchange-traded funds and investment companies, which offer instant diversification, allowing you to more easily control risk. And 3 Steps to Investment Success includes a short story, A Villa in the Sun by Virginia Gilbert, a BAFTA-nominated, award-winning writer and director, to drive home the often real consequences of speculating in markets rather than investing.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Almost everyone agrees that discipline is key to success but the Irish say it best: Ní bhíonn an rath, ach mara mbíonn an smacht (There's no success without discipline)."Almost everyone also agrees that, while they love the concept, they hate the word 'discipline'.SMACHT (pronounced smocht) is the Irish word for discipline or control or mastery. It is also an acronym for six areas where improved discipline can lead to increased business and personal results. These are:Strategy: The discipline of conscious choice and focus.Marketing: The discipline of attracting and retaining customers.Attitude: The discipline of living the best version of yourself.Cash: The discipline of becoming financially free.Human Beings: The discipline of attracting and retaining great people.Time: The discipline of living life to the full.This book illustrates the power of SMACHT, through a series of stories about a fictional character, Reilly - part business guru, part philosopher and part rogue. Whether you read about the ultimate formula for business success, paradigm shifts, living life like a buffalo, flying first class, or working on salary or commission or indeed any of the 52 stories, some will bring a smile to your face, others a tear to your eye - the important thing is that they make you act.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. A Teacher's Handbook on Global Citizenship Education in the Post-primary Classroom is written by teachers for teachers. It seeks to support those new to the profession, as well as those who are already experienced in post-primary school and further education settings. It is designed to sustain these professionals in their important - relational and pedagogical - work with children and young adults. It comprises 10 scaffolded lessons, that provide exemplars of how Global Citizenship Education can be taught and learned effectively. The first lesson is centred on exploring the foundational discipline of Global Citizenship Education. Each subsequent lesson focuses on a global theme and on creative ways to critically engage students in their own learning about the world.These global themes include: Our own identity; Belonging; Inter-relationships; Stereotypes; Migration; Seeking asylum; The role of the media. Each lesson follows the same structure: Its particular purpose; Guidance for the teacher; The teacher materials used; Activities and prompts; Final lesson reflections; Additional lesson resources. This Teacher's Handbook is particularly, though not exclusively, suited to the Transition Year (TY) programme in Irish post-primary schools. It may even inspire new short courses at this level. More broadly, it serves as both a conceptual and practical toolkit for how we might think and act differently in our learning responses to a changed and changing world. Education has an inherent power to transform fixed forms of knowledge, skills, attitudes and values, and to positively impact citizenry. Global Citizenship Education holds a special 'anchoring' power in our navigation of 'disruptive' change, including how we cope with climate destruction, civic injustice, protracted wars, rising social inequality, identity prejudice and forced migration. Global Citizenship Education teachers, in particular, play a critical role in meeting these challenges, cultivating hope and re-imagining a better world.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. HUMANITY@WORKandLIFE is intended to provide hope and inspiration by serving as a resource for those interested in developing worker cooperatives, as well as an introduction for those interested in virtuous cycle, "Solidarity Dividend" alternatives to shareholder primacy capitalism practices. It is also intended to peer over incoming vision horizons and around strategy corners, "showing, not telling" how Mondragon-inspired virtuous cycles transform "humanity at work" globally and locally. The book was conceived in the middle of four lethal virus pandemics simultaneously threatening "humanity@work": advancing extreme climate precarity, withering economic class inequalities including embedded racism, novel COVID-19 killing millions, and a global assault on democracy. Its twofold mission: first, to be a resource for those developing hybrid model worker cooperatives and social enterprises as structural and cultural antidotes to a rising, inclusive, and climate-respecting Stakeholders-as-Shareholders global economy; and second, to uplift and amplify critical new voices of those doing the work. The four concurrent global pandemics have shone a harsher light on inequalities in society and offer opportunities to develop hybrid worker ownership models that seed virtuous cycles. This book's core belief is that there is no sustaining worker voice without worker power communicated and demonstrated through solidarity, democracy, equality of opportunity and shared equity and wealth outcomes. Its premise is that an ineluctable foundational policy for a fair and aspirational economy working for all demands inclusive, broadened, and deepened, stakeholder worker ownership undergirded by workplace democracy practices. Like Mondragon, we believe single class equity governance is synonymous with solidarity. Every equity share guarantees the equal right to vote for change and provides the basis for power-paradigm-changing culture combining stakeholder community and individual civic mutualism, stability, and self-reliance to innovate, defend and facilitate more fulfilled lives and dignified retirements. The core academic purpose of HUMANITY@WORKandLIFE is to make the case as to why Mondragon is a dynamic working and evolving model for those who see the need for replicable structural change in our economic institutions and in the proverbial "free market" economy across physical borders and cultural silos. The Mondragon case will be detailed and include both an overview of ecosystem cooperatives and discussion of global diffusion activities that the Mondragon cooperatives embrace locally and globally as well as those from other geographies inspired by close to 70+ years of Mondragon cooperative experiences. The book will include sections that examine how cooperatives inspired by the Mondragon cooperative ecosystem in the Basque region of Spain are emerging in different communities in the USA, Canada, Germany, the Republic of Korea, and the UK. The last section of the.…
