We are considering diversifying funds as 1/4 Bitcoin, 1/4 precious metals, 1/4 national currencies from resource economies and non-debtor nations like Australia, Singapore, Canada, and Norway, and 1/4 Crypti, accumulated during dips to stabilize price and useful to give new development team members a stake in the success of the project. We welcome any suggestions from the investment community on how to invest and manage the funds.

Well, if BTC will fail it will hurt or even kill all crypto ecosystem. From this point of view I'd say that storing 75% of funds in BTC, 10% in Crypti and 15% in cash is intelligent.
---
Edit:By the way, if US Dollar will fail, it will hurt "non-debtor" currencies. So maybe 75% BTC, 15% XCR, 10% USD is the best portfolio.

Litoshi, liked your response friend. It is by your words you should know by now that I'm beginner. Want to be my teacher and envisar me? Please, my parents are in need of information about it. Thank you for your help!


OK... here are the time tested strategies for investing in commodities:

1) Only invest money you can afford to lose.  Never invest money needed to pay bills.

Explanation:  The market can remain low and your losses not recoverable longer than you can stay solvent.  If you need that money next month, dont invest it.  

2) Do your research.  Buy quality, not hype.  

3) Trading on emotion is pure gambling.  Use logic. Have a plan.  Set a goal.  Be flexible.

4) Learn to spot the "Pump & Dump".  Buying on the pump can be profitable, but the dump comes without warning.

5) Prices go down faster than they go up.

6) After purchase, set a "stop loss" at 80-90%.
  
Explanation:  Purchase price 1000 satoshi.  Place coins for sale at 800-900 satoshi.  This way, if the market goes down, your coins sell and losses are limited.  Remember rule #5.

If the price rises to 1500 satoshi, move your stop-loss to 1300-1450 satoshi.  Now some profit is locked in.

Price now 3000 satoshi?  Change stop-loss to 2700.  This will lock in your profit when the market turns and you are not watching.

7) Leave the last 10% gain for someone else.

Short explanation:  You can never determine the top.

Long explanation:  Greed to get the last little bit out of an investment will cost you.  Not only is the top impossible to determine as prices rise, but there is very little trading at that level.  Better to sell at 10% under your estimate of the top, and while it is still rising.....that way your sale will not drop the market.  

Selling after the top is found and the price declines only causes the drop to accelerate. (panic selling).  The fastest percentage drop is always at the top.  So sell before the top is reached.

8 ) Buy a little at a time, sell a little at a time.  You cannot know the top or the bottom.

Explanation:  Prices go up and down every few minutes.  Best to average your buy and sell prices.  Instead of purchasing 1million coins at a time, (large purchase can cause the price to climb temporarily), then seeing the price drop back down, better to buy 100,000 every day or every few hours.  Dont forget to place your stop-loss.  

When time comes to sell, sell a little every day or few hours.  That will average out the price.

9) Diversify.  Be invested in different areas.  

10) Dont chase losses.

Explanation:  Purchased at 1000 satoshi.  No stop-loss set and price is 300 satoshi.  Waiting for the price to go back up is emotional trading.  Dont buy more at 300 satoshi.  Sell now, dropping the price further,  and place buy orders for the coin at 200-250 or so satoshi.  

11) Don't buy on margin.  

Explanation:  Buy on margin means you pay 10% of the purchase price and borrow 90% at low interest.  Also called leveraging.  This is very profitable in an UP market, but when the market goes down even 5%, investments have to be sold.  This causes a tsunami of sell orders and a severe sudden price drop.  Remember rule #5.



OK.  Now everybody go and get rich!!


Spot on as usual Litoshi. The only problem is that very few altcoin exchanges support Stop-Limits/Stop-Orders. Only Poloniex and Cryptsy (both currently have low volume) support it.


Rule #9:  Diversify also applies to spreading your coins among different exchanges.  It protects you against losing all your coins in a hack, and allows you to take advantage of price differences.

It would be really nice to have an exchange which lets you set the stop-limits/stop-orders as percentages of price so they can dynamically adjust to market conditions. Even better if there were the ability to add in an algorithm to factor in volatility and other measures.

Litoshi's advice is very sound for trading. It would be great to have him on the Foundation Board to help manage the portfolio.

Just read through the whitepaper. I must say I am impressed! Goodluck with the ventures and I will keep a close eye. Something that I would definitely look at implementing into my business if all goes well.

Keep in mind that we have received no funds yet until 3 days after main net to ensure everything works as expected. We have a video script and marketing ideas ready to go and other plans in place but are awaiting funds release to get started on some of the projects. The dev team has been fully funding everything up to this point so some things had to be put on the back burner. We are also in negotiations for the code and security audits once funds are available as well as interviewing additional developers to help take some of the load off of Boris.

Once we have been live for a few days, know everything is functioning correctly and no issues arise, we will start to focus on announcing and discussing some of the other things we have in the works. At that point we will also start posting some job openings / electing the additional board members.

We will keep you all posted as always on what's going on. It's been a little quiet the last couple days because we have been cramming to ensure the launch was ready.

We need to know a schedule, we can not stay 24 hours in front of the computer waiting. There must be a schedule to release! I'm already 36 without sleep - "

As said before, the schedule depends on Bter integration confirmation, which we are looking towards as well.

Thats not a smart way to trade any commodity.  Sounds like you are using emotion rather than logic. Thats a sure way to experience a roller coaster of elation, regret, joy, and disappointment. 

The best strategy for investing is time tested and works every time.  I have posted them here previously.  If asked, i willpost again.
