Mercury has forged a strong relationship with Brickowner, most notably the CEO and co-founder Fred Bristol. Brickowner has made great traction in the real estate sector in just 2 years. They have invested heavily in their platform and already have a huge membership database and assets under management. This raise sits perfectly under the strategy of Mercury Partnerships and its target sectors of European based Fintech and A.I. companies. “These are currently the fastest growing and most exciting sectors in the world at the moment and have the greatest potential of short and medium term growth for our clients”, says Phil Wombwell, CEO Mercury Partnerships.

Mercury strategically go after Fintech and AI companies in early stage (not start ups) with strong management teams that can disrupt markets.

Phil went on to say “Major institutions around the world are diversifying into Fintech and A.I. disruptors, the sector will only gain traction as it evolves because insurance companies, banks and investment companies will depend more and more on mobile application development and online sales channels.”

Taking Financial Advice From a Lottery Winner

In a 2005 Powerball drawing a strange thing happened.



There were 110 people who all picked the same exact lottery numbers — 22, 28, 32, 33 and 39. This group picked 5 out of the 6 numbers correctly, good enough for the 2nd prize.

Having 110 people pick the same numbers across 29 different states was quite rare, considering at most there were 4-5 people who would split the prize in the average drawing.

Each winner was due to make six figures, making the total payout was $19 million higher than expected. This raised some eyebrows and caused people at the lottery association to look into how this could have happened. After ruling out fraud, they finally figured it out, as told by the New York Times:

“Our first winner came in and said it was a fortune cookie,” said Rebecca Paul, chief executive of the Tennessee Lottery. “The second winner came in and said it was a fortune cookie. The third winner came in and said it was a fortune cookie.”

Investigators visited dozens of Chinese restaurants, takeouts and buffets. Then they called fortune cookie distributors and learned that many different brands of fortune cookies come from the same Long Island City factory, which is owned by Wonton Food and churns out four million a day.

“That’s ours,” said Derrick Wong, of Wonton Food, when shown a picture of a winner’s cookie slip. “That’s very nice, 110 people won the lottery from the numbers.”

If any of these 110 people worked in the investment business they probably would have started their own newsletter — My Secret Formula for Winning the Lottery.

I was reminded of this story while reading a New York Times profile on angel investor Jason Calacanis. Calacanis is worried about how technology is going to impact the jobs of millions of Americans and wants to help this group invest in tech to make up for it. His new book is called Angel: How to Invest in Technology Startups — Timeless Advice From An Angel Investor Who Turned $100,000 into $100,000,000.

Here’s the backstory on how he earned his $100 million:

In 2009, the venture capital firm Sequoia enlisted Mr. Calacanis as one of its “scouts,” an informal network of entrepreneurs who look for promising companies on the firm’s behalf. As part of that program, Mr. Calacanis invested $25,000 in a friend’s crazy-sounding tech-enabled cab company. The friend was Travis Kalanick; the company was Uber. And despite that company’s recent turmoil, the deal has turned into Mr. Calacanis’s biggest win as an angel by far, worth about $100 million on paper.

For those who are unaware, Sequoia Capital is one of the most well-known venture capital firms in the world. So while Calacanis took a huge right risk in this situation and hit the jackpot, I’m not sure how much timeless advice 99.9% of investors can glean from someone who has contacts at one of the best VC firms in the world who made his fortune on a single home run investment.

Even the best investors in venture capital have a hard time picking and choosing the right deals and investments. Most are complete failures. I know from experience how ultra-competitive this space is and it’s only gotten more so in recent years. Even if you put in the time to educate yourself about angel investing, it’s one of the harder areas of the markets to invest successfully in because the opportunity set is so limited and hard to access.

I have a theory about comedians that the more successful (read: wealthy) they become, the less funny they become (Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David are probably the exceptions to this rule) because they lose touch with reality or begin to take themselves too seriously.

This seems to apply to most uber-wealthy people who try to give financial advice to the average person as well. I can appreciate successful people who would like to share with others what made them successful. But no amount of books, morning routines, meditation, rituals or inspirational quotes are going to make you filthy rich. The circumstances are drastically different than people in the middle class are dealing with. And it’s impossible to replicate luck.

Obviously, this isn’t always the case. Not all wealthy people are out of touch lottery winners. But people have to temper their expectations when trying to emulate the top 1% of the top 1%. You can be inspired by these people, but following their blueprint for becoming wealthy is a different story.

I’ll give Calacanis the benefit of the doubt and assume he doesn’t have ill intentions here. But most people are better off learning how to get their personal finances in order and investing in themselves than trying to find home run investments that will change their lives.

Phil Wimbwell Provide wide range of investment choices to their clients for better profit.


Phill Wimbwell also Provide Best information about IRA Investing.

It is generally well-known that in an IRA account, you have a wide range of investment choices. These choices are typically only limited by the custodian’s available investment options.  However, there are specific prohibited transactions that cannot be accomplished with IRA funds. Often these prohibited transactions can cause your IRA to be disqualified, which can result in significant tax and penalty, along with loss of the tax-favored status of the funds.


What’s Not Allowed for IRA Accounts?


1.    Self-Dealing.  You are not allowed, within your IRA, to make investments in property which benefits you or another disqualified person.  A disqualified person includes your fiduciary advisor and any member of your family, whether an ancestor, spouse, lineal descendant (child) or spouse of a lineal descendant.  It is important to note that this limit applies to both present and future use of a property. So if you purchased a condo and rented it out exclusively for several years and then decided to convert it to personal use, this act would disqualify the investment and potentially classify it as a distribution, to be taxed and penalized (with interest) retroactively.


2.    Borrowing.  You are not allowed to borrow funds from your IRA account.  Likewise, you are not allowed to put up your IRA account as collateral for a loan.


3.    Selling.  You are not allowed to personally sell property that you own outside of the IRA, to your IRA account.


4.    Collectibles.  The single class of investments that you may not invest in with your IRA account is collectibles.  This includes art, antiques, gems, coins, and alcoholic beverages, among other items.  There is an exception to the coin prohibition, in that you are allowed to invest in one, one-half, one-quarter, or one-tenth ounce U.S. gold coins, or one-ounce silver coins minted by the United States Treasury Department with your IRA funds (if your custodian allows). You can also invest in certain platinum coins and certain gold, silver, palladium, and platinum bullion.

5.    Unreasonable Management Costs.  It is prohibited to pay an exorbitant amount to an advisor to manage your account.  This is due to the fact that it IS an allowed transaction to pay your advisor, tax-free, from your IRA specifically for managing the account.  If the amount is deemed unreasonable (e.g., obviously for services above and beyond managing the IRA account), this transaction is prohibited. An example of this is if you have both IRA and non-IRA funds with your advisor, but you pay the advisor’s entire fee strictly from your IRA account. Unless the non-IRA funds are an inconsequential amount, the fee paid from the IRA will be deemed exorbitant to the size of the IRA account.


6.    (Bonus!) Life Insurance. You may not purchase life insurance contracts with your IRA account funds. This is a strict prohibition.

Beyond these transactions, IRAs have a pretty wide scope of available investment options. As I indicated before, your options are mostly limited by the custodian’s available investments.  In cases where the IRA funds are to be used for more unique investments, such as individual real estate transactions or gold bullion, a special custodian is often required.
