Google is a Reputation Engine - An online reputation management article by Steven C. Wyer.

by Steven C. Wyer

Would you like a coke? Do you need a bandaid? Do you have a Jacuzzi in your home? If you want to find something just Google it! Most everyone knows that Google is a search engine. So are Yahoo, MSN and a dozen lesser known search platforms. But no one, and I mean no one, has the power that Google does. How many times have you heard someone say “just google it”? Some terms have integrated into our culture and a specific brand ends up defining an entire business category. Now the real concern: anything can be googled. The whole method for people evaluating and making decisions has moved online. Just stop and think: medical services, daycare, plumbing, schools, churches, cars, banks and financial services can all be evaluated online before a decision is made.

If it is true for products and services, think for a moment about you, your family and your job. Bad information, negative search results and complaint sites such as ripoffreport.com combine to create a whole new level of concern. I am told that more then half of all headhunters evaluate potential clients by “googling” them before accepting an assignment. Single people looking for relationships through social websites; don’t you think that information is sought out before having that first encounter? Civic organizations, school acceptance, scholarships and even your child’s social life can all be impacted by a simple point and click. Your online reputation can be affecting your current life and impacting your future without your even knowing it.

Professionals such as dentists, lawyers and doctors are not the only segments of society that are impacted. Take a moment to consider how bad online publicity can impact all the areas in both your professional and personal life.

Wealth Wonks, are literally defined, is someone who studies the ins and outs of finances. This is mostly centered around personal finance and investing, and is something everyone who yearns for a stable financial life years down the road should investigate. Knowing what to do when opportunity presents, and how to budget one’s finances, is what separates Wealth Wonks from the rest of the population.

Knowing what constitutes a good investment and what is an investment that should be passed up is what makes a good Wealth Wonk decision. Wealth Wonks will size up investments according to the risk factor, the sum of money required (and if it has to be borrowed or not), and whether or not there will be a say from the government or lender in the situation. Optimally, little interference and low risk are ideal. Having a perfect deal doesn’t always happen, and risk is usually moderate to high- so analyzing an investment to its core is always a solid idea.

Every dollar counts when an investment takes its toll on one’s money supply. One way Wealth Wonks save every dollar possible is through avoiding the credit industry as much as possible. While it’s good to have credit, and to build it over time, depending on it too much will result in hundreds to thousands of dollars each year in lost savings that could have been avoided. Instead of buying a new car outright, consider a slightly aged car or even saving up money for the new car to buy it all at once.

Even in a failing economy, Wealth Wonks are able to turn profits by acknowledging what the economy needs and what the investor can provide. This partly comes from the fact that Wealth Wonks are trained to foresee trends in a condition called “trained fleas.” Spotting bandwagon trends, and deciding whether or not they are good to get into or when to sell out of them, is how fortunes are made even when times are tough.

The proper Wealth Wonks isn’t going to consider things in short-term effect: indeed, most are already planning their retirement funds by the time they reach their 20’s. Planning is the key action here, in which all aspects of one’s finances can be foreseen and accounted for. Thus, the intellectual Wealth Wonk is logical in what he or she invests in, and weighs all possibilities in each financial decision made.

To continue on the road of becoming a Wealth Wonk mogul, consider going to the local bookstore and buying books related to wealth building and personal budgeting. Also seek out information over the Internet, where a wealth of websites have been put together that offer different tips and opinions. Of course, the ability to hire a personal consultant is also a possibility too.

In Conclusion

Wealth Wonks are hard to spot amidst so much troubles with the economy, but they do indeed prevail even under trying conditions. To become one of the elite, go online to see how you can secure your finances for a better future today.

“This development should not be a significant shock to the market” said Steven Wevodau, an independent insurance industry consultant. Wevodau added “the insurance industry has sustained a variety of economic factors that have stressed their capital base. Matters such as catastrophic losses, elevated labor costs, depleted investment portfolios, and risky investments in derivatives have all contributed to the erosion of the industry’s equity”.

Wevodau went on to mention that “insurance is a cyclical industry and any time that you have a confluence of negative factors at one time, major erosion of capital is bound to occur. The market is beginning to signal that product rates, which have been softening for three years, are beginning to firm. This is the natural course in the evolution of economic events in this industry”.

Insurers that own thrifts are eligible to apply for a piece of the $250 billion the government is spending to buy shares in banks and other financial companies.
