Investing as a business angel offers fun and financial reward but the real world is much tougher than portrayed in the reality TV show Dragons Den. Anything can go wrong with a young company, from an unreliable product to a lack of customers, unexpected competition to management failure and, most commonly, simply running out of money. But small companies are a vital part of the economy, and the tax breaks for investing are a great incentive. And supportive investors are vital. Now is a better time than ever to invest in small companies hoping to make it big. There's a tsunami of investable businesses disrupting old industries with new technology and new methods. The rewards can be huge if you are patient, sensible and smart. And there's the satisfaction of helping to bring a new and valuable thing into the world. Whether you're a newbie or an old hand, Business Angel Investing is your comprehensive guide on how to invest, what to invest in, how to manage your investments and how to make money. Richard Hargreaves has invested in young companies for almost 50 years. Let him show you how being a business angel can be fascinating, fun and profitable.

This book is not deep research work, as I am not a Ph.D. professor at any international university.

I was a teacher. I was also a real estate investor. And now I am a fulltime writer. Nevertheless, I am also research addicted reading two books per month.

Moreover, as I studied Macroeconomics, I found out that the world has been threatened by a new virus, the decentralized digital virus. Metaverse, Decentraland, blockchain, bitcoin standard, smart contracts, protocols, nodes, tokens, and halvings suddenly invaded my eyes with such a power that I had to understand what the hell was that about. If you do not know what these concepts are, you are in the right place.

Some of these articles are controversial, others you might agree with, but most of them try to explain how the world is shifting into a fully digital mode.

Central banks and governments are trying to keep the boat afloat in a perfect MMT style, while politicians still do not quite understand how the moneyprinting machine works. They keep saying we need raise taxes to pay the debt when the government is the only issuer, so it cannot become insolvent.

With deflationary pressure from technological innovations, the need for fresh money puts central banks in the red to control inflation. Covid-19 hit hard on every economy, but only the issuers can control the orchestra. Straightforwardly, as a non-native writer, I will try to give you a perspective about how the world is changing, from analog to digital, from the real world to the metaverse, with a fascinating silent war between centralized money printing power and decentralized fully digital crypto ecosystems.

In this book, I am going to show you everything you need to know:

1. Exactly how to set up your own portfolio of dividend stocks
2. Where to open up a brokerage account
3. How to never pay a commission when you buy or sell a stock
4. Which dividend stocks are the safest
5. Which dividend stocks to avoid (don't start investing until you read this)
6. How to super-charge your returns
7. How to profit from a bear market

And much, much more...
