GovStreet is pleased to announce that members of our team will attend the NDIA 11th National Small Business Conference later this year. The National Defense Industrial Association holds an annual conference to showcase new programs, technology, and products viewed as beneficial by the Department of Defense. However, the focus of this years meeting is uniquely valuable to GovStreet for a number of reasons. There is an emphasis placed on 'leveling the playing field' for small businesses in search of government contracts, and the solution to problems of this nature will be combated with a wide range variety of expertise in all fields. Federal agencies and legislative experts, to name a few, will come together to keep Federal Acquisition Regulations fair to small businesses, among other provisions that will create equal competition when trying to win a government contract. GovStreet's attendance in September is pivotal to our success in discovering innovative, small scale companies that can gain large scale recognition through working with us and taking advantage of what we have to offer. In the past, the NDIA conferences have always been regarded as memorable and eye opening, and GovStreet believes this year will be no different. To read more about the National Defense Industrial Association, as well as the conference in September, information can be found at http://www.ndia.org/meetings/4140/Pages/default.aspx

Bubble Burst?
12.12.2013
Businessman and former US Politician, David Stockman
explains why he thinks there is a pending market bubble. The bottom-line
is everything is overvalued and the market has to correct itself. Click to see clip: http://bloom.bg/1jDv7eH
Bruce Nazzaro, VP of Business Development at GovStreet
Capital, commented on the clip. "I agree with Stockman's simple
analysis—over-exuberance. It won't be a bubble burst like we saw with the
housing market, but a slow leak. There's not a lot of substance
supporting the DOW surpassing 16,000—housing still has problems, the bond
market yields a mere 1.75% on 10-year bonds, and employment is not ideal (but
improving)."
The timing of this bubble brings up a dilemma: Do
investors ride stocks into 2014 and risk a sharp decline in value, yet minimize
their tax impact? Or do investors liquidate their stocks to avoid
potential stock losses and absorb 2013's tax impact? Mr. Nazarro
comments, "I would scrape my original investment off the table, liquidate
my position, and sit on the sidelines through 2014; or find an alternative
investment that is lower risk."

Veteran's Day
11.11.2013
This
past weekend in Philadelphia, we not only commemorated Veteran’s Day, but also
celebrated the Marine Corp’s 238th birthday. Mayor Michael Nutter gave the proclamation in
Center City—the birthplace of the Marine Corp—as Marines around the country
gathered to honor those, past and present, who put on the uniform of the United
States military and put their lives on the line.
To
further celebrate this special day, The Old Breed Rugby Club hosted its annual
Old Boys versus Old Boys Rugby Match, where Marine Corp alumni take on Army
alumni to commemorate fallen soldiers. GovStreet Capital’s very own Trent
Morrow (Chief Operating Officer) participated in the Rugby match representing
the Marine Corp for the sixth straight year. A few bumps and bruises, but Trent
and his colleagues were out there representing the United States once again. Trent
played in honor of his friend Maj. Jeremy Grayck who was killed in action last
year.
Who is The Old
Breed Rugby Club?
The
Old Breed Rugby Club comprise of Marines (active, reserve, retired and
veterans) that at one time played rugby in the Marine Corps. The average age is
somewhere in the 40s, yet the exact age is classified. The Rugby Club competes in "Old Boy"
rugby tournaments (meaning players must be at least 35 years old) around the
country at least twice per year. Since 2005, our numbers have grown slowly, yet
our reputation has grown quickly.
The
Old Breed Rugby Club is not only known for their skill, but for their fierce
competitiveness, hard hitting and gentlemanly sportsmanship. They are known as
the team with the jerseys adorned with mourning band playing for a purpose: To play in honor of our brothers who can no
longer play due to catastrophic injuries suffered in combat or being KIA. Every tournament, participants and spectators
take a moment of silence for our fallen and then listen to a rousing version of
The Marine Corps Hymn.
Capitalizing on The Government Shutdown
(We are consolidating our blogs to blogger.com)
10.8.2013
GovStreet Capital is closely monitoring the Government
Shutdown on an hourly basis. We continue to move forward with business—as the
United States is—cautiously managing our partner investor interests. Our family
of Small Businesses currently is delivering uninterrupted Government services
despite the Shutdown, while investors continue to receive an average of rate of
return of 12.74%.
Political and economic uncertainty, such as this unexpected
“black swan” event, tends to affect market stability. This can be unsettling,
but investors with diversified portfolios should not be alarmed. In fact,
volatile markets serve as an important reminder to continually ensure that your
investment strategy is still on track. GovStreet Capital provides a simple
three-step approach during volatile events:
1. Check. Understand your portfolio’s direct
effects from volatility. When your anxiety is elevated, it's a good time to
check your allocation and investment strategy to ensure that they are still on
track.
2.
Focus. With proper asset allocation and a long-term strategy, your
collective portfolio risk should effectively be lower than any individual
portfolio asset with a short-term goal. GovStreet underwrites companies already vetted by the Government, and may
provide you with that low risk alternative investment to optimally diversify your
portfolio.
3. Diversify. Volatility is also a perfect
time to revisit your portfolio. Take
advantage of the volatility (buy low, sell high) and the end of the year tax
advantages. Mutual funds rather than individual stocks are a great way to
diversify while avoiding the burden of selecting and buying individual stocks. GovStreet
Capital serves as a portfolio builder that offers an alternative investment
funding Small Businesses in the Federal Sector.
