How Do You Give a Blow Job to a Guy Thats Uncircumcised?

First off, on the sensitivity issue, the glans of an uncircumcised penis is several times more sensitive than who's been cut-- Therefore, when using your teeth during a blowjob, think about how teeth feel on your clitoris, and think about how gentle teeth should be on his glans.

Now on the practicality side, a foreskin is very good during sex, because it retracts during penetration, and slides at least partially back on during out-thrust, therefore reducing the amount of sensation the boy gets, and delaying orgasm. The foreskin also acts as a "trap" for lubrication, which further reduces friction, and therefore also helps delay orgasm.

How Do You Give a Blow Job to a Guy Thats Uncircumcised?

So you want some fellatio technique?

With the foreskin still covering the glans, lick and suck his peepee the way you normally would. Once he's into this, place your hand just below his glans, and gently retract the foreskin by pulling slowly downward with your thumb, and index finger. Now, prolong it a little by not going for the glans straight away. Lick the exposed underside of the foreskin. When he falls back onto the bed after jumping to the ceiling, "rim" his penis, by licking around the bottom of the glans. Get in that crack between foreskin and the base of the glans, and don't forget that little flap that joins the foreskin to the glans. Now, lick the glans. Do him from there the way you'd normally give head, alternating with those three zones I mentioned.

Also, don't worry if he doesn't come; it's a strange phenomenon, but a lot of us whole-penis types don't come from a blowjob. But this owes a lot to the level of sensation that fellatio has, for us. We end up having intense, orgasmic sensation, without the orgasm. We can and do come from head, but we don't need to. When my fiancee goes down on me, she leaves me completely satisfied, and though I don't come, she also leaves me ready to give it to her until we're both moaning, sweating piles of sticky flesh.

3 good steps to remember!

1) My foreskin is a little tight; pull it back all the way and it will be a constant source of discomfort that will completely distract from the rest of your efforts.
2) Because it's protected by the foreskin, the head is really sensitive, and too much direct stimulation can start to feel awkward.
3) I'd like it if you involved the foreskin in the blowjob please, instead of tossing it aside like it were merely in the way. The foreskin has lots of good nerve endings in it too, so take advantage of it -- lick it, stick your tongue in it, tug on it (the underside, and gently please).

How to give a Blowjob Correctly

Article from www.HowToGiveAblowjob.info

Hey Girls,

Ok, lets go over some basic guidelines for giving a good, proper, sexy blowjob. Now, a mans penis is NOT a complicated thing to figure out. No matter what you do, in some way it feels good for the man (Well, sometimes)

Now, most girls give a normal, plain blowjob, and for some men, thats enough. But if you want to really get him off fast, and making his just LOVE IT, once again, its quite simple!

1: Don't act like its a choir! Don't make the guy feel like it's such a horrible thing you are having to do. Move around, look up at him, moan and grown, try to take it deep here and there!

2: Don't concentrate too much on just using your hand. Ladies, they have hands!

3: When putting it in your mouth, tease him a little, lick up the shaft, then all of a sudden, take it all in.

4: Very Important. When you are sucking on it, don't just use your lips. Grasp his member with your whole mouth and tounge! Really get into it!

5: Optional: Let's be honest. Guys love it when you try to go as deep as you can. So, you dont have to deepthroat, but at least try and go down deep once in a while.

Now onto the good stuff.... Where is he going to cum?

Learn How To Swallow Cum - Easy 5 Steps

2011-05-03T12:21:00.000-07:00

www.HowToGiveABlowjob.info

Every guy loves it when a girl swallows, its no secret! However, for some girls, its very very hard to "swallow his cum". But, if you pick up on these ten simple tips for making it easier, I promise your ladies, you will start to wonder why it was so hard before!

1: Make sure you tell him to LET YOU KNOW when hes about to cum! Sure you can kinda tell, but you never know, and it will make it much easier for you to be able to do it!

2: Make your man eat some pinapple! Pinapple makes his seman taste "sweet".

3: Deepthroat! - when you perform deep throat, the head of the penis is in so deeply that it extends past the "bitter" taste buds that are on the back of the tongue. As your man reaches the moment of ejaculation, take his penis as far into your throat as you can, swallow as his semen hits the back of your throat, and continue swallowing until he's finished. You'll never taste it if you can avoid getting it on your tongue. Learn how to deepthroat HERE

4: Instead of taking your "medicine" like a good girl with only water to wash it down, try following Mary Poppins' advice to disguise the taste with a "spoonful of sugar." You can easily use a mouthful of chocolate syrup or honey to chase down the semen and get the taste out of your mouth. Using food as part of fellatio also causes you to subconsciously associate sucking a penis with swallowing something that tastes good. Eventually, that association may make swallowing semen "neat" taste good to you.

5: Get it over with fast! - Either by deepthroating, or pooling it in the front of your mouth, and quikly swallowing it. Having him shoot him cum all inside your mouth, will be sooooo much hardder to get it down, and keep it down :)

And just for fun, some reasons why you should swallow:

It’s Tidy

Spitting is, quite simply, messy. Having a paper towel at the ready can help, but even then, you have a cum-soaked towel to dispose of. Same is true if he comes somewhere other than inside your mouth, there’s plenty of sticky jizm to wipe up. Just swallow and there's no muss or fuss.

It’s Quick

Even if cum is unpleasant (we have tips for making it much less so), the fastest way to deal with it is to swallow. Running to the bathroom to dispose of it or spitting it out on the spot will take more time, and be less efficient, than just swallowing it.

It Lets the Man Relax

If a man has to worry about coming, feeling that it is an imposition on the woman or the cause of unpleasantness, it creates tension while receiving the blowjob. He cannot fully relax, and cannot fully enjoy his climax. A woman who swallows both puts her partner at ease. Also, she can continue sucking through the orgasm, “sucking him dry”, which men find both physically and emotionally satisfying.

IDeepthroat..... Learn to Deepthroat like Heather Brooke from Ideepthroat

Deepthroating. This is something a lot of guys absolutely love. It is the hardest part of giving head. for many of you smart women that made the good decision to improve their blow job skills. I know a lot of you girls have problems with this, and it's OK. Some of you don't like it, some of you just don't know how. Those of you that don't like it - don't worry, you CAN give AMAZING head even without it. But it's a BIG plus if you can do it. So why not give it a try? Once more thing - forget about the "I can't". Countless women proved that wrong after some practice, and they LAUGHED about it later.

The main this you need to understand is you have to simply try it. Try it on your boyfriend, a dildo, anything. And to be honest, your boyfriend might even like you trying and struggling more than if you lets say, perfected it!

Make sure you tell your man not to force his cock in your mouth 'cause it will be counter productive. You will start gagging and fighting for air. The key to deepthroating is that you relax your throat as much as possible. This way you will stop the gagging and you will be able to put it in deeper. If your man can't control himself from pushing his shaft deeper then hold or tie his hands.

Using your hands while deepthroating - If his dick is bigger, then hold his shaft tight from the bottom, where it starts. Hold it with as many fingers you need to, the less the better. This way you are making his cock visually smaller and therefore you can get the remaining part completely into your mouth. The other thing you can do with your hands is holding the back of his legs or his ass. Or just massaging his legs.

When you're getting it out, make sure you leave your tongue out and make a loud moan, or say "aaah" as you're getting some air, and lick the tip of his head while you are looking directly into his eyes. That's a major turn on. (More about "blow job styles" in the book, and how to create a show).

Deepthroating. This is something a lot of guys absolutely love. It is the hardest part of giving head. for many of you smart women that made the good decision to improve their blow job skills. I know a lot of you girls have problems with this, and it's OK. Some of you don't like it, some of you just don't know how. Those of you that don't like it - don't worry, you CAN give AMAZING head even without it. But it's a BIG plus if you can do it. So why not give it a try? Once more thing - forget about the "I can't". Countless women proved that wrong after some practice, and they LAUGHED about it later.

It is very nice to look at a girl while she's taking your entire shaft into her mouth, and it's also a cool feeling for guys. So how do you do it? First of all the position - you HAVE to be on your knees. This is the optimal and probably the only way to give deepthroat. It's about adjusting your neck, a bit upwards.

If you're going to deepthroat, make sure you exercise your facial muscles just a little bit. Because it's possible for your jaws to get tired during the blow job (if you are novice, experienced women gave me head for over an hour). Massage your cheeks, open your mouth as much as you can. Just to get your mouth ready. Deepthroating really depends on the size of your partners penis, but practice makes perfect. I'm telling you - I've dated girls with smaller mouths that were 100% convinced that they "can't" and that it's "too big". Yep, sometimes it really is physically impossible - but from my experience, most of the times, it's not.

Make sure you tell your man not to force his cock in your mouth 'cause it will be counter productive. You will start gagging and fighting for air. The key to deepthroating is that you relax your throat as much as possible. This way you will stop the gagging and you will be able to put it in deeper. If your man can't control himself from pushing his shaft deeper then hold or tie his hands.

So, as you're giving head, slowly start putting it in deeper - gradually. You will have to practice. The more you practice the better you will be. It is good if he is just a bit above you when you're kneeling in front of him. Try to push it in the upper part of your jaw and make sure you put your tongue out as much as possible.

By putting your tongue out you will have more space, and therefore you can get it in deeper. You have to focus on breathing - it's very important. Don't try to fight for air, the more your tongue is out the more air you will be able to get in through your mouth! Hold it in as long as you can and then get the shaft out. Be sure to look into his eyes while doing this. And remember the more wet his shaft is the better! It will be easier for you to slide it in and out.

You have to push yourself through it. Some girls have a hard time getting it in deeper, 'cause they think they cant, but they can most of the time. It's just a matter of practice and strong will. Anything is possible. If his dick is smaller, you can try to put it in completely... and if it's bigger and you really can't get it in deeper, then use your hands to help yourself. Explained in my guide.

Using your hands while deepthroating - If his dick is bigger, then hold his shaft tight from the bottom, where it starts. Hold it with as many fingers you need to, the less the better. This way you are making his cock visually smaller and therefore you can get the remaining part completely into your mouth. The other thing you can do with your hands is holding the back of his legs or his ass. Or just massaging his legs.

When you're getting it out, make sure you leave your tongue out and make a loud moan, or say "aaah" as you're getting some air, and lick the tip of his head while you are looking directly into his eyes. That's a major turn on. (More about "blow job styles" in the book, and how to create a show).

The hard truth is that most people are just trying to make money off these Solar Panel kits, and they don't even know what they are doing.

We were inspired by a story we found of a mother who put together her own Solar Panel, and it worked! It even kept a better charge than the pre-built ones. So we had to investigate.

Also, make sure you have the materials before you start. The kit will tell you all of them, and details where to get them.

When we put together ours, we messed up and did not follow the Video Tutorials. As soon as we started watching the video tutorials(link at bottom of article), it made a world of difference!

Here is what the kit we got was all about:

"� Full and detailed instruction guide given which can be easily understood by a layman or the unskilled for building a home made solar panel.

How can solar power be used?

Solar power can be used in our everyday lives by adopting the following solar power systems:

• Solar cooking system: Solar cooking is about cooking without lighting a fire or using electricity! Before you wonder, let me tell you that solar cooking is not about bland food. You can cook in more ways than one – boil, roast, or bake, cook the way you want! The only demand that solar cooking makes of you is being patient; it is a matter of more than a few minutes. However, it is not asking for too much given that you will get tasteful and healthy food without worrying about paying your gas or electricity bill.

• Solar lighting system: You can now light up the entire house, use every electrical appliance without thinking about cutting down bills. The solar lighting system lights up your house even in the nights, thanks to the power storage feature it has.

The present economic scenario and the ever-shrinking state of the global oil reserves is not good news for everyone. But on a positive note it makes us investigate for alternative energy sources that is become the solution of cutting down present and the future energy consumption, particularly in terms of fossil fuel usage like oil. For example, it has become more and more economical to build home made solar energy system. Building the home made solar panels that utilize deep cell storage batteries produce the electricity upon consumer demand and reduce the their individual dependence on the country’s energy grid.

How to prepare for an Earthquake in BC, Canada

2011-04-14T09:05:00.001-07:00

Brought to you by www.SolarPanelHandyMan.com

Well, Japan was a major reminder that some of us are just not prepared for a major earth quake. The Japanese people showed us that the years of training and preparing for such things, really paid off!

Now, we are unable to fix our homes to make them more earthquake proof, and from studies showing that most of the deaths and injury comes from what happens after a major earthquke. I am talking about loss of power, loss of heating, loss of water, you get the picture....

So, we took some time, and researched the top 5 MUST do's, to be well prepared for an earthquake.

#1: The most important: You need electricity!

When a earth quake happens, you will be off the grid, no electricity. So, we advise you Make your OWN Solar Panels. There are a few kits out there, and we found the best, and easiest one. Full video tutorials and instructions. Best off all, VERY cheap, and anyone can make them.
-----------Video Tutorials and Official Instructions HERE

#2: Create your own fresh drinking water!

This is a no brainer. If you have not done so, do already! Discover How To Get Up To 12 Years Of Clean, Healthy Drinking Water For Practically Free. Here are the famous instructions on how to make your own water filtration system! Click here for the instructions

#3: Food - Be smart about what food you keep.

Nothing has changed in this one. Its simple... Canned food will always be number 1. Even protein bars last for years. Make sure whatever food you keep, it is wrapped in something. Either a foil bag, or can, etc.

#4: Flashlight! No brainer.

#5: Educate, educate, educate!

If we learn anything from the Japan earthquake, it's how being well educated and prepared for earthquakes someone is, the better off they will be. Learn about them, read reports on what to do when one hits. Educate your family on whatever you learn. When a earthquake hits, you should know what to do. It could save your life!

The following are important tips to remember and ways to educate your family:

# Learn how to shut off gas, water and electricity in your home in case power lines are damaged.
# Check the stability of chimneys, roofs and wall foundations. If you're living in a home that was built before 1935, make sure the house is bolted to the foundation. If your home is on a raised foundation, make sure the cripple, or short stud walls between the floor and foundation, are replaced with shear, or vertical walls that are used to stiffen the structural frame. If you have questions, contact a licensed contractor.
# Secure heavy furnishings.
# Secure your water heater and other appliances that could move and disrupt utility lines.

When an earthquake occurs, your first warning may be a swaying sensation if you're in a building, a sudden noise or roar. Next, vibration, quickly followed by rolling up, down, sideways, rotating. It will be scary! It may last a few seconds or go on for a few minutes. The earth won't open up and swallow you. But you could be hurt by breaking glass, falling objects, and heavy things bouncing around. Be prepared for aftershocks.

Review:

What we liked about Electricity4Gas was the simplicity and cost reduced measures they implemented to their conversion kit. The manual was easy to understand with lots of information. Our test vehicle did 120 miles on a single charge. It was able to hit a top speed of 55 MPH. This is more than enough for city driving and some short highway drives.

Another great value they added were 6 bonus books:.

Best of all, the technology required is readily available for free - we were able to access some of the parts for free and the rest of the parts for under $300. Given that its proven to eliminate fuel costs, you could well recoup your investment in under a month.

Some key points on why you should convert your car.

You will save hundreds of dollars every month on gas costs. It costs about $1 to charge your electric car, and you can travel up to 100 miles on a single charge.

This is great for our environment and your children will thank you for it.

The government will give you taxation credits for driving a clean fuel vehicle.

With our complete instructions this makes for a fun at home project.

How To Live Off The Grid in Canada and the USA?

2011-04-13T10:13:00.000-07:00

The shortage of power, the rapid consumption of non-renewable energy, the ever-increasing demand for power supply, the daily warnings about our environment are enough signs to tell us that it’s time we do something. So, what can we do? For starters, how about living off the grid? If I have startled you with that proposition, let me tell you that living off the grid not only helps the environment and helps save power; it also cuts down our electricity bill substantially. Now, that’s a tangible benefit apart from all the good you will do to the world. Trust me, you will feel good doing this.

First: Make your own Solar Panels: Videos here

Second: Make your own Wind Turbines: Videos and instructions here

Third: Develope systems to make your own drinking water: Details on how this is done here

Why Live off the grid?

Let us first study the advantages of living off the grid.
• Reduced dependability on exhausting resources: Who wants to depend on public utilities all the time? Living off the grid helps you rely only on your resources and not the ones supplied by governments or corporations. How often have you cursed when faced with a power outage in the midst of some important work or a party? Wouldn’t you like to take charge of such factors affecting you life? With alternate power solutions, you can.
• Freedom of usage of naturally available resources: How would you feel when you don’t have to pay for the power you use? Wouldn’t it be delightful to use as much power as you want without worrying about the electricity meter? You can make use of the abundant power available in the nature to light up your home and make your food. The solar power solutions and the wind power solutions are the answers to your power quest (well, literally!).
• Reduced power costs, helping save your money: How would you feel if the electricity bills stop coming in your letter box? The alternate power solutions give you a return on investment very soon, thus making the power supply to your home eventually free!
• Making way for a healthier environment: Don’t you bless the people who planted trees years ago not expecting them to miraculously grow? They planted those trees for the future generations. Make the future of your future generations secure by giving them a greener, healthier world. Cut down on the usage of non-renewable sources of energy. Try to use water minimally. There is not much drinking water left for the next generations.

If you are thinking it is not very feasible to live off the grid, look for alternate power solutions and you will be surprised to learn that they are not only cost-effective but also extremely feasible.

How To Reduce Your Electricity and Heating Bill Easy!

How To Reduce Your Electricity and Heating Bill Easy! - Brought to you by www.SolarPanelHandyMan.com

www.SolarPanelHandyMan.com

If you have been bogged by the enormous electricity bills you have been getting, it is time to take some concrete steps. You can reduce your electricity bills by following very simple steps.

This article will list some simple, easy-to-do things to reduce your electricity bill.

*Video tutorials are available for this lessons here

Limited use: Start with the room you are sitting in. If you were to take a call in another room or join your family at the dining table, would you just step out of your room without any concern for the electrical appliances in the room? If you would, stop right there, and look around. Switch off all the appliances even if you would be back in five minutes. Yes, even that will help. Every drop of water constitutes to the ocean.

Another thing to take care of here is what you perceive as an electronic appliance. Would you switch off the television set, turn off the fan, but not the light bulb? Yes, you need light, but not now when you are leaving the room. Taking care of these small things will go a long way in reducing the dreaded huge electricity bills.

Smart investments: Make some smart power investments by replacing your incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. These bulbs are a great power-saving investment.

Check your home's furnace ducts in each room. Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the vents such as long drapes or furniture. If something is blocking the air flow, it will take much more energy to heat or cool the home to temperature.

Replace your incandescent light bulbs with more energy efficient fluorescent bulbs. While you may initially have to pay out more for these bulbs, they drastically reduce your energy consumption (up to 75 percent) and they last much longer than regular bulbs.

Buy the Power Save gadget. The gadget helps monitor the power supply to your house and uses the minimum that is needed.

Home appliance usage: Most of us complain that the electricity bill touches the sky because of the number of electrical appliances they have at home. However, the electricity bill is not directly proportional to the number of gadgets you use but the way you use them. Let’s see how you can avoid the typical power-wasters.

• Use the washing machine only when there is a full load of clothes.
• Keep the geyser on for the minimal amount of time.
• Keep the air-conditioner at the minimum low or high temperature, just enough to keep you off the heat or the cold outside.
• Switch off the computer monitor even when you take a one-minute break. It takes just a second to switch on the monitor again!

Yeah, you have to stick to this way of life for saving power at home and for the world.

Get to know them. You want to make sure you actually like this person before you ask. The person might not be what you think. Have small conversations with them and compliment them every now and then. Try not to make it too obvious. See how he/she reacts. Does he/she listen to you and seem interested?
#

Pop the question. If you talk enough and become good friends with them, then they'll be more interested in you than if you didn't talk to them at all. Then, say something like "Well, I really would like to get to know you. You seem like a really interesting person, so I was wondering if you'd like to go to the movies on Friday night?" This is simply a guideline but you should actually have something worked out to say so you don't fumble for the words.

How to get an 8 pack of abs

Our program outlines and simply shows you the fastest and more effective method of getting a 6 pack of abs!

Men Click Here for your FREE presentation with important tips to start losing your belly fat and carving out ripped six pack abs.

To get you started: The foods

Here is a list with the foods that you should focus on:

* Fruits and vegetables -- Vegetables should become your main source of carbohydrates.
* High quality protein - Eat moderate amounts of good protein at each meal.

Here are some exercises to get you going:

Physioball Pikes

Assume a pushup position with your arms completely straight (your hands should be slightly wider than, and in line with, your shoulders). Rest your shins on a physioball, so that your body forms a straight line from your head to your ankles. Without bending your knees, roll the physioball toward your body by raising your hips as high as you can. Pause, then return the ball to the starting position by lowering your hips and rolling the ball backward. Do three to four sets of 8 to 12 reps.

What is the Best Ab Workout to lose belly fat?

2011-03-28T13:46:00.000-07:00

You want abs like Taylor Lautner? You want to look good for the summer and show off your new 6 pack of abs? Well, this is the best and fastest way...Let's get started!

As a trainer, nutrition specialist, and fitness professional, I always get asked what the best ab exercises and workouts are for losing belly fat in order to bring out visible six pack abs. The problem is that everyone with excess belly fat looking to try to uncover their abs are searching for some "magical abdominal workout" that is going to shed the belly fat off their abs in no time.

Performing thousands of sit-ups or crunches daily will not give you that six pack you always wanted, it will just get you injured. Your abdomen, technically called the the rectus abdominis, is a muscle just like your biceps, quadriceps and triceps. If you train your abs intensely they need to rest and recover just like any other muscle group. Do not work out your abs every day. Training them two to three times a week, with a day of rest in between is ideal.

The problem is that focusing most of your time and effort on ab exercises and abs workout routines to flatten your stomach and bring out 6 pack abs is simply wasting your time!

If I were to choose an answer as to what the best exercises are for losing belly fat, my answer would includecompound exercises such as the following:

specific Forms of squats, lunges, deadlifts, clean & presses, snatches, swings, presses and pulls, mountain climbers, sprinting, etc.

These types of full body exercises would encompass a much higher percentage of the workouts I would design instead of abs exercises directly targeting the midsection. The way you combine those compound exercises into a specific workout that maximizes your metabolism is also super important.

Don't get me wrong... I do recommend a certain amount of exercises that directly target the abs and trigger you to lose belly fat, but these are only a small fraction of the programs I design for my clients as your time is better spent focusing on the compound exercises that trigger the greatest hormonal and metabolic changes within the body. In addition, working out using mostly full body multi-joint and compound combo exercises are that you indirectly work your entire midsection even though you are not specifically targeting the abs.

Remember that the most important factor for losing belly fat to see your abs is actually in the DIET!. No matter how hard you workout, if your diet is full of crap, then your abdominals will be covered with ugly fat. Diet is without a doubt the "king of getting a six pack".

So let's clear this up for good...

Stop wasting so all of your time focusing on those ab inventions and silly workouts in your efforts to try to develop 6-pack abs. Instead focus on high intensity full body lifts and compound movements using combination multi-joint exercises all strategically combined into highly effective fat loss workouts. Couple that with a fine tuned diet full of natural unprocessed whole foods as close to their natural state as possible, and those hiding six-pack abdominals will be yours in no time!

Myths

Performing thousands of sit-ups or crunches daily will not give you that six pack you always wanted, it will just get you injured.

If you train your abs intensely they need to rest and recover just like any other muscle group. Do not work out your abs every day. Training them two to three times a week, with a day of rest in between is ideal.

Diet

Eating correctly will give you the midsection you always dreamed of. A well balanced diet consisting of lean protein, vegetables, fruit and unprocessed, whole grains is necessary to maintain lean muscle tissue and burn fat. It is also important to fuel your body every three to four hours to keep your metabolism going strong throughout the day. If your body does not get enough calories, it will think its starving and will use its own muscle for fuel. Your metabolism will tank and you will lose that lean, super fit look.

Work at Home Position Placement Review

2010-05-20T06:23:00.000-07:00

www.HomeJobsReviews.com has now reviewed Work At Home Position Placement. Check it out before you buy it!

Work at home Position Placement:

Well, one of the most popular home job programs in USA and Canada right now is called “Work at home position Placement” and we are going to tell you a little bit about it, and give it a full review.

The first thing we noticed about this program, maybe the most important, is that you dont have to sell anything! There is nothing wrong with SMC home job programs, but it is a added stress having to promote and sell something, even if you do get a good wholesale discount. This is risk free in the sense that if you want to stop, you can. If you want to start back up, you can. No down time and no prep time.

This gives you a listing position, so basically once you log into your account, you will be set up with a listing position, and pick which one you want to do. You do the listing “Following their instructions”, and then you list something, and get paid once the listing is complete. It takes on average around 15 to 20 minutes to finish a listing. Sometimes you can get it done under ten minutes. Some of the big earners are doing listings in under 5 minutes, but that takes quite some practice.

Since you get paid for each individual listing, you can pick and choose how ofter you want to do this.

One thing we liked about this program is that it pays on individual listings, so like I said before, you get paid for each listing you do.

This program is very simple to use, and most important, it requires nothing further to invest in, like selling products, or selling ebooks and so on. There is no over-head, so you can stop or start whenever you like without worrying about re-stocking, or getting dropped from google is you sell internet related products (ebooks, manuals).

There support live is reported to be very helpfull, and there system has a 99% update rating. Which is good if your planning on working full time.

Hint: Make sure you read the manuals they give you, which basically help you write and post listings faster and better, which makes less work for you if you have to go back and edit, which of course they don’t pay for errors and time on fixing them.

Required to sell anything? No - no selling or promoting your own products! (Very important quality)

Ok, let's take a look at some more details with User Testing Jobs, and see what the buzz is all about. As always, we will be doing regular updates on this job program if any changes are made to the structure of the program.

Well, one of the most popular home job programs in USA and Canada right now is called "User Testing Jobs" and we are going to tell you a little bit about it, and give it a full review.

The first thing we noticed about this program, maybe the most important, is that you dont have to sell anything! There is nothing wrong with SMC home job programs, but it is a added stress having to promote and sell something, even if you do get a good wholesale discount. This is risk free in the sense that if you want to stop, you can. If you want to start back up, you can. No down time and no prep time.

This gives you a listing position, so basically once you log into your account, you will be set up with a listing position, and pick which one you want to do. You do the listing "Following their instructions", and then you list something, and get paid once the listing is complete. It takes on average around 15 to 20 minutes to finish a listing. Sometimes you can get it done under ten minutes. Some of the big earners are doing listings in under 5 minutes, but that takes quite some practice.

Since you get paid for each individual listing, you can pick and choose how ofter you want to do this.

One thing we liked about this program is that it pays on individual listings, so like I said before, you get paid for each listing you do.

This program is very simple to use, and most important, it requires nothing further to invest in, like selling products, or selling ebooks and so on. There is no over-head, so you can stop or start whenever you like without worrying about re-stocking, or getting dropped from google is you sell internet related products (ebooks, manuals).

There support live is reported to be very helpfull, and there system has a 99% update rating. Which is good if your planning on working full time.

Hint: Make sure you read the manuals they give you, which basically help you write and post listings faster and better, which makes less work for you if you have to go back and edit, which of course they don't pay for errors and time on fixing them.

So, if you are interested in trying out this program, click below and follow the steps. It's very easy to get your account live, and up and running.

We give this program 5 out of 5 stars. It pretty much meets all of our requirements, and adds a few new things that we think will be the new standard in Home Job Programs.

Earn extra money as a college student - How College students earn extra money.

2010-05-03T08:28:00.000-07:00

Living as a college student is hard, mainly due to the fact that we have to take out big student loans, and live off kraft dinner for 4 years.

On the news I found a job program you can do online, that can make you around 100$ per day, if you spend a few hours doing it.

Check out this program from www.HomejobsReviews.com

Its called Home Income Profit System, mainly SMC big profits.

It was made for moms and dads who needed extra cash, but college students are takin full advantage of this.

They offer a free trial for college students, so take advantage of this before they stop the free trial.

Home Income Profit System - Review from www.HomeJobsReviews.com

2010-05-03T07:51:00.000-07:00

We found the best review of the popular home job program called Home Income Profit System.

Unlike most home job programs, Home Income Profit system allows you to test it out, and make money off their system. Most home job programs require full large payments for their program without even testing it out.

We always test out Home Job Programs to see if anyone can do it, but most important is if they work at all. This program passed all our tests because it’s a legit work at home systen, and does bank on a system that may go “Offline” like so many before.

If you want a program that really does make money, but most important give you some type of asset, this is the best the internet has to offer right now.

Bullet Point: Besides the profitable system this program has, and how stable it is, the aspect we liked the most is the money back policy, and the fact that you can test it out for FREE – So, try out the Free trial.

This home job program is best suited for work at home moms and dads with NO experience.
If you have access to a computer, an internet connection and basic typing skills YOU could be making money with this system, even on their free trial.

They claim it earns around $300 per day, but we had reports of an average of $100 to $200 per day.

We have given this program our Gold Star Award, and list this as “Top Home Job of 2010″

Lazacor – Sexual Performance Enhancer – Female Libido – Increase Sex Drive – Higher Male Libido! Review and Free Trial!

2010-04-14T14:46:00.000-07:00

Brought to you by: www.InsiderBusinessNews.com

Lazacor, the new Sexual Performance Enhancer, Female and male Libido enhancer has hit the markets, and we are giving it a run down, and full review. We give it 10 out of 10 - Great product, and has a very good track record. They are giving away a free trial for people who want to give it a try. Click here, or a banner below to get access to the FREE TRIAL page. You just have to pay $4.95 shipping charges.

Is This Product Safe?

Yes! Lazacor is a safe, natural solution, made from only the finest homeopathic ingredients. What does that mean for you? It means you won’t be dealing with any of the unpleasant (and dangerous) side effects that come with prescription medications, such as some of the popular erectile dysfunction drugs now on the market.

Is the Formula the Same for Both Men and Women?

No. In fact, we have two separate formulas. Why? Because men and women are different and have different needs. Our Lazacor for Men focuses not only on increasing sex drive, but on better performance, harder erections, and greater stamina. Lazacor for Women focuses on enhancing sexual desire, readiness and natural lubrication. Both formulas are equally effective. After all, each is specially designed to address the individual physiological needs of men and women.

How Long Does It Take to Start Working?

On average, three to six days. But everyone is different. Some of our customers have noticed a difference the very first day, while others have noticed effects after a longer period of time. We tell our customers to expect a substantial jump in sex drive within 14 days of using our product.

Can I Take Lazacor Safely If I Have Health Conditions, Like High Cholesterol?

Absolutely. One of the best things about Lazacor is that it’s holistic, remember? That means it’s good for the body. Our current customers who suffer from conditions like High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, etc. have seen phenomenal results. Surprisingly enough, not only has their performance in the bedroom improved, but they report a general step forward in overall health as well. If you are currently on medications with high risk factors, here’s our recommendation. Just to be safe, take a list of the ingredients found on our website to your physician to make sure there are no adverse interactions.

Are online jobs the answer to our nation’s recession? Susan Daniels says “You better believe it!” As a mother of three living in Julian, California, Daniels is presently making more money than ever before working from home – all during the worst economic crisis in our history.

In a recent interview, she stated, “I make $75 an hour just by posting listings for Fortune 500 companies on eBay. Right now, I’m earning $975+ a month.”
Susan told us that after joining the Official Home Job Placement Program, she has never made so much money before, especially from home.

Susan’s situation is all too common these days. Until her recent layoff, she worked as a well-compensated sales rep for a national supply company. Ironically, as happens in too many homes across America today, on the same day she was laid off, her husband also received his pink slip.

“We went from a two-income household to no income at all. We had to act fast if we wanted to stay in our home, pay our bills and feed our family. With so few jobs available in our town, we checked out work-at-home opportunities online.”

Featured on www.InsiderBusinessNews.com

To add insult to injury, Susan and Jim fell prey to a couple costly web scams. “We didn’t realize how many vultures there are out their looking for out-of-work people… but once we realized they were pyramid schemes disguised as legit opportunities, we got out fast.”

Acai Weight Loss

2010-03-18T06:31:00.000-07:00

Acai Weight loss - www.HowToBuyAcai.com

If you are interested in new ways to look younger, lose weight, and still stay healthy, then you have heard of acai berry. It has gained popularity with it being mentioned in CNN news, health magazines, and gossip columns as Hollywood stars reveal it to be their secret weapon in attaining health and beauty.

Just check out the reviews on www.HowToBuyAcai.com

There are lost of acai berry products that are being sold in the market today. Aside from the fresh fruit itself, there are processed goods such as puree, juice, tablets or pills and others. The thing is, since the publication of the benefits of this fruit, many business minded people centered or invested in its marketing. Now, there are numerous brands that consumers are confused on which acai berry product to buy.

Anyway, what is acai berry anyway? This is actually a palm plant that got it’s name (also spelled as aqai) from a Tupian word that means a fruit that expels water. The fruit is a small, round, and deep purple in color. It resembles a grape but it is described to be of less pulp.

www.HowToBuyAcai.com

Acai berry has played a major role in the diet of the natives of Amazon in Brazil. In fact, they consider it as the most important plant because it makes up 42 % of their food if taken by weight. Before or aside from acai being consumed as a juice, ice cream flavor, it is also added to liquor.

However, the biggest break acai berry has in the marketing world was when it was popularized as a dietary supplement. Many companies took advantage in this fad and some of them are actually fraud. They may say that their products are 100% from acai berry but actually, it is just a placebo. It was then that there had been news on the wonderful fruit being “just another health scam”.

www.HowToBuyAcai.com

Acai berry is known as an antioxidant. It means that ingesting it regularly helps eliminate the free radicals present in your body that causes you to look older. It is also said to be good for the heart as it helps lower bad cholesterol and it increases the good cholesterol. Bad cholesterol is the reason people, fat or thin, have circulation problems which may result to stroke. Moreover, one of the reasons acai berry is very much in demand is because it hastens your metabolism and thus make you burn calories.

www.HowToBuyAcai.com

On the other hand, acai berry is not only used as a food. This palm’s leaves can be crafted into brooms, baskets and mats. The trunks can be used to build construction. The seeds can be grounded and added to chicken feed or used as an organic fertilizer.

Work at Home Jobs - www.InsiderBusinessNews.com Monthly Featured Story!

Are online jobs the answer to our nation’s recession? Susan Daniels says “You better believe it!” As a mother of three living in Julian, California, Daniels is presently making more money than ever before working from home – all during the worst economic crisis in our history.

In a recent interview, she stated, “I make $75 an hour just by posting listings for Fortune 500 companies on eBay. Right now, I’m earning $975+ a month.”

Susan told us that after joining the Official Home Job Placement Program, she has never made so much money before, especially from home.

Susan’s situation is all too common these days. Until her recent layoff, she worked as a well-compensated sales rep for a national supply company. Ironically, as happens in too many homes across America today, on the same day she was laid off, her husband also received his pink slip.

“We went from a two-income household to no income at all. We had to act fast if we wanted to stay in our home, pay our bills and feed our family. With so few jobs available in our town, we checked out work-at-home opportunities online.”

To add insult to injury, Susan and Jim fell prey to a couple costly web scams. “We didn’t realize how many vultures there are out their looking for out-of-work people… but once we realized they were pyramid schemes disguised as legit opportunities, we got out fast.”

The Daniels’ luck all changed when they made the decision to avoid small companies with uncertain reputations.

“We wanted to work from home. We needed to find a real opportunity. So, we decided to go to a work-at-home job placement company and see if they had any job listings in our area. They were able to place us in a job working with Fortune 500 companies listing auctions on eBay for them. The pay has been great, we have been earning $75 an hour, and we’ve never been happier.”

Home Job Placement is one of the most successful online job placement firms. They have helped over 16,493 people find legitimate work-at-home jobs

With their new career choice, Susan and Jim saw immediate results. Money was literally flooding in, and in an ironic twist, the couple couldn’t be happier about getting laid off.

“We are so grateful that we discovered Home Job Placement. When we found out how easy it was to become certified as Auction Listing Specialists, it took away all the stress and worry and showed us exactly how to make tons of money every day just by posting simple listings on eBay for companies like Microsoft, Compaq, Izod, Calvin Klein, and Apple,” explains Jim Vickers.

“I basically make around $6000 to $7000 a month now“
-Susan Daniels

However, The Daniels’ story doesn’t end there…

“Since we were making more money than ever before, we didn’t think things could get any better. We were wrong. Our paychecks just kept getting bigger and bigger!”

Susan proudly showed us one her most recent checks from her job she got through Home Job Placement:

But, Susan has a warning for anybody considering working from home online.

“Watch out for those sites that promise you’ll make millions overnight. With Home Job Placement you’re NOT going to make millions. Who else is going to tell you that? But you are going to get certified fast, be offered a real position immediately, and make a great income with much less work – and you’ll never have to worry about getting laid off or looking for a job ever again.”

From our research, Home Job Placement is the best of the best. In just four steps anybody can secure a home job and start earning.

Step 1: Go to Home Job Placement – check and see if any jobs are available in your area.

Step 2: If there are any jobs available in your area, get certified as an Auction Listing Specialist (it’s super quick & easy); this qualifies you for instant placement in an actual paying position as well as gives you full access to all the training tools and resources you need.

Step 3: Set up your account and start earning money posting auction listings. The instructions are very easy to understand, and Home Job Placement gives you all the information you need to start posting (and earning) immediately.

Step 4: Get paid!

Plus, since it takes only 3-4 minutes per posting and they provide everything you need, you can begin making up to $75 an hour immediately! And you get paid fast!

Exposing the “Work-At-Home” Scams!

2010-03-02T07:36:00.000-08:00

Feature story from www.InsiderBusinessNews.com

Due to our recession, many people including Parents, students, and just about anyone who is suffering from the recession is looking online for the "mysterious" fountain of money that so many websites and internet companies promise.
Please take a moment to read this report, and learn the right way people earn money from home.
We wrote a story last month regarding a single mom earning money from home, and from our research we thought we would write about the "Do Not's" of earning from home. Check out below our story on Home Job Placement.

Check out our story featured last month:

Do not sign up for any company or website that has "Automated" investing programs. Basically these software programs make you pay for their software, in which you instal and make big money from this software program making stock or FOREX trades for you. We are here to tell you, NONE OF THEM WORK!
Do not sign up or buy a product explaining how to make money, as in a Ebook - These peope write very shady Ebooks that basically give you advice on how they made "Millions" - Save your MONEY!
Do not sign up or buy a "Wealth Product". These products are systems of making money. They basically get you to sing up, and make a 1 time payment, in which they show you how to sign up to affiliate networks. Sure, we can all sign up for affiliate networks, but thats as far as they go. How are you suppose to market a product you know nothing about, or have no marketing background. These are the worst, and NEVER work!
Do not sign up or buy "Selling Products" type of earn from home business. These are without a doubt the worst. You basically sign up, and they give you a list of products you can sell, and you get like 4% comission.

These are the top "Scams" out there. We are sure these companies will be un-happy with how we exposed them, but they needed to be exposed. These companies are just like you, they are looking for money, and they are trying to make money off you. Sure, we cant blame them for trying to make money, but we thought we would give you a little head start ahead of these companies.
We have reviewed that Home Job Placement companies are the way to go. Sure you wont make millions and billions, but its the only legit way to make money from home, and it's a lot more fun than selling tires and Ebay prodcuts!

How to earn money while at home! www.insiderbusinessnews.com

2010-03-01T09:19:00.001-08:00

Are online jobs the answer to our nation’s recession? Susan Daniels says “You better believe it!” As a mother of three living in Julian, California, Daniels is presently making more money than ever before working from home – all during the worst economic crisis in our history.

In a recent interview, she stated, “I make $75 an hour just by posting listings for Fortune 500 companies on eBay. Right now, I’m earning $975+ a month.”

Susan told us that after joining the Official Home Job Placement Program, she has never made so much money before, especially from home.

Susan's situation is all too common these days. Until her recent layoff, she worked as a well-compensated sales rep for a national supply company. Ironically, as happens in too many homes across America today, on the same day she was laid off, her husband also received his pink slip.

“We went from a two-income household to no income at all. We had to act fast if we wanted to stay in our home, pay our bills and feed our family. With so few jobs available in our town, we checked out work-at-home opportunities online.”

To add insult to injury, Susan and Jim fell prey to a couple costly web scams. “We didn’t realize how many vultures there are out their looking for out-of-work people… but once we realized they were pyramid schemes disguised as legit opportunities, we got out fast.”

The Daniels’ luck all changed when they made the decision to avoid small companies with uncertain reputations.

“We wanted to work from home. We needed to find a real opportunity. So, we decided to go to a work-at-home job placement company and see if they had any job listings in our area. They were able to place us in a job working with Fortune 500 companies listing auctions on eBay for them. The pay has been great, we have been earning $75 an hour, and we’ve never been happier.”

Home Job Placement is one of the most successful online job placement firms. They have helped over 16,493 people find legitimate work-at-home jobs

With their new career choice, Susan and Jim saw immediate results. Money was literally flooding in, and in an ironic twist, the couple couldn’t be happier about getting laid off.

“We are so grateful that we discovered Home Job Placement. When we found out how easy it was to become certified as Auction Listing Specialists, it took away all the stress and worry and showed us exactly how to make tons of money every day just by posting simple listings on eBay for companies like Microsoft, Compaq, Izod, Calvin Klein, and Apple,” explains Jim Vickers.

"I basically make around $6000 to $7000 a month now"
-Susan Daniels

However, The Daniels’ story doesn’t end there…

“Since we were making more money than ever before, we didn’t think things could get any better. We were wrong. Our paychecks just kept getting bigger and bigger!”

Susan proudly showed us one her most recent checks from her job she got through Home Job Placement:

But, Susan has a warning for anybody considering working from home online.

“Watch out for those sites that promise you’ll make millions overnight. With Home Job Placement you’re NOT going to make millions. Who else is going to tell you that? But you are going to get certified fast, be offered a real position immediately, and make a great income with much less work – and you’ll never have to worry about getting laid off or looking for a job ever again.”

From our research, Home Job Placement is the best of the best. In just four steps anybody can secure a home job and start earning.

Step 1: Go to Home Job Placement – check and see if any jobs are available in your area.

Step 2: If there are any jobs available in your area, get certified as an Auction Listing Specialist (it’s super quick & easy); this qualifies you for instant placement in an actual paying position as well as gives you full access to all the training tools and resources you need.

Step 3: Set up your account and start earning money posting auction listings. The instructions are very easy to understand, and Home Job Placement gives you all the information you need to start posting (and earning) immediately.

Step 4: Get paid!

Plus, since it takes only 3-4 minutes per posting and they provide everything you need, you can begin making up to $75 an hour immediately! And you get paid fast!

TheCouponDr.com - Giving away free Laptops and Airline tickets!

2010-02-22T17:41:00.000-08:00

TheCouponDr.com has been the buzz around the USA as they are the most popular free giveaway website, as they review all offers, and never post dead-end offers.

Most offers all you have to do is submit your ZIP or Email, as in some parts of the world, these offers simply do not work.

TheCouponDr.com has offers from Education, Laptops, Iphones, Ipads, Apple macbooks, airline tickets and much more.

Laptops offers seem to be the best part of this website, as it covers most laptops that giveaway laptops.

Is the FREE DELL Laptop for real? - YES, we got it!

2010-02-19T06:54:00.000-08:00

GET YOUR DELL STUDIO XPS 16

Many of us are trained to be skeptical especially about things that seem too good to be true. Our parents have brought us up in such a way that we do not easily give our trust and confidence in others whom we do not deeply know. This kind of upbringing affects the way we look at promotional tactics done by many companies as of the present times. We hear about freebies and great deals and the first question that pops in our minds questions its legitimacy.

One such example is the free laptop offers that we often hear or read about. For instance, there are companies which offer a free Dell laptop and the initial reaction would be of disbelief and of skepticism. Many of us would think that the deal is too good to be true.

It is important to know, however, that there are real and existing companies which offer such great deals as part of their promotional campaign. That means that these companies are giving away great items as freebies not just for the heck of it but more because of the reason that they are also getting something from it. And there is nothing wrong with that. As we said, it is a promotional campaign and both the company and the individual at the other end would benefit from it.

These free laptop offers have become so effective in the past years that more and more companies are actually giving away more freebies. More often than not, you are simply required to take part in a certain campaign and that can be as simple as answering surveys, signing up for membership or subscription, or taking part in a study. Now, if you think that you are too busy or too rich already, then you can always turn away from such offers. If, on the other hand, you see yourself wanting to have a free Dell laptop, then the best move is to grab the opportunity as it is not always offered all the time.

Simply put, these free Dell laptop offers are real and legitimate. It is a company's right to give away such items if they feel the need is present. Of course, it would also be wise on your part to do not go about the deal blindly. Before grabbing the great opportunity, you should first know what your role in the deal is.

However the EUR/GBP currency pair has seen a lot of movement in recent times and there has never been a better time to profit on these currencies - so in the current times, it’s not a concern at all.

Stock Market Reactions to Economic News

2006-08-12T08:33:00.000-07:00

The markets often anticipate the release of key economic news and data. However, when economic news are released that have not been anticipated, the markets often respond by adjusting to the new data and revised outlook.

Keep in mind that each economic report must be considered as part of the total economic picture comprising numerous reports, indicators, and other data measuring economic activity. Investors should not overreact to any particular item of news.

Should the market react to certain economic news, how significant these news are in the overall economic outlook? You should know that any one report has limited significance and that economic activity is measured by the review of numerous reports in their totality.

The market reacts differently to the same news in bull and bear markets!

In bull markets negative news surprises create short and sharp sell-offs that are immediately followed by strong rallies.

In bear markets negative news usually accentuates the downward trend without the subsequent recovery in prices.

Positive news surprises accentuate bull market advances and do little to alleviate bear market declines.

Because economic data provides clues to the strength of the economy, investors study each report for a better understanding of the health of the economy.

If the economy is perceived as overheated with a risk of inflation, bond prices fall and yields rise anticipating future monetary tightening by the Central Bank. During periods of economic weakness and low inflationary pressures, bond prices rise and yields fall as traders expect eventual easing of monetary policy.

The stock market usually responds to changes in interest rate yields and the economic outlook. Rising rates during expansion eventually cause economic slowdown and lower stock prices. Declining rates during contraction eventually lead to increased economic activity and higher stock prices.

Investors must be concerned with the position of the economy within the overall business cycle.

That will allow greater certainty and provide some guidance for timely accumulation of stocks in industry groups and sectors that perform well under a variety of economic conditions.

Video Lesson: MACD Step by step.

2006-08-07T09:58:00.000-07:00

Video is courtesy of Brian Shannon, at Alpha trends.

In this lesson I have provided a video explaining the very famous technical indicator, MACD.

MACD is A trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-day exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-day EMA. A nine-day EMA of the MACD, called the "signal line", is then plotted on top of the MACD, functioning as a trigger for buy and sell signals.

There are three common methods used to interpret the MACD:

1. Crossovers - As shown in the chart above, when the MACD falls below the signal line, it is a bearish signal, which indicates that it may be time to sell. Conversely, when the MACD rises above the signal line, the indicator gives a bullish signal, which suggests that the price of the asset is likely to experience upward momentum. Many traders wait for a confirmed cross above the signal line before entering into a position to avoid getting getting "faked out" or entering into a position too early, as shown by the first arrow.

2. Divergence - When the security price diverges from the MACD. It signals the end of the current trend.

3. Dramatic rise - When the MACD rises dramatically - that is, the shorter moving average pulls away from the longer-term moving average - it is a signal that the security is overbought and will soon return to normal levels.

Traders also watch for a move above or below the zero line because this signals the position of the short-term average relative to the long-term average. When the MACD is above zero, the short-term average is above the long-term average, which signals upward momentum. The opposite is true when the MACD is below zero. As you can see from the chart above, the zero line often acts as an area of support and resistance for the indicator.

Featured Trading Firm: COBRA TRADING, INC.

2006-07-11T09:16:00.000-07:00

In this post we review direct access broker, Cobra Trading, Inc. Cobra Trading offers stock, option and Forex trading through a choice of software systems. Cobra Trading’s equity and options trading platforms include; InstaQuote, TradeStream and OmniPro. Forex trading is offered through GFT and their DealBook FX2 platform.

The big difference I noticed between Cobra Trading, Inc. and most online trading firms is that we were able to talk to a member of their staff immediately without any phone queues or hold times. When trouble arises with their systems or we need to place an order via the phone this is an extremely critical point to keep in mind. They also don’t have any additional fees for phoned in orders.

I looked at Cobra’s InstaQuote offering for equities and options, and I looked at GFT’s DealBook FX2 platform for Forex Trading. Cobra Trading, Inc. offers free demo’s of all their systems through their website at www.cobratrading.com. A brief flash demo highlighting the InstaQuote platform can be found at the following link:

Click here for the Cobra DEMO

Cobra’s commissions are posted on their website, but in conversations with Cobra Trading representatives, they are very aggressive in matching or beating competitors offers. This is maybe the best broker I have tested.
Cobra’s toll-free phone number is 877-792-6272.

Worth a look if you’re tired of being just another account number or want to check out their first rate software’s.

I give this broker a 10 out of 10.

Lesson: What are warrants?

2006-07-02T20:31:00.000-07:00

A warrant, like an option, gives the holder the right but not the obligation to buy an underlying security at a certain price, quantity and future time. However, unlike an option, an instrument of the stock exchange, a warrant is issued by a company. The security represented in the warrant (usually share equity) is delivered by the issuing company instead of an investor holding the shares.

Companies will often include warrants as part of a new-issue offering to entice investors into buying the new security. A warrant can also increase a shareholder's confidence in a stock, if the underlying value of the security actually does increase overtime.

There are two different types of warrants: a call warrant and a put warrant. A call warrant represents a specific number of shares that can be purchased from the issuer at a specific price, on or before a certain date. A put warrant represents a certain amount of equity that can be sold back to the issuer at a specified price, on or before a stated date.

Characteristics of a Warrant
Warrant certificates have stated particulars regarding the investment tool they represent. All warrants have a specified expiry date, the last day the rights of a warrant can be executed. Warrants are classified by their exercise style: an American warrant, for instance, can be exercised anytime before or on the stated expiry date, and a European warrant, on the other hand, can be carried out only on the day of expiration.

The underlying instrument the warrant represents is also stated on warrant certificates. A warrant typically corresponds to a specific number of shares, but it can also represent a commodity, index or a currency.

The exercise or strike price is the amount that must be paid in order to either buy the call warrant or sell the put warrant. The payment of the strike price results in a transfer of the specified amount of the underlying instrument.

The conversion ratio is the number of warrants needed in order to buy (or sell) one investment tool. Therefore, if the conversion ratio to buy stock XYZ is 3:1, this means that the holder needs three warrants in order to purchase one share. Usually, if the conversion ratio is high, the price of the share will be low, and vice versa. (In the case of an index warrant, an index multiplier would be stated instead. This figure would be used to determine the amount payable to the holder upon the exercise date.)

Investing In Warrants
Warrants are transferable, quoted certificates, and they tend to be more attractive for medium-term to long-term investment schemes. Tending to be high risk, high return investment tools that remain largely unexploited in investment strategies, warrants are also an attractive option for speculators and hedgers. Transparency is high and warrants offer a viable option for private investors as well. This is because the cost of a warrant is commonly low, and the initial investment needed to command a large amount of equity is actually quite small.

Advantages
Let us look at an example that illustrates one of the potential benefits of warrants. Say that XYZ shares are currently priced on the market for $1.50 per share. In order to purchase 1,000 shares, an investor would need $1,500. However, if the investor opted to buy a warrant (representing one share) that was going for $0.50 per warrant, with the same $1,500, he or she would be in possession of 3,000 shares instead!

Because the prices of warrants are low, the leverage and gearing they offer is high. This means that there is a potential for larger capital gains and losses. While it is common for both a share price and a warrant price to move in parallel (in absolute terms) the percentage gain (or loss), will be significantly varied because of the initial difference in price. Warrants generally exaggerate share price movements in terms of percentage change.

Let us look at another example to illustrate these points. Say that share XYZ gains $0.30 per share from $1.50, to close at $1.80. The percentage gain would be 20%. However, with a $0.30 gain in the warrant, from $0.50 to $0.80, the percentage gain would be 60%.

In this example, the gearing factor is calculated by dividing the original share price by the original warrant price: $1.50 / $0.50 = 3. The '3' is the gearing factor, and the higher the number, the larger the potential for capital gains (or losses).

Warrants can offer significant gains to an investor during a bull market. They can also offer some protection to an investor during a bear market. This is because as the price of an underlying share begins to drop, the warrant may not realize as much loss because the price, in relation to the actual share, is already low.

Disadvantages
Like any other type of investment, warrants also have their drawbacks and risks. As mentioned above, the leverage and gearing warrants offer can be high. But these can also work to the disadvantage of the investor. If we reverse the outcome of the example from above and realize a drop in absolute price by $0.30, the percentage loss for the share price would be 20%, while the loss on the warrant would be 60%!

Another disadvantage and risk to the warrant investor is that the value of the certificate can drop to zero. If that were to happen before it is exercised, the warrant would lose any redemption value.

Finally, a holder of a warrant does not have any voting, shareholding or dividend rights. The investor can therefore have no say in the functioning of the company, even though he or she is affected by any decisions made.

This video is a prime example of how to buy the dip in an uptrend. Thank you ChartTv for providing me wit this video to use in my blog.
ChartTv made this call in October of last year and it turned out to be spot on. They picked the bottom of a dip in an uptrend. This market quickly reversed immediately after this call was made and continued to rally on to new highs for many months afterwards. In this video They make use of percentrage retracements, candlestick, moving average and MACD analysis to come to the conclusion that this pullback was over and it was time for the uptrend to resume

Hot Topic - Uranium Investing

2006-06-20T11:28:00.000-07:00

Uranium Prices May Reach “Unbelievable Highs”

Toronto-based Sprott Asset Management research analyst, Kevin Bambrough, told STOCKINTERVIEW.COM, “There is a good possibility of a supply crunch that could drive uranium prices to unbelievable highs.” Various analysts predict price targets for spot uranium, in the near-term, above $40. Canadian Augen Capital Corp’s managing director David Mason speculated, “$100 (US) a pound is within reason within the next year or two.” Sydney-based Resource Capital Research is half as generous, forecasting $50/pound by 2007, explaining another 40 percent jump in spot uranium prices will be “driven by end users in the power generation market which is urgently trying to secure supply into the future.”

The uranium market is hot. Uranium prices have reached landmark numbers recently. Now that Australia and China have an agreement for Australia to sell uranium for power generation, restrictions on Australian uranium mining should be lifted, according to uranium mining industry leaders.
Before the agreement was announced, uranium stocks haved surged over 30% in recent weeks. News of the agreement being official could set uranium stocks soaring.
The uranium market, like all commodity markets, has a history of volatility, moving not only with the standard forces of supply and demand, but also to whims of geopolitics. It has also evolved particularities of its own in response to the unique nature and use of this material.
The only significant commercial use for uranium is to fuel nuclear reactors for the generation of electricity. There are 440 reactors operating worldwide, and a total of 69 new reactors that are under construction or planned for completion within the next 10 years (as of January 2006)

Hot Topic - Alternative Energy Investments

2006-06-14T15:38:00.000-07:00

The oil market is not the only one looking up. Alternative fuel stocks are also attracting many investors. Because oil and gas are expensive, Americans are looking for cheaper nonfossil fuel and that demand is boosting the alternative fuel stocks as well. This is especially good for anyone who cares for the environment -- the greens. If you consider yourself an environmentalist or a preservationist, this is perfect for you, for you are now able to support efforts to preserve the environment while at the same time profiting from those efforts. It's a win-win situation. Consider this: Pacific Ethanol Inc., a small ethanol-producing company started in 2003 by Bill Jones, the former secretary of state for the state of California, has trebled its stock price on NASDAQ to about $30 a share within a year of going public in March of 2005. Like many other similar renewable fuel start-ups, millions of dollars in private equity money are being thrown at Pacific Ethanol like the world is coming to an end. Billionaire Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft, is one of those investing in renewable fuel stocks. Gates' investment company, Cascade Investment, has agreed to pump $84 million in Pacific Ethanol.

The U.S. government has recognized alternative fuel as the fuel for the future and has included a number of tax incentives in the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the energy law signed in the summer of 2005, to spur growth in the alternative fuel sector. If you haven't already, you should give alternative stocks a try as it will make you feel morally stronger. It's been nearly three decades since efforts to promote alternative fuel floundered after the 1973 oil crisis, but it's making a comeback. Still, alternative fuel remains a small industry, with small cap companies dominating. Since 2005, 15 of the 36 companies in the WilderHill Clean Energy index have made huge profits. That includes hydroelectric power and wind energy, solar energy, and fuel cells.

Some of the most successful companies in the renewable fuel sector are huge conglomerates, like General Electric and Germany's Siemens, and also big oil companies, like BP, that are hedging their bets. Investing in these companies offers a chance to own a clean energy stock. Here's some information about GE worth knowing: It made close to $2 billion in sales from production of wind-powered turbines in 2005, treble what it made from that business unit in 2002. However, that's only 1 percent of GE's revenues.

There's a lot of hope that alternative fuel technologies developed by some of the smaller companies will become commercially viable and help support the sector. As a result, stocks for these companies are expected to soar. WilderHill Clean Energy Index gained 26 percent in the past 12 months alone, compared with 50 percent for oil. That's not bad, considering this is not an established sector in the United States.

Moreover, since continued oil supply is uncertain, a lot more consumers are going to turn to coal, which is abundantly available in the United States, China, and India. Coal used to be frowned upon because of its dirt, but technology has improved enough to make it just as clean as other fuels. Shrewd investors could buy shares in U.S. coal producers, including the two biggest, Peabody Energy Corp. and Arch Coal Inc., both based in St. Louis, Missouri. Coal companies have profited from the current oil boom.

Investing in coal doesn't mean that Big Oil isn't safe anymore. It only means that you are on much firmer ground when you have a diversified portfolio. If you look at both types of stocks, the difference isn't large. Exxon Mobil, for instance, returned 36 percent to its shareholders in market appreciation and dividends in 2005 and BP returned 21 percent. Peabody Energy stockholders, meanwhile, did far better in the same time period. They more than doubled their money, and Peabody shares have risen more than three and a half times since the company's initial public offering in 2001. Arch Coal stock returned 65 percent in 2005 as well.

Coal producers have benefited from increased demand from power plants and steelmakers in the United States, China, and India. Massey Energy Co. of Richmond, Virginia, for instance, said its average selling price for coal used in steel-making jumped 38 percent in 2005. Consol Energy, Inc. of Pittsburgh, the third largest U.S. producer, plans a $500 million mine expansion to keep up with orders.

Soaring prices for natural gas have given coal demand another lift. Many electric power plants have switched from gas to coal, which costs about half as much. In the spring of 2006, Duke Energy Corp. closed on a deal purchasing Cinergy Corp. for about $9 billion, in large part because of Cinergy's coal-fired plants.

Back to oil, we've also seen that the market has been good to minnows as well. In fact, some smaller oil companies also have outperformed the giants. For instance, Apache Corp. of Houston produced a 12-month total return of 51 percent for its stockholders, helped by increased first-quarter selling prices of 51 percent for crude oil and 11 percent for natural gas. Apache recently bought property from Shell, BP, and Exxon Mobil and its profit rose tremendously in 2005. Oil transport companies have not been left behind. Overseas Shipholding Group of New York made an acquisition in 2005 that made it the world's second-largest oil tanker company. The bigger fleet, combined with higher tanker rates, boosted the company's 2005 earnings by about 40 percent. The world's biggest owner of oil tankers, Teekay Shipping Corp. of Vancouver, Canada, capitalized on high energy prices in yet another way. In the fall of 2005, Teekay raised $132 million through the public sale of a 20 percent interest in Teekay LNG Partners LP, whose ships carry liquefied natural gas and crude oil.

Is it too late to buy energy stocks, large or small? BlackRock, Inc., which manages $391 billion, doesn't seem to think so. It reported to the SEC in late summer of 2005 that after $870 million in purchases, it owned stakes in Peabody, Arch, Consol, and Massey ranging from 3.3 to 8.8 percent. The money manager also has a 4.7 percent stake in Newfield Exploration Co., an oil-and-gas company that returned 49 percent to its shareholders in 2005.

The bottom line is this: The world needs a lot of energy, but supply is getting tighter; an "überspike" in oil prices is in the making and the potential rewards for the savvy energy investor are huge.

Lesson: Pivot Points

2006-06-09T13:13:00.000-07:00

What is a Pivot Point and why should investors focus on them ?

A Pivot Point resides near the top of a trading range as a stock is developing a Handle. The proper time to buy a stock is when it begins to break above its Pivot Point and is accompanied by increasing volume.

Here are some Examples

EBAY formed a 1 year Cup and then developed a 6 week Handle with a trading range between $65 and $71. The top of the trading range was near $71 which acted as the Pivot Point for EBAY. EBAY eventually broke above its Pivot Point in early January accompanied by an in increase in volume (point A).

Another example is shown by ERES which formed a 1 1/2 year Cup followed by the development of an 8 week Handle with a trading range between $10 and $11. In this case the top of the trading range was near $11 which served as the Pivot Point. ERES broke above its Pivot Point in April of 2002 accompanied by very strong volume (point B).

Another example is of HITK which formed a 1 1/2 year Cup followed by a 5 week Handle (point C) with a trading range between $9 and $11. In this example the top of the trading range was near $11 which served as the Pivot Point. HITK eventually broke above its Pivot Point in November of 2002 accompanied by an increasing in volume as well (point D).

As you can see the best time to purchase a stock is when it begins to break out of a favorable chart pattern such as the "Cup and Handle" and above its Pivot Point accompanied by increasing volume.

Lesson: Limiting losses

2006-06-07T10:30:00.000-07:00

Like I have said .before, risk management is the key to having a successful career in trading. In this post I will show you how you can limit your .losses, which is the number one killer of trading accounts.

A common level of acceptable loss for one's trading account is 2% of equity in the trading account. The capital in your trading account is your risk capital, the capital that you employ (that you risk) on a day-to-day basis to try to garner profits for your enterprise.

The loss-limit system can even be implemented before entering a trade. When you are deciding how much of a particular trading instrument to purchase, you would simultaneously calculate how much in losses you could sustain on that trade without breaching your 2% rule. When establishing your position, you would also place a stop order within a maximum of 2% loss of the total equity in your account. Of course, your stop can be anywhere from a 0% to 2% total loss. A lower level of risk is perfectly acceptable if the individual trade or philosophy demands it.

Every trader has a different reaction to the 2% rule of thumb. Many traders think that a 2% risk limit is too small and that it stifles their ability to engage in riskier trading decisions with a larger portion of their trading accounts. On the other hand, most professionals think that 2% is a ridiculously high level of risk and prefer losses to be limited to around 0.5-0.25% of their portfolios. Granted, the pros would naturally be more risk averse than those with smaller accounts - a 2% loss on a large portfolio is a devastating blow. Regardless of the size of your capital, it is wise to be conservative rather than aggressive when first devising your trading strategy.

A useful rule of thumb for overall monthly losses is a maximum of 6% of your portfolio. As soon as your account equity dips to 6% below that which it registered on the last day of the previous month, stop trading! Yes, you heard me correctly. When you have hit your 6% loss limit, cease trading entirely for the rest of the month. In fact, when your 6% circuit breaker is tripped, go even further and close all of your outstanding positions, and spend the rest of the month on the sidelines. Take the last days of the month to regroup, analyze the problems, observe the markets and prepare for re-entry when you are confident that you can prevent a similar occurrence in the following month.

How do you go about instituting the 6% loss-limiting system? You have to calculate your equity each and every day. This includes all of the cash in your trading account, cash equivalents and the current market value of all open positions in your account. Compare this daily total with your equity total on the last trading day of the previous month and, if you are approaching the 6% threshold, prepare to cease trading.

If you can stick to this, the first years of trading might not be so painful, but if you get in the habit of breaking your own risk management plan, you might be in a world of hurt.
I hope this help, and please stay tuned for Monday, for I will have 2 new video tutorials up and running.

The Four Advantages Of Options

2006-06-06T08:23:00.000-07:00

Exchange-traded options first started trading back in 1973. That's long enough ago to beg the question, "Why are options so buzzworthy now?" If you don't believe that they are, consider this: at the time of this article's writing (March 2006), options were a hot topic on TV, in print and among brokerage firm clients. On CNBC, "Mad Money"'s own Jim Cramer delivered one of his little tirades, stating that options are the hottest and fastest growing segment of the market. The popular market publication Barron's talked about a move among baby boomers toward options as a way to gain added income and to aid their sagging retirement portfolios. A major online brokerage firm recently polled its clients, asking what investment topics they wanted to learn about; learning more about options was the No.1 answer! With six topics to choose from, options drew a whopping 62% of the votes from survey respondents.

Although they have a reputation for being risky investments that only expert traders can understand, options can be useful to the individual investor. Here we'll look at the advantages offered by options and the value they can add to your portfolio.

The Advantages of Options
They have been around for more than 30 years, but options are just now starting to get the attention they deserve. Many investors have avoided options, believing them to be sophisticated and, therefore, too difficult to understand. Many more have had bad initial experiences with options because neither they nor their brokers were properly trained in how to use them. The improper use of options, like that of any powerful tool, can lead to major problems.

Finally, words like "risky" or "dangerous" have been incorrectly attached to options by the financial media and certain popular figures in the market. It is important for the individual investor to get both sides of the story before making a decision about the value of options.

These are the main advantages (in no particular order) that options may give an investor: they may provide increased cost efficiency; they may be less risky than equities; they have the potential to deliver higher percentage returns; and they offer a number of strategic alternatives. With advantages like these, you can see how those who have been using options for a while would be at a loss to explain options' lack of popularity in the past. Let's look into these advantages one by one. (If you need a refresher on options, see our Options Basics Tutorial.)

Cost Efficiency
Options have great leveraging power. An investor can obtain an option position that will mimic a stock position almost identically, but at a huge cost savings. For example, in order to purchase 200 shares of an $80 stock, an investor must pay out $16,000. However, if the investor were to purchase two $20 calls (with each contract representing 100 shares), the total outlay would be only $4,000 (2 contracts X 100 shares/contract X $20 market price). The investor would then have an additional $12,000 to use at his or her discretion. Obviously, it is not quite as simple as that. The investor has to pick the right call to purchase (a topic for another discussion) in order to mimic the stock position properly. However, this strategy, known as stock replacement, is not only viable but also practical and cost efficient.

Example
Say you wish to purchase Schlumberger (SLB) because you think it will be going up over the next several months. You want to buy 200 shares while SLB is trading at $131; this would cost you a total of $26,200. Instead of putting up that much money, you could have gone into the options market, picked the proper option that mimics the stock closely and bought the August call option, with a strike price of $100, for $34. In order to acquire a position equivalent in size to the 200 shares mentioned above, you would need to buy two contracts. This would bring your total investment to $6,800 (2 contracts X 100 shares/contract X $34 market price), as opposed to $26,200. The difference could be left in your account to gain interest or applied to another opportunity - which provides better diversification potential, among other things.

Less Risky - Depending on How You Use Them
There are situations in which buying options is riskier than owning equities, but there are also times when options can be used to reduce risk. It really depends on how you use them. Options can be less risky for investors because they require less financial commitment than equities, and they can also be less risky due to their relative imperviousness to the potentially catastrophic effects of gap openings. (To learn more about gaps, see Do stop or limit orders protect you against gaps in a stock's price?)

Options are the most dependable form of hedge, and this also makes them safer than stocks. When an investor purchases stock, a stop-loss order is frequently placed to protect the position. The stop order is designed to "stop" losses below a predetermined price identified by the investor. The problem with these orders lies in the nature of the order itself. A stop order is executed when the stock trades at or below the limit as indicated in the order.

For example, let's say you buy a stock at $50. You do not wish to lose any more than 10% of your investment, so you place a $45 stop order. This order will become a market order to sell once the stock trades at or below $45. This order works during the day, but it may lead to problems at night. Say you go to bed with the stock having closed at $51. The next morning, when you wake up and turn on CNBC, you hear that there is breaking news on your stock. It seems that the company's CEO has been lying about the earnings reports for quite some time now, and there are also rumors of embezzlement. The stock is indicated to open down around $20. When that happens, $20 will be the first trade below your stop order's $45 limit price. So, when the stock opens, you sell at $20, locking in a considerable loss. The stop-loss order was not there for you when you needed it most.

Had you purchased a put option for protection, you would not have had to suffer the catastrophic loss. Unlike stop-loss orders, options do not shut down when the market closes. They give you insurance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This is something that stop orders can't do. This is why options are considered a dependable form of hedging.

Furthermore, as an alternative to purchasing the stock, you could have employed the strategy mentioned above (stock replacement), where you purchase an in-the-money call instead of purchasing the stock. There are options that will mimic up to 85% of a stock's performance, but cost one-quarter the price of the stock. If you had purchased the $45 strike call instead of the stock, your loss would be limited to what you spent on the option. If you paid $6 for the option, you would have lost only that $6, not the $31 you lost if you owned the stock. The effectiveness of stop orders pales in comparison to the natural, full-time stop offered by options.

Higher Potential Returns
You don't need a calculator to figure out that if you spend much less money and make almost the same profit, then you have a higher percentage return. When they pay off, that's what options typically offer to investors.

For example, using the scenario from above, let's compare the percentage returns of the stock (purchased for $50) and the option (purchased at $6). Let us also say that the option has a delta of 80, meaning that the option's price will change 80% of the stock's price change. If the stock were to go up $5, your stock position would provide a 10% return. Your option position would gain 80% of the stock movement (due to its 80 delta), or $4. A $4 gain on a $6 investment amounts to a 67% return - much better than the 10% return on the stock. Of course, we must point out that, when the trade doesn't go your way, options can exact a heavy toll - there is the possibility that you will lose 100% of your investment.

More Strategic Alternatives
The final major advantage of options is that they offer more investment alternatives. Options are a very flexible tool. There are many ways to use options to recreate other positions. We call these positions synthetics.

Synthetic positions present investors with multiple ways to attain the same investment goals, and this can be very, very useful. While synthetic positions are considered an advanced option topic, there are many other examples of how options offer strategic alternatives. For example, many investors use brokers that charge a margin when an investor wants to short a stock. The cost of this margin requirement can be quite prohibitive. Other investors use brokers that simply do not allow for the shorting of stocks, period. The inability to play the downside when needed virtually handcuffs investors and forces them into a black and white world while the market trades in color. But no broker has any rule against investors purchasing puts to play the downside, and this is a definite benefit of options trading.

The use of options also allows the investor to trade the market's "third dimension", if you will: no direction. Options allow the investor to trade not only stock movements, but also the passage of time and movements in volatility. Most stocks don't have large moves most of the time. Only a few stocks actually move significantly, and then they do it rarely. Your ability to take advantage of stagnation could turn out to be the factor that decides whether your financial goals are reached or whether they remain simply a pipe dream. Only options offer the strategic alternatives necessary to profit in every type of market.

Conclusion
Having reviewed the primary advantages of options, it's evident why they seem to be the center of attention in financial circles today. With online brokerages providing direct access to the options markets through the internet and insanely low commission costs, the average retail investor now has the ability to use the most powerful tool in the investment industry just like the pros do. So, take the initiative and dedicate some time to learning how to use options properly. Remember, options can provide these advantages to your portfolio:
Greater Cost Efficiency
Less Risk
Higher Potential Returns
More Strategic Alternatives

It is the dawn of a new era for individual investors. Don't get left behind!

Head and Shoulders Patterns

2006-06-04T21:42:00.000-07:00

A head and shoulders pattern consists of a peak followed by a higher peak and then a lower peak with a break below the neckline. The neckline is drawn through the lowest points of the two intervening troughs and may slope upward or downward. A downward sloping neckline is more reliable as a signal.

The extent of the breakout move can be estimated by measuring from the top of the middle peak down to the neckline. This target is then projected downwards from the point of breakout.

Volume Confirmation
High volume on the first peak,

Moderate volume on the middle peak,

Low volume on the third peak, and

A sharp increase in volume on the break below the neckline.

Trading Signals
Go short at breakout below the neckline.
Place a stop-loss just above the last peak.

After the breakout, price often rallies back to the neckline which then acts as a resistance level. Go short on a reversal signal and place a stop-loss one tick above the resistance level.

Never trust a head and shoulders pattern where the neckline is clearly ascending (the second trough being higher than the first). Also, the more level the neckline, the more reliable the pattern.

Inverted Head and Shoulders
With inverted head and shoulders the neckline is drawn through the highest points of the two intervening peaks. A downward sloping neckline signals continuing weakness and is less reliable as a reversal signal.

The extent of the breakout move can be estimated by measuring from the top of the middle trough up to the neckline. This target is then projected upwards from the point of breakout.

Volume Confirmation
High volume on the first trough,

Moderate volume on the second trough,

High volume on the second peak,

Low volume on the third trough, and

A sharp increase in volume at the breakout.

Trading Signals
Go long at breakout above the neckline.
Place a stop-loss one tick below the last trough.

There is frequently a correction back to the neckline, which then acts as a support level. Go long on a reversal signal and place a stop-loss one tick below the support level.

Never trust an inverted head and shoulders pattern where the neckline is clearly descending (the second peak being lower than the first). The more level the neckline, the more reliable the pattern.

Tax Tips For The Individual Investor

2006-06-03T21:58:00.000-07:00

As the old saying goes, there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. While we have yet to find a way to successfully avoid either, there are a few tricks of the trade that can minimize the impact the taxman has on your pocketbook.

After all, nobody likes taxes, but we all have to deal with them, so we might as well handle them in the best way possible. When the end of the year approaches, many investors' thoughts turn to how they can avoid paying tax. (Notice we said avoid, not evade.) Although a lot depends on your personal situation, there are a few simple tax principles that apply to most investors and can help you save money (We also recommend talking to a tax planner.) In this article, we'll look at the tax benefits of making smart investment decisions, writing off expenses, effectively managing your capital gains and more.

Dividends
Are you an invester who ends up paying too much capital gains tax on the sale of your mutual fund shares because you've overlooked dividends that were automatically reinvested in the fund over the years? Reinvested dividends increase your investment in a fund and thus reduce your taxable gain (or increase your capital loss). For example, say you originally invested $5,000 in a mutual fund and had $1,000 in dividends reinvested in additional shares over the years. If you then sold your stake in the fund for $7,500, your taxable gain would be the result of subtracting from the $7,500 both the original $5,000 investment and the $1,000 reinvested dividends. Thus, your taxable gain would be $1,500. Many people would forget to deduct their reinvested dividends and end up paying tax on $2,500.

While the reduction in taxable income in this example may not seem like a big difference, failing to take advantage of this rule could cost you significantly in the long run. By missing out on tax savings today, you lose the compounded growth potential those extra dollars would have earned well into the future, and if you forget to consider reinvested dividends year after year, your tax-adjusted returns will suffer considerably in the long term. Keep accurate records of your reinvested dividends and review the tax rules applicable to your situation every time tax season comes around. Doing this will serve as a reminder of the details you need to use to your advantage again and will hopefully make you aware of new tax avoidance opportunities at your disposal.

Bonds
When the stock markets perform badly, investors make the flight to quality and look elsewhere for places to put their money. Many find a safe haven in bonds. When you are calculating your taxes, remember to report the interest income on your tax return: you may not have to pay tax on all the interest you received. If you bought the bond in between interest payments (most bonds pay semiannual interest), you usually won't pay tax on interest accrued prior to your purchase. You must still report the entire amount of interest you received, but you'll be able to subtract the accrued amount on a separate line.

Many investors also find short-term government debt a convenient safe harbor for their money when the equity markets are less than robust. Municipal bonds are often issued by local governments or similar entities in order to finance a particular project, such as the construction of a school or a hospital, or to meet specific operating expenses. For the retail investor, municipal bonds, or munis, can offer significant tax advantages. Most munis are issued with tax-exempt status, meaning the returns they generate do not need to be claimed when you file your tax return. Combined with the added safety of the low-risk nature of municipal bonds, they can be very attractive investments when stock market expectations are weak. (For further reading, see Weighing the Tax Benefits of Municipal Securities.)

Write-Offs
Did you buy a home computer last year? If you did, you can possibly write off a portion of the cost if you used the computer to place trades or to help manage your portfolio. The portion of the computer's cost that is deductible depends on how much you use the computer to monitor your investments. For example, if you paid $1,500 for a computer, and you use it to keep tabs on your investments 20% of the time, $300 of the computer's cost is eligible to be written off as an expense.

For investors who invest in small business ventures or are self-employed, there are many operating expenses that can be written off. For example, if you take any business trips during the year that require you to obtain accommodations, the cost of your lodging and meals can be written off as a business expense, within specified limits dependent upon where you travel. If you travel frequently, forgetting to include these types of seemingly personal expenses can cost you sizeable dollars in lost tax savings.

For homeowners who have moved and sold their home during the year, an important consideration when reporting the capital gain on the sale is the actual cost basis of the purchase of the home. If your home has undergone renovations or similar improvements having a useful life of more than one year, you will likely be able to include the cost of such improvements into the adjusted cost base of your home, thus reducing your capital gain incurred on the sale and the resultant taxes.

Tax-Deferred Programs Are Like Free Money
Every time you trade a stock, you are vulnerable to capital gains tax. Making your purchases through a tax-deferred account can save you a pile of money. Tax-deferred accounts come in many shapes and sizes. The most well known are Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and Simplified Employment Pension (SEP) plans. The basic idea is that you are not taxed on the funds until you withdraw, at which point you are taxed at the rate of your income tax bracket. Waiting to cash in until after you retire will save you even more because your income will likely be lower when you are no longer working and earning a steady income.

Also, while the benefits of tax-deferred accounts are substantial on their own, they provide an additional benefit of flexibility, as investors need not be concerned with the usual tax implications when making trade decisions. Provided you keep your funds inside the tax-deferred account, you have the freedom to close out of positions early if they have experienced strong price appreciation, without regard to the higher tax rate applied to short-term capital gains.

Match Your Profits and Losses in the Same Year
In many cases, it is a good idea to match the sale of a profitable investment with the sale of a losing one within the same year. Capital losses can be used against capital gains, and short-term losses can be deducted from short-term gains. Also, if you have a particularly bad year, you can carry $3,000 of your loss over to future years. This may seem like a counterintuitive method, but it works very well in reality. The key is that capital gains (or losses) are only applied to your tax return when they are realized. So-called paper gains and losses do not count - since you have not actually sold your investments, there is no guarantee that your investments will not change in value before you close out your position. However, by actively choosing to close out (perhaps temporarily) of losing investments, you can successfully match your capital gains with offsetting losses, significantly reducing your tax burden. (Learn more about tax-loss harvesting in Selling Losing Securities for a Tax Advantage.)

Add Broker Fees to the Cost of Your Stocks
Buying stocks isn't free. You always pay commissions and may also pay transferring fees if you change brokerages. These expenses should be added to the amount you paid for a stock when determining your cost basis. When you sell the shares, subtract the commission from the sale price of the stocks. Think of these costs as a write-off because they are direct expenses incurred to help you make your money grow.

After all, brokerage fees and transaction costs represent money that comes directly out of your pocket as an expense incurred while undertaking an investment, and although modern discount brokerages often charge relatively low fees that do not usually have a material effect on an investor's returns, there is no reason to avoid claiming every expense possible when filing your taxes. Many small brokerage fees incurred over the course of an entire year can add up to hundreds of dollars, and for active traders who place hundreds or even thousands of trades every year, the impact of brokerage fees can be substantial.

Try To Hold On to Your Stocks for At Least 12 Months
Here is another good argument for the buy-and-hold strategy: short-term capital gains (less than one year) are always taxed at a higher rate than long-term ones. The difference between the tax rates of long-term and short-term capital gains can be 13% or more in some states and countries, and when you consider the long-term effects of compounding on reduced income taxes incurred today, it can prove very beneficial to hold onto your stocks for at least one year.

Most investors plan to take part in the equity markets for decades, perhaps moving from stock to stock as the years pass, but still keeping their money actively working for them in the market for the duration of their capital accumulation phase. If you fit this description, take a moment to consider the tax advantages of using a longer-term buy-and-hold strategy if you are not doing so already - the savings can be worth more than you think.

Conclusion
It seems there are almost as many intricacies embedded into tax laws as there are investors who pay taxes. Part of a successful financial plan is astute tax management: ensuring you are actively taking advantage of tax avoidance opportunities that apply to your situation and also making sure you do not overlook any expenses or other income-reduction techniques that can reduce your taxable earnings.

While many investors are eager to read about the next investment opportunity that holds potential for market-beating returns, few put in the same amount of effort to minimize their taxes. Do yourself a favor when tax season rolls around this year and take the time to ensure you're doing all you can to keep your money in your pocket - the savings you uncover may make for a healthy boost to your annual return.

Market Reversals And How To Spot Them

2006-06-03T08:30:00.000-07:00

Traders have an expression for attempting to pick a market top or bottom - they call it trying to catch a falling knife. As the expression implies, it can be downright dangerous and is not normally recommended. But here is a method that may help lower the risk.

Sushi Roll Anyone?
In his book, "The Logical Trader", author Mark Fisher discusses techniques for identifying potential market tops and bottoms. While they serve the same purpose as the head and shoulders or double top/bottom or triple top/bottom chart patterns discussed in Bulkowski's seminal work "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns", Fisher's techniques give signals sooner, providing an early warning alert to possible changes in the direction of the current trend.

One technique that Fisher calls the "sushi roll" has nothing to do with food, except that it was conceived over lunch where a number of traders were discussing market set-ups. He defines it as a period of 10 bars where the first five (inside bars) are confined within a narrow range of highs and lows and the second five (outside bars) engulf the first with both a higher high and lower low. (The pattern is similar to a bearish or bullish engulfing pattern except that instead of a pattern of two single bars, it is composed of multiple bars.) In his example, Fisher uses 10-minute bars.

When the sushi roll pattern shows up in a downtrend, it warns of a possible trend reversal, showing that it's a good time to look to buy or at the very least, exit a short position. If it occurs during an uptrend, the trader gets ready to sell. While Fisher discusses five-bar patterns, the number or duration of bars is not set in stone. The trick is to identify a pattern consisting of the number of both inside and outside bars that are the best fit with the chosen stock or commodity using a time frame that matches the overall desired time in the trade.

The second trend reversal pattern that Fisher recommends is for the longer-term trader and is called the outside reversal week. Basically, it is a sushi roll except that it uses daily data starting on a Monday and ending on a Friday. It takes a total of 10 days and occurs when a five-day trading inside week is immediately followed by an outside or engulfing week with a higher high and lower low.

Testing Testing….
With this idea in mind, we examined a chart of the Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC) to see if the pattern would have helped identify turning points during the last 14 years (1990-2004). In the doubling of the period of the outside reversal week to two 10-daily bar sequences, signals were less frequent but proved more reliable. Constructing the chart consisted of using two trading weeks back to back so that our pattern started on a Monday and took an average of four weeks to complete (see Figure 1). We called this pattern the rolling inside/outside reversal (RIOR).

In Figure 1, each 10-bar part of the pattern is outlined by a blue rectangle. Note the magenta trend lines showing the dominant trend. The pattern often acts as a good confirmation that the trend has changed and will be followed shortly after by a trend line break. As you can see, the first 10-bar rectangle fits inside the upper and lower boundaries of the second. Also note the horizontal line on the right side of the chart showing the low of the outside rectangle, which is a good place for a stop loss.

To test the system, we must determine how the trader using the rolling inside/outside reversal (RIOR) to enter and exit long positions would have done compared to an investor using a buy-and-hold strategy. Even though the Nasdaq composite topped out at 5132 in Mar 2000, due to the nearly 80% correction that followed, buying on Jan 2, 1990 and holding until the end of our test period on January 30, 2004, would still have earned the buy-and-hold (BaH) investor 1585 points over 3,567 trading days (14.1 years). At a slow and steady rate of an average 0.44 points per day, the investor would have earned an average annual return of 10.66%.

The trader who entered a long position on the open of the day following a RIOR buy signal (day 21 of the pattern) and who sold at the open on the day following a sell signal, would have entered his or her first trade on Jan 29, 1991, and exited the last trade on Jan 30, 2004 (with the termination of our test). This trader would have made a total of 11 trades and been in the market for 1,977 trading days (7.9 years) or 55.4% of the time. The trader, however, would have done substantially better, capturing a total of 3,531.94 points or 225% of the BaH strategy. When time in the market is considered, the RIOR trader's annual return would have been 29.31%, not including the cost of commissions. That's quite a significant difference.

It is interesting to note that, had the buy-and-hold investor used a simple stop loss or trend line break to exit after the market had retraced 10% from its Mar 2000 high of 5132, he or she would have been in the market 10.25 years and enjoyed an annual return of 22.73%, or more than double the 14-year test results. Timing really is everything, and this exercise demonstrates the power behind combining fundamentals with technicals. As we can see, ignoring market direction can be very costly.

Confirmation
Regardless of whether we used 10-minute or weekly bars, the trend reversal trading system worked well in our tests. But, it is important to remember that any indicator used independently can get the trader into trouble. One pillar of technical analysis is the importance of confirmation. A trading technique is far more reliable when there is a back up in the way of a secondary indicator. Given the risk in trying to pick a top or bottom of the market, it is essential that at a minimum, the trader use a trend line break to confirm a signal and always employ a stop loss in case he or she is wrong. In our tests, the relative strength index (RSI) gave good confirmation at many of the reversal points in the way of negative divergence (see Figure 4).

As an aside, it is interesting to note that the RIOR daily gave a sell signal on the Nasdaq, which would have gotten the trader out of the market at the open on February 10, 2004, had the test not been terminated on January 30th.

Wrapping It Up
Timing trades to enter at market bottoms and exit at tops will always involve risk, no matter which way you slice it. But techniques like the sushi roll, outside reversal week and rolling inside/outside reversal, when used in conjunction with a confirmation indicator, can be very useful trading strategies to help the trader maximize and protect his or her hard-won earnings.

Junk Bonds: Everything You Need to Know

2006-06-03T08:27:00.000-07:00

For many investors, the term "junk bond" evokes thoughts of investment scams and high-flying financiers of the 1980s such as Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken, who were known as "junk bond kings". But don't let the term fool you - if you own a bond fund, these worthless-sounding investments may have already found their way into your portfolio. Here's what you need to know about junk bonds.

What Is a Junk Bond?
From a technical point of view, a junk bond is exactly the same as a regular bond. Junk bonds are an IOU from a corporation or organization that states the amount it will pay you back (principal), the date it will pay you back (maturity date) and the interest (coupon) it will pay you on the borrowed money.

Junk bonds differ because of the credit quality of their issuers. All bonds are characterized according to this credit quality and therefore fall into one of two categories of bonds:

Investment Grade - These are bonds are issued by low- to medium-risk lenders. A bond rating on investment grade debt usually ranges from AAA to BBB. Investment grade bonds might not offer huge returns, but the risk of the borrower defaulting on interest payments is much smaller.

Junk Bonds - These are the bonds that pay high yields to bondholders because the borrowers don't have any other option. Their credit ratings are less than pristine, making it difficult for them to acquire capital at an inexpensive cost. Junk bonds are typically rated at BB/Ba or less.
Think of a bond rating as the report card for a company's credit rating. Blue-chip firms that are a safer investment have a high rating while risky companies have a low rating. The chart below illustrates the different bond rating scales from the two major rating agencies, Moody's and Standard and Poor's:

Also, there comes a point in time when the rewards of junk bonds don't justify the risks. Any individual investor can determine this by looking at the yield spread between junk bonds and U.S. Treasuries. As we already mentioned the yield on junk is historically between 4 and 6% above Treasuries. If you notice the yield spread shrinking below 4%, then it probably isn't the best time to invest in junk bonds. Another thing to look for is the default rate on junk bonds. An easy way to track this is by checking out the Moody's website.

The final warning is that junk bonds are not much different than equities in that they follow boom and bust cycles. In the early 1990s, many bond funds earned upwards of 30% annual returns, but a flood of defaults can cause these funds to produce stunning negative returns.

Although junk bonds pay high yields, they also carry higher than average risk of the company defaulting on the bond. Historically, average yields on junk bonds have been between four and six percentage points above those on comparable U.S. Treasuries.

Junk bonds can be broken down into two other categories:

Fallen Angels - This is a bond that was once investment grade but has since been reduced to junk bond status because of the issuing company's poor credit quality.

Rising Stars - The opposite of a fallen angel, this is a bond whose rating has been increased because of the issuing company's improving credit quality. A rising star may still be a junk bond but on its way to being investment quality.
Who Should Buy Junk Bonds?
There are a few things you should know before you run out and tell your broker to buy all the junk bonds he can get a hold of. The obvious caveat is that junk bonds are high risk. With this type of bond, you risk the chance that you will never get back your money. Secondly, investing in junk bonds requires a high degree of analytical skills, particularly knowledge of specialized credit. Short and sweet, investing directly in junk is mainly for rich and motivated individuals. This market is overwhelmingly dominated by institutional investors.

This isn't to say that junk-bond investing is strictly for the wealthy. For many individual investors, using a high-yield bond fund makes a lot of sense. Not only do these funds allow you to take advantage of professionals who spend their entire day researching junk, but these funds also lower your risk by diversifying your investments across different types of assets. One important note: know how long you can commit your cash before you decide to buy a junk fund. Many junk bond funds do not allow investors can cash out and see a payoff before a minimum of one to two years.

Lesson - Candlestick charts

2006-06-02T08:50:00.000-07:00

Candlestick charts have been around for hundreds of years. They are often referred to as "Japanese candles" because the Japanese would use them to analyze the price of rice contracts.

Similar to a bar chart, candlestick charts also display the open, close, daily high and daily low. The difference is the use of color to show if the stock went up or down over the day.

The chart below is an example of a candlestick chart for AT&T (T). Green bars indicate the stock price rose, red indicates a decline:

Investors seem to have a "love/hate" relationship with candlestick charts. People either love them and use them frequently, or they are completely turned off by them. There are several patterns to look for with candlestick charts - here are a few of the popular ones and what they mean:

This is a bullish pattern - the stock opened at (or near) its low and closed near its high.

The opposite of the pattern above, this is a bearish pattern. It indicates that the stock opened at (or near) its high and dropped substantially to close near its low.

Known as "the hammer", this is a bullish pattern only if it occurs after the stock price has dropped for several days. A hammer is identified by a small body along with a large range. The theory is that this pattern can indicate that a reversal in the downtrend is in the works.

Known as a "star", this pattern is used in other patterns such as the "doji star". For the most part, stars typically indicate a reversal and or indecision. There is a possibility that after seeing a star there will be a reversal or change in the current trend.

So this is the basics of candle stick charting. Of course there are many other patterns, but this should get you started. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Lesson - Elliot Wave Theory

2006-05-31T13:54:00.000-07:00

Elliott was able to spot unique characteristics of wave patterns and make detailed market predictions based on the patterns he identified. Fractals are mathematical structures, which on an ever-smaller scale infinitely repeat themselves. The patterns that Elliott discovered are built in the same way. An impulsive wave, which goes with the main trend, always shows five waves in its pattern. On a smaller scale, within each of the impulsive waves of the before-mentioned impulse, five waves can again be found. In this smaller pattern, the same pattern repeats itself ad infinitum. These ever-smaller patterns are labeled as different wave degrees in the Elliott Wave Principle. Only much later were fractals recognized by scientists.

In the financial markets we know that "every action creates an equal and opposite reaction" as a price movement up or down must be followed by a contrary movement. Price action is divided into trends and corrections or sideways movements. Trends show the main direction of prices while corrections move against the trend. Elliot labeled these "impulsive waves" and "corrective waves".

The interpretation of the Elliot Wave Theory is as follows:
Every action is followed by a reaction.
There are five waves in the direction of the main trend followed by three corrective waves (a "5-3" move).
A 5-3 move completes a cycle.
This 5-3 move then becomes two subdivisions of the next higher 5-3 wave.
The underlying 5-3 pattern remains constant, though the time span of each may vary.
Let's have a look at the following chart made up of eight waves (five up and three down) which are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, a, b and c.

You can see that the three waves in the direction of the trend are impulses, so these waves also have five waves. The waves against the trend are corrections and are composed of three waves.

The corrective wave formation normally has three, in some cases five or more, distinct price movements, two in the direction of the main correction (A and C) and one against it (B). Waves 2 and 4 in the above picture are corrections. These waves have the following structure:

Note that the waves A and C go in the direction of the shorter-term trend, and therefore are impulsive and composed of five waves, which is shown in the picture above.

An impulse-wave formation followed by a corrective wave, form an Elliott wave degree, consisting of trends and countertrends. Although the patterns pictured above are bullish, the same applies for bear markets, where the main trend is down.

The Elliott Wave Theory has assigned a series of categories to the waves in order of the largest to the smallest. They are:
Grand Supercycle
Supercycle
Cycle
Primary
Intermediate
Minor
Minute
Minuette
Sub-Minuette
To use the theory in everyday trading, the trader determines the main wave, or supercycle, goes long and then sells or shorts the position as the pattern runs out of steam and a reversal is eminent.

Video Lesson - Bollinger bands

2006-05-31T13:52:00.000-07:00

Courtesy of Chart TV

I hope you have all enjoyed the previous video tutorials and lessons. I will be updating and making new videos and lesson each week, so stay tuned.

In this video I will step into a very popular technical indicator called Bollinger bands. The video just gives an idea of what it would look like, and how they change when prices move up or down.

Bollinger bands are a technical tool used by many in which lines are plotted two standard deviations above and below a moving average, and at the moving average itself. Because standard deviation measures volatility, these bands will be wider during increased volatility and narrower during decreased volatility. Some technical analysts consider a market which approaches the upper band to be overbought, and a market which approaches the lower band to be oversold. The closer the prices move to the upper band, the more overbought the market, and the closer the prices move to the lower band, the more oversold the market.

When using Bollinger Bands, designate the upper and lower bands as price targets. If the price deflects off the lower band and crosses above the 20-day average (which is the middle line), the upper band comes to represent the upper price target. In a strong uptrend, prices usually fluctuate between the upper band and the 20-day moving average. When that happens, a crossing below the 20-day moving average warns of a trend reversal to the downside.

Setup: The default settings for Bollinger bands are 2.0 standard deviations around a 20 day exponential moving average.

If you have any questions related to Bollinger bands, please feel free to ask.

Video Tutorial - Moving average

Have a look at this well done moving average video tutorial.

Moving averages (MAs) are very simple, yet extremely useful tools for investors. A moving average is simply the average of a series of numbers over a period of time which is constantly updated by dropping the oldest value and then adding the newest value and recalculating the average. So a 5-day moving average of stock prices would add up the closing prices for the last 5 days and then divide that total by 5. After the next trading day, we would drop the oldest day and calculate the average with the latest days' price in its place. So over time the average moves as new data is added and old data is dropped. There are other, more complex, types of MAs (exponential, triangular, variable, and weighted are some of the more popular ones ) but for this discussion we'll focus on the type I just described, which are called 'simple (a.k.a. arithmetic) moving averages'.

Trading Options - The basics

2006-05-29T08:17:00.000-07:00

Leader in futures/options trading

Option is a legal agreement between buyer and seller to buy or sell security at an agreed price in a certain period of time. It is quite similar to insurance that you pay an amount of money in order that your property is protected by the insurance company. The difference between these two is option can be traded whereas, insurance policy cannot be traded. There are two types of option contracts; call options and put options. We buy call option when we expect the security price will go up and buy put option when we expect the security price will go down. We also can sell call option if we expect the security price will go down and vice versa if we sell put option. Usually, option is counted by contract, one contract equivalent to 100 unit options. 1 unit option protects 1 unit share. So, one contract protects 100 unit shares.

Before learning how to trade option, terminologies that you need to know are as follow:

a) Strike price: Strike price is the price that is agreed by both buyer and seller of the option to deal with. That means if the strike price of the call option is 35, seller of this option obligates to sell security at this price to the buyer of this option even though the market price of the security is higher than 35 if the buyer exercises the option. Buyer of this option can buy a security with a price that is lower than the market price. If the current market price is $39, the buyer will earn $4. If the security price is lower than the strike price, buyer will hold the option and leave the option to expire worthless. For put option strike price, buyer of the option has the right to sell the security at the strike price to the seller of the option. That means if the put option strike price is 30, seller of this option obligates to buy the security at this price from the buyer if he or she exercises the option even though the market price is lower than this price.

If the market is $25, the option buyer will earn $5. It looks like a lot of transactions have been involved; but actually, seller of the option will not buy a security and sell it to the buyer. The broker firm will do all the transaction but the extra money that has used to buy the security has to be paid by the seller. This means, if the seller loss $4, the buyer will earn $4.

b) Out of the money, in the money and near/at the money option: Option price comprises of time value and intrinsic price.

Time Value + Intrinsic Value = Option Price

Time value is the amount of money that the option worth due to the time the option has until its expiration date. Longer the time the option has until its expiration date, higher the time value of this option. Time value of an option will become zero if the option has expired. Intrinsic value for in the money call option is the difference between current market security price and option strike price. Conversely, in the money put option’s intrinsic value is the difference between option strike price and current market security price. If the current security price is lower than the call option strike price, this option is an out of the money option. It only has time value. Call option with strike price that is lower than the current market security price is an in the money option. This option has time value and also intrinsic value. Near or at the money option is the option, which strike price is close to the current market security price.

c) Delta value: Delta value shows the amount of the option price will change when the security price changes by $1.00. It is a positive value for call option and negative value for put option. It ranges from 0.1 to 1.0. Delta value for in the money option is more than 0.5 and out of the money option is less than 0.5. Delta value for deep in the money option usually is more than 0.9. If the option delta value is 0.6, meaning that when the security price goes up $1, option price will go up $0.60. If the security price goes up $0.10, the option price will goes up $0.06. Usually, $0.06 will round up to $0.10.

d) Theta value: Theta value is a negative value, which shows the decay of the option time value. Option, which has longer time to expiry, has lower absolute theta value than option, which has shorter time to expiry. High absolute theta value means the option time value decays more than the low absolute theta value option. A theta value of -0.0188 means that the option will lose $0.0188 in its premium after passage of seven days. Options with a low absolute theta value are more preferable for purchase than those with high absolute theta value.

e) Gamma value: Gamma value shows the change of the delta value of an option when the security price increases or decreases. For an example, gamma value of 0.03 indicates that the delta value of this option will increase 0.03 when the security price goes up $1. Option, which has longer time to expiry, has lower value of gamma than option, which has shorter time to expiry. The gamma value also changes significantly when the security price moves near the option strike price.

f) Implied volatility: Implied volatility is a theoretical value, which is used to represent the volatility of a security price. It is calculated by substituting actual option price, security price, option strike price and the option expiration date into the Black-Scholes equation. Options with a high volatility stocks are cost more than those with low volatility. This is because high volatility stock option has a greater chance to become in the money option before its expiration date. Most purchasers prefer high volatility stock options than the low volatility stock options.

Actually, there are twenty-one option trading strategies, which most of the option investors and traders use in their daily trading. However, I’m only introducing four strategies as follow:

a) Call or put spread
b) Straddle
c) Covered call
d) Butterfly spread

Call and put spread is established by buying in the money or near the money option and selling out of the money option. When the security price goes up, in the money call option that you buy will generate profit and the out of the money option that you sell will loss money. However, due to the difference of the delta value, when the security price goes up, in the money call option price goes up with a higher rate compared to the out of the money call option. When you deduce the profit from the loss, you still earn money. The purpose of selling the out of the money option is to protect the depreciation of time value of in the money call option, if the security price goes down. However, if the security price continuously goes down, this will cause an unlimited loss. Therefore, stop loss has to be set at certain level. This strategy also has a maximum profit that is when security price has crossed over in the money option strike price.

Straddle can earn money no matter the security price goes up or down. This strategy is established by buying near the money call and put option at the same strike price. The disadvantage of this strategy is the high breakeven level. The sum of the call and put option ask price is the breakeven level of this strategy. You only generate profit when the security price has gone up or down more than the breakeven level. If the security price fluctuates within the upside and downside breakeven level, you still loss money. The money that you loss is due to the depreciation of the option time value. This strategy is usually applied for the security, which has high volatility or before the release of the earning report. The maximum loss of this strategy is the total amount of call and put option price. This strategy can generate unlimited profit at either side of the market direction.

Covered call is established by buying a security at the current market ask price and selling out of the money call option. Selling out of the money option has limited the profit that generated from this strategy. If security price continuously goes down, it will cause an unlimited loss. Therefore, stop loss must be set. When the option has comes to its expiry, if the security price is not moving up significantly, you still earn the total option premium that you have received. If the security price goes up, sure you will earn a limited profit. If the stock price continuously goes down, it will cause an unlimited loss. Therefore, stop loss must be set. Usually, stop loss is set at the security ask price after subtracting by the option bid price. If this security price goes down and passes over the price that you set as stop loss, the loss that is incurred to you is about half of the total option premium that you have received. This is because the delta value of the out of the money call option that you have sold is about 0.4 - 0.5. The out of the money call option strike price must be the closest strike price to the entering security price.

Butterfly spread strategy is quite similar to the condor strategy. It has also four combinations that are long at the money call and put butterfly spread and short at the money call and put butterfly spread. Long at the money call and put butterfly spread are for stationary market and short at the money call and put butterfly spread are for volatile market. Steps that involve in long at the money call butterfly spread are buying in the money and out of the money call option and following selling at the money call option. At the money option means the strike price of this option is quite close to the current market security price. Number of contract of the at the money call option must double the number of contract of in and out of the money option. Profit can be generated as long as the security price does not move out from the upside and downside breakeven range. The upside breakeven level is calculated by adding the total pay out of this position to the highest strike price. The downside breakeven level is calculated by subtracting the lowest strike price with the total pay out of this position. The short at the money call butterfly spread is established by selling in and out of the money call option and following by buying at the money call option. Number of contract of at the money option must be double the number of contract of in and out of the money option. As long as the security price has move out the upside and downside breakeven range, profit can be generated. This strategy generates limited profit and also cause limited loss if the security price does not go to the right direction.

With these four strategies, you can use to earn money from upside and downside market and also the market that trades sideway.

10 Golden Rules For Stock Trading

2006-05-28T14:07:00.000-07:00

Your stock trading rules are your money. When you follow your rules you make money. However if you break your own stock trading rules the most likely outcome is that you will lose money.

Once you have a reliable set of stock trading rules it is important to keep them in mind. Here is one discipline that can reap rewards. Read these rules before your day starts and also read the rules when your day ends.

Rule 1: I must follow my rules.

Naturally if you develop a set of rules they are to be followed. It is human nature to want to vary or break rules and it takes discipline to continue to act in accordance with the established rules.

Rule 2: I will never risk more than 3% of my total portfolio on any one stock trade.

There are many old traders. There are many bold traders. But there are never any old bold traders. Protecting your capital base is fundamental to successful stock market trading over time.

Rule 3: I will cut my losses at 5% to 15% when I am wrong without question.

Some traders have an even lower tolerance for loss. The key point here is to have set points (stop loss) within the limits of your tolerance for loss. Stay informed about the performance of you stock and stick to your stop loss point.

Rule 4: Never set price targets.

This is a style that will allow me to get the most out of rising stocks. Simply let the profits run. Realistically, I can never pick tops. Never feel a stock has risen too high too quickly. Be willing to give back a good percentage of profits in the hope of much bigger profits.

The big money is made from trading the really BIG moves that I can occasionally catch.

Rule 5: Master one style.

Keep learning and getting better at this one method of trading. Never jump from one trading style to another. Master one style rather than become average at implementing several styles.

Rule 6: Let price and volume be my guides.

Never listen to any opinion about the stock market or individual stocks you are considering trading or are already trading. Everything is reflected in the price and volume.

Rule 7: Take all valid signals that show up.

Don't make excuses. If an entry signal shows up you have no excuse not to take it.

Rule 8: Never trade from intra-day data. There is always stock price variation within the course of any trading day. Relying on this data for momentum trading can lead to some wrong decisions.

Rule 9: Take time out.

Successful stock trading isn't solely about trading. It's also about emotional strength and physical fitness. Reduce the stress every day by taking time off the computer and working on other areas. A stressful trader will not make it in the long term.

Rule 10: Be an above average trader.

In order to succeed in the stock market you don't need to do anything exceptional. You simply need to not do what the average trader does. The average trader is inconsistent and undisciplined. Ask yourself every day, "Did I follow my method today?" If your answer is no then you are in trouble and it's time to recommit yourself to your stock trading rules.

Direct Access Trading Systems

2006-05-28T13:59:00.000-07:00

The leader in direct access trading
Online brokers are the most accessible, and often least expensive, trading system available today; after all, they are available to virtually anyone with a credit card and an internet connection. The problem with average, run-of-the-mill online brokers, however, is that they suffer from atrociously slow order execution. In fact, novice traders who are serious about their profession will soon recognize that speed can be a key factor in turning a profit. The system in which orders are placed and trades are executed is an essential tool for traders. This article will provide an overview of direct access trading systems (DATs).

By the nature of the business, the individual trader must compete against all of his or her fellow traders, whether they are individuals or professional traders employed by North America's largest financial institutions. Obviously, professional traders will always have access to the latest and best tools and training, including the fastest buy and sell orders. Therefore, individual traders need the absolute best system that they can afford in order to compete - anything less can put them at an immediate and perpetual disadvantage in respect to buy and sell orders.

The difference between the professional trader's order system and an online broker is that the trader's system eliminates the middleman (the human broker). Direct access trading systems allow traders to trade stock (or virtually any other financial instrument) directly with a market maker or a specialist on the floor of the exchange, or immediate order execution. The absence of a middleman can save a trader several seconds to several minutes of time. (For more on this, see Understanding Order Execution and Brokers And Online Trading Tutorial.)

Despite the inherent advantage of DATs as compared to lower level systems, not all order execution systems are created equal. Even amongst all of the existing direct access trading systems, there is considerable variety in speed and accuracy of execution, as well as in the commission price charged for each trade. As a result, traders must be careful to choose the system that most closely approximates their needs in terms of speed, performance and price.

Let's take a detailed look at how certain features of particular DATs might meet a trader's individual style and needs. Note that this discussion refers specifically to stocks - other financial instruments are traded using similar methods, but they may require slight modification in order to fall under the following general guidelines.

Level II Quotes
With a Level II screen, the trader will be able, for each individual stock that he or she is watching, to see a complete list of bid and ask prices at a single glance, as well as the sizes of these orders. The trader will decide at which price the order will be placed and needs to click only once on that price in order to commence the trade. The only other decision the trader will then have to make is the number of shares for the order. The order size is entered in a window that pops up on the DAT immediately after the chosen price is clicked on. Some direct access systems allow a default value to be pasted automatically into this space, thereby enabling the trader to order, say, 1,000 shares without actually inputting the extra four keystrokes. Many traders will have a "typical" order size, and the default value can be a significant convenience and time saver.

Electronic Communication Networks (ECNs)
Direct access trading systems also give traders the ability to trade on the electronic communication networks (ECNs). The simplest way to describe an ECN is to think of a completely electronic stock exchange: buyers and sellers are matched by computer without the need for a human middleman. Orders are executed directly from the trader's DAT and transmitted electronically to the ECN almost instantaneously - within a fraction of a second. (To learn more, check out Electronic Trading Tutorial.)

Market Makers
Even if the order is not routed through an ECN, the direct access system also gives the trader direct access to market maker orders. Many of the orders floating around on quote screens everywhere are placed by market makers, either from their own firm's trading accounts or on behalf of their clients, who are often large financial institutions. Surprisingly, online brokers may also be clients of market makers; certain market makers may give online brokers a rebate for routing the market makers' trades (a practice called "payment for order flow"). This is another major advantage of using a DAT over an online broker. With an online broker, the trader has no influence over where the order is sent. By using a DAT, the trader can choose the market maker who will give the best price. (For further reading, see What's the difference between a Nasdaq market maker and a NYSE specialist?)

Fees and Commissions
Some traders may be surprised to learn that their DAT will cost them more than using an online broker. The higher cost of DATs comes from the probability that any online broker is receiving payment for order flow from the market maker, which allows online brokers to keep their commissions at rock-bottom rates. Commissions for direct access trades, by contrast, are based on a scale which depends on the number of trades that a trader executes over a given period of time. Commissions typically range from $15 to $25 per trade, plus an additional fee levied by the ECN should the trader place his or her order with an ECN. Total fees for each trade might then fall between $15 and $35. Finally, most DATs would levy a certain charge for the use of their software, which tend to fall between $250 and $300 per month. This charge is often waived if a trader makes a minimum number of trades, perhaps in the range of 50 to 300 trades per month. Obviously, the trader's choice among particular DATs should be made based on an overall consideration of cost, which must take personal levels of activity into consideration in this decision.

First Steps In Real Estate Investing

2006-05-28T13:49:00.000-07:00

With all the stories of people making tremendous amounts of money in real estate it's no wonder why so many are looking at real estate as an investment vehicle. It offers more security than the stock market, provides great potential returns, offers tax benefits and let's not forget; it sounds cool to be 'in real estate'. Everybody can buy and sell stocks from their phone or computer these days. But real estate, now that's something else.

One of the challenges that many are faced with is putting up the money to acquire a piece of property. Although in reality this is usually not the biggest obstacle. You might say "Hey, what do you mean, not an obstacle. I would love to invest in real estate, but I just can't afford to!" The point is that hardly anyone who buys a piece of real estate has enough money in their account to pay for it. That's where your banker comes in. Let's face it. Do you know anyone that owns their own home? I mean truly own it? Probably not. Sure, you know a lot of people that have a house to their name, but wait until they get behind on their monthly mortgage payments and you will soon find out who really owns their house. That's right, the bank. So if these people can use the bank's money to buy a house, why can't you?

Now 'owning' your own home may sound like a somewhat obvious way to get started in real estate, but it is also a very good way to do so. You might say "Duh..." But apparently this little step is overlooked by a lot of people. Just take a look at how many people are still renting a property instead of buying one. Now of course the relation between rent and housing prices varies from country to country and even from area to area. But wherever you go you will still find people renting, because in their mind "they don't have enough money to buy a house." In reality it would be much cheaper for them to buy!

When you rent, you are pretty much flushing your money down the toilet. Of course you are getting the pleasure of living, but the point is you're not building anything long term. Every dollar you spend on rent is a dollar you will never see again. Whereas if you own your own home, instead of paying rent you would be paying for your mortgage. Even though there is a lot of variety in mortgages these days, the basics of practically all mortgages are more or less the same. Every month you make a payment which consists of two parts: interest and principle. The interest part can be compared to rent. Those dollars are gone with the wind and you will never hear from them again. However, the part of the payment that goes to the principle is money you keep. Every dollar that is used to pay off the principal is a dollar you put in your own pocket.

So if you're thinking about getting started in real estate and you don't 'own' your own house yet... Change it, and get some experience. It's a great first step towards building your capital and in many cases, it just makes more sense financially. It can also supply a range of opportunities for accelerating the process of building your net worth. When real estate prices go up, so does the value of your property. Whereas the money you owe the bank, your mortgage, remains the same. In other words this helps you build your net worth. Compare this to people that are paying rent... Their net worth does nothing. However their landlord's net worth is doing very nicely in this scenario and he or she will probably love you for it. So if you get a warm fuzzy feeling about making somebody else rich at your own expense... Keep renting. If you would rather build your own capital instead... Buy your own house!

Many home owners have accumulated more money through appreciation of their property than by working a full time job for many years. Now before you go out and buy the first property you lay eyes on, don't forget that some security measures are in order here. As you may or may not know, real estate prices do not always go up, and certainly not in a straight line. Yep, this can be shocker to some people, as well as an ugly reminder for those who overlooked this minor detail in the past. If for some reason you would have to sell your home in a down market, it can be a costly adventure. You wouldn't be the first to end up with a house worth considerably less than the mortgage resting on it. So make sure to keep some slack. In the long run real estate prices have always been on the rise, but in any cycle there are down periods. By keeping some slack and being patient you will be able to sit through these times and profit from the long term up-trend.

5 Tips For Successful Trading

2006-05-27T11:49:00.000-07:00

There are lots of people who aspire to become profitable traders in today’s market environment. Many people who come to trade stocks, options, and other securities are attracted to the potential of making a lot of money but, often, aren’t aware of what it takes to be able to make money consistently, position yourself to make windfall profits, and all the while doing this while protecting your account from excessive and/or unnecessary losses.

The good news is that there is a wealth of resources to help you but the bad news is that often a beginning trader doesn’t know where to start. It is the focus of this article to give you direction on what areas to focus your efforts into in order to improve and trade successfully.

The first step is to focus on is learning the language of the industry. Learn what a stop limit order is or what a "handle" means and how they relate to your trading. If you run into a term that you don’t understand, just "google" it, then study the meaning. It is extremely hard for you to know what an article is saying or a veteran trader is talking about if you don’t know the basic terms of stock orders, option definitions, or how the futures market works if you ever hope to trade them.

The second step is to learn is how to read price action. Price action is basically the language of a stock or a given market. It tells you what the stock or market has done and is likely to do again. Know how to read trends on a chart. Is the stock in a long term bullish trend? Are oil prices in an intermediate bear market? Is there evidence of a possible trend change in oil futures from an intermediate bear market to a long term bull market? Learn how to read price action and it will make you rich.

The third step to successful trading is learning how to control your risk. Almost every successful trader that has survived long term and made money long term knows how to control his risk to the markets. I personally know a professional hedge fund manager that was short the German mark when the Berlin Wall came down but survived to make record returns on his funds that year. The same trader was long the Dow futures when the 9-11 terrorist attacks happened and went on to beat the returns on the S&P 500 that year. I was personally long a lot of oil and refinery stocks when Hurricane Rita hit Texas but I still made money as those stocks plummeted because I know how to manage my trades. Learn how to assess and control risk and you will increase your odds in becoming a master trader.

The fourth step is having an "edge" when you trade. An edge in trading is anything that gives you an advantage in trading. The more edges you can have, the better chances you have to make outstanding profits. An edge can be superior chart reading skills, successful stock selection, money management, etc. I know of a very famous and successful stock trader that use the 3 edges I just wrote to take an $11,000 stock account and made $48,000,000 in 23 months! He has been interviewed in almost all major financial publications and has set a world record in the greatest returns in the briefest time category. Study the great traders and you will get a glimpse of the edges they use to become trading legends.

The fifth step is having mental discipline and emotional balance. Most of trading is mental. You can give two traders the same exact trading system for stocks, futures, or options but, invariably, they will end up with different results. Why? There mental and emotional states may not support them in being successful with system they were given. One trader may experience nervousness and anxiety which causes him to exit his trades to early, hesitate in taking entry signals, or taking profits too early and missing the big moves. The other trader may have the discipline and control to take each trade as it comes with no other focus other than to follow the system as it should knowing that the losses he may experience are just part of the game and that he will make his greatest profits over time using this system. In my opinion, learn how to use your mental discipline and emotional control to support you in becoming a successful trader and not work against you.

These five steps that have been outlined will go a long way in helping you become more skillful and profitable. In time, you may want to come back and begin with the "basics" of this lesson to keep your focus and help you stay on the path of being the best trader that you can be.

Good trading.

Day trading basics

2006-05-27T11:33:00.000-07:00

A means to survive, an avenue to progress and vista to exchange thoughts, ideas and feelings' 'Trading' is perhaps as old as human existence on earth. It all began when the primeval man began swapping small useful items with each other in order to live and fulfill many of his needs. The time that followed saw a persistence and enhancement of this tradition. The current world runs on trading. It is a means to fetch bread and butter to many while for a large number of people trading business serves as toppings on a well-made cake. Trading therefore preserves an unparalleled significance across the globe.

This article will educate you about the various types and means of day trading, key terms and issues associated with it along with their benefits and shortcomings.

Types of Day Trading- depending on the time period for which the day trader retains the stocks with him or under his custody, different types of trading are classified.

' Basic Day Trading- Day trader commences the day by collecting stocks keeps them for sometime and endeavors his best to sell all of them at the end of the day. His primary work constitutes the sale and purchase of stocks. These transactions enable him to bag good short-term profits and mitigate the risk of sale of stocks in a fluster due to fluctuating price.

' Swing Day Trading- the day trader preserves the stocks for relatively longer period of time such as for few hours and few days to accrue big profits. But swing trading runs the risk of unstable market prices of the stocks.

' Position Trading- as the name suggests, the trader purchases the stocks and arrange the sales keeping in mind the position or the market value of the stocks. This may entail keeping the stocks for few weeks and even months, but good returns usually follow.

' Online trading- can be of any of the three aforementioned types but the sale and purchase of stocks is done via the Internet. Since this trading is through the medium of computer, an efficient computer with a 24-hour Internet connection is an essential requirement.

Issues behind S & P- When it comes to day trading, it is found that some particular stocks are good or beneficial than others. Primarily there are three factors that govern the sale and purchase of stocks-

1. Liquidity of the stock- Liquidity designates the amount of buyers and sellers for the stocks concerned. Liquidity of the stock is deemed to be directly proportional to profits ensued by it. Greater the liquidity of the stocks, higher is the comfort in vending them. But the liquidity value is never stagnant. It too depends on certain factors such number of share holders, outstanding shares, volume of transactions made and the number of market makers.

2. Volume- contributes to the liquidity factor. It can be conveniently evaluated. For instance a day trader's stock should trade a minimum of 500000 shares each day.

3. Volatility- stands for the ups and downs the stock experiences everyday. If the volatility is less or negligible then the stock does not undergo any fluctuations and is thus rendered bad for day trading. It is believed that stocks that are considered good go through at least a $2.00 variation per day of normal trading.

4. Price Transparency- is the term coined for the market depth and the potential of the trader to acquire knowledge about the order of the stock.

General Tips for successful day trading-

' Study the market carefully before proceeding with purchase of stocks. The market indicators displayed on television and announced on radio are the best means to know about the market trend for the day.

' Do not be motivated by profits always. Every transaction may not translate into profits. Adopt a strategy and stick to it. Don't flip your technique of working frequently.

' Be resolute and patient. If you are unable to incur spontaneous gains, profits may occur eventually.

Oil and gas investing

2006-05-27T11:15:00.000-07:00

Oil and gas investing can come with a high risk if you are looking for high returns.

Oil and gas investing can give you huge returns - but it can also be a risk, depending on how you choose to invest. Make sure you know the risks associated with all the different types of oil and gas investments, and choose the one that is right for you.

One of the ways that you can invest in oil and gas is to invest in the exploration. This is probably one of the highest risk investments, however, if you have the money and are willing to accept the risk, it could have a high reward. Also, you will be helping to fund discoveries of new reserves of oil and gas that can be tapped when needed. The risk here, of course, is that it is not always possible to find new reserves. There might not be any oil or gas in the area, or there might not be enough to make it worth the costs of drilling the area.

Another choice if you are looking for something that has a lower risk, is to invest in oil or gas companies. These companies will likely be well established, will have enough oil to make sure that they turn a profit, and are likely to help you earn at least a little bit of money on your investments. You can also decide between investing in large corporations, or in small independent projects. Keep in mind, however, that the larger the risk, then the larger your possible gains could be, and vice versa.

If you want to be involved in oil and gas investing but you do not want to accept much risk, then your best bet is probably to invest in one of the large oil companies by buying stock.

If you are going to invest in oil and gas in any way besides through buying company stock or joining a mutual fund, then you will need to make sure that you know what you're doing. Investing in oil exploration requires a large amount of capital, and you should know what to expect from the area and the type of exploration that is being done. Also, remember, this is going to be a very high-risk, speculative investment, and you may lose most or all of your investment.

Bond investing

2006-05-27T11:12:00.000-07:00

One of the safest ways to invest is in bonds. If you are thinking about investing in bonds, chances are you are making a very good decision. You should be able to make a little bit of money on your investments - and you are not very likely to lose any money in the deal. However, while the stock market is confusing, the bond market is too. Therefore, before you start investing in the bond market, you should do some research and make sure you can find out what you need to know about bonds.

There are several different bond markets. One of the most well known and easiest bond markets to get into is that of municipal securities. These bond markets are essentially based around the buying and selling of bonds in states or cities. Usually the money from these bonds are initially used to build new schools or other public systems. Therefore, not only will you be investing in bonds but you'll also be able to help your area build schools and other structures that it needs.

Bond investing does not have to be done on the local level. Another type of bonds you can buy are from the federal government. These bonds are usually pretty easy to buy and usually can be used for many years afterward. The treasury securities market, for instance, has bonds that will not mature for more than ten years.

Bond investing works the same way as most other types of investments. You put your money in, get your bond, and then you cannot get your money back until the bond matures. Therefore, bond investing is strictly a long-term investment market. However, there are several different time lengths that you can buy bonds for. Some of the shortest bonds will mature after one year. These are the shortest bond lengths, and usually will not allow you to earn very much money on the bond.

Other types of bonds are longer. If you invest in an extremely long term bond (ten or more years) then you'll stand a chance of making a fairly decent amount of money. Most bonds also have a fixed value that they are worth. Instead of deciding exactly how much money you would like to give to a school, bank, or other organization for bonds, you need to buy a certain number of bonds that have fixed prices at first.

Finally, if you are thinking about bond investing, realize that you can sell your bonds before the maturity date - but you will not get as much money as you would have, and might even end up losing money in a deal like that.
