What is Sales Financing?

September 30th, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

Running a business is a difficult process and one which is constantly fraught with unexpected financial difficulties. Balancing acts are constantly required to ensure there is enough money in the business coffers to cover wages, rent, tax and other regular bills, as well as stock and equipment purchasing.

For all businesses, one of the key factors of success involves ensuring the quick release of funds in order to enable further purchasing or investment decisions. If funds are tied up rather than available for use, then the entire business process can screech to a halt.

One of the most common problems in business usually occurs when large sales are successfully made and the work is invoiced to the client, but payment is not immediately forthcoming. This means that there is a lot of cash tied up in sales ledgers which are not available for use on other projects such as restocking. This is an all too common situation which can prove disastrous to many companies - especially smaller businesses and start-ups who are usually the least able to effectively deal with these types of situations due to generally low levels of liquid assets in the first place.

This has lead to the creation of a number of business and sales financing products by larger institutions and specialist business finance organizations to fill the gap in corporate finance. These days, many banks can provide business banking services such as factoring, invoice discounting, and stock finance to enable their clients to free up many of the assets that they normally have access to for working capital.

Sourcing a financial institution to deal with the recovery of funds tied up with stock or invoices and to help deal with sales ledgers can enhance a business on several fronts. Not only does the company not have to worry about chasing up debtors, but the money is quickly made available for reinvestment; and the risks of suffering from bad debt are significantly lowered, as it can become the province of the factoring company to pursue reticent debtors. Factoring companies will often also make available additional debt recovery litigation services if they should become required.

While some businesses may see the costs of using sales finance services as cutting into profit margins, the benefits of having funds made accessible for use towards working capital - rather than sitting with inaccessible funds which do not for the company - can prove to be invaluable in enabling company growth and stability.

When is a Cash Out Re-Finance Possible?
A cash out option is available when there is existing equity in the home. This is important because the lender is able to justify the practice of offering increased funds to the homeowner due to the value of the property. This is because the lender feels as though the security of having the home for collateral does not put them at a high risk for t...

Tax Considerations When Re-Financing
For many homeowners the overall goals of re-financing are often paying less in interest overall and reducing monthly payments.

However, a lower interest rate does not automatically translate...

Commodity Trading Blunders IV, PART 1 - My Early Days As A Novice Trader

September 30th, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

Be wary of the man behind the curtain. He may represent the biggest company with the most powerful software, but still, you need to verify. And remember, if whatever worthwhile you are trying to accomplish was easy, everyone would be doing it and already rich. Commodity trading takes lots of practice and skill. There are no shortcuts.

I keep coming back to Max, my first broker. Let me tell you another story that taught me two lessons. About the time I made the big British Pound futures contract trade, I started to notice that my commodity account statements did not agree with what I thought the balance should be. It was off something like $3,500. I sent my paperwork showing profits and losses to Max. He said the trades seemed correct, but still, my account balance was $3500 lower than it should have been.

Max finally told me to come in and sit down with a Merrill auditor. I showed up and met a thin, balding man of about 45, with glasses and a very conservative look. I just knew he was thinking I was the typical commodity futures gambler who would be blown out in no time. He had not studied my trading records to this point.

I showed him the futures trades and he looked them over one by one. What I remember about the session is his shocked look when he realized that I was actually making money in the account! He looked at the cotton ”limit up” trade and said, “ you made $5,000 on this trade?” I tried to act like it was nothing - like it was an everyday thing and said, “yep.” I could see his eyes widen as he looked at some of the “lucky” big ones. After about 45 minutes he said he could not find an error in my paperwork and said he would credit the futures account for the full $3,500 the next day.

I learned two valuable lessons that day. The first is not to trust any commodity account statement. As good as our computerized world is today, there are still mistakes being made. It can mean having wrong trades put into your account or not receiving them at all. Errors can be more numerous when day trading since many trades come and go quickly.

The second and most important thing I learned is that most new and inexperienced commodity futures traders lose and blow out their accounts. It’s just a matter of time before the commissions, bad analysis, ego generated mistakes, order mistakes, over-trading and everything else reduces the account to nothing. I realized this when the auditor was stunned that I was actually making money with Max. Later I found this to be the case in the real world. The statistics in stock trading are no different. Futures trading is not unique in this regard.

Hey, I’m not the greatest commodity trader either. I still struggle with the trading triangle every day. But you and I don’t have to be the best trader in the world to make money - only better than most. Perfection is not required.

Most commodity futures traders are reckless with their trading. Many just guess or look for tips. They come, play for a few months, get blown out and never come back. Then a new group comes in and the cycle repeats. Only a small percentage hang around long enough to learn how to break even. Even that is a big accomplishment. Later with persistence, learning and good fortune, they pull it off by making some money each year.

It’s all about the bell curve. At one end of the curve there will be some that are gone in a few days. In the middle, the majority will make a little, break even or lose a little. Then there are the superstars at the opposite end who consistently make multi-millions each year.

Probability allows for everything. Every scenario will play out eventually. If you stay focused and are willing to drop things that do not work and keep trying new ideas, you may be able to find the right combination that fits you to a ‘T.’ That’s the whole commodity futures and options game. You need to figure out your strengths and weakness. Then match up a commodity trading program where you feel comfortable and confident enough to take consistent action.

Part Two of Four - Next!

There is substantial risk of loss trading futures and options and may not be suitable for all types of investors. Only risk capital should be used.

Choosing the Right Investments

September 30th, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

With all of the investment opportunities out there today, it might seem difficult to decide which one is the right one for you. When it really comes down to it, though, having such a large variety of options is more of a benefit than a hindrance… it allows you to customize your investment portfolio to your individual tastes much more than you would be able to with only a few choices.

Unfortunately, it can sometimes be quite hard to figure out if an investment is right for you until it’s too late… the stock might go through a drastic increase or decline in price, or you might only have a limited time to invest in a certain company’s stock before a merger or split. To help you take advantage of the investment opportunities that present themselves to you, here are a few useful tips that might help you to decide whether or not an investment is the right one for you.

Price

Obviously, the price that a stock or bond is currently selling for can make a big difference on whether or not the investment opportunity is right for you. If you’re trying to invest on a limited income or you simply don’t have the money to spare for large investments, you might want to reconsider certain high-priced stocks unless you’re fairly certain that they’ll show you a good return. Even then, you might want to consider buying partial shares over time instead of several shares now.

History

The history of a particular stock or bond can tell you a lot. If the price for the particular stock has always been quite low and suddenly rises over time, there’s a good chance that it will drop again before too long and if you invest when it’s high you might lose money on the deal. On the other hand, if a certain stock has been climbing steadily or has taken a slight dip from its usual prices (without any company news causing the drop) then you might have a good chance at making money in the long run.

Time

Some investment opportunities have a time limit attached to them… perhaps a company is selling shares for a brief period of time in order to find investors for a new branch, or a company is preparing to merge with another or split from another. You should use caution before deciding to invest in one of these opportunities, and investigate the stock prices for the companies involved. If they’ve performed well in the past, there’s a good change that you’ll be able to come out on top in the deal. If, however, the company has had problems (especially recently), you might be better off to let this one pass you by.

Recommendations

Where you hear about the investment opportunity can have a large bearing on how good the opportunity actually is. Advice from market professionals can usually be trusted to be good, but you should never act on a stock tip that you receive as part of a junk e-mail or an unsolicited advertisement. You should also take extreme care if you happen to work for the company that you’ve heard the tip about… depending upon what you buy and when, you might have problems with insider trading meaning that you had access to information that the general public didn’t.

Other Circumstances

Of course, there are other circumstances that might arise that aren’t mentioned here. If this happens, then seek the advice of someone that you trust or simply follow your own instincts.

Buy Shares & Stocks - Trading in India

September 28th, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

Stocks trading in India focuses on stocks of various companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Real-time stock market quotes help investors to buy shares or offload their holdings by providing the last traded price of a company’s shares, as well as the ratio between percentage change and earnings. This is called the P/E ratio, and is the fuel that fires stocks trading in India.

The Bombay Stock Exchange at Dalal Street, Mumbai, is Asia’s oldest stock exchange. It is also a figurehead and symbol of pride for Stocks trading in India, since is lists over 4800 companies and is therefore the world’s biggest stock exchange in terms of listed companies. It is certainly South Asia’s largest stock exchange by any yardstick, and ranks tenth on the global size scale. The National Stock Exchange of India, also located at Mumbai, is the country’s largest stock exchange in terms of number of equity-based and derivative-based trades and overall daily turnover.

There are other venues of stocks trading in India, but the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange are by far the most significant. Together, they represent the are responsible for the highest number of share transactions in the country. And that is a truly momentous number, because more and more investors are now eager to buy shares and get involved in Stocks trading in India.

Apart from those who buy shares through brokers, the newer breed of Indian stock market investors use demat accounts. Demat accounts do not involve the pieces of paper called share certificates, but rather ‘dematerialized’ shares in electronic form. These ‘virtual’ shares exist only in a database and not in a physical repository. This facility helps people to buy shares and also sell them from the convenience of their own homes and offices. Understandably, the coming of demat accounts has boosted stocks trading in India to a hitherto unheard-of degree.

This online avatar of the Indian Stock Market boom has naturally brought many online stock brokerages into the fray. Agencies like RK Global, Sharekhan, Reliance Money, 5 Paisa and Religare are all making it possible for everyday Indians to buy stocks and sell them again without actually having to visit the stock exchanges. The process they offer is simple and transparent, and the result is that anyone with a little surplus money can now benefit from the Indian economic boom via strategic stock market investments.

How to Make Big Money Safely in Stock Market

September 28th, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

(1) Stock Market is Tough Place to Make Any Money
Consistently

NASDAQ or SP&500 averaged about -6% per year for 5 years
between 1999 and 2003. Many individual investors who made
killing in the internet bubble period got wiped out during
those 5 years. Many who trusted Wall Street experts by
investing their life savings into mutual fund had rude
awakening after the huge loss and scandals in many of the
famous fund names.

Numerous academic studies have shown that more than 90% of
mutual funds failed to beat market over the long run and
that more than 90% of individual investors lost money in the
stock market. Too many people and too many Wall Street
experts or mutual fund managers are buying and selling
stocks like madmen, with no sound strategy or any hope of
long term success. Ironically, they’re the ones who create
opportunities for prudent, long term oriented investors.

To be successful in stock market, you either have to become
an expert yourself or to seek help from real successful
experts. Stock market is such a brutal place that there is
no room for half-expert or expert pretenders. The truth is
that only a small percentage of disciplined and experienced
people earn disproportionate huge amount of return, many
times at the expense of the rest. It is an insult to “Wall
Street expert” professional title when so many of such
“expert pretenders” failed to beat index or merely stay
break-even.

(2) Majority of huge performance claims in Ads by “Experts”
are not real

Too many investment newsletters or hot mutual funds touted
their huge past performance and went into disaster later on.
Who do you believe? I have been in this stock market long
enough to know that majority of their claims are not “real”.
I will tell you why below.

The first reason is simply due to “cheating”. Let’s be
honest about many Ads. Many of them do not tell the whole
and true story of their performance. For example, they would
tout huge percentage of gains for certain winning stocks and
hide the losing stocks. If you look deeper into their whole
portfolio performance, their portfolio performance was not
impressive at all. Many investment newsletters will have
multiple portfolios in publication. In their ads, they will
only mention the performance of the winning portfolio and
hide the losing portfolio. The problem with multiple
portfolios is that when you subscribe to their newsletters,
you would not easily know which portfolio out of many will
have best performance in the long run. Which portfolio do
you follow? Most important of all, which portfolio out of
many does the newsletter author invests for his/her own
money? If the newsletter author or the mutual fund manager
does not invest into a portfolio himself or herself, how
would you trust their services?

Even if past performance of a newsletter or a mutual fund
was pretty good, it may not indicate good performance in the
future. Many hot technology mutual funds jumped up 100% or
more in the 90’s and dived to their death after 90% to 99%
of loss. Certain investment methods such as growth stocks
investing are known to be risky. Momentum investing or day
trading methods are known to be extremely risky methods that
can wipe out life savings over night. There is simply no
free lunch. While a risky method can produce fabulous gain
in relative short term, over the long run, a risky method is
more likely to make people poorer rather than richer even if
a short term gain was gigantic. Gigantic short term gain is
just a dangerous stock market trap to lure the inexperienced
people into the market. Dreaming for instant satisfaction of
huge short term gain overnight with speculation is just a
recipe for disaster ahead.

(3) Value Investing is the Only Proven Safe Method

Value mutual funds are well known to have lower volatility
than growth mutual funds. Numerous industry and acedemic
studies have shown that value stocks as a group performed
far better than growth stocks in bear market. Many
technology and internet so called “growth stocks” lost 90%
to 99% of value in just a couple of years after 2000 while
many value stocks went up during the same time frame.

In fact, the single most important element to obtain high
investment performance over the long run is to maintain
MARGIN OF SAFETY of a portfolio. That is why the greatest
investor Warren Buffet once quote “Rule No.1: Never lose
money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.”.

(4) Value Investing is the Proven Method to Make Big Money
in the Stock Market

I know that I’m going to catch a lot of flak for saying
this, and that many people will misunderstand what I’m
saying. There are certainly other methods of investing or
trading, which made people rich. There are certainly many
under- performing value mutual funds, which give people
wrong impression that value investing is equivalent of low
performance with less risk.

However, I want to emphasize that in fact value investing is
investment style that can obtain high performance with less
risk. I want to stand by my above statement for the
following reasons:

* In the early years of my investment career, I have studied
and tried all kinds of well known methods of famous
investors or traders, Short term trading, Momentum trading,
Technical Analysis, CANSLIM, growth stock long term buy and
hold, Random Walk theory, etc. I have been there and I have
done there. Evidenced by my past investment performance,
value investing is the only method that delivered gigantic
investment return consistently for me over past many years.
In 2003, I have made more than $150,000 in stock market with
value investing method. In 2004, I have made even more money
than 2003 so far. With the power of compounding, there is
really no upper limit for the investment profit with value
investing.

* In 1984, Warren Buffet gave a speech titled The
Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville, which categorized
performance of many famous value investors who beat market
year in and year out. Many of people mentioned in this
article are legendary multi-billionaire right now. It is
true that only a small percentage of investors can beat
market consistently. However, it is not by chance at all
that so many of students of Benjamin Graham became super
riches in America while other methods have not produced that
many rich people. It is also not coincident at all that the
second richest person in the world is a value investor named
Warren Buffet, a student of Benjamin Graham as well.

(5) Value investing will not distract your regular job

The nicest thing about value investing is that it will not
distract your regular job if you choose not to stare at the
stock market frequently in your office. In fact, it is quite
healthy to forget about stock market in your office and
worry about that only at your home after work.

Many newbies in the stock market still believe that if they
stare at stock price quote closely, they can obtain better
chances of winning. It will not. Staring at the stock quote
is least important part of this game. In fact, staring
closely at the stock price quote is more likely to create a
loser rather than a winner because of greed and fear in the
stock market. The more one is unable to resist the mad mood
of Mr. Market, the more likely one is unable to invest
successfully with value investment method.

I am not saying that successful value investing does not
require time. The time you will need in value investing
depends on the investment vehicle you utilize. If you invest
with a value mutual fund, you will not need much time in
stock market and you only need to follow up quarterly with
your fund’s performance. If you are a passive investor of my
investment newsletter Blast Investor Real-time Plus and you
follow my model portfolio passively, you will only need to
pay attention to my infrequent trade alert closely and read
my newsletter issues every 2 weeks. If you invest by
yourself, you will certainly need hours of time every week
to look at hundreds of value stock leads and do your own due
diligence by reading 10Q or 10K SEC filling, or by listening
to conference calls, or by talking to company’s management.

(6) Successful Value Investing is Hard, But You can Do It!

I certainly do not want to make you to believe that value
investing is as easy as reading couple of books. Value
investing not only requires tons of knowledge and expertise
in financial analysis, accounting, US tax law, US bankruptcy
law, etc., it also requires real life training of right
psychology to fight against greed and fear in the stock
market. It is hard to do.

However, successful investing certainly can be done and I
have done it over past decade myself. You certainly want to
look at my investing articles of this web site for more
information.

(7) You need to start early in value investing

Let’s be honest about value investing, it is not a get-rich-
quick scam and it takes time to really make living with
value investing without need of your regular job. You need
large starting principle if you want to make living from
stock market investment than your salary.

By reading Warren Buffet’s article above, you can pretty
much guess that successful value investors can achieve 20%
to 30% per year performance consistently over the long run
regardless of whether market is bear or bull although it is
possible to obtain significantly higher performance in
earlier investment years due to smaller fund size and luck.
20% or 30% more consistent investment return is already very
high return over the long run. Since Peter Lynch retired
from Fidelity, you can rarely find a mutual fund with that
kind of performance over past many years.

The best approach is to treat stock market investment as
side business in addition to your regular job. Your regular
job help you pay your bills and help you earn the initial
principle for value investing. Once your investment net
worth surpasses $100,000, sooner or later you will realize
that your regular job salary can hardly keep up with
compounded rate of investment return. Too many people
naively believe that they can get rich quick with
speculative trading method in stock market rather than a
hard work with a job and value investing at side. It is a
lot easier to make your first $50,000 net worth with a job
rather than speculation in stock market.

Even if you do not have large sum of money right now as
principle to make really big profit out of value investing,
you still want to start value investing early so that you
can learn in and out of value investing in your earlier
years of investing in the stock market. Successful
investment is long term process. The earlier you start
investing successfully, the better off your pocketbook will
be, and the quicker you will reach your financial freedom.
Let’s do a quick math, if your starting capital for
investing is $50,000 and your annual compouned rate of
return is 30%, you will need 9 years to surpass $500,000 net
worth. However, to turn $500,000 net worth into 1 million,
you only need 3 more years, think hard!

The Time I Bet it All on One Stock
Stocks are a great way to make some great money. They're also a great way to lose a lot of money. You have to be careful.

Get Out of The U.S. Stock Market RIGHT NOW!

September 28th, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

I have studied the stock market for twenty-one years. I began investing in mutual funds in 1987. Slowly, while learning about investing, I progressed from mutual funds to stocks. Then in 2004 I completed an MBA from USC with the goal of becoming a mutual fund manager or portfolio manager. For the last four calendar years, 2004 through 2007, my personal portfolio has averaged a rate of return more than double that of the overall stock market. But I achieved this with a great amount of work, risk, stress, and frustration. And frankly, I believe the good times are over.

I believe that we are headed into the most difficult time in the history of the stock market. The credit liquidity crisis that that is unfolding right now is causing chaos, and when all the financial engineering finally unwinds, the effect is going to be more profound than we expect. This scares me greatly. Here is a quote from an article about CDOs:

(Satyajit Das)…is not sure if it will play out like the 13-year decline of 90% in Japan from 1990 to 2003 that followed the bursting of a credit bubble there, or like the 15-year flat spot in the U.S. market from 1960 to 1975. But either way, he foresees hard times as an optimistic era of too much liquidity, too much leverage and too much financial engineering slowly and inevitably deflates.

Unless you are proficient in shorting stocks, or in using option strangles, or other risk mitigation techniques, and this is not the average investor, I believe it would be prudent to get out and stay out of the stock market entirely. My expertise is in the U.S. stock market, but since the economies, and stock markets, of the world are so interrelated, this advice could, and perhaps should, be extended to other stock markets as well.

I recently received an email from my broker urging me to contribute to my IRA. They included a little graphic showing the benefit of investing. If you invest $4,000 per year in your IRA, at 8% ROR, for 35 years, you will have about $744,000. But when you retire, and shift this into a safe Government security earning around 4%, you will only get about $1,984 per month after taxes. Does that sound like a great retirement to you? Try traveling the world on $1,984 per month. Moreover I don’t think the stock market will achieve an 8% ROR going forward.

So what is the answer? What caused me, after twenty-one years, to run (not walk) away from the U.S. Stock Market? I discovered land banking. I will keep this short, as this article is really about the stock market, but I believe the best investment, bar none, is in pre-developed land in the path of growth of a major metropolitan city.

Choosing the Right Stockbroker

September 28th, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

More than 15 million Americans use the services of full-service stockbrokers. Some of the well known brokerage houses give their brokers glitzy names like financial consultants or investment executives. Just remember that stockbrokers are also salespeople. They earn a living from the commissions of the products they sell to you.

Most investors are lured to full-service stockbrokers and their brokerage houses because of the great range of services offered: they can buy and sell virtually any kind of security; they have large research departments to analyze investments; and they offer a number of management services and accounts. And, of course, customers are looking for investment advice.

All this service and convenience can be costly. Rarely will a broker volunteer how much commission he or she will get from investments you make. Sometimes, it is fairly easy to figure out: you buy 100 shares from Company ABC at $100 a share and pay $10,250. That’s a markup of 2.5 percent which is the sales commission (some of the commission goes to the broker; the rest to the firm that the broker represents). However, often the commission fee is built into the price of the investment (e.g. for many kinds of bonds) and it’s not so simple to figure out just what the sales fee amounts to. Besides paying a fee for “buy” or “sell” transactions, there can be processing fees, administrative fees, or maintenance fees on your accounts. These nickel-and-dime charges can add up if you are an active trader.

Obviously, a broker makes more money if you buy high-commission products, which are often riskier and more complicated. In addition, a broker may strongly recommend products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds) that are already owned and/or managed by the broker’s firm-but the broker neglects to tell you this. Sometimes these products may be top-notch; however, they may be big-time losers that the broker’s firm is eager to dump.

Before searching for a full-service broker, ask yourself if you really need one. If you already know exactly what investments you want, you could save money by dealing with a “discount” brokerage firm where charges are 20-55 percent less than at a full-service outfit, or with a “deep discount” firm where the charge is about 70 percent less. However, the discount firms are primarily in business to execute your orders, not to offer you investment advice or a full range of services.

If you want and need a full-service broker, shop around and ask a lot of questions. Be sure the broker you choose fully understands your financial position, goals, and tolerance for risk. Take notes, in person and on the phone or internet, when you talk to your broker and keep all paperwork (including transaction slips) in a file. Above all, educate yourself about various investments before you entrust your money to someone else.

Unfortunately, there are stockbrokers who put their own financial interests ahead of yours. Listed below are some of the more common abuses committed by brokers.

Churning - Without consideration for your investment goals, a broker engages in heavy trading of your account (lots of buys and sells) in order to generate sales commissions.

Unauthorized Trading - Buying or selling securities not authorized by the customer.

Unauthorized Accounts - A broker may open an account (like a “margin” account) that you never asked for.

Unsuitable Investments - Brokers can be held accountable for putting you into investments that do not fit your stated goals and level of risk tolerance. For example, a retired person concerned with the safety of a small nest egg should not be in high-risk securities. Even if that customer approves a high-risk purchase, the broker can be held liable.

Misrepresentation - Brokers cannot down play the risk of an investment, conceal pertinent information, or give false information.

Excessive Commissions - The size of commissions and markup is regulated by the stock exchanges and the National Association of Securities Dealers.

To find out if your broker has had a history of disciplinary action, you can all the National Association of Securities Dealers or call the North American Securities Admission Association. This organization will give you a phone number to access the Central Registration Depository, which is run by the state divisions of securities regulation and the National Association of Securities Dealers. The CRD can tell you about a broker’s employment history and any actions taken against the broker.

Stock Broker Education

September 27th, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

Are you thinking of getting your feet wet as a stockbroker? First, you have to make sure you know what youre getting yourself into. If you simply want to get into the industry because you think that would be the fastest way to earn money, you will not get very far. In fact, you will probably end up frustrated.

To be a successful stockbroker, for obvious reasons, you have to have an interest in the stock market. You have to keep a close watch in the market and know how to analyze the behavior that causes the rise and fall of each stock. Starting out, you have to invest a lot of time into building your own career. You will be on the phone often and in front of the computer monitor looking at graphs stating the rise and fall of the market prices. You need to know how to give advice for the best interest of your clients.

The good news is you do not have to have a particular educational background to become a stockbroker. In fact, you do not even have to be a college graduate. What you do have to do is obtain is a license. To get the license, you have to pass the General Securities Registered Representative Examination. You may only take this test after you join a brokerage firm for at least four months. The first four months are a probationary period to see if you qualify for this test. After taking the test, many states also require you to take the Uniform Securities Agents State Law Examination designed to ensure you have the basic knowledge of the different aspects that make up the stock market. After getting your license, it is expected that you have continuous training to update yourself on the market.

Top Trading Systems

September 23rd, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

There are many different trading types can help you to make money in the market. If you are just starting out it can be confusing. You may be asking yourself, how do I make money and what is the best trading system for me? Here I have composed a list of different trading systems that have been proven to make money in the stock market. Study them and find out which is the best for you.

1. Trend traders, these are traders that simply buy up trending stocks and sell down trending stocks. An up trending stock is a stock that keeps making higher highs and higher lowers. What a trend trader would do is get into this stock at their low and hold onto it until it stops making higher highs and higher lows. That is it. They do not necessarily have to look at the company’s fundamentals. If it is going up it probably has good fundamentals anyway.

2. Swing traders, these traders play off of support and resistance. Support and resistance are imaginary tops and bottoms of stocks. For example if a stock is bouncing between $42 and $50, $42 would be its support and $50 would be its resistance. What a swing trader would do is wait until this stock goes down to $42 then buy it. They might place a stop at around $40 so if it breaks lower they will only lose $2. Then the swing trader waits until it either hits his stop or resistance at $50. Let us look at what could happen here. If you are right you make $50-$42=$8 if you are wrong you lose $42-$40=$2.

That means you have a 4/1 risk reward ratio. If you win only30% of the time with a 4/1 risk reward ratio you still make money. Risk reward is very important in swing trading most traders will not take less than a 2/1 risk reward ratio. Also because in a swing trading you will be wrong more than you are right you will need to only risk a small amount of your money in any 1 trade.

3. Break out traders; these are the opposite of swing traders. They want to buy stocks that break above resistance and sell stocks that break bellow support. Let us say the stock in the example above broke out to $53. It is now above its resistance of $50 now old resistance becomes support and it will probably go higher.

A break out trader would buy it here and follow the stock up. They would a stop bellow $50 and move it higher and higher as the stock goes up. Your trade ends when you get stopped out. How much higher to place your stop when a stock moves up depends on the trader. Some traders use a trailing stop that can put a stop a certain percentage below the stock’s price. Others, like myself, prefer to manually set the stop were they think is best. It depends on the trader.

How To Safeguard Your Interests In Online Stock Trading?

September 23rd, 2008 by admin in Buying Stock

Although some brokers may allow you to invest as little as three dollars to execute a trade, this kind of investment is suitable only for an academic interest. These small trades allow the investors to get a feel of the online stock trading. They allow them to understand the level of freedom and flexibility that online stock trading offers.

Online stock trading, like any other business, requires a sizeable investment to become a viable source of income, more so, if you want to make it a full time source of your livelihood.

Like every other business, stock trading has its own pitfalls which may land unwary investors into trouble. Ignorance cannot be made an excuse for losses and failures.

An informed and careful planning can minimize the losses and maximize the gains. Some of the salient points that you must understand before opening an account with any brokerage firm are:

1. There are hordes of online brokerage firms that offer attractive terms to lure the customers. Some brokerage firms offer lowest trade commissions, but over- charge you on other counts such as inactive account maintenance fees. Still others may insist upon very high minimum deposits.

If a brokerage firm offers lower charges on almost every account activity, try to search out the reasons for this type of all round munificence. Either there may be some trap, or, the offer may have really genuine reason.

Some brokerage firms have lower overhead charges which they distribute to their customers. For example, most brokerage firms receive their market data on rent from the data vendors like Reuters or Bloomberg. They, naturally, transfer the costs to their clients in form of higher commission charges and so on.

There may be other brokerage firms which have some agreement with the market data vendors and save by not having to pay rent for market data. This leads to huge savings to them and they transfer these savings to their customers by charging less fees and commissions.

These inside secrets cannot be found out by cursory search. You have to devote some time and energy to thoroughly search the website of each brokerage firm before opening your account and parting with your vital financial data.

2. You may have to abide by the terms and conditions laid down by your broker as well as NYSE and AMEX market data display services. For this you are required to check the appropriate boxes at the end of each agreement. You must read these terms and conditions carefully before checking the boxes. They are not mere formalities. Ignoring to understand them may lead you into problem at a later stage.

3. If you find it difficult to do the entire search by yourself, you can hire some investment advisor. You can save a lot of expenditure over the long time by making one time payment to your investment advisor.

4. ISP services that run the online trade sometimes break down. These technological glitches cause lots of trouble at crucial moments, more especially, when you are trying to place an order. The delay in execution may cause you losses in form of increase in the price of the stock if you have placed a buy order, or, in form of decrease in price if you have placed a sell order. You suffer both ways due to delay in execution of your order. You must talk to your brokerage firm to make sure that they accept the telephone instructions to buy and sell the stock in the event of any collapse occurring in the functioning of the ISP services.

5. If you want to trade on multiple stock exchanges, says, like NYSE and NASDAQ, you must ensure that your online broker has the technical capabilities to meet your needs.

6. Trading in online stocks is always fraught with risks. Be prudent in your investments. Do a thorough research and invest in the stocks of the well-managed companies. Unless you are a day trader, hold the shares for some time and do not sell them in panic if, sometimes, the price of your stock falls suddenly. Price fluctuation is a normal feature of stock trading. In all probability the price of your stock will rise over the time.

7. Develop the habit of investing regularly irrespective of the occasional slumps in the stock market. The other alternative is to reinvest your dividends in reinvestment plans.
