High Yield Investment Programs (HYIPs) appear at first to be the secret of unlimited wealth and happiness, but as you can guess that is changing rapidly. However, I found myself still using it in a very limited extent as a generator for my digital exchange. I will discuss in a later article. First, you should understand the concept of e-currency. It is a digital currency that is traded and used to make purchases online. Indeed, it has no national boundaries, is treated in many different currencies and is very liquidible. Although all these factors make it a very versatile tool for the investor, it also makes it anonymous and therefore very attractive to scammers and thieves. Be warned it is almost impossible to know who you are dealing with or what they actually do with your money. There are many types of e-currencies, but I prefer e-gold for many other efforts than help.
Hopefully my experience with HYIPs help you to make decisions about your use or non-use of making wise decisions. I was very hesitant when I first came on HYIPs but the rewards were so tempting that I had to learn more. I surfed through site after site before opening my e-gold account. Then, I was ready to jump in and like everyone jumping in headfirst I ended up with a headache. Most of my initial investment of one hundred twenty dollars went to two sites I supposed to professional and well maintained. As the old saying goes Appearances are deceptive, after investing fifty dollars on every location I was waiting with extreme anticipation for my first pay a week later. I could not wait for my hundred percent plus profit. The week came and went and needless to say, I'm still waiting for this day. In fact, I have never received a penny, nor even had an e-mail return either site.
I licked my wounds and decided not to give up. After about two weeks of research, I came upon a forum that let investors rate the HYIPs. It was called the Ministry of Gold (MOG). I monitored it for a few more weeks, and then I was ready to try. Another hand This time I invested another hundred dollars. However, unlike the last time, I invested five to ten dollars in twenty different HYIPs. To my surprise, all paid me. In fact, my initial investment doubled in the first week. Yes, I was excited, too. But continue to read this before you run out and invest in HYIPs. In the next two months, I continued to invest 10-40 dollars in twenty-five different sites. Also loved invest additional money in a site, Trad Invest. It had been over a year and paid an eighty percent gain for four weeks. Two months later, my original two hundred dollars has grown to more than six hundred dollars. Soon, many of the HYIPs I was investing ten to thirty dollars began to disappear. This did not phase me because of my sustain profits Trad Invest. Low and behold one day come tradei9nvest not paying. I checked the MOG forum and found that she had stopped paying everyone. To this day, they just disappeared.
I was left with only about fifty dollars less than a quarter of what I originally started with. It was all in a HYIP called Prime Fund. There is a silver lining to this story. Prime fund is still paying me one to three percent of my initial investment is about sixty percent per month.
In short, the many hours I had to spend in research, analysis and follow-up for HYIPs was not worth the rewards. I think there monetize them money, but it will be someone devotes to adapt to all the scams. / Her time on a continuous basis I recommend only if HYIPs games no investments.

Stocks, Oil, and Bonds
A barrel of oil bounced to over $ 60 Thu, which led to a steep sell-off in the stock market Thu and Fri, although oil pulled-back to around $ 59 per barrel, and closed at $ 59.84 a barrel Fri.
There are many reasons why oil prices are high, including a "higher price" for the potentially negative geopolitical events, the start of the hurricane season June 1 (which may affect refineries in the Gulf), the 4th of July holiday (which is the start of the summer driving season), and end-of-quarter window dressing (which oil prices and oil to keep). highest possible However, the most influential factor is stronger than expected growth of the world economy. Both the U.S. monetary and fiscal policy remains stimulating, and the global economy continues to grow at above-trend growth. Moreover, the financial markets are not the global economy slowed by negative "Wealth Effects."
The price of oil has a weaker influence on American producers, because the U.S. economy lighter (eg Microsoft products manufactures weighing little) has become. Nevertheless, the high oil price some negative effect on earnings, particularly producers of heavy products (eg in China, which is moving the Agrarian Revolution in the Industrial Revolution, as the U.S. of the information revolution in the Biotech Revolution) have. Also, U.S. productivity growth slows, which is negative for profit. On the consumption side, higher oil prices is a tax, because consumers substitute other products for more expensive oil. So, whether the prices of other goods fall. Consequently, a higher oil output growth and lower living standards rather than cause slow inflation.
The four charts below are same period daily charts of SPX (S & P 500), OEX (S & P 100), OIH (oil index), and TLT (long bond ETF). SPX (the largest 500 stocks) has outperformed OEX (the largest 100 shares) for several years. Currently OEX is relatively undervalued compared to SPX. The four graphs show the overall stock market (ie SPX and OEX) OIH and TLT generally brief rally. However, they can move in different directions in the coming weeks.
The first graph shows SPX fell to the congestion area (circle), which is a key short-term support area. SPX 1192 is also an important (support and resistance) level, for several months, although SPX closed at 1191 1/2. The price-per-Volume bar (on the left side of the graph) gives additional support at 1,180 to 1,190. Both the 50 day MA, currently at 1181 1/2 and the 200 day MA, currently in 1174, rising. Large resistance is in the low 1,200 s (psychological resistance at 1.200, 10 and 20 days MA, and the top of the congestion area). SPX has a bearish head and shoulders pattern so far this year. There are open gaps in 1174, 1143 and 1138, this summer may close. End-of-quarter window dressing by Don on Fri new district, and the July 4th holiday ma can next week bullish for the stock market.
The second graph shows OEX fell below the key support levels during the two-day sell-off, ie below the 10 20 50 and 200 day MAs under the congestion area (circle), and under the price-per-volume bar in the middle of the 560s. Next major support is in the low 550s, which is the middle of a previous congestion area. Major resistance at 564-567 (where there are multiple resistance points). In the past five years, the OEX to SPX ratio decreased from 57% to 47%, after an increase of 46% to 57% over the past five years. Moreover OEX behind SPX over the past two months. So, OEX is relatively undervalued compared to SPX.
The third graph shows OIH rallied from a little more than $ 84 to over $ 105 per share, while the oil rally from $ 47 to $ 60 per barrel. If oil is a $ 50 to $ 60 range, then OIH consolidate and fall to the mid-$ 90sa share. The fourth graph reflects the declining long bond yields recently (since moving TLT and long-term bond yields in opposite dirctions). The flattening of the yield curve recently predicting slower economic growth. Global economic growth is likely to slow in the next two years, as the world economy can not maintain above trend growth. Consequently, both the stock market and oil prices fall (ie SPX OEX and OIH). However, slower growth or slower disinflationary inflationary growth (ie stagflation) determine TLT.
Economic reports next week are: Mon: No, di: Consumer Confidence, Wed: Final GDP and GDP deflator Chain, Thu: Personal Income, Personal Spending, Unemployment Claims, Chicago PMI and the FOMC announcement, Fri: Construction spending, ISM Index, Auto Sales, and Michigan Consumer Sentiment. There are notable earnings reports only on Wed: ORCL RIMM GIS COMS Mon TON.
There can be excellent option trading opportunities next week. If the price of oil pull-back, OIH may fall, while SPX and OEX can bounce (though, in the longer term SPX OEX and OIH fall). TLT, after the FOMC announcement Don fall, because to maintain. Be balanced stance on growth and inflation Perhaps, it will OIH trade between 100 1/2 and 104 1/2, while in the high-OEX trades high 560s to 550s. TLT relapse may be one or two points, and major support is 93 1/2. A heavy producer eg X (U.S. Steel), which is beaten, may rise to a pullback in oil prices. SPX puts can be a buy in 1200. The Dow Industrials fell from 10,600 to less than 10,300 Thursday and Friday (The Dow bounced sharply from 10,000 two months ago). So, DIA calls to buy. There may also be an excellent opportunity to make profits, as calls are GIS profit.

Investing & Online Stock & Share Trading: Money & Risk Management - Atkinson Portfolio Planner (1)
This article was originally featured in Daryl Guppy's 'Tutorials in Applied Technical Analysis', voted no 1 trading newsletter in Australia by Shares magazine & No 4 in the world by U.S. Stocks & Commodities magazine and is reproduced here with permission Daryl's.
In addition to developing a good technical analysis skills, strong trading psychology along with smart money and risk management are also important key secrets for success when trading or investing in the market.
From real life experiences and lessons learned in portfolio the very hard way, John Atkinson originally designed set of three Money and Risk Management spreadsheets to help. Their own trade Through the help of programmers Stephen Parsons and Peter Tamsett, he recently added some user macros and have them available now as easy to use and designed to help you plan and manage their portfolios. Highly affordable tools for traders and investors
They are designed to assist in planning and developing profitable growth of the portfolio, by introducing structured money & risk management control in place and as a means of simple and accurate records.
Many investors and traders spend less time planning of the risk of individual transactions and their total portfolio for their wealth than they plan their shopping. Not accurately track many of plan or revision of their claims at all.
Some think that the spread of 'diversification' of their portfolio in several major positions in "safe" blue chips is their way of money and risk management to address. They do not realize that overload in too many positions or excessive position their portfolios in serious danger.
Without proper planning one can end up with a portfolio that is a disaster waiting to happen. We know. We have been there and we would not want you to go through the sleepless nights and gut wrenching fear, financial and emotional damage that we and some traders know we have experienced as a result.
A major reason why we lost our Sydney waterfront home in 2000 and more, because it was not develop or adhere to risk and money management rules to correct - so that our series of three instruments portfolio originated from our own personal very hard blow experience in a very real cost of literally hundreds of thousands of dollars and a great emotional price.
We then went looking for the information that we wish we were looking for, or had advised in advance. These tools are based on different 'world's best practice principles and strategies taught by this newsletter, Daryl Guppy's books by other authors such as Alan Hull merchant, Louise Bedford, Dr. Alexander Elder and Dr. Van Tharp.
They consist of:
o Atkinson Portfolio Planner © - your stock selection and sector overall portfolio risk and to plan in advance
o Atkinson Trade Optimizer © - if you buy a few to choose from and stock funds only available for?
o Atkinson Portfolio Manager © - stop loss, goals, individual stocks and combined portfolio equity curves, expectations of closed transactions and more
In the coming weeks we will discuss each of these tools in detail.
We start this week with the Atkinson Portfolio Planner ©.
This tool is designed to help your portfolio to plan, you so you can sleep at night, knowing you have a balanced portfolio and are not exposed in a particular trade, volatility group or sector.
Also, that the correct number and size of the open positions have planned to ensure that your overall risk of the portfolio does not exceed the specified criteria.
This easy to use tool allows you to your planned distribution of control:
Mix of high, medium and low volatility stocks
Mix of shares between sectors
Individual risk of each position as a% of your portfolio
Maximum% of your portfolio in any one position
Overall risk of your portfolio combined
Once you have entered your wishes will Atkinson Portfolio Planner © calculate the above essential factors and even red flag warnings if any of your planned or open positions exceed your personal risk profile.
This allows the user to ensure that in planning your hard earned capital attributable Plan selected according to risk levels by your own Trading correctly.
It is the responsibility of the user to search and select the criteria to be applied for his / her Trading Plan and as an important input for the Portfolio Planner © eg volatility and sector allocation,% stop loss levels and risk factors, and the final selection of the stock (s) to purchase and the appropriate position size (s).
Putting all or most of your available resources in a stock or sector, placing at risk a large% of a portfolio in the same position or having too many open positions with an unacceptable total% of the portfolio at risk recipe for potential disaster .
Experiences of other entrepreneurs shows that it is also wise to diversify in a chosen relationship between a series of high, medium and low volatility to maximize supplies. Annual growth of their portfolio their capital
Experienced traders and investors have different rules for money and risk management.
The following are some typical examples from the literature:
1. In his books and this newsletter Daryl Guppy choose: 1/7 (14.3%) in the high volatility (eg 'speculatives') 2/7 (28.6%) in medium volatility (eg "mid caps") and 4/7 (57.1%) in low volatility (eg blue chips). Others may choose a maximum of 10% in the high volatility. The final choice is the responsibility of the user
2. For small portfolios, in his book equity trading #, Daryl Guppy shows an example of building $ 6k to $ 21k, starting with $ 2k by (ie 1/3rd) in a high volatility and $ 4k (ie 2/3rd) in low volatility, this split back to 1/7, 2/7 and 4/7 when the portfolio has grown to $ 14k.
3. Maximum position size as a% of the total portfolio: generally 20-25% absolute maximum, what to bring to 15% or less for large portfolios or speculative stocks.
4. Maximum Equity Risk: Not more than 2% of the portfolio to be placed in a specific trading risk - some choose to decrease for larger portfolios or more highly volatile positions that 1% or 0.5%.
5. In my book '10 ways not to lose your home in the Stock Market "(due in 2005) I wrote" What we do not realize is that instead of spreading our risks, we were magnifying our risk. Example, Using a stop loss of 2% portfolio risk, say a trader has ten positions. This means that if the market takes a sudden dive and all registers are activated, they risk losing 20% of their total portfolio value. Expand from which to twenty positions, then 20 x 2% = 40% of their portfolio at risk It can happen - it happened .. If you freeze or have margin loans, the destruction be much worse ....
Dr. Elder refers to the 2% risk rule as protection against shark attack and the concept is further to a 6% rule to protect piranha attack to close out the entire portfolio if it drops by 6% in the last month. Ie
Taking this to its logical extension, Dr. Elder describes how, using this strategy, traders also limited in three positions (at 2% risk) to start, until one of them rise in profit before opening additional positions. "
(Readers may wish to refer to my home study course module on Money & Risk Management, which is based on and includes Daryl Guppy's Share Trading & Better Trading books and contains my portfolio tools - Available on our site also refer to books by Louise. Bedford (egTrading Secrets) and Dr. Alexander Elder (eg Come into my Trading Room) for further explanation.)
In the following article I will discuss how we Atkinson Portfolio Planner to ensure that the next scheduled risk and money management criteria are met:
1. The maximum total value spent in each volatility group
2. The maximum total value spent in each sector
3. The maximum position size as a% of the total portfolio

5. The combined total portfolio exposure

We start this week with the Atkinson Portfolio Planner ©.
This tool is designed to help your portfolio to plan, you so you can sleep at night, knowing you have a balanced portfolio and are not exposed in a particular trade, volatility group or sector.
Also, that the correct number and size of the open positions have planned to ensure that your overall risk of the portfolio does not exceed the specified criteria.
This easy to use tool allows you to your planned distribution of control:
Mix of high, medium and low volatility stocks
Mix of shares between sectors

Overall risk of your portfolio combined

This allows the user to ensure that in planning your hard earned capital attributable Plan selected according to risk levels by your own Trading correctly.
It is the responsibility of the user to search and select the criteria to be applied for his / her Trading Plan and as an important input for the Portfolio Planner © eg volatility and sector allocation,% stop loss levels and risk factors, and the final selection of the stock (s) to purchase and the appropriate position size (s).
Putting all or most of your available resources in a stock or sector, placing at risk a large% of a portfolio in the same position or having too many open positions with an unacceptable total% of the portfolio at risk recipe for potential disaster .
Experiences of other entrepreneurs shows that it is also wise to diversify in a chosen relationship between a series of high, medium and low volatility to maximize supplies. Annual growth of their portfolio their capital
Experienced traders and investors have different rules for money and risk management.
The following are some typical examples from the literature:
1. In his books and this newsletter Daryl Guppy choose: 1/7 (14.3%) in the high volatility (eg 'speculatives') 2/7 (28.6%) in medium volatility (eg "mid caps") and 4/7 (57.1%) in low volatility (eg blue chips). Others may choose a maximum of 10% in the high volatility. The final choice is the responsibility of the user
2. For small portfolios, in his book equity trading #, Daryl Guppy shows an example of building $ 6k to $ 21k, starting with $ 2k by (ie 1/3rd) in a high volatility and $ 4k (ie 2/3rd) in low volatility, this split back to 1/7, 2/7 and 4/7 when the portfolio has grown to $ 14k.
3. Maximum position size as a% of the total portfolio: generally 20-25% absolute maximum, what to bring to 15% or less for large portfolios or speculative stocks.
4. Maximum Equity Risk: Not more than 2% of the portfolio to be placed in a specific trading risk - some choose to decrease for larger portfolios or more highly volatile positions that 1% or 0.5%.
5. In my book '10 ways not to lose your home in the Stock Market "(due in 2005) I wrote" What we do not realize is that instead of spreading our risks, we were magnifying our risk. Example, Using a stop loss of 2% portfolio risk, say a trader has ten positions. This means that if the market takes a sudden dive and all registers are activated, they risk losing 20% of their total portfolio value. Expand from which to twenty positions, then 20 x 2% = 40% of their portfolio at risk It can happen - it happened .. If you freeze or have margin loans, the destruction be much worse ....
Dr. Elder refers to the 2% risk rule as protection against shark attack and the concept is further to a 6% rule to protect piranha attack to close out the entire portfolio if it drops by 6% in the last month. Ie
Taking this to its logical extension, Dr. Elder describes how, using this strategy, traders also limited in three positions (at 2% risk) to start, until one of them rise in profit before opening additional positions. "

Bedford (egTrading Secrets) and Dr. Alexander Elder (eg Come into my Trading Room) for further explanation.)
In the following article I will discuss how we Atkinson Portfolio Planner to ensure that the next scheduled risk and money management criteria are met:

How to Terror-Proof Your Money
"To drift is to be in hell, in heaven is to steer." - George
Bernard Shaw
Former Homeland Security Director,
Tom Ridge, has said it is not a question of "if"
we have another terrorist attack, but when.
As the attack of 9/11, the financial consequences of
another terrorist attack will be felt by almost
everyone living in the United States. If you
have a false sense of complacency
because we have not been attacked, think for a
moment about what you could lose if a major attack
occurred in the not too distant future.
After September 11, 2001, major economic shifts
occurred, and that a relatively small event.
If a nuclear or dirty bomb went off in New York
City, the economic "fall out" would be much, much his
larger. Fortunately, there are simple, effective
ways' terror-proof "your savings if you know
what to do.
After the events of 9/11, I felt a
to think how I assigned my own again
investment. As a Certified Financial Planner and
investment educator, I had many students who
were concerned about protecting their portfolio. I
search for books that may be of help, but
could not find a useful and reasonable to find
priced. That's why I decided to write my own. With
the help of my co-author Jonathan Robinson, we
wrote "Terror-Proof Your Mind and Money: Make
Physical, financial and mental safety
Dangerous Times. "
In the book, we discuss many
practical ways to easily take the "terror" of
terrorism by alleviating one's fear, secure
a home, and to protect the financial assets.
Although I can not discuss all suggestions
described in our book in a short article like this, I can
provide many useful guidelines for the protection of
your assets in the event of another tragedy. When
time of another attack occurs, if your
investment in the right places, you will
weathered the storm subsequent fine. Still, if you
assets are poorly positioned, you could face the
prospect of financial (and emotional)
destruction.
HOUSE OF CARDS
If you look honest
in our current economic climate, you can see there
many vulnerabilities. In the case of a large
terrorist attack in the U.S., our economy can
outside the "House of Cards." Consider the
following:
1. The fair, especially tech
stocks like Google, Yahoo and eBay are traded at
higher valuations than tech stock prices during
the dot.com bubble in the late 1990's. Many
commentators call even early 2005
market "echo bubble."
2. The benchmark 10-year
Treasury bond which is less than 5% in a world
that is promised by higher interest
Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. (Higher
interest rates will cause the value of your long
term bonds decline in value automatically.)
3. The
housing market is definitely overpriced on both
coasts, and is probably unsustainable in the
middle of the country too. Home sales have begun
to slow down in the light of the higher mortgage,
bizarre prices, too much speculation, and the buyer
exhaustion. If the current owners can not borrow
more money out of their ever increasingly valuable
residence, they will continue to spend at the mall? The
is largely borrowed money from homes
that the consumer has helped to buy the last three years ... and
without it, the U.S. would easily into a trap
recession - causing even more trouble.
4. The
value of the dollar - looked at the rest of the
world as part of the stock in the USA Inc. - has been
falling for nearly three years. Do you think the
world will continue to put $ 500-600000000000
dollar value of their savings in our economy
every year? If foreigners decide not to send their
money to us, our interest rates to rise
faster than the promised "gradualism" promised by
Mr. Greenspan. Most Americans do not really care
on the value of the dollar on the world market,
but I assure you if the dollar is a kind
of "American Peso," we will all soon learn how
a weak dollar can hurt. For example, we have
buy oil in dollars, and as dollars are not worth the effort
something, how we will afford us to fill the tank
our beautiful new SUV?
5. And finally, the rate of
inflation (classically defined as too much of a
increase the amount of money in circulation)
increases. And if that kind of inflation
(Monetary) increases, then the inflation will not
far behind. A replay of inflation would
Essentially, a repetition of the whole troublesome
1970's.
Yes, there is undoubtedly good news
on investment, but too expensive markets
are inherently risky in any kind of time, and they
perform very poorly in panic, terror beaten
financial markets. A terrorist act would
exaggerate problems in all these markets.
ASSET ALLOCATION
I have been teaching workshops investment since 1979. In 1999 and early
2000 I could not worry about ridiculous stock my adult students
prices. My reportedly savvy adult students all thought, "This time it's different."
Well, live and learn. Warren Buffett, the best investor of our era has said,
"Investment knowledge is cumulative."
Mr. Buffet
has apparently learned that the U.S. stock market
is not a good bet now. He recently publicly
stated that he has nothing to buy in the U.S.
stock market, but instead is focused on the buying
foreign currency.
In studying what happened to
financial markets after the attack of 9/11, I
learned that the investors who had diversified money
in different asset allocations did pretty good. So
if history is any lesson, you will probably do just fine
at a future attack if you invest
"Relative" equal percentages of your investment
money in the categories of shares, short-term
bonds, cash, commercial property and
commodities (including gold and silver). Once
you've moved your money to these different asset classes
classes, the next thing to focus on is to start
picking specific funds or individual
shares that you think will perform well in
types of turbulent markets. For example, in a
increasingly dangerous world, certain "safety"
stocks would probably be good investments (if other
value considerations are present.) This classic
defense stocks such as Boeing and Lockheed have done
well since 9/11. Of course, I'm not your financial
advisor and this is not to recruit forum
some companies, so I am not recommending
something without knowing more about you. On the contrary,
my goal is here to look at the allocation
of assets - the major areas of your invested
inch
Besides detailing how certain sectors
has after 9/11, I spent a lot of attention in
to encourage investors to take our book
precious metals in their portfolios. Gold and
silver investors have protected for centuries from
financial mismanagement, bad governments,
inflation, and of course, the war. It is not a
accident that the Golden Rule is often
misquoted as "Those with the golden rule." It is
also worth remembering that all "fiat" currencies
(Paper to be explained by any authority money
without exchangeable into something else)
have eventually become "collectibles." Confederate
money, French assignats, Iraqui dinars, etc. have
all become confetti. Compare that track record
the fact that any gold or silver coin
ever made still has value. You should think about
placing a certain percentage of your money in gold and
silver if you're looking to make your portfolio
terror-proof.
You preparation can not be
perfectly. As George Patton said: "A good plan today
is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. "No one is
born knowing how to invest. Smart investors
develop their knowledge by reading about what
others were doing with their money, and coming up with a
appropriate plan based on all the information they
can collect. Remember, the traditional Wall Street
TV brokers and financial analysts rarely (if ever)
to the subject of terror-proofing your
savings. Therefore, unlike the book I
co-author on this subject, you're pretty much on
your own when considering the likely effects
of a terrorist attack on your financial health. Make
your decisions carefully.
For most people, the
worst scars of a future terrorist attack will not
physical. They will be emotionally and financially.
If you are caught flat-footed, your future
financial plans (and those of your loved ones)
may be delayed for a considerable period of time, or destroyed
completely. That would be the addition of a tragedy
on top of each other. It's time to pay attention to your attention
where your money is and take appropriate
action ... before it's too late.

Well, live and learn. Warren Buffett, the best investor of our era has said,
"Investment knowledge is cumulative."
Mr. Buffet
has apparently learned that the U.S. stock market
is not a good bet now. He recently publicly
stated that he has nothing to buy in the U.S.
stock market, but instead is focused on the buying
foreign currency.
In studying what happened to
financial markets after the attack of 9/11, I
learned that the investors who had diversified money
in different asset allocations did pretty good. So
if history is any lesson, you will probably do just fine
at a future attack if you invest
"Relative" equal percentages of your investment
money in the categories of shares, short-term
bonds, cash, commercial property and
commodities (including gold and silver). Once
you've moved your money to these different asset classes
classes, the next thing to focus on is to start
picking specific funds or individual
shares that you think will perform well in
types of turbulent markets. For example, in a
increasingly dangerous world, certain "safety"
stocks would probably be good investments (if other
value considerations are present.) This classic
defense stocks such as Boeing and Lockheed have done
well since 9/11. Of course, I'm not your financial
advisor and this is not to recruit forum
some companies, so I am not recommending
something without knowing more about you. On the contrary,
my goal is here to look at the allocation
of assets - the major areas of your invested
inch
Besides detailing how certain sectors
has after 9/11, I spent a lot of attention in
to encourage investors to take our book
precious metals in their portfolios. Gold and
silver investors have protected for centuries from
financial mismanagement, bad governments,
inflation, and of course, the war. It is not a
accident that the Golden Rule is often
misquoted as "Those with the golden rule." It is
also worth remembering that all "fiat" currencies
(Paper to be explained by any authority money
without exchangeable into something else)
have eventually become "collectibles." Confederate
money, French assignats, Iraqui dinars, etc. have
all become confetti. Compare that track record
the fact that any gold or silver coin
ever made still has value. You should think about
placing a certain percentage of your money in gold and
silver if you're looking to make your portfolio
terror-proof.
You preparation can not be
perfectly. As George Patton said: "A good plan today
is better than a perfect plan tomorrow. "No one is
born knowing how to invest. Smart investors
develop their knowledge by reading about what
others were doing with their money, and coming up with a
appropriate plan based on all the information they
can collect. Remember, the traditional Wall Street
TV brokers and financial analysts rarely (if ever)
to the subject of terror-proofing your
savings. Therefore, unlike the book I
co-author on this subject, you're pretty much on
your own when considering the likely effects
of a terrorist attack on your financial health. Make
your decisions carefully.
For most people, the
worst scars of a future terrorist attack will not
physical. They will be emotionally and financially.
If you are caught flat-footed, your future
financial plans (and those of your loved ones)
may be delayed for a considerable period of time, or destroyed
completely. That would be the addition of a tragedy
on top of each other. It's time to pay attention to your attention
where your money is and take appropriate
action ... before it's too late.

Your Portfolio and "Old Ironsides"
The USS Constitution first ventured into the waters in 1798. From there she became an icon of sustainability and success.
In the battle, the ship was known as "Old Ironsides" because the shots of enemy ships seemed to bounce her torso. She may be best remembered for her service in the War of 1812.
Today, you can find peace calm the trusty ship in the port of Boston.
During the week of the Fourth of July, in the Boston Harbor Fest, "Old Ironsides" its annual tour of the harbor. Makes This is referred to as the "Turn-Around" cruise.
As investors, we can learn a lot from this old ship and its history.
The first is a long service life.
It is easy to be affected by the short-term direction of the market. A long-term perspective, if justified, is best observed. Of course if you have a short-term goal, to aggressive investments such as individual stocks are not the best alternative. However, if you have before retirement, you should ignore. Volatility in the short term many years As with "Old Ironsides," she fought many battles, but more than two hundred years later, and floats above water.
A second point to remember, like the ship, your portfolio maintenance from time to time.
Positions can weaken and require your attention. Other positions may grow to a point where profit taking is in order. As with the strong currents of the sea, the market will have to take direction and you have to adapt to it.
Finally, you should consider periodic evaluations (ie monthly, quarterly, annually) vital for your portfolio. Even the USS Constitution has an annual appointment with America, where she makes her "Turn-Around" trip. This enables her to evenly while still at dock during the year and to keep her. Active committee Spectators, meanwhile, have the ability to see all sides of the ship. You, too, should be familiar with all areas of your portfolio.

Delist My Corporation Please
It use to be said that once a company is trading in the Nasdaq was the kiss of death, not more so. With Sarbanes Oxley and all the insane reporting requirements would save from incessant lawsuits from investors your company and government regulators who are out to destroy. Free enterprise NASQAQ Many small companies have more than $ 100,000 spent initially set up the controls for accounting compliance with Sarbanes Oxley and now ongoing research on transparency is a good 1-3% of gross sales. But that's not the kicker, the real problem is when company executives make decisions for regulatory compliance and visibility than what is best for the company out of trouble or of receiving a letter from Elliot Spitzer or the SEC. Once that happens and the stock tumbles once in placing a supervisor they are going to have to prove something to esteem even if they are a little lie or fudge their research to find something to do. That is too often as any insider will tell you.
A company is delisted or deregistered able to bring added value to their bottom line immediately and will have the benefit of making decisions based on market advantage and profit goals rather than appease brain supervisors and thousands of pages of new rules with millions of pages have new jurisprudence.
Some companies are seriously thinking of going private, not to go public. Is now the list is no longer the death blow but it breathes new life into a stagnant blood innovative company that due to Sarbanes Oxley has become. Bureaucratic One CEO we spoke with said that he feels the need to call his lawyer if he wants to use to ensure that the legally safe and once in the chest of drawers takes a clipboard to ensure that he has the right to the toilet used toilet tissue. Think on this absurdity.

Press Release Scams and Successes: Reading Between the Lines
Press releases are a means by which companies can keep the public informed about their recent cases. It is the duty of every public company to its investors and indirectly potential investors aware of what is going to hold in the company. It should not be forgotten, however, that the increase. In the ultimate interest of the company for the price of the share Consequently, companies are increasingly selective about what and how information is presented in such releases.
Your mother always said, "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is." This popular saying is particularly true with respect to press releases penny stock companies'. Certainly all press releases are optimistic, otherwise companies would not release them. But if we look to invest in a company, be aware of overly ambitious, optimistic and unsubstantiated press releases. A company with sales of 10 million and 11 has had for the past two years and that claims will bring better a darn good reason. Turnover of 40 to 50 million next year Examining press releases by breaking down the argument underlying logic is an excellent way to uncovering reasoning that deliberately muddled than it seems to be better. For example, if a company says its software sales increased by 300% in the past year, but do not indicate what percentage of their total sales was composed of software sales, are suspect. If not to implement a company lay out a detailed plan of how money and increase profits will, it is likely that their only source of income is selling worthless shares to sucker investors.
Another diversionary tactic often employed by Pink Sheet Stocks, but which are also used by OTC-BB stocks, is ambivalent about their filing status. These companies know that one of the surest ways to increase the price of the shares and thus the profits of the investor if the stock is recorded at a higher exchange. (That is, the OTC-BB for Pink Sheet stocks, for the NASDAQ OTC BB, etc.) Through this knowledge, unscrupulous marketing companies or even the companies themselves are showing that they will either submit or have submitted financials loose and paperwork needed to apply for another currency. This release is usually followed by a sharp rise in the share price, and then ... nothing. If pushed the company generally makes up some garbage about how for some reason now not a good time to file after all, but she was genuinely trying to do all along. The reality is, they were driving up the price so they could dump the stock and make a killing unsuspecting investors.
Unless you know 100% sure that the company has actually hired the staff and then physically handed to evaluate the financials should you follow this simple advice:
If a company says = what it really means is
We plan on submitting this quarter = We plan on selling our shares this quarter.
We have filed with the SEC = We will soon be investigated by the SEC for what we are currently doing.
That is not to say, however, that you generally do not rely and act on press releases. A kind of positive Press Release of particular interest to Penny Stock investors as a small company announces that it signed an exclusive agreement with a larger firm to perform a function or service for that company has been committed. This kind of press release is particularly important for potential investors for a number of reasons. The first is that unlike the ads that optimistic prediction about the future, this kind of announcement is controllable by the partner company. For example, if ABC Internet Technologies Company signs an exclusive contract to supply with its accounting for the next five years, General Electric, you can rest assured that the price of ABC Internet Technologies Company will skyrocket. To check the announcement please contact the GE more established, which also provides information on the agreement to let go. Some of the most relevant information, the scope of the contract, the exit penalty of GE, as well as the expected initial investment on the part of the Penny Stock Company. This will allow you to predict the new valuation of the company and use this information to determine your plans for buying and / or selling the stock.
Another potential windfall-esque discovery under press releases is on the front of that discovery to give an undertaking that was scheduled to bankruptcy to stay an agreement with creditors reached earlier release. The assertion of bankruptcy is a very real threat to some Penny Stocks, and as a result usually the price of such stocks is trading at only about a penny, because if the company goes under shareholders lose their full participation. If a company is able to avoid bankruptcy, the price usually many, multiply many times over offering early investors the opportunity to put their money 10 or 20 times more than multiply in less than a day. (Not bad for a day's work, eh)
The key to understanding press releases is the ability to act on two contradictory thoughts simultaneously. Remember that the Penny Stock market, because the institutionalized less is often more about predicting the emotional and erratic behavior of your fellow investors rather than simply making the following rational and logical decision based on the figures. In this sense, to formulate. Important when reading a press release to consider how your fellow investors the information initially will interpret, because this will come to many of the original direction and drive the stock But it is also important to consider more closely the Press Release. If you find that the company seems to leave out important information seems to completely avoid the stock. Muddling numbers and percentages, or uses one of the cries for standard scams, Even if you 'fellow investors initially drive up the price of the stock and you think you might have been at the top of the rising wave, you can not be sure if the scam will hit. You can have no idea of inside investors are planning to dump their stock 50% 100% or even 200%. And although you may be able to earn a profit or twice by playing the game to ensure that over time you will recommend, sell too late, and be stuck holding thousands of shares worth less wrong than the paper they are written on.

DXPortfolio - A Great Passive Investment of 25% to 40% per month
First, I need to explain about e-currencies or digital currencies. DXPortfolio based and supported by the supply and demand of e-currency. Before, I'm going to explain how I have used grow in line with my DXPortfolioto my e-gold account a nice sized nest egg for later (which is growing as we speak), I have to tell you something. As you might guess, the growth of digital currencies only just begun. That gave me the idea of DXPortfolio. This is a portfolio based on the current collection of global e-currency exchange fees. Since these costs will only increase, the portfolio will only increase. As you can see, it is a win win situation. The only factor involved is how fast or slow will increase. My experience has shown an average gain in my portfolio increase per month. Between 25% to 40% That will be good an increase of over 500% per year. I have been involved for more than 6 months and plan to continue my involvement. I almost forgot the best part.

Angels Investors and Their Networks
What is an Angel Investor?
An angel is usually a private individual who invests in small businesses. The angel is generally a successful entrepreneur or business owner who is looking to invest in a company that has potential for the growth of their investment in the future.
Angels are especially successful entrepreneurs who may be retired. Angels can also be made up of friends and family who just want to invest in a company where the family involved and where there is potential in due time for a good profit.
They are obviously rich and sufficient additional capital to invest in a growing company in exchange for a share in the ownership of the business. They provide means to different stages of the growth process of the sector, and more at the start-up phase than in the other phases later.
Angels also have extensive experience in running businesses so they can evaluate an investment opportunity and will invest if they feel that the risk is small. They usually like to invest in companies that are located within a reasonable distance from their home and their reasons are varied, including not only economic, but also personally.
What do find Angel Investors?
Angels looking for companies that have high growth potential and which products or services, or an invention that an attractive future earnings growth has. Angels are also engaged in the management of the company and it is in this area that many Angels can get personally involved.
Angels to their own experience, as well as their business contacts, all of which are important factors in the success or otherwise of the company to bring. Those who do not want to take an active role in the company's day-to-day management is a kind of take by serving as a consultant or as a member of the board of directors. Involvement
Because of the amount of money Angel investors typically jeopardize investment in a business, they are a lot easier to protect than to go for the larger funding from the likes of venture capitalists. Typically an Angel would invest somewhere between $ 10,000 to $ 500,000, especially in the initial phase of development of business.
What is an Angel Network?
An angel network is a group of organizations working as a team to introduce business entrepreneurs to potential investors. Their role is to be a facilitator or a party introduces Angels to investment and the potential of these investments. They are not real estate or business advisers as such, because their main function is to bring. The two sides together
This Angel networks vary in size and in the makeup and also other companies, business development groups, government agencies, and even academic institutions and institutions. They are all mostly non-profit groups whose only reward for successful businesses run by a partnership with Angel investors see.
The Advantages of Business Angel Finance
Obtaining financing for a new business is never easy. In fact, it is very difficult because of the risks involved and because the whole idea or undertaking is unproven. Many entrepreneurs come across many disappointments when trying to find funding for the initial development of their business idea and they give up.
If your business is new, too risky or unproven to qualify for the conventional method of generating business financing, and if it is too small or lack substance or potential to the attention of venture capitalists get, then you might need to look for An Angel for finance.
Many companies have grown large and successful companies, as related in the early stages of an angel or a few business Angels together the necessary capital and start-up offer in the early stage of the business.
The biggest advantage of the business angel finance is that they do not need protection. This means that they are particularly suited to those matters little in the way of assets, but whose main asset amounts ideas or inventions, or copyrights they hold. Their main asset is simply intellectual capital alone.
Angels do not need security because they purchase a share in the company by taking equity or shares in the company. Another advantage of the company's Angels is that they are much easier to secure than venture capital or bank financing.
The reason is because an angel anyone they encounter entrepreneur, or a family member or coworker, or simply a professional investor who is involved in small business financing.
One of the biggest advantages of an angel brings to a company is their valuable experience and skills, which can be just as beneficial to the business and capital.

Finding the Perfect Company
The perfect company - it's the holy grail of the investment world. The company that its initial investment hundreds of times will make over. It's what everyone shoots for. To have bought Microsoft when it first went public ... It's how fortunes are made. What makes "the perfect business"?
The search for the perfect company is not the pursuit of day-traders or market insiders. They are looking for quick and dirty performance. High speed, high risk, high stress. No, the perfect company is more along the lines of what an individual investor - like you or me - would look. I do not want to have my hand on my mouse until the closing bell just to make sure I do not lose my shirt. I want to buy a position in a company and know that no matter what today or tomorrow, eight months from now so will my portfolio be worth more than today. I'm not talking about a laissez-faire approach to investing - far from it. What I'm talking about does take an investment of time and, in the research, understanding the ins and outs of a company, but one that will be paid off in spades.
That is an approach that I have taken seriously (guess what, we're talking about money here), and that I feel makes the market less of a gamble. It is a mantra that has gotten me delivers in the double digits on the Dow to date in a clearly difficult year.
So, you may ask: "What is the perfect company What features should it have??"
One of the most important things - in my opinion - about investing in a business is the feeling that you are a partner. It is essential to know the business inside out. Aware of their products, and all their songs. Above all, you must be excited in the company you are investing in. If not, what's the point? Your gut is an important part of investing. If you are not portfolio gets you going, you might as well gamble in Vegas. At least you'd get free stuff.
The perfect business fundamentals are, well, basic. It is so important to familiarize yourself with the annual and quarterly reports (10-K is your friend) and listen to quarterly conference calls (both can be done very easily online Check out the investor relations website for more information.) . Remember, you're not banking on market psychology, you are focused on profit. Regardless of what happens to a company, or they have juicy profits, their stock price WILL go up. There's no two ways about it. Make sure the company is making money and you will too.
Emotion has a natural role. If you love a company, it can be expected that you will be blinded by that fact when it comes time to sell. A remedy for this is to define a reasonable sell point before you even buy. Too often people look up their positions go beyond their expectations only to see them fall back down what they bought. Take a look at analyst estimates, and other factors (after following the market for a while, the kind of instinctive) to try and determine to sell at whatever happens. A price Just as importantly, do not forget to evaluate a regular basis. Things change, you do not want to miss out on big profits or look in the direction of a share price of the stock will never to. News and economic factors will affect things change your estimates are adequate.
Just as you need to evaluate for a file, you sell point again you often have to evaluate your position in the company itself again. While a company exciting and ideal for you can be when you bought their stock, things change. Maybe the product line that you might not take off. Maybe their visionary CEO retired. Maybe something just does not feel right. Ambivalence has no place in this game.
Do not be afraid to express about the company, your opinion either. You're an owner, however small, and have an obligation to protect your investment. While you may not have the same clout or voting power as an institutional investor, or anyone who measure their equity as a percentage of the company, but sometimes, making your points makes known the difference. Lobby that powerful shareholders of the company, as well as other individual investors. (We'll have more on making your piece heard in an upcoming issue).
If you want to try your hand at speculative, technical trading, this is not the method for you. But if you want to shoot for a combination of excitement and profit, you can look at this a bit. It worked for me. If you can find this to be a particularly rewarding idea.'re A seasoned investor or a newbie willing to learn (through methods that do not need money initially)
