What Not to Do When Trading Penny Stocks

by Alex Burke
When it comes to the stock market, nothing is more profitable and volatile than penny stocks. Although it might seem easier to make a bigger profit from Penny Stocks, it does involve a similar mentality as regular stock trading.
Over the course of time, most beginners and even intermediate level traders will fall into the many traps of trading. If it happens that you see yourself falling into the "traps" below, understand that it's natural to do many of these things, but you must train yourself not to fall victim to them...
1. "Falling in love" with a stock, a company, a technology or a "story"
Often times, when beginner traders first start investing, they get caught up in the moment of trading. While it's perfectly okay to enjoy the stocks you're buying, and even like the company, any stock trading expert will tell you that getting too emotionally involved with the stocks you're buying can kill your profits.
A company's "story" might be important to know for long-term investing, but for short-term trading, falling in love with a company's story isn't a wise investing move. Especially for shorter-term investing, it's important to do diligence on penny stocks before investing big.
2. Trading and picking stocks like if you were gambling on a casino
The second trap a lot of beginners fall into is to assume the stock market is like gambling, and to randomly invest in stocks. There are reasons why prices of stock go up and down, and the truth is, that a lot of beginner investors will invest like they're gambling on a casino table... based on a matter of luck.
Expert traders will always look at graphs and charts to see why, and when to buy shares of stock. There are plenty of powerful software's out there to help automate most of the research, but it's important to understand that researching stocks first is a critical step.
3. Buying penny stocks that are pumped on message boards, spam emails and bogus hot stock tips
This happens more than we see, but when we read about "easy-money" from investing early in a new penny stock, it entices us to think that only a select few are buying. The reality is, the initiators of the "stock pump" are almost always the only ones to profit.
It's always a wise move to avoid the allure of impulse investing in any stock being advertised in general. Do the research first...
And this leads us to the last of the "traps".
4. Failure to control emotions
This one's simple... don't fall into the trap like most traders do of basing trades on emotions. Trading with out a strategy that clarifies when to buy and when to sell a stock is dangerous. In order to trade successfully over and over, you need to have clear buy and sell signals.

Is it Worth it to Take a Class on Personal Financial Planning?

by Samantha Asher
As a Finance major in college, I was required to take a class entitled Personal Financial Planning. This included the Time Value of Money, Net Cash Flows for Individuals, Credit, Retirement Planning, Budgeting, and Estate Planning. It included all the stuff you should know if you were a financial adviser helping out clients. This information could be used to help plan retirement, set up an investment strategy, and get through life without worrying about money.
As I took the class, I thought it was a very easy class. It was easy to me because I had already known almost all of it from books, magazine articles, and internet sites I had read the years before when I first became interest in finance. I often wondered why it was enough necessary to take such a simple class. Everyone should know all this stuff already, right?
Most people, especially people less concerned with their finances, don't know much about the topics taught in this, if any at all. They don't know because no one ever taught them and they never went searching themselves as I did. I believe that this is very important information for everyone, finance major and the ordinary citizen alike. In an ideal world, finance would be another subject taught in grade school and high school just like math and science.
Unfortunately we don't live an ideal world and many ordinary citizens don't understand all this information. If you are yearning for more financial knowledge so that you can better manage your money, you are taking a step in the right direction. How do you go about this? You may be wondering if you should take a Personal Financial Planning class. You could audit a class at your local college, but is that really necessary?
I don't believe it is. You can save money and time and add a little more enjoyment and leisure by doing it the same way I did, by reading books. Check out the link below to find out more about the basics of personal finance. You can find information on making goals, budgeting, and managing your money. Pick up several books on personal finance and start reading. Read about investing, retirement planning, and how to save money. If you are further worried that you are missing something you could have learned in a class like that, pick up a copy of a Personal Financial Planning textbook that would be used in such a class and read it. It is not a subject that you would really need help from a teacher with. By reading a good textbook, you can get all the explanations and examples you need, plus you can also search for a financial forum online if you need any extra help.

Renting Vs. Buying a Home: The Debate Rages On

by Evan Sage

The debate rages on as to whether it is better to buy a home or rent it. Outlined in this article are 12 benefits to buying a home and 8 benefits to renting. The debate pretty well boils down to what is right for you in your situation. This article will help you to determine just that.
Outlined below are 12 benefits to buying a home as compared to renting:
1. Buying home is a great investment. Homes tend to increase in value, in the past 20 years the average Toronto home has increased 11% per year.
2. You are in complete control. You can make any changes or improvements you want. When you do spend the time and money to improve the house it is for your betterment not your landlord's.
3. You can leverage your money. You can put down as little as 5% and the bank comes up with the rest, yet you are still in full control. That is as long as you maintain your mortgage payments.
4. You have the ability to step up to a better home by leveraging your existing home equity. This can typically happen without significant increases in monthly expenses.
5. Your monthly mortgage payments are like forced savings. In the early days the majority of the payment is interest but you are still increasing your equity position with each payment. You then withdraw these savings when you sell your home.
6. Protection against inflation. Assuming you have a fixed rate mortgage your payments will not change over the life of your commitment, even if inflation goes up.
7. You have the ability to live how you want to live, decorate how you want to decorate. You get to be the king/queen of your castle.
8. You do not have to pay capital gains tax when you sell your primary Toronto residence. This is not the same situation for an investment property, but there certainly are other tax benefits associated with investing in property.
9. There are great tax benefits on investment properties. Even if the property is not your primary residence there are some significant tax deductions that that make this a very favourable investment strategy.
10. Typically when you buy you get more space than when you rent. This is not always the situation but it often is.
11. It is usually quieter in a Toronto home that you bought than a Toronto apartment that you rent. Many apartment buildings are just thrown up these days with paper thin walls. car
12. The monthly costs of owning a place are often just a little bit more than what you would pay in rent for an equivalent space. As you pay those monthly expenses you are bettering your home equity position as opposed to paying down your landlord's mortgage.
Outlined below are 8 benefits to renting as compared to buying:
1. If you tend to like to move around than buying may not make sense since there are some decent size expenses associated with buy and selling a property. You also are more susceptible to basing your move around market conditions.
2. You may not be able to afford the down payment. First an last is much more affordable than 5-25% of the value of a property.
3. If there is a possibility that you will lose your job and not be able to make your mortgage payments. The downsides of missing your rent are much less than if you miss mortgage payments.
4. If you think you may be getting divorced you should wait to purchase a home. Not only is it a real hassle to deal with, it is unlikely that your home will have appreciated by the time you are forced to sell.
5. If you have had bad credit. You will need to reestablish your credit before you apply for a mortgage. It is highly recommended that you run a credit check on yourself before you go to your bank.
6. You may not be able to afford buying. There is nothing wrong with that, don't make yourself house poor, just wait.
7. If you think the housing market is going down you may want to wait until it hits bottom and starts to bounce back. But be careful as by the time it is bouncing back the financial gains to buying in the slump may be lost.
8. You may just not want to have to deal with the inevitable maintenance of a home. As a renter all you have to do is call the landlord.

Changing the Channel - Adding SEO as a Marketing Strategy

by Lauren Hobson
Your small business probably uses multiple marketing "channels" already, whether you think of them as channels or not. Print advertising, email campaigns, pay-per-click marketing, direct mail, banner ads - all of these are different types of marketing channels that you may already be using to promote your products and services. But although most small businesses know that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is important for their web sites, not many use SEO as one of their strategic marketing channels.
So why consider using SEO as a key marketing strategy? Because like it or not, search engines (especially Google) are going to remain the most predominant method of driving traffic to web sites in the foreseeable future. Period. So if you want to capture some of that traffic, SEO should probably be included - or even prioritized - as a strategic marketing channel in your marketing plans.
Here's what makes SEO such a good channel for small business marketing:
1. Tremendous ROI - Often, it doesn't take a huge investment to improve your search engine results. Adding a few simple strategies each month can add up to great results over time. But if you're looking for faster results, a complete optimization of your web site will produce the greatest results in the shortest amount of time. And compared with the returns that an optimized site can produce, investing in SEO (either time or money or both) is a great value for your business.
2. Higher Brand Visibility - When your business and/or brand shows up in the top search results, you gain web visibility every time someone searches for your terms. The sheer repetition of seeing your business consistently listed at the top creates not only visibility, but also credibility and brand recognition. I'm sure you've heard that consumers need to see or hear a message at least three times before they pay attention to it, so the more they see your business in the search results, the better for you and your business.
3. Accurate Tracking and Measuring - With all the web analytics tools available today, it's fairly easy to capture data that can help you determine what's working on your site and what's not, enabling you to make adjustments and constantly improve your results. If you're not tracking what happens with your web site each month, how can you know if it's truly helping your business?
4. New Leads and Sales Generation - Since users turn to search engines almost 80% of the time to find information, there is virtually an inexhaustible supply of new prospects and potential customers searching for the types of products and services you provide. SEO can help your web site show up when people are most likely to visit - while they are in the process of actively searching for your information!
5. Pre-Qualified Traffic - By optimizing your web site, you can attract the types of visitors that are important to your business by using highly targeted keywords and phrases that directly relate. For instance, a law firm with a non-optimized site would likely attract all types of clients, even though the practice may specialize only in family law. By optimizing for "family law," the site is much more likely to attract pre-qualified clients who are already looking specifically for this type of service.
As a small business, it's important that you take advantage of the marketing channels that make the most sense for you. And by considering SEO as a strategic marketing channel, you open up your business to a whole new world driven by the web and its mighty search engines (and yes, I mean Google). This new channel may help you discover some new and untapped benefits that will help your business grow and thrive well into the future.

How to Learn Forex Trading Made E Z and Take Your Profits to New Heights

by William R. Alheim, Jr., CPA, MA
If you are in search of a low risk high return form of investing in the currency markets then Forex Trading Made E Z might be for you. It is a Forex strategy called "Forex Scalping." Essentially, what this means you try and enter the markets very quickly, never holding your position over night and attempted to sell your position when your Return on Investment (ROI) reaches 5%. It is easy to learn currency trading this way and the execution is simple.
One of the principle reasons it is low risk, is that you are not maintaining a position when you are not at the computer and can instantly react to bad news and exit a losing trade without to much damage. If you are under the impression there is a way to invest in the currency markets and never have losses, well I have bad news for you. That is not the way it works, if you want winning investments then of course you will having losing trades.
The concept is to "MAKE MONEY," it is not to avoid losing money. I once had a business mentor when I was younger and we were discussing one of my restaurants when he said something I have never forgot. He said, "You don't go into business to save money, you go into business to make money." Well exactly the same concept applies to investing in the FX markets, "You don't go into the markets NOT to lose money, but at the end of the month to MAKE money."
What makes Forex Scalping such a great trading technique if you are able to master it, you will have very few losing days. Thus, if you do the math and are able to make a 5% ROI on your investment daily and only have a few losing days in between where you set your Stop Loss (SL) at 2% ROI, it is easy to determine you account can double in less than a months period. Then you put together a few months in a row like that and just imagine what your profit level is and how many times you will have doubled you initial investment. Quite a few is the answer.
I am sure you're wondering where you learn this trading method. One of the most respectable and long lasting Forex courses is called Forex Trading Made E Z where this exact investing technique is taught. The currency course has thousands of previous students that swear by what is taught in this class and have been using it for years to produce substantial profits. If you have time, I think you will find it advantageous to research this program.

Is it Time to Buy Stocks?

by Jorge Malo

Everybody wants to know if it is time to buy stocks and financial advisors, brokers and analyst are quick to say Yes because stock prices are cheap. If you are one of those investors asking if it is a good idea to buy stocks right now, then please take into consideration the following points before investing any money:
1. - The stock price is not a reason to buy. Most people see a share price going from $50 to $10 and they jump in thinking that it is cheap and it is going back to $50. Stock prices don't have an obligation to repeat themselves. Most of the times, when you see a price going lower it is because of a reason; it could be related to the company, its industry, or the World economy. Before jumping into that stock make sure you understand the reason for its current price and also have a good reason or argument of why it should go back up. Always remember that a $2 stock does not mean the stock is cheap, it could go to zero.
2. - There is no direct relationship between time and stock profits. Investors and analyst believe that you should buy stocks and whatever happens with the price of the stock does not matter because you as an investors are "for the long run". The Buy and Hold technique does not guarantee a better return on your investments, and even can become a very risky proposition. First of all, if you want to really be successful with a "buy and hold" strategy you really need to make some market timing. If you follow investor's psychology, you will realize that small investors are usually the last one to buy into a bull market and also the last ones to sell into a bear market. This means that usually small investors will tend to buy stocks at higher prices only to see them turn into a loss during down markets. Also, it is safe to assume that if you are one of those investors that put money into a 401K or stock mutual fund every month, then the longer the markets go higher, the more money you are going to be willing to put into those type of products every month. So if you really want to be successful on a Buy and Hold strategy, you need to buy stocks during down markets when everybody else is selling. In order to do that, you need to accept the risks involved in playing against the crowd.
As mentioned before, stock prices don't have an obligation to go higher over time, and eventually the market goes South and people start to see their investment going lower and lower everyday. If you are one of those investors that purchased shares years ago thinking on keeping them for the "long term" you might see your portfolio down 40% or more and worst of all you have a very good chance that you own stocks that will probably never recover. Think about Yahoo trading over $150 during 1999, or GM trading at $50. Those stocks will probably never recover to those prices; there is more probability for those companies to disappear.
Buy and Hold is not the answer because it leaves out the most important part of the investment process, selling the stock. You will never make money on stocks if you don't sell them. It is so absurd, that people sometimes prefer to get a loan from their bank using their stocks as collateral instead of just selling their shares. I know what you thinking, what about taxes? You tell me what is best for you: paying taxes on your gains, or risking all your net worth to a down market only in order to avoid paying taxes?
So, if you want to know if it is a good time to buy stocks, my advise to you is to look for companies in well establish industries, and start investing little by little over time, but always have in mind an exit plan in order to take your profits. Look for the best-positioned companies in industries that will perform during the next administration and stay away from broken industries such as automobiles and airlines.

Withdrawing and Depositing Money Into Your Online Investing Accounts

by Nathan Navachi
When it comes to your online trading and investment accounts, what is the most important thing you can know when it comes to making money? Is it having a successful trading strategy? While this is important, the most important thing you can become familiar with is moving money into and out of your account, for money that you cannot spend is of no use to you.
This article will talk about the most widely accepted tools for moving money to and from investment and trading accounts, which is a topic that very few brokers will discuss with you directly but that everybody just expects you to know.
Using Credit Cards To Fund Your Trading Accounts
Many brokers will accept major credit cards as a means of funding your account, but whether or not this is a good choice for you to use depends on a number of factors. The size of your credit limit comes into play, as well as acknowledging whether or not this is a credit card that you use in your daily life such as going to the grocery store.
If this a a credit card that you use frequently, it would not be wise to run up the credit balance so that you do not have enough left to for common shopping items. If you are depositing a larger amount of money into your account (over $5,000) then it may make sense to use a different means of funding your account.
Using Electronic Fund Transfers to Add or Withdraw Money
One of the most popular ways of adding or withdrawing large amounts of money from investment or trading accounts is a standard electronic funds transfer.
There are different types of electronic fund transfers, but the kind that your broker will likely use will either be a direct deposit or a direct debit. A direct deposit is when you instruct your bank to transfer a certain amount of money from one of your bank accounts to one of your broker's accounts, and a direct debit is when you broker gives an instruction to collect a certain amount of money from an account you designate or the other way around for making recurring withdrawls.
A direct deposit is the same type of payment that most online affiliate networks or employers that pay employees electronically will use, which usually takes less than a day and does not require confirmation. A direct debit however does require some sort of authorization, and may be an option if you wish to withdraw a certain amount from your account on a monthly basis.

Property Tycoons: Use Other People's Money to Fund Your Investments

by Parmdeep Vadesha

Recent research has trumpeted the anticipated rise in the number of property tycoons. Market analyst Mintel revealed that the number of individuals who make significant amounts of money in the property business are expected to double by the end of the decade. The estimated growth is being attributed to the prediction that one million homeowners will be renting out a second property by the year 2010. What does this indicate? That you can take advantage of a growing market and eventually achieve the financial goals you set for yourself.
More and more property owners are in position to become property tycoons after reaping the benefits that bricks and mortar property investing offers and its importance as a compliment to saving for retirement. But if you want a strategy that has helped many others to succeed and become tycoons in property themselves, it's using other people's money (OPM) to finance a property investment portfolio. If you haven't yet learned about the technique, here are some things you will want to look into.
Many property financing services offer no money down schemes. There's bridging loans which let you buy properties using other people's money as a deposit. While a bridging loan has a preset repayment date, you can choose to follow an open schedule. This is one way of growing your property portfolio without having to rely on your savings.
How to buy using other people's money
One of the easiest methods of obtaining properties without having to spend a fortune is by finding properties that have been sitting on the market for a considerably long time. Many of these homeowners are motivated sellers who look to selling their houses fast that they'd be willing to give a hefty discount to the buyer - oftentimes below market value.
To ensure that the property is indeed below its true market value, get a surveyor in. He has the experience to declare if the property you want to acquire is indeed a BMV property and will make a note of this on the surveyor's valuation report. This assessment will be especially beneficial when you want to buy a property without having to spend your own money.
Another effective way of sourcing BMV properties is through property auctions. Due to the evening out of property prices, it is now possible to make big profits at auctions. If you plan to take part in an auction, you may want to heed what some experts at buying at auctions recommend: Target no less than 5 properties in each auction and prepare yourself to purchase any one of them on the day of sale.
The basics
Of course, if you're buying at auction you will need to do crucial research on the properties you're eyeing. Carefully go through all the documents associated with those properties. Choose the property that best answers your needs with regard to your investment goals. Set your maximum bid price and always remember to adhere to it as this will help you avoid making the mistake of over-bidding. Prior to attending an auction, get your finances in good shape since you'll need to make a 10% deposit once the gavel falls on your bid.
Using other people's money is one of the most attractive aspects of property investment. Once you have learned the finer points in using other people's money to finance your property investments, the possibility of you becoming the next property tycoon won't be too distant.

Commercial Real Estate: A Financially Rewarding Investment

by Andrew Stratton

Getting started in commercial real estate can be a daunting task. You will have to deal with tenants, business regulations, and a sometimes unpredictable market. However, commercial real estate can also be one of the most financially rewarding investments you can make.
A wise purchase can create a valuable safety financial safety net. But before you snap up an apartment building, follow these tips to help you choose the best possible property.
1. Location Location is one of the most important aspects of commercial real estate. Just as with residential, a good location can make up for many other property inadequacies. Some properties have more potential and can be marketed as a variety of business opportunities, lessening the need for a great locale. However, apartment buildings, condos, parking lots, or any property that has a revolving door of tenants will benefit greatly from a prime location. You want to ensure that your property is steadily occupied in order to maximize profits.
2. Know your limits Just because you are able to purchase a property, does not mean that you have the ability to manage it as well. Managing commercial real estate is a time consuming affair and a career in itself. Unless you're prepared to make this property your sole source of livelihood, it's best to outsource management to a trusted professional. That way you can concern yourself with more important matters than tenant complaints and trying to phone the cable company because apartment B's TV is on the fritz again.
3. Know what clients you want Which kind of client you're interested in working with will determine what commercial real estate to invest in. Larger businesses that rent or lease your property have greater negotiation skills and higher expectations and demands than small or family-run shops. Smaller businesses, however, can hit financial hardship which could negatively affect your own finances. Residential property can reap great rewards, but again there will be management issues. Each kind of client will provide a unique set of challenges as well as benefits.
4. Buy new or used? If you're buying a pre-existing piece of commercial real estate, you'll have to consider if you plan on budgeting renovations or remodels. Remodels can be a drain on finances as well as time, but you can potentially save money if you make wise choices. Not making necessary repairs, however, can put you at a great disadvantage. Sometimes buying newer property is the simplest solution, especially if you have little experience.
5. Realtors and marketing So you've bought some commercial real estate. Now what? If you choose an empty property or have built a new one, you'll need to attract clients. Commercial realtors can help you list and advertise your property, helping you spread the word. Commercial real estate is a great strategy to help spread and balance your investment portfolio or can just be a great way to earn some extra income. Investing in commercial real estate is a dynamic investment that will continue to grow over time, providing peace of mind that you are generating a healthy profit with minimal continuous effort.

How To Develop A Profitable Trading System

by Harry Skillings
There is no magic formula that guarantees profit on any type of investment. The forex market is no exception to this, but there are some steps you can take when devising your personal investing plan that will not only make profit more likely, but will protect you somewhat from disaster.
* Learn to Use Technical Analysis: The forex market lends itself very well to statistical analysis. Trend following is an example of a type of analysis that can guide the investor in making profitable decisions. Technical analysis of the market includes monitoring price movement as well as numerous other indicators. There are programs available where this amount of data can be crunched in any way that fits your own plan and your own needs. You are going to need to find the correct way to access and organize the data needed for the execution of your own investing strategy.
* Select Your Term: There are three basic time frames within the forex market dealing with the length of time a position in a certain currency is held. They are short term, medium term, and long term. Each has its pros and cons. The short term position holder, sometimes known as a scalper, will be making rapid fire trades often exchanging currencies back and forth within a single day. The long term trader will hold on to his currency for months or even years. The medium term trader usually holds his positions for a few days or a week. The advantage of the medium term is that it requires the least amount of capital to realize profit. Leverage is only needed to increase that profit, whereas in both long and short term trading, it is necessary to both protect the investment, and insure any chance of profit. Although medium term is recommended for the beginning investor, and iis less risky, you need to identify which is right for your personal plan, and stick to it. A plan that tries to use all three at once will most likely lead to confusion.
* Learn to Perfectly Time Your Trade: One of the features of the forex market is the ability of the investor to iprotect himself from drastic market swings. This is particulary important in today's environment. With the exception of weekends, there is a forex market operating somewhere day and night. A good trading plan should include both "stop loss" and "take profit" orders. These are basic instructions to change your currency position when either your profit or your loss reaches a certain point. The stop loss order is more easily understood. This is simply getting out before things get too bad. The take profit approach usually meets with more resistance, and it is true such an order might prevent you from making more profit should a volatile change keep moving the value upward. Volatile is volatile, however, and what goes up fast may come down faster. As you can not monitor your account twenty four hours a day, you want to know that if your profit point is obtained while you are sleeping, at least your expected level of profit will be realized.
One of the biggest advantages of the internet age regarding forex trading is that you can freely use demo accounts - these are basically virtual forex games. These programs give you a chance to invest virtual money and see if you are successfull. Once your trading plan is decised, execute it using a demo account. By doing this you will get a chance to see how it works, fix any bugs, and fine tune your entries and exits, before you risk any real money.

Great Way To Create Multiple Streams Of Income

by Gary David
0

Have you ever heard or read the phrase "multiple streams of income" before? Do you
know what this phrase means? For many businessmen, creating multiple streams of
income online or offline is one way of securing themselves as well as their businesses
in the future. They also believe that it can also save them from the so-called famine
effect in the business industry. Once you are engaged in affiliate marketing business,
it is advisable if you have multiple streams of affiliate marketing income so that if one
of those income streams vanished, it will not upset you the way losing your sole
stream would. If you depend on just one source of income and this single stream has
been downsized or has lain off, you'll surely find yourself bankrupted and hopeless.
Try to ask the most successful online entrepreneurs, and you'll discover that they
have established multiple streams of online income.
There is a businessman that said and attested that the very first step you must take
in creating multiple streams of income is to assess or evaluate your resources. Start
by assessing yourself first. Jot down your answers to the following questions: What
are the talents, abilities, strength and gears that you possess? Are you gifted with
excellent and creative writing skills? Can you do well at sales? Are you good in
communicating with people? Are you born with an artistic skill or unique ability that
other people don't have? Through this, you can determine the kind of business where
can possibly excel.
Next, look around and write down you assets and physical resources such as
computer, color printer, scanner, digital camera, cell phone, CD or DVD burner. Write
these all down because it can be used as a resource. Consider also your friends and
family. Find out what do they possess that you have access to. Remember that no
man is an island. You can use the talents, abilities, knowledge and resources of
everyone you know.
That's basically the initial step if you want to create multiple income streams. But if
you're already a webmaster or a site owner, you definitely have an edge. Why don't
you join affiliate marketing business to help you gain extra income out of your own
website?
Being involved in affiliate marketing is one of the most desirable ways to make multiple
sources of income. It is because affiliate marketing programs come in various shapes
and forms. There are a large number of affiliate marketing programs that you can sign
on with and start gaining bucks right away. In affiliate marketing, you can make
money by promoting and reselling your affiliate products and by recruiting new
affiliates. What's good about this is that you can find widest array of training
materials that can enhance your marketing abilities. In affiliate marketing, you can be
sure that there are genuine products to promote and sell and there is real income to
make.
Either part time or full time, being an affiliate marketer is an excellent way to create
multiple income streams by means of promoting products and services from web
merchants. Here, you can get affiliate commission without investing big bucks in
making your own product and without worrying about book keeping, customer support
and ecommerce. All you have to do is to promote and resell the products and services
in your site and pass on potential customer's the merchant's site.
In affiliate marketing, it is advisable to promote more merchants in your site so that
your visitors will have variety of destinations to choose from. Using multiple
merchants in the same site or niche means only one thing - you have multiple streams
of affiliate income. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this business strategy
because this is one of the best ways to protect your business and expanding your
horizons. Through this, you can be assured that you won't experience crisis if ever
one of your web merchants closed his/her program.
However, you should choose only those affiliate programs that interest you so that
you can effectively advertise and promote them. Don't ever be tempted into signing
up for numerous affiliate programs in the hope that one of them will bring income.
Select wisely and don't be engaged in selling products you know nothing about. Go
with the stuff that jives with your enthusiasm; your passion can capture your client by
the nose and guide him/her to your affiliate link.
You should also work hard to make your multiple streams of income more stable. You
can do this by embracing some strategies and tactics and by developing within
yourself, some traits that can help you become successful in any kind of business such
as patience, persistence and thirst for knowledge.
Lastly, just remember the adage that says "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." So
that if one of them is lost, you can still have some to make omelets. And what do
these eggs have to do with multiple streams of affiliate income? Well, it goes without
saying that the more streams of income you possess, the bigger and better your
money lake becomes.

Forex Discipline - Forex Trading Discipline

by Martin Lauder

Forex discipline is a vital ingredient in Forex Trading.
One of the most crucial elements that you have to overcome in your quest to become a success in the Forex market is your own fear of failure. The same can be said of any financial investment not just the Forex market. You have to go in believing that you are going to succeed because if you have any doubts, they will come to the surface and you will fail. We all want to succeed in what we do and it is this hunger for success that makes losing really terrifying.
When I say go in believing that you will be a success, I mean to say that you have to be confident but keep an element of wariness. Use due diligence and don't go in with all guns blazing. Whichever method you choose to use when starting investing in the Forex market, it is secondary to evolving a sound investment strategy that you are happy with, use and proceed with until you find out it is working or not.
You have to keep your Forex discipline and keep your emotions in check and don't veer from your strategy as soon as you have a minor setback. On the other side of the coin, one small success should not go to your head which could make you over confident and lead you to veer from your strategy and make a huge mistake. Stick to your plan and see it through one way or the other.
The Forex market has some strange emotional triggers. You have to keep your Forex discipline because remember, all that you are doing is trading one currency of a foreign nation with another currency of a foreign nation. Sometimes you will be trading with the currency of your own country and the last thing you want to do is caught up in clapping for your own country to win and this could affect your judgement by being patriotic.
Any investment takes a great deal of discipline and self control and Forex discipline should be mastered in the Forex market to see success.

How your emotions can mess up your psychology of forex trading

by Richard Porter

All sites that offer advice on succeeding in the Forex market. Will point out to you that the biggest enemy you face is not the market itself, but rather your own emotions. This is true in just about any activity that involves financial risk. It is really not all that different from playing a simple game of poker. If you start out being afraid of losing. Most likely you are going to lose. It is pretty much accepted that most human beings have an innate desire to prosper. This desire is what makes failure so damn frightening. Regardless of how you make you final decisions. Always proceed with confidence tempered with caution. Whether you use technical analysis or fundamental analysis or flip a coin. It really doesn't matter as much as developing your own investment strategy. Just proceed with it until you are sure it is working or failing. Do not take council of your fears, and bounce around with no pattern. Overreacting to every setback will never work. Nor should you grow overconfident and let a small temporary success lead you into foolishness. Remain constant and stick with your plan. The Forex market has some peculiar emotional landmines that you need to be aware of, and need to avoid. You are dealing with the currency of foreign countries and how they are going to be valued against the currency of other countries, one of which is your own country. It is important to keep things in perspective. If you find yourself rooting for the USA and booing Japan like they are your alma mater's football team and its biggest rival, then you should not be investing in this market, but saving for tickets to the next Olympic Games. Investment of any kind takes self control, and emotional stability, and Forex is no exception.

Organic Vs PPC Traffic - What Are the Pros and Cons?

by Steve Lazuka

People often ask us for advice on how much they should focus on pay-per-click traffic efforts, vs their natural, content-based search efforts. We always tell them that, while every site is unique, it usually makes sense to include both as part of a diversified marketing effort for your site.

PPC Traffic
We always recommend that if you're are buying pay-per-click (PPC) traffic and it's actually profitable for you, then by all means continue using it. There are many positive aspects of PPC, like immediate gratification, and total control. There are also a few drawbacks to PPC, however…

1. It's expensive if you want to be listed at the top where the traffic is
Most companies spend a majority of their PPC budget on traffic from search engines like Google, Yahoo, or MSN. These sites use an auction-based payment system for each keyword. In essence, this auction format guarantees that you will pay the absolute highest possible amount for each click.

2. Only 1/10th of the clicks go towards these results in the search engine results
Also, if you ever ask the average person how often they click on the right-hand sponsored results (I've asked this question to probably hundreds of people in the past few years), they'll tell you rarely. 80% to 90% of clicks occur on the left-hand, natural results.

Natural Traffic
Being listed at the top of the natural or "organic" search results is the "Holy Grail" for the average online business. Why? You get 8 to 10 times more traffic, and it's free!

These are some serious benefits.
Think about it. Do a search for office supplies, and you'll see OfficeMax, Staples, and OfficeDepot listed along the right in the sponsored results. (The big advertisers are often the ones listed at the top of the PPC results since they have the big budgets to afford paying the high rates.) However, notice that sites like www.biggestbook.com are listed along the left in the natural results. Talk about leveling the playing field! This obscure company that you've probably never heard of, is now taking 10 times more traffic than the big boys in the industry, and they're getting it for free.

So there's really no debate… for the average online business, being listed at the top of the organic search results is far superior to being listed at the top of the paid results. However, just like in real life, rarely does something that provides this much benefit come without a little hard work.

This brings us to the challenges with organic traffic:

1. Less control and predictability over your ranking
Unlike PPC, where money controls where you rank (for the most part), the natural search results are based on the quality of the content on your site, and how important the web community deems that content to be. In the short term, this can mean unpredictability when it comes to where you rank in the search results. The good news is, the longer you focus on great content and build your site into a true authority, the less these shifts in rank should affect you.

2. It takes time to develop your site into a true authority
PPC provides immediate results. Within a few minutes, you can hop in, bid higher than the top bidder, and within a matter of seconds, you're ranked #1 for your main term. Ranking at the top of the natural search results, however, will take some effort over time. Again, nothing that can provide such an incredible benefit like 10 times more traffic than PPC, for FREE, can be achieved overnight.

No Shortcuts to Long-Term Success
Online business owners are beginning to realize that, just like in real life, there's no shortcuts when it comes to building a business that will succeed in the long term. We'd all like instant gratification, and we'd like it for free! However, this just isn't how life works. Site owners have tried all the latest tricks to get their site ranked higher, and have either been penalized for them, or have gotten little to no results from them. They're beginning to understand that if they want the best result, they must invest just a little bit of resources to set themselves up for a future where they are not totally dependent on PPC traffic, with its continually rising prices.

The only way to do this is by investing some of their energies in high quality content. Studies have shown that, besides driving free search engine traffic, high quality content can increase visitor retention rates, increase repeat visitor rates, and increase the level of trust in your visitors.

In Conclusion
We never advise that people stop using PPC and move all their resources overnight into content development. PPC provides a level of control and predictability that is hard to find with organic search efforts in the short term.

However, as a long-term strategy, we definitely encourage everyone to spend a little bit of time and resources on developing content for their site on an on-going basis. After some time and resources invested in high quality content development, not only can you get 10 times more traffic than ppc for free, your visitors will also appreciate your efforts to provide them with such a great information resource. And will reward you with their business.

The Importance of Long Term Trading

by John Efetobor

Long term trading is a very effective and reliable strategy to adopt if you desire to create wealth via the capital market. Take a look at the investors that are living testimonies of the glowing legacies of the stock's market wealth; without fear of being contradicted are long term traders. Long term trading is a pattern of trading that allows an investor to invest in shares over a long period; during this period a lot of factors combine to enlarge the size of your investment or portfolio. In the course of this article, I will discuss some of these factors. But first; let's look at WHY long term trading is highly recommended if you want create lasting wealth from the stock market.
INFLATION: long term trading allows you to beat inflationary trends in the economy. Inflation diminishes the size of your savings in a bank over a period of time. Let's say you banked 10,000 in a bank and the bank gives you 5% interest at the end of the year; your savings would amount to 10,500. Inflation trends dangles between 8% - 12% within the year, imagine what that range of inflation would do to your savings over a period of 5 years. But if your invest that same money in a strong stock adopting long term trading, you are guaranteed returns ranging from 50% - 100% in a year from the forces of capital appreciation, dividends and bonus scrip over the period in discussion (5 years)
COMPOUND INTEREST: Compound interest is one of the most awesome wonders of investing. It is the process where the interest your invested capital earns in turn also begins to earn interest which is added to your capital and the process continues as long as it is allowed to continue. Compound interest only functions effectively around the atmosphere of long term trading. The power of compound interest is hidden in TIME.
DIVIDENDS AND BONUS SCRIP: As the months and years roll by; every unit of share you own in your portfolio is enlarged by the combined forces of dividends and bonus shares. Each unit of shares in your portfolio over time earns interest called earnings per share from the company you invested in. If the company's business performs well; additional free shares will be added to your portfolio. Long term trading allows you to enjoy the fruits dividends and bonus issues.
RISK REDUCTION: Long term trading reduces all risk associated with stock trading. Every seasoned stock trader knows you can't always beat the market. There are forces every stock trader has to contend with. Forces like price fluctuations, economic instability, bad news that cause stocks or investors to sometime overreact, liquidity, and other related forces that space will not allow me to include. All of theses forces can be corrected with long term trading unlike short term trading; long term trading gives you a balance. A balance that gives you peace of mind.

The Pros Of Value Investing

by John Efetobor
In my honest and assured opinion, value investing is one of the best things to have happened stock investing. At least; Benjamin Graham agrees with me. Ask Warren Buffet, I know his opinion will not be any different. If your portfolio is going to stand the test if time; I must implore you to look the way of value investing. Before I dig into the pros of value investing, let me attempt a concise explanation of the meaning of the value investing.
Let me give a list of definitions, perhaps you will be able to identify with the one that most appropriately conveys the meaning to you. = Value investing is when an investor invests in a company trading below its inherent worth.
= When an investor specializes in buying stocks that are grossly undervalued but have not lost their value.
= Value investors buy stocks whose profit potential is far higher than its present price; that way they are able to grow their portfolio to enviable heights over time.
= Value investing is the strategy of selecting stocks that trade for less than their intrinsic value.
= Value investors believe in buying a stock when the selling price is low and sell when it is high.
To be able to excel in value investing; there are certain sure fire tools you must familiarize yourself with; they are tried and tested tools that great value investors have used and are still using.
Top on the list…
The price to earning ratio: The value investor uses P/E ratio to quickly determine the worth of a stock relative to how much a company is earning. The value investor believes the lower the ratio (less than 10) the better the deal.
Strong fundamentals: The value investor believes that for a company to a real bargain, the company must have fundamentals strong and healthy enough to imply that it is worth more than its selling price. The value investor views very strongly current price in comparison to intrinsic value and not to historic price.
Current assets vs. liability: The value investor weighs the size of the current assets over the liability of a company. The value investor is excited when he sees a company whose current asset is twice of current liabilities.
Earnings growth: Value investor believes earnings growth of a company should be al least from 7% - 10% per annum compounded over the last 5 - 10 years.
Earnings per share: The value investor considers EPS as a vital tool that helps estimate the value of a share in comparison ton the selling price. The higher earnings per share; the better the deal.
Why do value investors love value investing?
1. It reduces risk: risk of a share underperforming is greatly reduced because of "guarantee indexes" explained above.
2. Profit possibilities is great and guaranteed
3. The power of compound interest
4. Getting stocks at discounted price.

How Do You Choose Which Forex Trading Software

by Craig Summer

How do you decide which forex trading software to invest in when there are so many to choose from? Whether you have been trading on forex for some time or are just deciding to start, there is no doubt that a forex trading program can be a great help in ensuring that you profit from your investments.

The forex market, unlike other markets is a 24-hour trading market It is also the largest market with 2.5 trillion dollars a day traded, 100 times bigger than the NASDAQ. Trading on the markets is becoming increasingly popular for the small investor, and the forex market is readily accessible for the home trader.

Home forex traders are able to trade with very modest investments and benefit from the fact that their investment is effectively multiplied by 100 when trading, enhancing profitability while safeguarding the potential risk to only that of the investment. However the foreign currency markets are extremely complex by their very nature and human traders are prone to emotional responses to emerging trends, especially when it is their money that is gaining or losing value.

Forex trading programs answer these issues in a number of ways. They use sophisticated algorithms to analyse complex patterns and are designed to anticipate longer-term trends within the market. They do this using historical data to predict future trends. These programs can also carry out these complex calculations far faster than even a team of highly trained humans and can easily gather together masses of information and monitor the markets 24 hours a day.

Considering the potential gains to be made from an effective forex trading strategy, Forex programs represent a very small investment. In addition to the ability to conduct complex trading with the knowledge that risks of major losses are safeguarded, there are other benefits for the newer forex investor.

Good Forex trading software will allow new investors to gain an increased understanding of how the foreign currency exchange market works. You can also learn how to invest in the market using both historical data and in real time without requiring an investment. You only have to make a financial investment when you are ready. And, when you do start investing your own money you know that the trade will be conducted without danger of emotional response, so that shorter term trend reversals will not result in a premature withdrawal from the trade.

But how do you decide which forex robot to invest in? The fact is they all have similar features, and use the same basic algorithms in order to make their predictions. Choosing the right one for you is probably down to instinct. Look out for a money back satisfaction guarantee. That will make your decision to invest in this software much easier.

In these hard financial times, many people are looking at ways to augment their income. Developing multiple and sustainable income streams is an excellent way to protect ourselves from these unstable and turbulent financial times. For some, a bit of time and money invested in researching this exciting and lucrative market could help to secure the future financially.

Internet Stock Trading-Easy to earn and lose money

by Clint Jhonson

It must be understood clearly that an individual must acquire a proper education and information about Internet stock trading and day trading, as failure to do this almost guarantees financial loss and failure. An individual needs to plan an effective strategy for trading, which in itself is an important and first step, and to make a plan or strategy, a thorough and in-depth knowledge of stocks, stock market functioning, jargon, and current stock market trends is a must. Almost all experts and experienced professionals in the investments field advise new comers to start working with a stockbroking firm, which has a website, for a year or more, to learn and get their feet wet and a feel for the stock trading business. In this learning period, an individual can learn all about day trading in Rolling Stocks, penny stocks, small caps, etc. Many of these small firms offer good advice and guide the individual to learn the industry and learn and discover trading skills.
There are many books that are available and can be ordered from web-based stock trading companies that will help an individual understand the stock markets. If an individual searches online on the Internet, they will find a multitude of articles and websites that provide practical advice and guidance for Internet Stock trading. Many investment companies offer email newsletter or publications, to inform members of current market trends and the publications and newsletters also offer ongoing stock tips and training. As a beginner in stock trading, an individual can join an affiliation or sign up with these investment companies for their publications and newsletters, as this is an excellent way to acquire valuable information and get support.
With Internet Stock trading, there can sometimes be a problem with slow transactions. There may also be technological problems and Internet connection speeds that prevent or hinder information from moving swiftly and completion of transactions. Internet service providers may shut down, or have problems, which slow the ability of an individual to complete a transaction to buy or sell. Investors and traders should find a trading firm that offers an alternative to this issue and provides other trading options, either by phone or fax to place an order or trade. Newcomers to online trading should first learn about the stocks to trade in. Some experienced traders only concentrate on a particular category of stocks like Rolling stocks, while others concentrate on Penny stocks or small caps. Rolling stocks are those that stocks whose price range fluctuates between a high and low price, in a matter of hours, days, or weeks. While some traders prefer to buy and sell small cap stocks, which have a small market capitalization.
With Internet Stock trading, whether for trading or investing, an individual must ensure that orders or cancellations are communicated clearly. A day trader or investor must stay alert and check all trades, as this is crucial with online trading. The investor and beginner day trader needs to know all about the stock they are buying or selling, be familiar with its high and low price range and fluctuations, and should have follow-up and contingency procedures, just in case there are communication problems with online trading.

When Is The Best Time To Invest In Property?

by Jason Sands


The present evaluation of land property is as priceless as buying gold. So, before you decide purchasing one of them, be aware of its changing prices. Since the real estate markets are mostly on a high, going ahead with your property purchasing deals without any hesitation will definitely be fruitful. But certain investment related factors have to be taken into consideration without any delay. Keeping in mind your expenditure plan, purchase your dream property before the value depreciates. Well, buying immediately also leaves you with an option of selling the same at a more lucrative price, which will surely fetch you enormous profit in the near future.

If you do not possess an unrealistic view of the real estate market, you might be aware of the fact that like the much hyped bull market; real estate markets have also seen considerable fluctuations. But purchasing real estate at the correct time is also very essential. It is widely recommended that when the market is going through a period of depression, buying of property can prove to be a profitable long-term investment. However, everything said and done, a thorough knowledge about these markets will always be beneficial for a successful property deal. While you strike a deal, remember three important things. Firstly, consult an agent who has a wide knowledge of the market situation. This will help you in advance planning, of any extra expenses to be incurred during the entire procedure. Secondly, you should also be aware of the credible property investment ventures. The markets these days are full of fraud home deals. Be aware of such transactions that mislead. Finally, play out all your financing options. The first thing you should put into consideration in this regards, is its safe management. Find reliable agents or organizations that can guide you through this entire course of action.

One would only like to invest their hard earned money guided by expert opinion, in this case the real estate investment professionals. Therefore, until you have cleared all your doubts regarding the deal, do not sit satisfied with only the information your agent has provided you with. Many opt to use the abundance of information in blogs, corporate handouts, television commercials or shows, book shops etc. In fact, many property management experts feel that the real estate market is no different to stock markets. The contemporary times are the best suited for real-estate investments. Moreover, you can also get exclusive tax benefits and other such financial advantages if you are able to complete a deal within a set time period.

In reality this whole procedure is not bound by time anyways. If you wish to adopt the same strategy of investment like the ones implemented at the stocks, you are free to do so. In this case it is advisable to put in money for trusts or mutual funds. Well, as the punch line says "do read the offer documents carefully before investing". This is a piece of expert advice will see your property deal sail through without much difficulty.

How to Make Money Currency Trading

by Eric Jacobson

There are so many resources out there, both online and offline to begin your research on trading and making money, I couldn't list all of them here. You can find seminars, articles, workshops, video tutorials, and books on the topic of how to make money currency trading.
If you decide to go with a broker, it's wise to consider all the various brokers' systems available to you before making your choice.

A well designed trading system will reduce your work dramatically. This in turn gives you time to focus on studying the market and plotting your strategy.

If you're like me however, there never seems to be enough time in the day between my family obligations and work to put in the serious study it takes to master the Forex market.

It is a pretty steep learning curve, and it can be pretty daunting at first for someone just learning how to trade.

There is one more way to make money currency trading. It's probably the best bet for beginners and those of us who are pressed for time. The process is an auto-trading system, generally called a Forex Robot.

There are many of these Forex Robots out there, but they aren't all created equal. Many of these so called automated systems are nothing more than scams.

In my last article, we took a look at the potential profitability of trading with a Forex Robot. We also discussed that that there are many Forex Robots that are downright scams. In other words, all Forex Robots are not created equal.

I recently had a friend call me who had been trading on the currency market for some time, and was making some pretty good money trading Forex the traditional way. He excitedly told me that he had recently found a Forex Robot that was recommended by a fellow trader.

He went on to tell me that although he was skeptical of these automated Forex Robot systems, and believed like I did that most of them were scams, he decided to give it a try. The results were nothing short of phenomenal.

After setting the system up, he invested $ 350.00 I also tried it and found that the robot was choosing about 95.5% winners and I too more than doubled my money.

Before you invest in any of theses products however, make sure you find out what the risk/reward profile is with the trading software you are looking at.

As an example, some of these software products come with risk/reward ratios of 2:1, while some even have a risk/reward ratio as high as 35:1.These ratios are not acceptable, and you need to look elsewhere, otherwise you'll lose all your trading funds pretty quickly.

Any automated trading software that comes with more than a 1:1 risk should be avoided like the plague.

I want to emphasize that there are great Forex expert advisors and trading Robots that can make you good money, but you need to know how to recognize them.

It has been conclusively proven that automated products which adopt strict and professionally set guidelines and that will never allow you more than a 1:1 run, reduce the risk of destroying your trading account.

Did you know that there are average people out there making between $3500.00 to $4000.00 per month trading in the Forex market? How are they doing it? Find out how a powerful and "smart" Forex Robot is creating life-changing incomes for many people who have never traded the Currency market before.
