An effective wealth management strategy is essential to any individual wanting to maintain and grow their <b>wealth</b>/earnings effectively. This article will review a few different popular wealth management strategies.<br /><br />Whether you have been diligently earning your money by investing in the <b>Canadian Stock Market</b>, or even if you simply inherited the money, you must constantly be in pursuit of the best wealth management strategies to ensure that your dollars are being put to best use. How you invest your money now will determine how much, if any, money you will have in the future.<br /><br />Hiring a <b>wealth management</b> company can be a good choice for individuals who do not want to become too involved in the process. A wealth management company can help an individual to balance his/her books, spend his/her money more wisely, invest his/her money intelligently, and ensure that “the well” does not “run dry” at any point during that person's lifetime.<br /><br />It is okay if you do not understand how to manage wealth; most people don’t understand how to manage wealth-- it is a skill that is not needed until wealth has actually been accumulated in some quantity. With so many investment options, it is no wonder that many individual's feel lost in such discussions. Investment options such as bonds, Mining Stocks, 529’s, and 401k’s all present different sets of rules, regulations, schedules, and benefits. If you do not understand these different investment options and the stipulations attached to each, hiring a wealth management company may be a good option.<br /><br />Private wealth management companies that offer services such as these are considered private bankers and money managers. They offer many of the same features that a traditional bank offers, except that you are not obligated to place your money in any particular bank.<br /><br />If you do choose to keep your money in a bank, you will be able to seek the help of an account manager. This account manager will work directly with you to answer any questions you may have, and will help you manage your account successfully. Account managers can also educate and guide you in investing your money more effectively.<br /><br /><b>Wealth management</b> software can be a good idea if you want to have more control over your finances while executing your wealth management strategy. This software can assist you in creating a financial plan that will allow you to live comfortably in your current lifestyle, and at the same time allow you to plan for the future depending on your end-game goals.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">By: Jennifer Nobles<br />ABOUT THE AUTHOR<br /><br />This article was written by Jennifer Nobles.

Where is your wealth today and where is your wealth going?<br /><br />Where is Your <b>Wealth</b>?<br /><br />I have been speaking at several seminars lately on the topic of building permanent wealth. One of my favorite things about speaking at seminars is talking with the participants one-on-one. In just the past few weeks I've met hundreds of people with diverse backgrounds, various educations and different professions. All of them wanted to know how to build permanent wealth. And much like those of you I heard from last week, they wanted to know exactly what they needed to do.<br /><br />Whenever someone asks me what to do to build permanent wealth, I answer that question with a question: Where is your wealth? Where is your wealth today and where is your wealth going?<br /><br />In other words, where are you today in terms of how much you own versus how much you owe? And, where do you want your wealth to be?<br /><br />Take a few seconds to think about your answer.<br /><br />- The Answers -<br /><br />It is very rare that any one answers my question with absolute certainty. Here are the answers I typically receive:<br /><br />Most popular: "I have no idea"<br /><br />Close second: "Oh, somewhere around....ummmmm....about...$X and I want it to be X times that"<br /><br />Funniest: "I keep wondering the same thing! Where is my <b>wealth</b>? I work and work and work, make great money, but I have nothing to show for it! Where is it going?"<br /><br />At first, it's easy to conclude that these people must just not care about their wealth because they have no idea where they are today or where they want to be with their wealth. But the people I spoke with recently are people attending seminars specifically to learn more about building wealth, so obviously they care. So then why don't they know the answer to this question?<br /><br />I've concluded that most people don't know the answer because they don't know how to get started on building their wealth. I'm learning that this is a common place for people to be.<br /><br />The traditional route to getting started has been to meet with a financial planner and find out when you can retire based on a certain amount of savings each month.<br /><br />My approach to <b>wealth strategies</b> is the same approach I use when I create tax strategies. In fact, the two are intertwined. A successful tax strategy will produce tax savings and then leverage those tax savings by integrating them into a wealth strategy. This is a great way to supercharge a wealth strategy! But my approach with both always begins with (1) Where do you want to be? and (2) Where are you today? If this sounds similar to traditional financial planning, it's not.<br /><br />Simple But Not Easy<br /><br />This concept of starting with where you want to be and where you are today is a simple concept to understand. But, it's not always easy to do.<br /><br />It's very similar to a fitness program. When I started my fitness program, I needed to establish where I was when I started and where I wanted to be. This was a simple concept for me to understand. But, when I went to execute it, I found it wasn't so easy. I knew what my weight was and where I wanted it to be, but what else was there? At the time I started, I didn't know what else there was, but since then, I've learned many other ways to measure these two points in time - body fat, key body measurements, specific goals, like completing a triathlon in a certain amount of time by a certain age. Now I can create a list that goes on and on but that wasn't' the case when I first started.<br /><br />When determining where you are with your <b>wealth</b>, there are financial calculations that need to be done, soul searching to be done to determine what you really want and, of course, the time to actually sit down and do it! All of these are not necessarily easy to do. But the good news is that they are not impossible to do, it just requires time (and it doesn't have to be a huge amount of time), effort and focus.<br /><br />So, Where Is Your Wealth?<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">By: Tom Wheelwright<br />ABOUT THE AUTHOR<br /><br />Tom Wheelwright is not only the founder and CEO of Provision, but he is the creative force behind Provision Wealth Strategists.

Although most people don’t bother to learn about wealth management until later in their life, it is a vital skill that should be taken into consideration by any individual that has accumulated some form of wealth. This article will describe why wealth management is important, and will offer some ideas on different places that you can invest your money confidently as a part of your own personal wealth management strategy.<br /><br /><b>Wealth management</b> is the process of investing your wealth and planning out a strategy so that your money “works” for you, ensuring that you will continue to be comfortable financially throughout your lifetime. Wealth management does not only imply that you are focused on saving money in the present; it also means taking that money and investing it into financial vehicles to make even more money (aka having your money “work” for you). People who practice a proper wealth management strategy will fair better financially throughout the course of their lifetime in comparison to individuals who do not follow a strategy.<br /><br />If you’re entirely new to <b>investing</b>, it is best to consult with a financial advisor that can help you in planning your wealth management strategy. Don’t ever invest your money blindly; it is important that you know how to invest, how much to invest, and when to invest.<br /><br />If you are ready to start your own wealth management strategy and have money to invest, you are probably wondering where you should invest your money. Here are two good places to invest your money that many smart investors are cashing in on in today’s financial markets:<br /><br />1. Canadian <b>Stock Market</b> – Investors love to get involved in the stock market because they can use their own personal knowledge to help give them an edge in predicting smart investments. With the stock market, there is a diverse array of stocks that investors are able to choose from. Because Canada has maintained a stable business environment, the Canadian stock market is especially attractive to investors.<br /><br />2. Mining <b>Stocks</b> – There are all sorts of mining stocks that investors are currently investing in. From gold and silver stocks, to uranium and even coal stocks, investors seeking an attractive return without too much risk are increasingly buying into a variety of mining stocks.<br /><br /><b>Wealth</b> management is a skill that should be learned and practiced from the moment an individual begins to generate a healthy income. It involves much patience, skill, and financial knowledge, to know how to make your money grow, and it is also important to have an understanding of which investments are wisest for you invest in before entering into your own wealth management strategy.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">By: Jennifer Nobles<br />ABOUT THE AUTHOR<br /><br />This article was written by Jennifer Nobles.

With this, more casual and part time investors were born, it basically carved out a market due to its ease of access and has increased the viability of many commodities that seemed to be only the arena of the experienced investor.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Online stock trading</span> is a great way to start your portfolio and make some modest sums for a start, with financial independence in the long run of course. But you need to understand certain principles and aspects of the market before you decide to actually dive in and invest.<br /><br />Stock trading online is a tricky business and it requires your utmost attention when you are buying and selling. This article will discuss some of the things you need to know to make your day at the market all the more fruitful.<br /><br />One thing you must understand is that you need to have an intimate knowledge of the market and of course, the commodity that you are planning to invest in. Many investors make the same mistake of not getting to know what they are putting their money in. Find out exactly what you are getting yourself into, and with an adequate knowledge on the commodity and all its foibles, you will be able to draw up a strategy based on inside information and industry analysis.<br /><br />Another thing you must have close to you is aspects of technical and fundamental analysis; important information that you need to have when you are thinking about investing. Using the tools of the market and external factors that may have a part in influencing the price of your commodity, the direction that I might be going to and how the market might evolve in the future.<br /><br />The last thing that you must have is crucial money management, which is the downfall of many an investor. Knowing how much of a margin you can risk, having risk capital and assessing all expenditures during the course of your investments is very important. It will help you to plot out your investment journey, how much you are spending and how much you should be getting back.<br /><br />It will also give you the power to micro manage your entire strategy, to assess it and even revamp it if the returns are not satisfactory. With these things in mind, you will be able to make online stock trading a much more viable enterprise that you can depend on fort either a primary or secondary income stream.<br /><br />Risk is always a factor and the name of the game is to lessen the margin of risk by as much as possible and ensure your strategy is air tight. Of course there are many more things to learn and to understand before you can fully take on the stock market trading onlinet.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" ><br />About The Author<br />John H.

Stocks outperform other investments since they incur more risk. Stock investors are at the bottom of the corporate "food chain." First, companies have to pay their employees and suppliers.<br /><br />Then they pay their bondholders. After this come the preferred shareholders. Companies have an obligation to pay all these stakeholders first, and if there is money leftover it is paid to the stockholders through dividends or retained earnings. Sometimes there is a lot of money left over for stockholders, and in other cases there isn't. Thus, investing in stocks is risky because investors never know exactly what they are going to receive for their investment.<br /><br />What are the attractions of blue chip stocks?<br />1. Great long-term rates of return.<br /><br />2. Unlike mutual funds, another relatively safe, long term investment category, there are no ongoing fees.<br /><br />3. You become a owner of a company.<br /><br />So much for the benefits - what about the risks? 1. Some investors can't tolerate both the risk associated with investing in the stock market and the risk associated with investing in one company. Not all blue chips are created equal.<br /><br />2. If you don't have the time and skill to identify a good quality company at a fair price don't invest directly. Rather, you should consider a good mutual fund.<br /><br />Selecting a blue chip company is only part of the battle - determining the appropriate price is the other. Theoretically, the value of a stock is the present value of all future cash flows discounted at the appropriate discount rate. However, like most theoretical answers, this doesn't fully explain reality.<br /><br />In reality supply and demand for a stock sets the stock's daily price, and demand for a stock will increase or decrease depending of the outlook for a company. Thus, stock prices are driven by investor expectations for a company, the more favorable the expectations the better the stock price.<br /><br />In short, the stock market is a voting machine and much of the time it is voting based on investors' fear or greed, not on their rational assessments of value. Stock prices can swing widely in the short-term but they eventually converge to their intrinsic value over the long-term.<br /><br />Investors should look at good companies with great expectations that are not yet embedded in the price of a stock.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" >About The Author<br />http://www.OnlineTradingCoach.com Free Master Trader Presentations show you how to turn $10,000 into $100,000 through honest and simple trading methods you can use beginning today.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871787268829410323.post-87267052970972524382011-04-01T10:02:00.000-07:002011-04-01T10:02:00.264-07:00Could Online Stock Trading Be Your Answer to Earn Quick Income?What is <span style="font-weight: bold;">online stock trading</span>? This requires you to sign up with a reputed company dealing in buying and selling of stocks online. Once you create an account with them, a login id and password will be provided to you whereby you can actively participate in day to day stock market trade just by sitting within the confines of your own home.<br /><br />Your earnings from the trade will be credited to the bank account you've specified, of course minus commission to the trading company. Your initial investment is very little.<br /><br />Before you start off, you can enroll for a trading course which can also be done online. Some sites even give you the opportunity to indulge in mock trades to test your knowledge. Expert traders on the other hand find it convenient to deal in futures and options, forex from all over the world etc at just the click of a finger.<br /><br />What are some of the important points to be kept in mind while taking up online stock trading as a full time occupation?<br /><br /> * Tread carefully while you trade because there could be a lot of money involved and a rash step could land you in a lot of hot water!<br /><br /> * As beginners, it is always better to deal in known stock options rather than take risks with attractive unknown companies.<br /><br /> * Keep long term earnings in view and learn to take failures in stride. Your game plan should include recovery efforts from pitfalls.<br /><br /> * Research a lot on various types of stocks and gather up to date information on the factors influencing the nature of the stock market like economic, financial and political conditions prevailing in your country.<br /><br /> * As a final word, never stake your entire lifetime's earnings on this line.<br /><br />Stick to a preconceived plan or strategy and never look upon online stock trading as a medium of gambling.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" >By: Casey Trillbar<br />Are you ready to start making some money?

Here is a guide that will help you in focusing exactly what you should look out before you take the decision to open stock trading account in India.<br /><br />1. Account opening charges and documentation<br /><br />Find out what are the one-time charges for opening a trading account and a DEMAT account. Make sure that you can fulfill the documentation part, that is, you have the PAN card and address proof. Besides, you have to sign couple of legal documents such as broker-client agreements and POA (Power of Attorneys), which mandate court stamp fees. Therefore, ask your broker what are the extra charges (if any) for the documentation.<br /><br />2. Charges - Brokerage, DEMAT and other statutory charges<br /><br />Ask for detailed information about brokerage charges for intra-day, delivery, future and options transactions. Nowadays, with fierce competition, you could easily negotiate brokerage charges. For Day Trading, and Future and Options, you could easily fetch brokerage @ 0.005 to 0.05% and for Delivery Transactions, the brokerage rates vary from 0.2 to 0.5% depending upon the volume of transactions.<br /><br />Check out the minimum brokerage amount payable by you and the details of statutory charges such as ST (service tax), STT (Securities Transaction tax), Turnover Tax, Stamp Duty and Exchange Transaction Charges. Find out what are the various types of charges for DEMAT account, which include Annual Folio Maintenance charges and transaction charges. You must be aware about all these charges because it adds substantially to your expense side and hence can reduce your profits.<br /><br />3. Margin System<br /><br />Many brokers allow you to take exposure in the markets for day trading just by paying a small amount, called as margin money. Depending upon the broker, you can get exposure from four to six times the margin amount. Some of the online stock brokers also give you a facility to trade against your shares, which are lying in your DEMAT account opened with them.<br /><br />4. Online Trading Platform<br /><br />Nowadays, online stock trading has become very common and popular. However, there are different methods of online trading, ranging from simple web-based applications to high-end online stock trading platforms. Most of the brokers allow you free online trading with their web-based applications but they may charge you software license fee, (monthly or one-time) for allowing you to trade through their state-of-the-art online trading platforms. If you opt for online trading software, you should ask for a demo of online stock trading system.<br /><br />You might as well request the broker to give you dummy trading id and password for few days to get an idea about various features and tools of the online trading software. Some of the latest online trading platforms provide you multiple market watch, market depth, list of top gainers/losers, list high volume scrips, real-time charts and many other analytical tools and calculators.<br /><br />5. Funds and Securities Pay In and Pay Out System<br /><br />Make sure that the broker has a completely online back office, which is essential for monitoring your funds and stocks and for checking the historical reports about your transactions. Look out for the brokers that provide the facility of real-time funds transfer and online funds withdrawal. Check out if the broker has tie-up with your bank so that it becomes easier for you to manage your funds.<br /><br />6. Contract Notes<br /><br />SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) has made it mandatory to issue contract notes in the specified formats. Find out how your broker will provide you the contract notes. Most of the online brokers provide ECN (Electronic Contract Notes) free of charges; however, many brokers will levy some charges for delivering physical copies of contract notes.<br /><br />In the End:<br /><br />Apart from all the above factors, find out the reputation and trustworthiness of brokers from the actual users through online forums where you can learn about broker reviews.

Did you also hear that 80% of them started with nothing? All of a sudden stock trading may seem like the way to go and you're raring to understand what you need to embark on this riveting journey.<br /><br />As you've learnt by now, with high rewards also comes high risk, but it's starting to strangely unsettle you to hear about studies showing that the number of millionaires in the world are hitting new records. All you want to know is, "what do they know about the stock market that I don't?"<br /><br />With <span style="font-weight: bold;">online stock trading</span> a finger-click away, there is nothing stopping you now. You want a piece of the pie, or at least, to make a reasonable profit befitting a reasonable man. It's not quite the same as playing lotto, with fingers and legs crossed, a silent prayer to boot.<br /><br />But firstly let me dispel an illusion; on most occasions stock market millionaires don't pop up by making a big win on a lucky draw. No, the stock market is not the same as gambling. It's become obvious to you by now that quite a bit of strategy is involved.<br /><br />So finally it comes down to this; "how much research and study do I need to do to know where to invest? To know when to buy and when to sell?" Well there are 101 websites that promise to tell you that. Some actually mean what they say, and others say what they mean. It can get a little daunting, so let me break it down;<br /><br />1. Attitude is everything. Isn't that where most people go wrong? Let me put this another way; you already know how 98% of millionaires increased their wealth. But how many of the total US population are millionaires? Out of just over 300 million, the 2009 estimate was 7.9 million millionaires. That's 0.025% people with the right "millionaire mind." All of a sudden 98% takes on a whole new perspective, doesn't it?<br /><br />Actually, let's not go to point 2. There's lots more to say on attitude, because that's really what's going to decide it for you. Your attitude decides your dedication, your adaptability, your approach, your ability to make contacts, to draw people who feel compelled to help you. It even decides how well you follow your instincts, how astutely you keep your greed from clouding your judgment, and how brilliantly you use your research. Now let that not dissuade from the key element; the number of millionaires are growing! And you certainly can have a piece of the pie.<br /><br />Why is attitude everything? In the stock market; timing is everything! It requires an alertness; the frame of mind that helps you understand how to best use the information of rising and falling trends. Because, reality check here - most people fail on the stock market. And nothing is going to help you more than having an intimate understanding of the alertness with which a millionaire invests.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" >By: Devon Knight<br />Devon Knight is the author of the http://www.bulletproofshield.com/safes blog and provides in depth details on choosing the best online stock trading check out the blog for reviews and money saving coupons.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871787268829410323.post-24656841282812925912011-01-16T09:44:00.000-08:002011-01-16T09:44:00.399-08:00How to Start Investing in Online Stock TradingMany people have heard about <span style="font-weight: bold;">online stock trading</span> and how some people have earned extra money from it.

Your broker will now have to make deals and arrangements for the price and other options that may come along with it. It may take a little time before you are notified from your broker about a deal or pricing agreements. If you agree with the price and decide to buy or sell a particular stock, you, have to tell your stockbroker about it for another call to order to finalize the transaction.<br /><br />On the other hand, online stock trading does not take longer than its classic mode.

This means that the stock broker who acted as the middleman in the stock market trading process is more or less absent thus leaving the investor to navigate alone. More and more people are increasingly looking for the best <span style="font-weight: bold;">online stock trading</span> options due to various reasons the most immediate being that this is a great stream of income flow.<br /><br />The growing popularity of stay-at-home jobs has made online stock trading a feasible option for making money from the comfort of the home. Additionally, the costs that were incurred in hiring the services of a stock broker are also substantially eliminated..<br /><br />These benefits can be enjoyed fully when investors choose the right online stock trading platform. As much as there are so many companies that broker trading options there are also many trading companies that offer accounts that enable one to trade in stocks. Although these companies have the same objective in mind they differ from each other substantially.<br /><br />The first consideration to make when choosing the best online stock trading company is the reputation of this company. There are several ways that you can ensure that a company is most capable of handling your money. Use online portals that rank the popularity and legitimacy of the company. It is also good to inquire from fellow investors about the companies that they are using to trade their stocks online.<br /><br />The best online stock trading company is the one that offers relatively low commission costs for an account. Remember that the whole idea of embarking in online trading is that it is cheaper; it eliminates the stock broker commission costs.<br /><br />Trading companies have their way of making money from the online business, and one of those is through the interest rates that are generated by your account balance. However, it is important to note that the online trading firms that have bigger well established brand names may have higher commission costs than their counterparts.<br /><br />Online stock trading is both simple and complex depending on the navigation tools that a company issues its traders. There are many software programs and solutions, and it can be quite difficult to use the tools in some of these sites. Choose the best online stock trading company that will allow you to use their website in an easy and functional way. Unless you are savvy about internet technology, avoid the trading platforms that are too complex. Simplicity is always best.<br /><br />Finally a good stock trading company is one that hosts a myriad of companies whose stock shares the trader can buy and sell. See that you are not restricted in the options of stocks that you can trade on, after all this is the advantage of online trading- it lets you expand your scope to maximize your return.<br /><br />It is important to educate yourself upfront before you begin to trade stock online.

Follow them ProperlyTrading in stocks is becoming very popular and more and more people are getting into <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">online stock trading</span>. Stock trading involves buying and selling stocks in the stock market. Here you try to buy stocks at low price and sell them at high prices later on and retain the profits. But to be successful in this market, you need to adopt certain online stock trading strategies.<br /><br />Stock markets are run and governed by various factors. Religious, political, financial, and social factors immensely influence which way the stock market will go. The mercurial nature of these markets warrants that you exhibit patience and carefulness. Never be in a hurry to get rich in one day. That will be like living in a fool's paradise.<br /><br />Always buy stocks of reputed blue chip companies who have great standing in the market and have very strong track records. Don't get duped by fly-by-night companies that enter the market on a regular basis to deceive unsuspecting traders and run away with their hard earned money.<br /><br />The Internet has made online stock trading a lot easier and convenient. A click of a mouse button can help you buy stocks that you are interested in or sell the ones that you think can give you profits. One of the most important online stock trading strategies is to hire a broker that is reputed and trustworthy. Always check his or her background and track record. Check how long he or she has been associated with the stock market and whether he or she has made any defaults in the market.<br /><br />If online stock trading strategies are followed properly, then you can derive huge benefits from them. Among various online stock trading strategies, one strategy that standouts is to hedge your position when trading online. Hedging is a kind of insurance against negative sentiments of the market. Hedging is used to mitigate stock market risks by strategically dealing in financial instruments to set off the losses that may incur due to any unexpected price movement.<br /><br />As part of online stock trading strategies, you should show patience and discipline while dealing in stocks online. That is one of the most basic online stock trading strategies.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">By : David Jose<br />This article written by David Jose is on online stock trading strategies.

If you have what it takes to be become an expert in stock trading, then this is your field.<br /><br />Active and Passive Profiting in the Stock Market<br /><br />The passive way of profiting in the virtual stock trading industry would be if you own stocks or, should we say, the company to which the stocks belong. However, while you will still profit this way, you wouldn’t be earning as much as when you are in the business as an active stock trader.<br /><br />An active stock trader buys and sells at the same time. Knowing when to purchase stocks and the right time to put them back into the market is the main skill in this business. This way, you get to profit more. You get financial yields in a very short span of time.<br /><br />Definition of Common Stocks and Preferred Stocks<br /><br />In the stock trading market, stocks are categorized in two. There is the common stock which is the stock that you often see being sold and bought during stock trading. These are stocks that companies are willing to let go. Common stock holders have the privilege of voting during the companies’ board meetings as well as other activities that need voting. Aside from the voting rights, common stock holders are second only to preferred stock holders.<br /><br />A preferred stock on the other hand – as the name emphasizes – holds the ace in a company. If you own a preferred stock in a company, you have higher privileges than others. Although you have no voting rights during elections or appointments, your shares speak of higher influence. You also have priority label along with your shares.<br /><br />You only have to weigh the possibilities and the opportunities between the two kinds of stocks and see which will give you greater profit.<br /><br />Profit and Loss in Stock Trading<br /><br />Just like any other kind of business anywhere, there is always the possibility of losing and gaining in the business of trading stocks. This is a risk that one cannot eliminate. Even in our life’s day-to-day activities, facing risks and the possibilities of winning are always there. It is all a part of life. However, the risk of losing is greatly minimized if one is wise and exercises great acumen in the conduct of business endeavors.<br /><br />In stock trading, the reliability of the economy to retain its stability is not guaranteed. Even if there are predictions from economists, there are always unexpected events that could cause havoc to stock market trading.<br /><br />Evaluating the profit and loss of stocks on hand or the stocks you intend to buy or sell is the wisest move to make. Just like doing mathematical calculations, computing the rate of loss against possible profit is the key to making a wise decision. In stock, trading you cannot just rely on your guts and intuition. A logical and sharp mind is always the best instrument to ensure profitable deals.<br /><br />A solid example of this profit and loss business is when you own stocks. There are stocks that you can keep for as long as you like, if you don’t feel like selling them at present value. But there are too many risks involved in retaining stocks. One possibility would be if the market suddenly plummets and the company suffers great loss in which it can no longer recover. In this scenario, your investment will surely go down the drain. On the other extreme, if that company recovers in due time, then your stocks will no doubt return great profit for you. Please bear in mind that if you are faint of heart and you panic at the first sign of trouble, stock trading is not for you.<br /><br /><br /><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">By - Sherlin Priya<br />Provides complete guide for online stock trading - http://stockstotrade.com/ .Learn the basics to trade your stocks,its types,risks taken,technical analysis of US stock market and individual stock trends.</span></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871787268829410323.post-7129056478229143862009-11-24T03:03:00.000-08:002009-11-24T03:03:00.284-08:00Stock Market For DummiesThe <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">stock market</span> for dummies is a form of explanation that even the least able members of any community can easily understand. That is what this article is about, a simple explanation of how the stock market works.<br /><br />Stocks, securities and derivatives - not the kind of thing you may be familiar with, but these are the things that populate the stock market. My first stock market for dummies revelation is that the stock market is simply a vehicle that lets you trade stocks, securities and derivatives.<br /><br />Trading in the stock market involves money of course. It's a lot of money and current estimates place the value of the stock market at somewhere in the region of 51 trillion US dollars. That's a massive amount of money! All you have to do is get a little bit of it in your pocket.<br /><br />The second thing that this stock market for dummies lesson tells you is that the stock market is truly international; it operates in nearly every country in the world. However, within each country there are individual stock exchanges. You may be familiar with some of the names: Nasdaq, S&P, FTSE, NYSE, Euronext, and many more.<br /><br />These stock exchanges operate for the convenience of traders who trade their stock and securities in whatever way they think is best. They examine company performance and seek out the latest news to see what might affect their decisions. They watch the stock rise and fall and always try to do whatever it takes to remain in profit.<br /><br />A stock is a little bit of a company. It's not a very big bit, and if you want to have control of a company, you need to buy lots and lots of stock so that you have more than 50% of the existing stock usually.<br /><br />Stocks are issued by companies to raise capital. A stock issue is normally limited to a predetermined number of shares at a given value. The stock market then adjusts that value according to what the financial health of the company appears to be. Other factors such as the company's potential for continued growth also affect the stock value, raising it or lowering it, depending on the particular situation.<br /><br />People invest their money and buy stocks because they feel that the company will expand and grow and become more valuable. Through this process the stock they hold will also grow in value, thereby making them a profit. It is a lot more complicated than that of course, but for this stock market for dummies article, that's enough information to illustrate how the basic system works.<br /><br />Owning stocks gives you the right to take part in the company decisions, though at what level can depend on how much stock you own. For each share you own you have one single vote. When important matters arise, the company may ask stockholders to vote on a particular matter to form a majority decision.<br /><br />Owning stock can also have financial benefits. When the company does well and makes a profit, part of the profits are distributed among the shareholders in the form of dividends. Dividends are issued at least once a year, but may be issued more often if it is deemed appropriate.<br /><br />There's a lot more that could be said in this stock market for dummies article, but that should give you an overall picture at least.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">By : Steven Magill<br />Copyright (c) 2008 Steven Magill<br />Are You Lying Awake At Night Beating Yourself Up With What-Ifs And Desperately Searching For A Way To make some cash ? http://www.investingforex.com/index.html</span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871787268829410323.post-62274122323506240022009-11-12T03:00:00.000-08:002009-11-12T03:00:02.979-08:00The Best Timing In Doing Stock Market TradingTiming Is Everything<br /><br />Aim for the best timing in <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">stock market trading</span>. It is the only option for a successful stock market investor.<br /><br />In order to raise capital and invest in the business, companies issue their stocks and the public may then buy and sell. The price varies depending on the supply and demand. This is what a stock market trader takes full advantage of.<br /><br />The business of stock market trading can offer better profits to the investor compared to ordinary stock enterprise. The stock market offers a wide variety of stocks to choose from for any investor to go on with stock trading. There is always a moving stock out there amongst the thousands of others registered.<br /><br />However, a careless attempt to proceed with stock market trading can produce undesirable result. Big losses can be incurred if the market trend is not properly predicted. Small profits would also frustrate the purpose of doing stock market trading. An uninformed stock trader may also end up waiting for that decisive moment that would never come.<br /><br />Market Timing<br /><br />To avoid the adverse effects of poor stock market trading, investors use market timing to forecast when the market will change its course. Market timing presumes that the decisive point can be predicted ahead. The direction of the market is predicted through a thorough examination of the price and economic data.<br /><br />Best Timing<br /><br />The consistency of such trend prediction is subject to many factors, that is why the aim of any would-be successful investor is best timing. At first glance, market timing sounds like a guaranteed way to make it big. This however requires exertion of considerable effort and persistence in carefully studying the various factors.<br /><br />Avoid mere speculating. Speculating is a desperate move when the investor hasn't done his homework.<br /><br />Investors also buy stocks because they got a hot tip from someone. Most of these tips however prove to be false, as they are mostly given by parties with vested interests.<br /><br />Market timing requires involvement in research to know the company's history and calculate the trend by charting the movement of the stock's price. This involves analysis of the value of the stock to come close to accurate in predicting the trend. This is ideal in developing standards for when to buy and when to sell for the investor must accurately settle on the proper time to sell. One must also correctly determine when to regain, reselling the stock bought when it reaches its peak value. This way, the maximum profits can be realized.<br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">By : Linda Stetson</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">Linda Stetson is the best financial consultant.

Your Options Explained (Part 1)We live in interesting times...<br /><br />You cannot switch on the TV or read a newspaper without hearing of doom and gloom. If it's not property and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">stock market crash</span> and falls, it's oil prices going through the $100 level, and the situation in Iraq seems to be deteriorating.<br /><br />Well, we will stay clear of most of that, except the issue of markets across the world going down. At this point we feel like saying please take a deep breath everybody.<br /><br />It's certainly true that the 'sub prime' crisis has badly affected the confidence in the markets. Just as has the Northern Rock fiasco in the UK and the Bear Stearns collapse in the US. Are there any more 'nasties' around the corner people will rightly ask?<br /><br />The answer is yes there could be, and things may take several more months for any residual problems to make an unwelcome appearance.<br /><br />So what has happened?<br /><br />Well, in a nutshell, it's partly down to greed.<br /><br />In the last few years many banks have devised complex products to sell on at a profit, with the full ramifications of what they were selling not known at the time.<br /><br />They packaged various types of debt together - good, average and poor quality - and sold it on. The banks priced these packages with a formulae devised by themselves.<br /><br />With the benefit of hindsight, it could be argued that they got it wrong in spectacular style.<br /><br />Roughly speaking, the high risk debt became worthless, the medium grade debt halved in value, and even the high quality reduced in value by circa 30%. This was made worse of course because in forced sales you tend to get less.<br /><br />There is also the issue of how banks lend to each other, called the Interbank rate, so that they have the money to lend to people like us.<br /><br />Gone are the days (but coming back?) when the bank used purely savers' money to then lend. So when confidence is hit, and banks are reluctant to lend to each other, and any lending they do do they charge a lot more for.<br /><br />What we need of course is a period of stability, with bad debt being written off, and Interbank rates settling down. Working capital needs to be found, with wealthy companies called Sovereign funds helping - at a price.<br /><br />As a background to all this, it must be said that the last 15 years have been quite amazing with low interest rates and high growth. This 'Goldilocks' period is ending, with growth down and inflation up. This brings to mind the dreaded word stagflation, and this is perhaps worse than recession.<br /><br />Another point is that compared to other periods of stock market volatility the fall in the markets has not looked huge. Compared to the end of 2007 the FTSE is down around 14% and of course may fall further or recover. But in 1974 the market fell 51%, before bouncing back in 1975!<br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">By : Ray Prince<br />Ray Prince is an Independent Financial Planner with Rutherford Wilkinson plc, and helps UK Resident Doctors and Dentists get the best deals on mortgages, protection and investments, as well as helping them achieve their financial objectives.

Do not spread your money too thin.<br /><br />My friend has a little over $200,000 invested in the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">stock market</span> through 27 different Mutual funds. In my opinion, 27 Mutual funds is 27 too many collecting load fees, management fees, commission fees, operating and advertising fees. Diversity is important, but just as important is over-diversification. Also, in my opinion, $200,000 should not be put into more than 12 stocks, let alone 27 different Mutual funds.<br /><br />2. Do not pay commission fees to purchase a stock.<br /><br />If you are going to invest your hard earned dollars into a company, the least the company could do is provide you a way to invest in their company commission free – and they do!<br /><br />3. Only purchase those companies that pay a dividend.<br /><br />The same company that you invest in commission free should also offer you another incentive for you to invest – a dividend for the use of your money.<br /><br />4. Only purchase those companies that have a history of raising their dividend every year.<br /><br />The same company should continue rewarding you for your faith in their company by increasing the amount of their dividend every year. Rising dividends are also the proof that the company is dong something right.<br /><br />5. Dollar-cost average into each stock position.<br /><br />By dollar-cost averaging (buying the same stock at different prices through the years) you’ll never pay too much for the company’s stock, even if the initial purchase is at a 52 week high. Have all the dividends from each company rolled back into more shares of each company, until retirement. The companies you invest in should do this for you, automatically, commission free.<br /><br />6. Forget making a profit; instead focus on the income provided from your stock portfolio.<br /><br />That’s right! Forget making a profit. The burden is now lifted - no more pressure on making a buck in the stock market (Instead of trying to bend the spoon, that is impossible, instead just think of the spoon as – omigosh! - I’m in the Matrix). When you focus on the amount of money your holdings are providing in dividends – and when those companies selected have a history of raising their dividends each year – a lower stock price allows the dividends that are being rolled back into the stock to accelerate your income. The total value of your portfolio may go lower, but your income from that lower priced portfolio would increase dramatically. Profit by income!<br /><br />7. Make every stock purchase with the intent that the purchase will be a long-term investment.<br /><br />Do not trade in and out of your holdings. There have been many up and downs in the stock market. The down markets only accelerate your income. GE has raised their dividend for 28 years in a row. Why sell it? 100 shares of GE ten years ago has turned into 1200 shares today due to stock splits, and that is not counting how many shares you would have now if the dividends were being rolled back into more shares of the stock through those years.<br /><br />8. Understand that a lower stock price, after your initial purchase may be a blessing in disguise.<br /><br />The income from your stock holdings should grow every quarter, no matter what the total amount of your stock portfolio is worth. (If your Mutual fund declines in price from one year to the next and if your income is not increasing (accelerating) from that fund, why are you in that fund?) A company pays their dividend not on how much their stock is worth in the market place. For example, a company pays a quarterly dividend of 50 cents a share. A company has little control on how much its stock price is worth in the market place on any given day. You will receive 50 cents a share per quarter whether the stock price is at 50 dollars a share, or drops to $40 a share or goes up to $70. While the stock is down at $40 a share your dividend reinvestment is loading up on more shares.<br /><br />9. Develop a savings plan to add to your holdings each quarter to help your dividend reinvestments to accumulate more shares on a dollar-cost averaging basis.<br /><br />The savings could be as little as $5.00 a week. Why put that savings in a savings account at 1.2 percent, when there are so many companies out there that are paying a 4 to 5% dividend yield and increasing their dividend every year? And since none of the companies you are investing in charge a commission, all of that $60.00 a quarter you saved and invested would help your dividend reinvestments to dollar-cost average into your holdings. Every cent you save and invest would work toward your ROI (Return on Investment).<br /><br />10.

And the opportunistic strategy for creating wealth in the stock market must have two ingredients, a plan and a goal. The plan must be a definite, concrete plan of investing that would profit you and your family for the rest of your lives.<br /><br />This opportunistic investment plan you begin should not profit anyone else – not a stockbroker, a mutual fund or a financial advisor. This means you have to have confidence in yourself and in your own judgment as to whether the investment plan you begin has merit. And this means that the investment plan would and should have already been proven to you!<br /><br />This definite, concrete plan you begin for creating wealth through opportunities in the stock market must also have a goal. The goal should be clear and specific, and once your have made up your mind to achieve that goal, then go forward and make that goal a reality.<br /><br />What are the opportunistic traits of a strategic investment plan built on concrete that would actually allow the shareholder to profit through all the turmoil of an up and down stock market? The secret for creating wealth in the stock market; no matter what direction the market is heading?<br /><br />As in what appears to be the most difficult investment question of all to answer, the answer lies in simplicity itself – investing in those companies that have a historical record of raising their dividend every year. Whether or not you can take this statement of fact to heart is your own judgment call. But it is this opportunistic trait that can and will create wealth for you and your family for the rest of your lives.<br /><br />A company’s ability to raise its dividend every year, coupled with stock appreciation is a very powerful wealth creating formula!<br /><br />I’m going to provide you with two examples, though there are many more, some with even better results. The two examples are from my book, soon to be published by American Book Publishing – The Stockopoly Plan (where an investment plan and a goal are written in stone).<br /><br />The first example would be a stock purchased in 1990, Comerica (CMA). What led to the purchase of CMA? – In 1990 CMA had a 21 year history of raising their dividend every year. Today’s CMA has a 35 year history of raising their dividend every year. This opportunistic trait in CMA stock has garnished a little better than a 15 percent return a year, compounded annually (just by having the dividends reinvested back into the stock each quarter through those years – I prove this to you in The Stockopoly Plan), for the past 14 plus years. Today’s CMA stock just recently touched a new high at $60 dollars a share, with a dividend yield of around 3½ percent. In April of 2003 the stock was selling around $37.50 a share, paying a dividend yield of around 5% a year. Am I tempted to sell my position in CMA? Do I care if the stock drops from this lofty price back to $37 a share? Why should I? If the stock drops back to $37 a share, my dividends being reinvested back into the stock each quarter purchases more shares, and my dividend income from CMA simply and dramatically accelerates. I am also already prepared that if a buy-out offer is ever made for the company to reap the profits of owning the stock (as well as the possibility of another stock split).<br /><br />The second example is (unfortunately) in my book, also. I say unfortunately because my book is in the final copy edit stage, so no one has had a chance to read and benefit from it, and since a buy-out offer was made for the stock last week or so, the stock will no longer exist (this means a rewrite for me, before publication). The company in question is the Rouse Co. (RSE), which was just purchased by General Growth Properties (GGP). Oddly enough, you’ll find GGP in my book, also – if you bother to pick it up. Anyway, that’s neither here nor there - RSE, on the takeover bid jumped over $16.00 a share in one day! Whew! Why couldn’t they have waited a couple of months until my book was released? RSE had the opportunistic trait of raising their dividend every year since 1993 and I was quite content with its performance through the years.<br /><br />Well, that last paragraph blew my train of thought on this article. All I can think about at the moment is my rewrite.<br /><br />I would like to take this time to explain something to you. I have never considered myself a writer nor am I a stock market professional. I am simply a man with 39 years of experience and a passion for the stock market, trying to share what wisdom those years have given me. When I sit down to write an article, I seldom have an idea on what I’m going to say. It was the same way when I sat down to write my book. I just meant to put down a few words on paper for my 18-year old son so he would have a sound, concrete plan for investing in those companies that make up the stock market (quite frankly – I didn’t want him to blow his inheritance). Whether you find merit in what I say, I have no idea. What I do know is that life is just too short to learn everything you need to learn by yourself, without the help of others.<br /><br />There, now I’m satisfied with that ending!<br /><br />For more excerpts from the book ‘The Stockopoly Plan’<br />visit http://www.thestockopolyplan.com<br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">By : Charles M.

Their major functions are: guaranteeing liquidity, forming assets prices within establishing proposition and demand and decreasing of operational expenses, incurred by the participants of the market.<br /><br />Financial market comprises variety of instruments, hence its functioning totally depends on instruments held. Usually it can be classified according to the type of financial instruments and according to the terms of instruments’ paying-off.<br /><br />>From the point of different types of instruments held the market can be divided into the one of promissory notes and the one of securities (stock market). The first one contains promissory instruments with the right for its owners to get some fixed amount of money in future and is called the market of promissory notes, while the latter binds the issuer to pay a certain amount of money according to the return received after paying-off all the promissory notes and is called stock market. There are also types of securities referring to both categories as, e.g., preference shares and converted bonds. They are also called the instruments with fixed return.<br /><br />Another classification is due to paying-off terms of instruments. These are: market of assets with high liquidity (money market) and market of capital. The first one refers to the market of short-term promissory notes with assets age up to 12 months. The second one refers to the market of long-term promissory notes with instruments age surpasses 12 months. This classification can be referred to the bond market only as its instruments have fixed expiry date, while the stock market’s not.<br /><br />Now we are turning to the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">stock market</span>.<br /><br />As it was mentioned before, ordinary shares’ purchasers typically invest their funds into the company-issuer and become its owners. Their weight in the process of making decisions in the company depends on the number of shares he/she possesses. Due to the financial experience of the company, its part in the market and future potential shares can be divided into several groups.<br /><br />1. Blue Chips<br /><br />Shares of large companies with a long record of profit growth, annual return over $4 billion, large capitalization and constancy in paying-off dividends are referred to as blue chips.<br /><br />2. Growth Stocks<br /><br />Shares of such company grow faster; its managers typically pursue the policy of reinvestment of revenue into further development and modernization of the company. These companies rarely pay dividends and in case they do the dividends are minimal as compared with other companies.<br /><br />3. Income Stocks<br /><br />Income stocks are the stocks of companies with high and stable earnings that pay high dividends to the shareholders. The shares of such companies usually use mutual funds in the plans for middle-aged and elderly people.<br /><br />4. Defensive Stocks<br /><br />These are the stocks whose prices stay stable when the market declines, do well during recessions and are able to minimize risks. They perform perfect when the market turns sour and are in requisition during economic boom.<br /><br />These categories are widely spread in mutual funds, thus for better understanding investment process it is useful to keep in mind this division.<br /><br />Shares can be issued both within the country and abroad. In case a company wants to issue its shares abroad it can use American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). ADRs are usually issued by the American banks and point at shareholders’ right to possess the shares of a foreign company under the asset management of a bank. Each ADR signals of one or more shares possession.<br /><br />When operating with shares, aside of purchase/sale ratio profits, you can also quarterly receive dividends. They depend on: type of share, financial state of the company, shares category etc.<br /><br />Ordinary shares do not guarantee paying-off dividends. Dividends of a company depend on its profitability and spare cash. Dividends differ from each other as they are to be paid in a different period of time, with the possibility of being higher as well as lower. There are periods when companies do not pay dividends at all, mostly when a company is in a financial distress or in case executives decide to reinvest income into the development of the business. While calculating acceptable share price, dividends are the key factor.<br /><br />Price of ordinary share is determined by three main factors: annual dividends rate, dividends growth rate and discount rate. The latter is also called a required income rate. The company with the high risks level is expected to have high required income rate. The higher cash flow the higher share prices and versus. This interdependence determines assets value. Below we will touch upon the division of share prices estimating in three possible cases with regard to dividends.<br /><br />While purchasing shares, aside of risks and dividends analysis, it is absolutely important to examine company carefully as for its profit/loss accounting, balance, cash flows, distribution of profits between its shareholders, managers’ and executives’ wages etc. Only when you are sure of all the ins and outs of a company, you can easily buy or sell shares. If you are not confident of the information, it is more advisable not to hold shares for a long time (especially before financial accounting published).<br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">By : Dr. John Goldfinger<br />Dr. John Goldfinger - www.financegaes.com<br />FinanceGates: (http://www.financegates.com) free financial advice.

It is too bad that some folks don’t remember what happened in 2000. Of course, right now we are in one of those genius phases. Your broker and financial planner are encouraging you to buy, buy, buy. And I can’t fault that at this time. You remember back in 2000 how many times they told you to buy, buy, buy while the market was going down, down, down. Are we in another of those periods now that are leading up to a humongous crash? Hey, I don’t predict, but I do listen to the voice of the market.<br /><br />The great Wall Street mantra is “buy a good stock and put it away”. Did you keep WorldCom and Global Crossing? Even if these were exceptions because of fraud a smart investor would not have lost any money. In fact he could have made a nice profit.But Al, they went under! Yes, I know, but the smart money still made out because they sold near the top.<br /><br />As a former exchange member and floor trader I was not right every time I bought something and I especially did not like giving back nice profits that had accumulated. You don’t have to be psychic to know when to sell and don’t think you are going to be able to pick the top. A really smart trader waits for a stock or fund to start up and then jumps on it with both feet. When it starts down he jumps off looking for another equity that is going up. The wise trader knows he can’t buy the bottom and sell the top. What he wants is a big bite out of the middle.<br /><br />When you make a sandwich most of the meat is in the center and a professional trader does the same with his trading. He wants to take a bite out of the middle of the move. You can do this too by looking for stocks, mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds that have a nice upward pattern. As I said before buying is not the secret. Then what is?<br /><br />You must learn to sell - for two reasons. First to protect your equity after your initial purchase and second to keep from giving back profits you have made as the equity advances. The great Wall Street secret is an exit strategy: knowing when to sell. Unless you learn to sell you will not be successful in the market. Brokerage companies do not want you to sell and rarely issue sell signals. You must decide how much you are willing to risk before you buy.<br /><br />The simplest way is with a percentage stop loss order of 5%, 7%, 10%, 12%, whatever you can live with. Instruct your broker to place a trialing stop or you can change it yourself every week. Do not lower a stop.<br /><br />Selling is the great secret you will never hear from your broker.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">By: Al Thomas<br />F*R*E*E investment letter www.mutualfundmagic.com<br />Author of best seller "IF IT DOESN'T GO UP, DON'T BUY IT!"
