Someone can hire professionals to repair automotive parts to get the problem solved more quickly. On-line providers offer reliable auto parts and truck parts and you can find good rates for these.

Quite a few firms are getting involved with “pairs trading” and we thought
we just might take a moment to explain what the term means.
Pairs trading means that you simultaneously go long one stock in a sector
and you go short another one. On the surface, you might be thinking, “why
would anyone do that?” Well, for a couple reasons.

First, in just about every sector there are a couple leaders and everyone
else is a laggard. For instance, in the tech area, IBM consistently
outperforms others in general. In the financial sector, GS can rack up points
better than most. So, leaning long the leaders when the time is right
often pays you generously.

Likewise, some companies often produce more good news than others. Some of
it is “manufactured” and some of it is real, but the street tends to pay
attention to the news generators and they often press them higher. So, if
you go long a stock putting out good news, while simultaneously shorting
their competition, you will often see something like this happen:

The stock putting out the good news pulls the sector higher. But, in a day
or two, the others in the sector often start falling back, while the news
generator holds up, or even keeps rising. If you are long the news stock,
and short the weakest competitor in the sector, chances are good that both
will be winning plays.

This isn’t a new concept, but one that lost favor in the 90’s, as everyone
simply went long. Now the idea of pairs trading is catching on again, and
it’s worth your doing some homework on it if it sounds intriguing to you.

Where do you stand at the end of the third quarter 2005? Will you be making money in your account this year? There’s only one quarter of 2005 left! The overall market averages have not done well at all! At first glance, it appears that if you own large cap growth stocks, like the well known blue chip names that dominate the Dow and the S&P 500 Index, your money may have been better off on the sidelines!
Once again, another quarter has rolled by where small caps, foreign markets, technology and commodities have run the table. And these sectors continue to flash more and more buy signals, even today. It’s not too late! This is a sector driven market. Those investors with money in the right sectors will do well. Those that are “along for the ride” will find themselves waiting at the curb.

Staying Safe In A High Risk Market

There are MANY paths you can take when things start moving against you in the market. Some of the other methods involve selling calls against your individual stocks, buying inverse market funds and inverse index funds. You can also move into other types of investments, like foreign markets and commodities (as mentioned earlier, both of these areas have skyrocketed this year). You could always put money in bonds, if interest rates are in your favor. Just keep in mind that bond prices go up and down, so you will always have your principal fluctuating in bond investments. Always.
One of the very simplest, and yet, one of the most important steps you can take is to do a little housecleaning. Throw out the stocks that just don’t seem to fit, or offer little hope of coming back any time soon.

Looking Backwards

Periodically, I’ll review a position backwards. That is, I will check out the trend chart and its patterns, the strength of the sector, check out the relative strength of the stock against the market and the peer group.

At that point I will step back and decide if this is something I would want to buy today. Not hold onto, but rather, buy today. You have to really love it.

Once I’ve made a decision whether I’m a buyer, only then will I look at the NAME of the stock.

Try it; you may be surprised with your decisions! You see, many times we look at the name of a stock we really like and we are pre-disposed to give it a “pass” if it is not performing. Sometimes, our sub-conscious has already made up its mind before step one!

Now, if you’d like to try this experiment on your own holdings, then email me at tom@mullooly.net and give me the names a few stocks you are concerned about. It has to be more than one stock, I need to mix them up and remove the names, so you can’t tell which chart I’m sending you first. As I mentioned before, the results may surprise you!

One strategy you won’t see from us when we’re in a high risk market is doing nothing, and just “sitting out this dance.” You’ve worked too hard to get where you are financially, the last thing you should do is sit idle and let the market take your profits away from you.

Reducing the chances of a loss in your account is what should be of supreme importance when the market is on shaky ground.

Investing Akido – Part One

by Anthony Merizzi

“What’s the biggest challenge to earning money in the stock markets?”

According to a recent survey of hundreds of new and experienced traders, it’s simply this:

How can you earn consistently, even predictably…month after month?

It seems that the average investor takes a somewhat scattered approach, which also tends to scatter their profits. Some people hear the news of a stock that’s ‘just about to expode’, and rush to get their money into it before it’s too late.

Or, even more often, they just watch to see if the news comes true. They stay ‘on the sidelines’, unsure whether to move or wait. Unsure how to make a decision. And out of the profits, too.

Sometimes, after seeing too many opportunities pass by, you might get so impatient or anxious that you take a chance on the next one that comes up. Certain that your time has come. And, it may work for you. But without proper research or guidance on your decision, it may be more like a gamble than an informed decision. Again, where do the profits go?

Here’s a thought… “Amateur Investors have the advantage over professionals in their ability to move in and out of the Stock Market quickly…”

(Peter Lynch said that)

Still others, who may spend time and energy researching their choices, may even put their money into a ‘good stock’ (I’m not sure what that one means…). But then, they leave their choice, no matter what happens. The problem with that happens when they leave it so long that they see their profits build, then fall again. The normal ebb and flow of the economic markets can do that. So the question often becomes something like “How long should I hold a stock? How long is too long?”

Common questions, all of them.

And I’ve asked them plenty of times too.

Finally, after trying a few different methods that promised success and even a profitable source of income from stock market trading, I’ve discovered a way for all of this to make sense. Basically, the approach is a lot like the martial art of akido, where you use existing momentum to provide the energy to win.

Once I’d actually learned how, I started off by earning over 18.3% during my first trading month. That was a good month, sure! I’ve seen that go up and down since then, and have finally learned to see more ‘ups’.

If you’d like a look inside my actual results, and the strategies used to get them, drop me a line here. I’ll send you occasional updates on my actual results.

They won’t come every day, but usually at least once a week. So rest assured, you won’t be overloaded. But you may just get inspired…

One of the significant discoveries I made was that everyone has…

Discipline can be simply defined as your ability to follow your investing and trading plan.

Discipline is a rather simple concept. You just need to define what, when and how you want to trade and manage it. You also need to decide how to handle your account when you are making money and also when bad days come along!

Psychological issues make up 90% of the trading equation. Discipline is the essence of all of the psychological issues. It permeates throughout the whole process. All the rules and procedures and plans do not matter if they are not followed.

There is little doubt that for those who seek success in trading, failure rarely comes from writing the wrong plan. It comes from not writing one at all, or not following the one that is written!

Once you make your plan the following three rules are in order:

1. Don’t change your plan during the trading day.

2. Commit to only making changes when the market is closed and

3. Go over your plan every morning before you trade.

The best way to enforce discipline is just by awareness. Keep records of your trades. On every trade, include an answer to the simple question, “Was this trade part of my trading plan?”. Yes or no. There is no in-between!

Be aware that the undisciplined traders are almost guaranteed failures.

Ask yourself if you are keeping the discipline, or are you just taking random trades that look good at the moment?

You can’t fix something if you do not know it is broken.

You must first be aware that you have a discipline problem!

If you do have the discipline problem, there is an absolute answer for you!

The answer is this:

JUST DISCIPLINE YOURSELF…
There is no alternative!

Thousands of snowboarders will shortly be trying to find their ski equipment and scooting away hunting for the heaviest snow. And beyond any doubt the results of your carbon footprint will be roughly as far down the list of holiday musts as a xmas tree after Christmas. Merely last year, a sluggish snow made the the headlines and tourists were panic stricken about the bits of snow disappearing nearly as soon as they put down.

Skiing organisation Chalet 1802, located at the bottom of Mount Blanc in Chamonix Haute Savoie in the French Alps, is one of the only autonomous firms to go carbon negative and offer snowboarders an environmentally friendly selection while booking their skiing trip. Chalet 1802 proprietor Eldrian said: Last season was quite a surprise with the warmest winter in fifty yrs in the French Alps. Ski ski fields such as Espace Killy, Alpe d’Huez and Les Contamines-Montjoie lacked clients.It was temperate and the snowfall did not last so much of the early season skiing season in the French Alps was limited. We chose to become carbon neutral to help preserve the snowboarding resort.

Eldrian said: We’re not assaying to dictate to clients only I consider its all important to give the clients the selection without raising the price of the trip. If the guest book with us and vacations in our skiing chalet they may more than off-set their carbon footprint and we soak up the additional costs. Naturally we still have a sauna and a hot tub – customers wish for opulence but not at the expense of the surroundings, so we considered methods of diminishing the impact of a skier flying over here for a skiing holiday.”

Chalet 1802 have also partnered with group Climate Care, who attacks global warming by making carbon dioxide reductions for people and businesses.

Mortgage leads can be bought in quite a few different varieties. And depending on which loan officer you ask, some are better than others.

If you buy leads in bulk, most likely you will be buying old or recycled leads.

Mortgage leads can also be bought by way of cherry picking, where you can actually view the lead before you purchase it. You can also see how many times it has been purchased by other loan officers.

Or, you can buy your leads “fresh,” or hot off the press.

All types of leads can have their benefits to loan officers, but it is very difficult to compete with fresh leads.

You won’t be hearing objections, such as:

“I did that months ago,” or “I closed that loan last week.”

Mortgage leads that are sold fresh, or in real time are delivered to your doorstep the second the potential customer hits the submit button on the on-line application.

If you are a loan officer or mortgage broker interested in the purchase of fresh leads, be sure you know where the lead provider is obtaining their leads from in order to assure their quality.

Look for the lead companies that obtain their leads through web sites that they own and operate on their own.

Steer clear of the mortgage lead companies that purchase their leads from third party vendors and than sell them to loan officers at a profit.

You never know how many times that third party vendor is selling those leads to other lead companies.

In the end, if it is quality that you are looking for, than give serious consideration to the purchase of fresh leads.
