Stock Newsletters Can Inform Consumers of Upcoming Changes

By Kelly Dearmond

I became interested in investing when my granddaughter showed interest. Our favorite sunday tradition was reading the newspaper together. At the age of 8, her favorite section was the Financials.

My granddaughter's interest in investing never faded. She always told me that I needed to be paying attention to what she said, because I needed to make sure my future was secure. I began to pay attention. At first, I could barely read the Financial section. Now, I have accounts with several brokerages, a financial mentor, and an accountant.

I have always told my granddaughter that market timing reports seem like a fortuneteller at the carnival. Investment newsletters are light on the research and big on the gloss; or instead they are all just focused on the current market. The worst stock market newsletter I received only discussed huge market gains and losses that had occurred 6 months ago.

After constantly insisting that these investment newsletters are not accurate, I was able to convince my granddaughter to locate an investment research firm that does have accurate, timely, and data-driven information. My granddaughter began searching the investment research firms, and examining their research methodologies. She found My Strategic Forecast online a week later.

The sound research provided by My Strategic Forecast is delivered to my email inbox in the form of financial newsletters, investment newsletters, and stock newsletters. Through their examination of historical events, My Strategic Forecast puts the market forces which shape our economy in their right perspective. In one situation, they analyzed pre-World War II economic factors, and applied the information to the airline industry prior to the Iraq War.

Through their attention paid to historical trends, My Strategic Forecast has proved to be a wise investing tool. When I receive their newsletters, I become excited, and I can't wait to have a moment to review them. Through careful efficiency, the company thoroughly analyzes all relevant data before expressing their opinion. They take into account political information, geopolitical information, and even data about weather trends. I'm able to get the biggest picture possible about what is going on, what went on in the past, and how to gauge my bets on the future.

My granddaughter did well, she is now a Securities Account Manager for a large firm; we still laugh about reading the Financials section together. My granddaughter is also a subscriber to My Strategic Forecast as she believes that their methodology is unlike any other in the business. I feel lucky to have such a smart granddaughter looking out for me. - 23222

The Prophetic Guidance Of JP Morgan!

By Gavin J. King

News broke just today that JP Morgan will be hiring 1200 mortgage officers across the U.S. For those of you who are not familiar with who they are, when the recession really started to hit hard JP Morgan was the bank who purchased Washington Mutual and offset several billion dollars of its own tax liability in the purchase.

Also on their procurement list was fellow Wall Street bank, Bear Stearns, who was denied a bailout by Goldman Sachs Fed Reserve Head, Ben Bernanke and buddy Hank Paulson.

The logic behind the hiring of these loan officers is the mystifying part of the deal. JP Morgan is claiming to be hiring the loan officers in anticipation of when the real estate market turns around so they can most efficiently serve home loan applicants. Strategically positioning these loan officers all across the nation, JP Morgan apparently thinks that the real estate market is about to rebound.

Where are they getting their signals from? The media has only projected more doom and gloom so they must be privy to information that is much more optimistic than what most of us are reading or hearing. With bailout money in their pockets they must be priming the pump for their next big business leap.

With everything revealed, I think it will be profoundly obvious that JP Morgan, and the only other remaining Wall Street bank, Goldman Sachs, have been working diligently to establish themselves as the exclusive source of credit, before turning back on the spigots of credit.

With the timing and apparent boldness of a bank robber, they are staging a real estate recovery that will help many homeowners. But, is it really helping someone when you stop causing the problem they suffered from in the first place? - 23222

Choosing a Broker

By Warren Bryte

In order to do any types on transactions on the stock market, one of the people you will need is a stock broker. A stock broker is basically someone who is licensed to perform sales and purchase of securities listed in a stock exchange. They take several tests before getting the license to do the transactions. Normal people who do not have the license are not allowed to do the exchange. This is to ensure that the people performing the transactions have at least the basic experience and understanding on what they are doing.

Brokers work with brokerage firms. That is how they get their license, and also how they are able to have access to bigger pools of investments. Occasionally, brokers may give advice to what stocks are good to buy or what to sell. These are often referred to as the full service brokers. They may give you a variety of investment options to choose from so that you can have a more diversified portfolio and usually work with you one to one on your investment goals and risk appetite.

The other type of broker is referred to as the discount broker. Discount brokers do not give any advice at all. They merely receive instructions from the client and perform accordingly. Discount brokers are commonly found in brokerage companies that offer online platforms where you can sell and purchase securities through the internet. Your request is sent through the platform to the broker who then performs the transaction on the stock exchange.

It must be clear however, that brokers are different from stock market analysts. A stock broker's main job is to perform the transaction as requested by their clients - the buying or selling of securities. They may have general knowledge as to what factors may move the market, but they are by no means the specialist trained to analyze market shifts.

Investors should bear in mind that brokers work mainly on commission. They charge a certain percentage of the transaction as their brokerage fee. Different brokerage firms offer different percentages. Some also offer a fixed fee for each transaction. It is important for investors to note this so that they can deduct the brokerage fee to calculate their real profit or loss.

Full service brokers usually charge higher than discount brokers but that is the price you pay for their service of giving you advise and investment choices. So unless you are experienced with how the stock market works, it is recommended to start off with full service brokers. But sometimes, taking things into your own hands can be quite challenging as well. It really boils down to how much risk are you willing to take. - 23222

Trading Coaches - Learn and Profit From a Master

By Mark Green

Many people can't wait to get started trading after they have read all the books and got their trading system and equipment all setup. After trading for a while, they may have some wins and some losses and become discouraged. All this hard work just to break even? They may wonder what is missing? They may hear that other traders using similar systems are making great profits. The missing piece to the puzzle is often experience. Traders faced with the same market and using the same system will produce different results based on their experience in the market. One of the best ways to shortcut the learning curve that everyone goes through is to use a trading coach and leverage their experience in the market.

You may be wondering what exactly is a trading coach. A trading coach is someone with many years of experience trading the markets. Trading coaches will help other people or groups of people get started or improve their trading skills. They can look at where you are in your trading career and offer unbiased advice on how to improve. Often someone else looking over your trading results will see something that you could improve that is obvious to them but not you. Some people wonder why a successful trader would want to be a trading coach. Trading is a lonely business and some trading coaches gain a lot of satisfaction from helping and seeing other people achieve success in trading.

It is possible to work with a trading coach privately or in a group. Your budget may dictate which option you choose, but even if they can afford it, many people prefer the interaction and learning that comes from being part of a group. If you choose a private session you will get the undivided attention of the coach and you will get advice tailored to your situation. Location doesn't have to be a limiting factor when choosing a coach, as these days, coaches will work on the phone, using the internet and Skype or in person.

You may find some trading coaches also offering home study courses. Although there may be an extra cost for this, when you compare it to the cost of actual trading coaching sessions, it can be good value. Instead of paying for the time of the trading coach to explain basic trading concepts and systems, learning from the course is an alternative. Once you have learnt the basics, you can then use the time with the trading coach most effectively.

Sometimes a trading coach will run a 'trading room'. This is a session where you are login to a site on the internet where you are able to see the trading coach's computer or trading software. You are then able to watch and listen as they explain what is going on in the market. This works well when the market is open and active, for example in the forex market. You are also able to ask questions and get answers in realtime.

Traders often need help in different areas. If you are able to identify where you need improvement, you will be able to use the time with the coach most effectively. For example some people need to improve their trade selection, other need help to manage their emotions so that they don't take profits too soon or leave it too late to take a loss. A trading diary can help to provide a record of all your trades and demonstrate if you have been consistent in following your trading plan. - 23222

By John Adams

What is Forex trading software? mostly this refers to software that instantly analyzes the currency markets and produces pay for or sell signals Trading on the stock market, you are faced with trading in the shares of hundreds of different companies, each with its own sets of uncertainties.

In reality there are hundreds of different currencies. Price movements in one currency will highly often result in similar price movements in another currency. To study all the reasons involved will still take plenty of time and need that you have access to complicated charting and data exploration software. If you are a part-time trader this is not constantly practical. This is where automatic trading software comes in. This form of software will immediately analyze the loads of technical indicators, like moving averages, and then come forward with a trading signal - advising you to either purchase or sell a certain currency.

In reality there are hundreds of different currencies. Price movements in one currency will very often result in similar price movements in another currency. To study all the circumstances involved will still take tons of time and require that you have access to difficult charting and data analysis software. If you are a part-time trader this is not always practical. This is where automated trading software comes in. This sort of software will instantly analyze the a countless technical indicators, like moving averages, and then come forward with a trading signal - advising you to either pay for or sell a particular currency. IvyBot is 100 %automated trading system which is predicted to be the next big thing in the area of Forex trading. This robot has already gained tremendous popularity among the traders and every trader is excited about this genius. Here is a detailed review on IvyBot robot, explaining what makes it so specific and what it means to Forex dealers.

First of all, the robot is named IvyBot because the program used by it internally was created by a group of Ivy League graduates. Most people are not bothered about who wrote the software, but how it works. However, it becomes special in this case because the software was written by a bunch of very smart people and hence it is supposed to be smart too. Forex market is a continually changing environment and so you need a robot which changes accordingly. A robot which works on static data is of no use for Forex trading as its outcome may not be consistent across different market conditions. Artificial Intelligence is a technology which works on predictions and assumptions and also risky for an unpredictable market like Forex.

Considering all these troubles, the people who created IvyBot came up with the optimal solution of updating its data regularly. A group of Forex market experts update IvyBot on a weekly basis who systematically monitor the shifting behavior of the market. They are not all equal even though that. The pricey ones will also produce a set of charts and the results of the technical analysis to explain to you how it arrived at the suggestion. This way you will get profitable insight into the way decisions should be taken based on technical data. The cheaper software packages will simply produce a suggestion based on the same results without the in-depth analysis. The suggestion might be the same as that of more pricey software, but you will not get the same insight into how it arrived at its choice.

Investors and merchants who base their trading measures on fundamental exploration will not doubt explain you that the simple principle underlying these trading suggestions is flawed: trading measures should be generated based on 'fundamental' or 'real' reasons. ivyBot is not the software which promises updates-free surgical operation, but one which promises excellent results due to the regular updates. Once updated, it works with minimum participation from user, as it is 100 %immediate in nature. It is a highly feasible and intelligent trading software for every trader who wants to gain maximum profits in minimum investment.

Traders who firmly believe in technical exploration will in turn argue that all fundamental reasons will on balance have to show itself in terms of a movement in a couple of or other technical indicator. Whether it's the price breaking by ways of the moving average, trading volumes changing abruptly or something else - there will be a modification in a technical indicator. And the forex trading system will select up this signal sent by the technical indicator and come forward with a trading signal. on balance your measure as to whether you like better to do manual trading or make usage of one of these software kits will be determined by time constraints and whether you are a supporter of fundamental exploration or technical exploration. - 23222
