Pink bow tattoo: done TODAY!


Image by r e n a t a
Sorry for the crappy picture – had to use the mirror…

This is my 4th tattoo. I have 3 other really tiny ones: a star on my right foot and a sakura flower and a ® on my right wrist.

This is my first colored tattoo, and it is by far the biggest one.

My boyfriend didn’t love it (he hasn’t seen it live yet, only a photograph – but he works in the financial market – square!) and I am pretty sure my parents will hate it too, but my sister loved it!

I like it too. It WILL take time getting used to it, I guess.
And I can always wear jeans (my fave outfit), trousers, stockings and long skirts when I don’t want to see it or let it be seen.

And yes, It hurts SO BAD, God!

There has been a lot of speculation in regards to futures trading and how it has changed the way in which the financial market operates. The thing about futures trading previously was that it was only taken on board by high street investment firms that not only limited the distribution of wealth but also limited the effect that it had on the market. There had been a lot of debate in regards to how come only those that worked in such investment firms were exposed to trade in such a market.

Seeing there was a lot of demand, futures trading has now been made available for the general public. Many people have mistaken futures trading to be similar to stocks and shares. There is a huge difference in stocks and shares and this form of trading. Trading involved in stocks and shares is mainly limited to a certain number of companies that nearly everyone invests in. For this reason it is very difficult for one to make decent profits unless they have invested large amounts of cash. The other down side to stocks and shares investments is the fact that you only really see a decent profit after a year or so from the date of your investment.

This is not the case with futures trading investments. If you decide to go ahead with futures trading investment, you will be sure to make a lot of money. The great thing about this form of trading is that not only do you have the choice of going for long term investments, but you can also decide to go ahead with short term investments as well. The success that lies in this particular form of trading is all to do with the markets that it has to offer. The markets would include currency, beef, gold, steel, wood etc. As you can see, these are not every day markets that you would expect any investor to invest in. Seeing as many people are not investing in such markets automatically creates a window for a lot of money to be made. Now you may be asking why other people are not investing in these markets if they are so profitable as we say they are.

The truth is that no one has been exposed to futures trading in the previous years as it has always gone unnoticed under the radar. Seeing that more light is being shone on futures trading, is making it more popular day by day.

The reason futures trading can make you a lot of money is because it offers a large profit margin. Not only this but seeing that the market is quite volatile, as long as you know what you are doing, you will be able to make a lot of money. The key behind the success to this form of trading is to take your time and having the adequate knowledge that is required to implement it properly.

News is the communication of information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet or word of mouth to a third party or mass audience. Newsworthiness is defined as a subject having sufficient relevance to the public or a special audience to warrant press attention or coverage.

The news plays a vital role in human affairs. The importance of news has been increased greatly by the spread of education. Education sharpens one’s curiosity about events in distant lands.

There are several types of news available for several professionals. For example people who are involved themselves in finance; they always look for finance News and Financial Market News.

The news should, however, be lived with caution, for its capacity to do harm is great. Most people believe everything that is reported by the news agencies. As a result, the news exerts a profound influence on the audience. Therefore, when some news is reported wrongly either by mistake or design, it may cause a lot of harm. On the other hand, if the policy of the news agency is to promote the welfare of the people, it could do a lot of good. For example, it could exercise its influence to persuade the government of a country to do many things for the benefit of the people. In a country like Malaysia, where there are many races of people, the newspaper could also use its influence to promote good-will and harmony among the people.

Advances in web technologies and their growing usage have made the production, distribution, and sharing of information so much easier than what it was only a decade ago. These days Internet has become the most popular way to access news. Busy executives, decision makers and other people taking advantage of computing in work and they find Internet as the best source to gain latest news.

Being back with the financial review for this week with important notes by PitGuru Frank LaMantia, I hope the review can help you guys somehow in your business. I wish you a successful trading week. Being traders, we know that time means money. I will not take much of your time any more. Just check out and note down necessary information the Financials Market Review for the week of August 02nd, 2010!

“China is showing a descent rise in car sales as auto production rose 12.9%. The automaker industry in China has to deal with rising costs and labor tension as strikes by parts suppliers put up a fight. China has beaten the United States in sales due to tax cuts and subsidies given to citizens to switch to more fuel efficient vehicles. HSBC announced some pretty significant numbers this morning. The Bank of Hong Kong announced a pretax profit of 1.1 billion up from billion last year at this juncture.

Bankruptcies and foreclosures are still issues as June’s numbers showed California, Utah, Colorado, and Idaho had a significant increase. Foreclosures have been rising in these states as well as Arizona, Florida, and Nevada. The AP Index is a measurement that is used to calculate this stress level. Numbers from 1-100 are assigned to unemployment, foreclosures, and bankruptcies. The higher the number the more stress that state is experiencing.

\The market is soaring this morning on earnings announcements. The S&P was up over 14 points to 1113.00 and the DOW was up over 120 points to 10540.00.(4) Last week it was mentioned that the S&P was passing technical levels and that there was significant room on the upside. Unfortunately this move happened in pre-market trading.

The social mood seems to be different than how the market has been acting, meaning investors and consumers seem to be cutting back on spending and the overall outlook on unemployment, foreclosures, and bankruptcies has been leaving a bad taste in people’s mouths.   The big question is can this be used as a guide for another bear market?”

You now already have an over view of the financial market in this first week of August. You may have your own decision for your business. For a full understanding of futures markets, you can check out related reviews for more information at the weekly futures market reviews or daily futures prices!

MEPs are set to vote into law a rigorous new framework for the supervision of financial markets in the EU, after achieving an agreement with Member States (debate and votes Wednesday).

Is it possible for a complete newbie trader, with only two weeks of training, to make money trading the financial markets?  If the lessons learned from the BBC reality show Million Dollar Traders are anything to go by, then it’s highly probable that anyone can create wealth by trading the financial markets.  The show broke many long held myths about the financial world of trading, and how “difficult” trading actually is.  It also highlighted valuable lessons that every wannabe trader should learn in order to survive and succeed in the world of trading.

Million Dollar Traders was in effect a project that explored the hidden potentials of ordinary men and women and how effective they were in playing the market.  The project was conceptualized by Lex Van Dam and Anton Kreil, both former Goldman Sachs traders.  The concept was simple. A group of eight ordinary people belonging to different age groups, employment history, educational background and demographic were given one million dollars capital to finance their trading activities over an eight week period.  The money was provided by Van Dam. Anton Kreil was the supervisor and mentor to the group.  The participants underwent two weeks of intensive training and were then unleashed with the one million dollars, to trade as they wanted too for the two months.  The only goal was to make money by building their portfolios and successfully trading them in the markets.  

The format of the series combined the popular elements of typical modern day reality shows and informational documentaries. Refreshingly, there wasn’t much of the normal overacting that you would associate with most reality shows.  It was presented in a very straightforward manner and in my opinion was edited very well by the production company Century Films. The complexities and intricacies of the financial world of trading were for once explained really well to the mass audience, especially by Kreil.  The production team seemed to strike a perfect balance between giving enough information to the audience so they understood what was happening, and at the same time managing to steer away from “dumbing down” the show too much. Of particular interest was how the show demonstrated that everyone can become their own trader.  

The first episode introduced the wannabe traders and followed them closely as they began building their stock portfolio’s. The second episode tested the mettle of each participant in trading and managing their risks, and the final episode turned dramatic when four of the underperforming traders resigned and walked out of the office in protest. This was in reaction to when Van Dam and Kreil fired one of the traders for chronic underperformance.  At the end, only a soldier, a student and a single mum had survived the eight week ordeal. The three of them together then had two weeks to trade one million dollars between themselves in an attempt to claw back the losses of the original group.  

Incidentally, Million Dollar Traders was filmed when the global financial meltdown occurred in the summer of 2008.  The context provided much stress, excitement, anxiety, and confusion for the novice traders. As U.S. Mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were blowing up, Kreil summed up how difficult the markets were perfectly

“If this happens the U.S. could be over for a generation…, for anyone that has been in the markets for a long time, this is proper scary stuff”.  

Even as a viewer watching you could feel the pressure of the moment.  One contestant broke down in tears for almost ninety minutes. Another one totally blew his investments, which made Van Dam furious. However, some of the contestants did show exceptional skills beyond their experience in managing risks and handling the stresses of trading.  

At the end of the show, the entire team had lost two point four percent of their investments.  But this figure was far better than the performance of most professional traders who lost more than five point five percent on their investments. Van Dam and Kreil showed that a novice trader can perform well in any market versus the professionals. I was certainly a fan of the show and I’m eagerly awaiting the second installment.

In this article, we will continue the financial investing series with the discussion of financial market structures known as debt and equity markets in macroeconomics.

I. Debt markets

Fund borrowers can utilize debt instruments like bonds, debentures or mortgages. These financial instruments are legal document that require the borrower to pay lender certain amount of interest payment until a maturity date. The maturity date is the date the bonds expire Interest is paid at stated intervals until the maturity date, whereupon the borrower repays the principal.

A debt instrument can be

a) Short termInstruments require one year or less for repayment

b) Medium termIt can be repaid between one and ten years.

c) Long term.

It is longer than ten years to repayment.

II. Equity markets

The equity market raises funds by the issue of shares that create ownership in the corporation. There are different types of equities markets

1. Primary markets:

Only sell new issues of a security. Brokerage houses act as intermediaries and underwrite the securities by guaranteeing the price by the corporation or government issuing them. Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are usually pre-sold and not available to the public.

2. Secondary markets:Resell securities that have already issued through the primary market andthey are sold in open market without a price guarantee by stockbrokers and dealers.

3. Exchange and over-the-counter markets:this is the stock markets that arrange for buyers and sellers to interact in one physical location.

4. Over the counter markets (OTC markets):Dealers hold an inventory of securities that they sell over the counter to anyone willing to accept their prices.

III. Money Markets

Money markets trade securities with short maturity dates, usually of one year or less.

1. Government treasury bills (T-bills):

These are debt instruments purchased by corporations, other governments and consumers to finance federal government deficits.

2. Short term government bonds:

These are bonds that have a maturity date of less than three years and carry a fixed interest rate. They are equal in security to a T-Bill.

3. State and municipal short term notes and bonds:These carry interest rates that are determined by the credit rating of their issuer.

4. Banker acceptances:These are bank drafts issued by a firm. They have a stated maturity date, usually 30 to 90 days and can, for a fee, be guaranteed by a bank. They are also virtually risk free.

IV. Capital markets; Capital market instruments include the following:

1. Stocks:These are equity shares in a corporation.

2. Government bonds: These are long term debt instruments that have specific maturity dates, interest rate and are highly liquid.

3.Savings Bonds: These are sold directly to the consumer and always maintain their face value and may be cashed at any time.

4. State or provincial Bonds: These are issued by a state or provincial government.

5. Municipal Bonds: Issued by local governments and often used to finance specific projects.

6. Corporate Bonds: These are used to finance short or long term activities. They have a lower credit rating than government bonds, hence a higher interest rate.

7. Warrants: Warrants are certificates that give an individual the option to buy a stated number of shares at a specified price for a specified period of time.

V. Foreign exchange market

In the foreign exchange market, currency is bought and sold.

Interview with Sharon Bowles on the Financial Crisis


Image by European Parliament
Current economic indicators seem to show a cautious recovery in some of the biggest European economies, such as Germany and France. We asked the new chairwoman of the Committee for Economic and Monetary Affairs, British Liberal Democrat MEP Sharon Bowles, about her perception of where the crisis is going and to what extent financial markets should be regulated.

I can’t help but think that a final straw event that dramatically breaks the backs of world financial markets is on the way. Once that straw arrives there will be little that Ben Bernanke and the Fed can do about it. Extreme unwarranted optimism will turn to black hole pessimism overnight.

So far the stock market has performed extremely well after the massive injections of liquidity engineered by Ben and his good buddy at the US Treasury, Hank Paulson. It’s amazing what billions of Dollars in fat cat bailout money will do. You have to give them both credit for shoring up the crumbling foundations of an overextended financial system. Good work, men. Bravo. Keep up the good work if you can. More challenges are surely on the way.

However, unfortunately, the opening of the Fed’s discount window to non bank financial institutions, cutting fed funds and discount rates, and other heroic measures have done little if anything to address the core problems. Banks and other financial institutions are still sitting upon billions and billions of dollars of sub prime mortgage exposure, credit card debt exposure, student loan exposure, car loan exposure, and the granddaddy of them all, mountains of derivative financial instruments that are marked to only make believe evaluations.

As if all of that weren’t enough the US housing market is still sinking, new home starts are back to early 1980′s levels, oil prices continue to make record highs, gasoline is approaching a US national average price of .00 a gallon, and the short lived “maybe the Fed has stopped cutting rates” rally in the US Dollar seems to be over.

There seems to be on the immediate horizon an entire flock of black swan events that could easily qualify as last straw events. The probability that at least one black swan will descent from the flock and bring grief to financial markets is high.

I strongly expect that all of the recent rosy forecasts about the “worse of the financial crisis appears to be over” are more of a hope and dream than anything else. I don’t know what the event will be to trigger a panic.

Perhaps it will be oil at 0 a barrel, perhaps gasoline at .00 plus will do it, perhaps a few more months of falling home prices, or maybe another 0 billion in bank writedowns, but I’m pretty certain that a final straw event is on the way. Certainly a US air strike against Iran would start a doomsday scenario in financial markets worldwide as oil prices spike to who knows where.

With the last straw event unfolding, whatever it may be, the optimistic forecasts about the stock market and the Dollar will evaporate and a full scale panic will set in. As these things tend to happen all hell will break lose, suddenly, without any ringing of the bell warning. It will be just one event too many piled upon a stack of financial accidents waiting to happen that already boggles the imagination.

Reality will be an unpleasant experience for all of the dreamers, including Secretary of the Treasury Paulson, and Fed Chairman Ben Helicopter Bernanke.

Thankyou US financial markets for being closed today. I love a 3 day weekend. Now here’s Timmy!

The financial market is one of the most complex markets in the world. It is quite safe to say that this market moves the world’s economy, and all countries depend on the trading outcomes of one or more assets on a daily basis. Also, the financial markets of the world cater to all. People from all walks of life can trade in the financial markets in one form or the other. Some are not even aware of it.

This apparent unawareness lies in the fact that people associate the words financial markets only with stock market trading. The stock market is only one aspect, and it shares the same shelf space as the: bond market, commodity market, derivative market, FOREX or the foreign exchange market, money market, OTC or over-the-counter market, real estate market and the spot market.

So, if you are asking if you have what it takes to trade in the financial markets, the answer is very simple yes. When you use the services of a bank, you are already an active participant to the trade. When you buy and exchange foreign currencies for dollars, then this too constitutes to being an active player in the financial market. On a more passive note, you could inadvertently become a key player to the trade when you sell your house for profit while buying a new place at the same time.

However, if you are thinking of other markets to invest in, some of the most profitable ventures now for casual and novice traders are the bond market, commodity market, derivative market, and the FOREX. In fact, there are growing numbers of subscribers utilizing the power of the Internet to do their financial trading in the aforementioned markets for them. So if you are asking again if you, the man-on-the-street (or woman, for that matter) can trade in these particular markets, the answer is still yes, but only if you have:

One: the money to invest (the lowest possible amount is about 0.) Two: you have a computer and Internet access because these are literally your tools of the trade. Three: if you understand how the market moves and how you can earn profits off investing. If you don’t, you can always hire the services of a professional broker instead.

This apparent convenience brought by the World Wide Web is quite educational for people who may otherwise never really learn the workings of the trading market without the need to enroll under a formal degree. There are also software packages that allow the novice trader to practice first-hand how to practice their dealing skills in at least one of the trading markets before they actually engage in any transactions. At the same time, professional and long term investors are making the most of the e-technology to monitor and predict market movement.

Casual and speculative traders are more than welcome in the various schemes of the financial markets. And it is true that for an extremely persevering casual trader, the potential to earn a lot of money is almost limitless. However, it should be noted here that like many business ventures, luck can only play a very small role to earning money. There is a constant need to monitor movements, update information and always forever chasing small profits in order to earn bigger profits. Also, a talent (or shall we say, skill) in knowing when risky trading will pay off can be beneficial.

FINANCIAL/MARKETS

Traders work on the floor of New York Stock Exchange October 8, 2008.

For many years people have enjoyed a flutter on horse racing and other sports by going down to the high street bookies and placing a bet. A lucky few have made a few pounds doing just that.

But for a few years now some people have been betting on the financial markets with spread betting company’s and it is becoming more and more popular. Spread betting has quietly emerged as one of the fastest growing sectors of the entire financial services industry.

The advantages of financial betting

This can all be done from the comfort of your home or any  where in the UK (or the world ) as long as you have access to a phone or the internet.

Although there are many people doing this full time, there is a grate many people doing  it part time and making a lot of TAX FREE MONEY.

You need  very little time for this kind of betting. Most people only devote a few hours a week most just one hour or even half  an hour in the evening.

It is tax free. If you own shares in a company when you sell the shares you will have to pay capital gains tax. But when you spread bet the financial markets you do not own any shares but you are betting on  the shares, and  currently  ( for UK traders ) you do not pay any tax on your winnings.

There are lots of markets you can spread bet on.
As well as individual shares, you can spread bet on Indices, currencies,  interest rates and commodities.

You can start trading with as little as 50p a point (depending on which spread betting company you use). Although most part time traders would stake £1. To £3. A point or £5. To £10. a point you can start with 50p a point and increase your stake as you get more and more experienced.

Leverage is a big attraction to spread betting. It provides investors with a degree of gearing. This means that relatively large amounts of money can be won with a fairly small outlay.

You do not need any experience or knowledge of the financial markets.
A lot of people start in financial betting with no previous experience of the financial markets. It is very easy to pick up what you need to know as you go along. Also, you do not need any qualifications.
Many of the most successful city traders have no qualifications.

You do not need a lot of money to make a lot of money  because you can use leverage.

If you have a computer with access to the internet you will find it invaluable to access financial information but it is not essential for trading the financial markets. To start with all you need is a telephone.
You can do all your trading over the phone with financial bookies and with most financial bookies you can trade on line if you wish, and most have much more than just the trading platform on there websites. Most spread betting companies (financial bookies) also provide you with market news, charts and much more.

Whether you trade by phone or online you will need to open an account with a financial bookie. (you can open more than one account if you wish). There are two different kinds of accounts to choose from. Cash account or credit account. With some financial bookie you can open a cash account with as little as £100. But with some you would need £5,000. So to start with it would be better to open an account with a bookie who only require a small amount to open a trading account. 

Financial spread betting is fast be coming the investment vehicle of choice for many investors and traders. It is a derivative product, meaning that traders trade a price that is derived from the underlying asset, rather than owning the actual asset itself. Dividends are not paid and you do not get any voting rights but there are substantial benefits that underpin why this form of trading the financial markets is so popular.

World Financial Markets Visualisation


Image by antony_mayfield
This art in the lobby of the MIT Media Lab has lamps red or green depending on world financial markets going up or down. Given the week we were in most were red…

Pioneers of fixed odds financial trading is what Betonmarkets are often regarded as. Whether a market will rise or fall, is what is bet on during Fixed odds trading, which is basically a form of financial betting. Making this an interesting alternative to traditional spread betting especially for those who are still learning about the financial markets, at the outset, as opposed to spread betting the potential reward and possible maximum loss is known here.

A binary bet, where one bets on whether an outcome will happen or not, is what, in essence fixed odds financial bets are a form of. Whether the FTSE will touch a specific level within, say, 7 days’ time or whether the FTSE will be trading over a specific level within, say 14 days’ time, is what You could for instance place a trade on. The range of betting possibilities available is very wide, in practice, and these are just two examples out of those. Whether the FTSE 100 will trade within a range for some pre-determined period, is what you can bet on.

Taking now, an example where you believe that the Wall Street Index is likely to fall. Suppose, you pick an one-touch bet for the Wall Street Index to touch 11,550 within 20 days, by logging onto your Betonmarkets account and on the dealing interface. You input the 11,550 index level and select a payout of GBP500 and the system returns you a price of GBP300. The Wall Street Index is currently trading at 11,723.61 so this represents a net profit of around GBP200 which represents a 67% return on your initial investment.

You can either place a low payout, long-term bet based on a steady market or a high payout and short term bet to take advantage of volatile market conditions, is a point to take note of, since there is a lot of flexibility on the parameters to change. So as you can see you will quickly find out that the number of strategies you can use with financial betting are practically endless – you can swing trade or position trade and the adrenaline junkies out there can even day trade! You can even take an index bet to protect against say your long blue chip shares portfolio falling in value if you believe that the market is in for a rough ride. To add to it, this financial trading is all done under the guise of financial betting and profits are basically free of tax.

So if you want an easy way to trade the markets, Betonmarkets would be a possible fit. These products are not complicated to understand and as opposed to spread betting and CFDs, your risk is strictly limited to your stake and thats what seperates them from futures & options. If you wish you can even open a demo account to try the platform out before committing any real monies or use the trading guide provided as a free download to learn more about financial betting in general. In fact the Betonmarkets trading simulator is quite handy even if just to test a trading strategy.

Bet on the markets! is what Betonmarkets refers to speculating on the markets, and to conclude, you may find that financial betting is a perfectly feasible way to take a position on the markets, and unlike most brokers and forex companies out there.

Important to the development of Betonmarkets. Working very well in the industry of financial betting, is something that you would easily realize for the Betonmarkets. Providing various kinds of trading options for the clients to choose, is what it does.
