This means that every attempt to trade in short term patterns should be made only in accordance with a currently developing trend. Otherwise, an unprepared attempt to trade ignoring the current trend and indicator signals is doomed to failure.

That is why some traders advice to avoid formation of a strong opinion. Common sense is also advised to be contested as it works only in case of meeting of certain requirements.

A Revolution in Pairs Trading

During the 1980s, a group of analysts working for Morgan Stanley struck gold with a new strategy called pairs trading. The goal is to match two highly correlated equities, trading one off against the other. When their prices diverge, the trade is entered.

What Are Leveraged and Inverse ETFs

What are Exchange Traded Funds? Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs) are cousins of mutual funds. They correspond to baskets of stock that are bought and sold like stocks. Generally, there is a one day delay after a sell order is placed on a mutual fund; ETF sell orders are executed immediately during hours. During a market crash this difference could be significant. There are other advantages. Except for brokerage fees for trading ETFs, there are none of the maintenance fees associated with mutual funds. Also, there are no loads [penalties] associated with opening a mutual fund account.r

***Stock Market Corrections Are Beautiful Things - Shopping At The Gap

A correction is a beautiful thing, simply the flip side of a rally, big or small. Theoretically, even technically I'm told, corrections adjust equity prices to their actual value or "support levels". In reality, it's much easier than that. Prices go down because of speculator reactions to expectations of news, speculator reactions to actual news, and investor profit taking. The two former "becauses" are more potent than ever before because there is more self-directed money out there than ever before. And therein lies the core of correctional beauty!

***Fundamentals of Golf and Investing: Back to Basics

Is it luck or skill that gets us to the goals and objectives we set for ourselves--- gimmicks and software programs or practice and understanding? How many golfers are still using the putter they started with decades ago at a nine-hole cow pasture? How many of you are still bouncing between investment gurus and hedges in your search for the investment holy grail?

Investment Grade Value Stocks At Highest Levels Ever --- What To Do About It

The IGVSI is a barometer of a small but elite sector of the stock market called Investment Grade Value Stocks. Some IGVSs are included in all averages and indices, but even the well dressed Dow Jones Industrial Average includes several issues that are well below Investment Grade and very few boast an A+ rating. The S & P 500 contains about half the IGVSI selection universe, which tracks a portfolio of less than 400 stocks.

***Managed Closed End Funds --- Solid Income Investments in Liquid Form

A Closed End Fund (CEF) is a publicly traded investment company that invests in a variety of securities such as stocks, bonds, preferred stocks, real estate, mortgages, oil and gas royalties, etc. The variety of sectors, classifications, and geographical representation is every bit as confusing as it is with traditional funds, but the advantages are easy to understand.

***Income Investing: Go Ask Alice

Jefferson Airplane has never, ever, been mistaken for a band of financial advisors, but the White Rabbit lyrics can be incredibly instructional to the generation of investors who experienced the classic first hand --- as a description of their own college days' lifestyle. If only they had heeded the dormouse's call to "feed your head." For the sake of your retirement sanity and security, you just have to make income investing an intellectual exercise --- not an emotional one.

***Understanding Income Investing – Valid Expectations - Part One

I've come to the conclusion that the stock market is an easier medium for investors to understand (to form behavioral expectations about) than the fixed income market. As unlikely as this sounds, experience proves it, irrefutably. Few investors grow to love volatility as I do, but most expect it in the market value of their equity positions. When dealing with income purpose securities however, neither investors nor their advisors are comfortable with any downward movement at all. Most won't consider taking profits when prices increase, but will rush in to accept losses when prices fall.

***Golf and Investing: Optimism, Focus, and Education

You knew it the moment it left the club, that spark at contact when you catch it just right. You look up. It's just reaching the top of its climb--- and heading down right at the pin, a pin positioned left of center on the elevated green, much too close to the water. This could be the one! Four mouths hang open, not a sound. Then whack, the ball strikes low on the stick and disappears; the pin wobbles; the ball is nowhere to be seen---r

***The Power of Financial Coaching

We all know that the best of the best in any industry hire coaches. And the most financially successful have financial advisors. But bring these two disciplines together and magic happens! Financial coaches help you align your values and your money to bring about true fulfillment in your life. Want to take your business to the next level? Or start that business you’ve always dreamed of owning? Or create wealth with true meaning behind it -- not just accumulating money for money’s sake. Do you have aspirations of becoming a philanthropist?

***Rebalancing

After all the ups and downs in the market over the last couple of years, it's important that you review your investment accounts to make sure you are not taking more risk than you should be. We've seen dramatic growth in international and emerging market stocks and stock funds. If you hold these asset classes, it is likely that you have more invested in them right now that you should due to their tremendous growth of late. The emerging markets fund that JATAJ Wealth Management uses, for example, was up over 83.58% in 2009, while the international developed fund we use was up over 39%.

***The Six Most Important Things to Know When Investing Your Hard Earned Dollars

(an except from the book “Finding Financial Fulfillment, for a Life Filled with Money and Meaning,” by Janet Tyler Johnson, CFP®) There is a tremendous amount of information available today on how to manage your investments. I’ve worked in several areas of the financial services industry in my career and would like to acquaint you with some general truths. I’d also like to disclose that I have in the past, and still at present, manage assets for a fee for clients. Let me say from the beginning here that there is no one “best” way to manage your assets.

Asset Allocation -- Why Is It Important To You?

“Asset Allocation” is a term that defines the way you divide your assets between rnvarious asset classes such as stocks, bonds and cash. Why is this important? Well, academics have studied the effects of various asset allocations on your total return and have concluded that over 90% of the return you earn on your investments is determined by your asset allocation. Let me give you an example. If you earned 10% on your investments in any given year, over 90% of that 10% (9%) came from how much you had invested in stocks, how much in bonds and how much in cash.
