Earn Money in 3 Step

Adsense Strategy for Blog

2008-12-29T22:08:00.001+07:00

I might have titled this “Does Adsense work for blogs?” but I suspect it’s based on the blog (I know other US residents whose blogs create enough cash for them to retire someplace where the cost of living is low). For most new blogs, that’s probably not going to happen. Basically Ankesh uses Adsense to pick up extra dollars to pay for additional traffic but relies on other avenues to make better money as he discusses.

From his Blogclout Blog

On this blog, I’ve placed Adsense ads in three places:

1. Just above the Title of all blog posts.

2. In the Sidebar.

3. Above Comments in the single post pages.

Because of that, one of the most common questions I get (especially from beginner bloggers) is: should they place Adsense on their blogs too?

Should You Place Adsense Ads on Your Blog?

My answer:

* Yes place Adsense ads on your blogs.
* But not to make money from it.
* But to increase traffic to your blogs.

Adsense is not a good source to make money. The payout on average is $1 to $1.5 per 1000 page views. So if you receive 10,000 page views a month, you will earn a whooping $10! Maybe good for a pizza. Not something you can retire on.

So why use Adsense at all?

1. Adsense ads are the most “relevant” ads. I like Adsense over other ad networks or manual ad placement only because of that one reason: relevancy.

2. But the main reason to place Adsense (or any other ads) on your blog is: to increase your blog traffic.

Any money I make from Adsense, I pump back into promoting this blog.

Action Summary:

* Place Adsense codes on your blog. But don’t expect to make a lot of money out of it.
* Use the little money you earn from Adsense to promote your blog. (Read this blog regularly and I’ll share with you the best places to pay and promote your blog.)

How Many Site Should You Build to Earn Money?

2008-12-29T22:06:00.001+07:00

How many blog do you have right now? Do you have blog more than 5?

Two basic question when I reading some post at adsense-id forum at adsense sub forum.

Why I’m asking about that? This article for you who monetize your site by google adsense, adbrite, TLA etc. I will present two opinion about ‘how many site should you build to earn money?’.

Opinion A :
Build as many as you can. If you can earn 1$/day from 1 blog, so you must create 20 blog to gain 20$/day and 600$/month.

Opinion B:
Just focus with small amount of blog but optimized it until you can get 20$/day only from one blog.

I will not judge one of those opinion is wrong. But I will write the pro and the cons from each opinion. So its your own decision to choose which one is the best or you.

Pros

Opinion A :
1. You only need to use copy and paste content to build so many blog at one time. It easier than writing unique content like what I do.
2. Some people said, earning will be faster come to your pocket even in small amount than if you focus in one blog. For example, with same blog status (Same age, same post etc), many blog will be earn more than if you only have one blog.

Opinion B:
1. You don’t need many time to post content. Even its difficult to write organic content, but only writing one article and post it will save your time (especially if you Dial Up user like me) .
2. You can make all your post at the top of Search Engine since you get attention with SEO for each post.

Cons

Opinion A :
1. Non original content might make your blog difficult to indexed by Search Engine unless you edit the content.
2. With handle so many site, you might ‘miss’ something. Not optimized tag, not be able to update daily etc.

Opinion B:
1. If you not good in optimizing it, you will not earning much.

Now… its my time to sharing my experiment.

Easy Step to Earn Money is my first blog that build last year (July 07). I’m focus with this blog until I have plan to make Video Blog to collect my Video collection at layartancap.com. And this Video Blog was build at August 07 and become useless blog since I only post base on my favorite video that time. If I’m lazy it neglected. lol No adsense at this site since video will break terms if it not come from youtube.

At first October 2007, I have idea to created Indonesian cosplayer Data and put it at some blog. So I created a blog that not only contain Indonesian photo but world wide cosplayer photo. Its surprising Sexy Cosplay Photo Blog is booming. I never promote this blog except to Indonesian cosplay forum, but majority visitor come from Search Engine.

Remember that Easy Step to Earn Money actually for SEO and Money making blog. But if I’m hiatus, my sister posting at this blog about her favorite game (She doesnt want to post anything about SEO). And surprisingly, SIMS 2 and Ghost Online reach the most viewed article. Some of my senpai suggest me to remove those category from my blog since it distract my blog topic. And then my sister suggest me to make BEST GAME REVIEW BLOG at June 08 and removing one by one my game post to that blog. Since I dont understand about game like my sister and now she hiatus, that blog neglected. lol

I still have another 2 MFA blog. But since it only my own hobbies blog and not optimized yet, I will not write here. Both site only for testing Opinion A. Weheheheh

I only focused with 2 blog. Easy Step to Earn Money and Sexy Cosplay Photo Blog. I can earn between 150$-250$/month only from affiliate. Another site only give me less than 10$/month.

So its your decision to create many blog to earn more money, or optimizing one to five blog to gain high profit.

How to Break Through SEO Frustation

2008-12-29T22:03:00.001+07:00

Content

It’s all about the text.

Remember that optimization is all about the text. Search engines are text driven but there are still some basic HTML tags to keep in mind (i.e., h1, h2, meta tags, title tag). SEO helps improve search engine results but does not guarantee top ratings.

Patience and realistic goals will keep the frustrations low. Search engines have to crawl a site to determine what a site is about. This takes time, usually about a month, before crawls and indexing are completed by the various search engine spiders.

Take time to think (a lot) about the purpose of the website. Write down a lot of stuff in a word processing program even if it sounds silly at first. Then edit what you wrote. Edit some more, get some feedback and then start working on the keywords and keyphrases that identify the unique quality of your website.

Keywords and Keyphrases

Keywords used to be easy. Those days are gone. Keywords are highly competitive. Using two-word or three-word, maybe even four-word, phrases makes optimization less frustrating. A keyword phrase (keyphrase) helps identify the uniqueness of a website.

The keyword "game" will generate about 1 billion(!) results. The keyphrase "card game" will generate about 50 million results. That is a difference of approximately 950 million. The keyphrase "magic card game" will generate about four-million results. Time will need to be spent finding unique keyphrases but the benefits of narrowing the results, with multi-word phrases, provides a better chance of being noticed.

Stocks: What to Watch for in the Recession

2008-11-25T20:15:00.000+07:00

Don't be surprised to see a new wave of consolidation as stronger players snap up weaker ones

Eventually, the crisis will end. That has investors contemplating what a post-crisis stock market might look like.

Predictions of a serious economic downturn are everywhere, and not just for the U.S. but for the entire globe. If the credit crunch lasts long enough, it could be the first truly deep economic pullback in a generation or longer.

Asked about the future, many professional investors and fund managers say they're far too preoccupied with the current crisis to make any long-term bets. That's why many refuse to buy stocks—the unprecedented global credit crunch has made solid predictions all but impossible.

"I'm going to wait until the dust settles," says William Rutherford, president of Rutherford Investment Management.

Glimpsing the Future

Still, investors will eventually have to picture what the new economic order will look like.

Arguably, a credit crunch or recession makes all of us losers. But even in a severe recession, some businesses survive and prosper—even if only on a relative basis, and even if they take years to muddle through.

"There's always going to be a winner out there," says Ryan Crane, chief investment officer at Stephens Investment Management Group.

Here are five trends that may emerge whenever the crisis finally ends:

1. The strong eat the weak.

In the financial sector, failing banks and brokerage houses have already been gobbled up by safer (if not exactly strong) rivals. Bank of America (BAC) bought up mortgage giant Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch (MER). JPMorgan Chase (JPM) absorbed Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual. Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC) battled over buying Wachovia (WB).

If the economic downturn is bad enough, expect the same trend to hit other industries, as strong players either buy or take market share from companies in financial trouble.

2. Fast-growing companies might not get the funding they need.

The credit crunch is cutting off the financing that helps businesses grow and create new jobs, says Michele Gambera, chief economist at Ibbotson Associates, a unit of Morningstar (MORN). Companies can't float issues on the stock market or sell bonds—investors won't buy them. And they can't borrow from banks, which are too panicked to lend.

If those conditions persist, it means trouble for new growth companies. "Who is going to make the next Google (GOOG) if there is no money to borrow to build the next Google campus?" Gambera asks.

3. Cash is king.

In a credit-starved economy, the advantage goes to companies with strong cash flow. Gambera cites cigarette maker Altria Group (MO) as a company famous for its strong cash generation.

A healthy balance sheet—without much debt—will also be crucial. "Given the fact that credit markets have totally deteriorated, it's a question of survival," says Gary Wolfer, chief economist at Univest Wealth Management (UVSP).

He believes survivors could include consumer staples and health-care companies that sell products their customers need and that generate lots of cash in the process. He cites Procter & Gamble (PG) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ).

4. Don't bet on the U.S. consumer.

Wolfer predicts "an awful Christmas" for retailers. But for consumer-oriented companies, the problems aren't just short term.

For a generation, the U.S. has created a "quadruple deficit," Gambera says: a government deficit and a trade deficit, along with heavy borrowing by the financial sector and, finally, by U.S. households. Few expect Americans' reliance on credit cards and cheap home mortgages to continue.

In fact, many commentators see a fundamental shift in the U.S. economy, away from a reliance on both debt and the overstretched American consumer. "The era of the consumer-based U.S. economy is coming to an end," Wolfer says. "Our whole economy is going to be much more export-driven."

5. Don't bet on the global infrastructure boom, either.

Wolfer and others may be pinning their long-term hopes for the U.S. on exports. But there are lots of worries about one force driving global demand for U.S. goods: the building boom in many emerging economies around the world.

In a global slowdown, many are betting that demand for capital equipment, commodities, and energy are going to fall off.

Emerging economies, such as China and India, may not slip into recession, but their rapid growth will probably slow, says Chad Deakins, portfolio manager of the RidgeWorth International Equity Fund. "There are going to be different problems each country is going to have to address, [problems that will] distract them from plans to build infrastructure," he says.

Five years from now, however, Deakins expect emerging countries to start building again. "There are a lot of people in the world who want a higher standard of living and are willing to work for it," he says. "That's capitalism."

Internet Money - Do Not Miss Your Share And Get Into It Now

2008-11-24T21:19:00.001+07:00

As the use of the internet increases, there are more and more ways being promoted to get internet money. Choose from some of these options to find the one that fits you best.

Blogging

A business blog is a relatively recent way of generating internet money. If you have a business web site, you can use a business blog to attract traffic to the web site easily and quickly. Thus, your business site will have improved page rankings from the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN. When the page rankings improve, the search query results page returns the link to the page in a higher position than previously. Thus, it may appear on the first page of results rather than so far down the list that the searcher will take the time to scroll through other links and find your link.

EBay

Many people make use of online auctions such as EBay in order to earn internet money easily and quickly. You can sell products such as grandma’s antique kerosene lantern, but you can also sell information that will be of value to others. There are many related money avenues when you choose online auctions. You can open an EBay store to help others prepare, sell and ship their auction items. You can serve as a specialist in marketing and selling certain types of items for others. As an example, you may specialize in the sale of vehicles online.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is another method of gaining internet money easily. You form a partnership or affiliation with another person or business and help to market their product. For your efforts, you get a percentage of the revenue earned, or possibly a flat fee for each customer you sent toward the parent site. With affiliate marketing, you don’t have to set up the infrastructure of the business yourself. Often you just need to add a few lines of coding to your own web site. Other marketers use a ‘canned’ web page to promote the affiliate’s product.

Virtual Assistant

A virtual assistant is another way to take advantage of the opportunities to get internet money for yourself. A virtual assistant performs tasks of the same type as an employee with the same role. The difference is that the virtual assistant performs such tasks online. The duties involved may range from manning a customer service line to monitoring a forum or searching out good links for the boss. Payment may be through electronic means directly, or by a percentage of sales revenue or by other mutually agreeable formulas. Think executive assistant or secretary and you may gain a picture of the responsibilities of a virtual assistant.

Online Store

An online store can be another way to get internet money flowing into your bank account. If you already have a product to sell, you are ahead of the process, but even without a product, you can open an internet store and sell products that are produced by other people. If you wish, you can even arrange to have the product drop shipped to your customers so that you don’t have to deal with packaging and shipping tasks. The products that you sell can be tangible goods or information.

Make Money Online - How to Get JV Partners

2008-11-24T21:17:00.000+07:00

Before I begin I first want to provide you a quick definition of JV. JV means joint venture partner. So if you have been hearing that word being thrown around like a hot potato you can consider yourself informed!

When you have a product to sell online, there are many different tactics you can use to help get customers. One great way is through Joint Venturing. A Joint Venture (or again, simply a JV) is when you partner with a person to help sell your product(s). While it is a great idea, it can sometimes be hard to find JVs. So here are some great ideas on how to find them.

The way you go about trying to find JVs actually depends on how competitive your niche is. If you’re in a niche that’s saturated (such as the Internet Marketing niche) then you will have to go about things a little differently. However, if you are in another niche that’s much less competitive then finding JVs shouldn’t be too difficult.

For the less competitive niches, all you really have to do is ask people if they’d like to JV with you. However, you have to ask the right way. The correct approach to asking a JV can be the difference between a 10,000 dollar launch or a 10.00 launch.

So you can do a Google search on your niche. Then write down the sites that come-up. Next try to find out a name for each site so that you can address each email personally. Then email the person who runs the site.

Introduce yourself and then tell them something you like about their site. Explain why you found it interesting and that you are interested in learning more. Here is the MOST critical point in seeking a JV. Ask them if there is something you can do to help the person out. Whether it is with graphics, writing, whatever you can do provide it shows good faith. Finally, if you have done the other things properly you will be able to tell them a little bit about your product and ask them if they’d like to hear more about a Joint Venture with you.

That’s how to get JVs in niches that are not too competitive. However, you need to take a slightly different approach on highly competitive niches.

In highly competitive niches you need to make yourself stand out from everyone else. There are hundreds of people who are looking for JVs in some of the most popular niches. So to stand out you want to approach potential JV partners and ask if you can do something for them. Whatever you might be good at, offer to help them with something that you are good at (creating a script, writing a blog, etc.).

Then once you do something for them, they’ll feel like they should so something in return. This is called the theory of reciprocity. What they may decide is something in return just might be a JV with you. Or, you might just develop a long-term relationship with a few people that will pay dividends for you far into the future (beyond just one Joint Venture).

Gathering JV’s can be a difficult process. It really depends on whether the niche is popular or not. For non-competitive niches all you really have to do is ask for people but for competitive niches you have to make sure you stand out to people who you want to JV with you. These partnerships are a critical component of being successful with your online business.

Choosing the Right Green ETFs

2008-11-23T16:04:00.000+07:00

by David Jackson

It's as compelling an investment theme as you'll ever come across. With global energy demand rising sharply, oil prices at all time highs, climate change concerns growing, and new technologies enabling more efficient power extraction from natural resources, the case has never been better for investing in alternative energy companies that will help us overcome our oil and carbon-emission addictions.

But try to pick a winner from the dozens of "green energy" stocks that have emerged in the past few years and you quickly find yourself slipping from confident investor to shaky speculator. Who's to say which of the upstart, publicly traded solar energy companies, for example, will produce the efficiency breakthroughs that field has anticipated for over 20 years?

ETFs to the Rescue

For investors who are sold on the alternative energy theme but hesitant to stock-pick, the recent profusion of exchange traded funds (ETFs) couldn't have come at a better time. These low-fee funds offer diversification by holding a basket of stocks that follow a particular index, and may have tax advantages over traditional mutual funds.

There are currently six alternative energy ETFs to consider. Note the significant differences -- in investment focus, international exposure, market cap, and expenses -- in each fund's holdings:

1. PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy Portfolio (PBW)

Listed in March 2005, PBW was the first alternative energy ETF and tracks the WilderHill Clean Energy Index. The fund holds 40 U.S.-listed companies that produce green or renewable energy and related technologies. It's focused on small-caps (69 percent weighting) and is dominated by information technology companies (41 percent of holdings). The ETF charges a 0.60 percent annual fee that will weigh on gains. The relatively volatile PBW has returned a 22.5 percent gain since its inception, but dropped just over 6 percent in the past year. See PBW's full holdings.

2. PowerShares WilderHill Progressive Energy Portfolio (PUW)

This ETF differs from PBW by focusing on companies providing "transitional energy bridge technologies" -- that is, technologies that improve the use of existing fossil fuels, rather than entire new approaches. PUW also has heavy small-cap exposure (49 percent), but offers relatively diversified sector exposure: the largest single sector, industrials, constitutes just 28 percent of the fund. Since its inception in October 2006, PUW has returned a strong 18.7 percent; it also charges a steep 0.60 percent yearly fee.

3. PowerShares Cleantech Portfolio (PZD)

This ETF tracks the Cleantech Index, which aims to capture the potential for companies that "produce any knowledge-based product or service that improves operation, performance, productivity, or efficiency, while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste, or pollution." PZD is heavily weighted toward industrials (59 percent), with 63 percent of its holdings in small-caps; like the other PowerShares ETFs, it has a 0.6 percent expense ratio. See PZD's full holdings.

4. Claymore/LGA Green ETF (GRN)

GRN launched in December 2006, and follows the Light Green Eco*Index, which is comprised of about 200 stocks that are in some way active in alternative energy. Yet a quick look at GRN's holdings reveals the world of difference between this and the PowerShares ETFs. Top holdings of GRN read more like the S&P 500: Mobil, Citigroup, and General Electric -- mega-cap corporations that allocate a certain (no doubt, growing) portion of their investment or R&D in green technologies, but are hardly "pure plays" on the alternative energy theme. GRN has a 0.6 percent yearly fee.

5. Van Eck Global Alternative Energy ETF (GEX)

Launched on May 9, 2007, GEX tracks the Ardour Global Index (Extra Liquid), which is composed of stocks in 30 publicly traded companies that obtain at least half of their revenue from alternative energy activity. GEX is unique among its peers in two key ways: emphasizing large-cap exposure (31 percent of the fund's holdings; small-caps are only 26.9 percent), and international reach (European companies constitute 47.1 percent of the fund, China/Japan 11.1 percent, and U.S. 41.8 percent). GEX charges 0.65 percent annually.

6. First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge ETF (QCLN)

Launched in February 2007, QCLN follows the NASDAQ Clean Edge U.S. Liquid Series Index, which captures five subsectors of the alternative energy industry: renewable power generation, renewable fuels, energy storage and conversion, energy intelligence, and advanced energy-related materials. The 44 stocks in this basket are almost entirely small-caps. QCLN charges a 0.68 percent annual fee.

Building a Green Portfolio

How should you fit these ETFs into your portfolio? One option is to build a "core portfolio" of broad index ETFs using Seeking Alpha's guide to building portfolios with ETFs and then add one or more of these narrower ETFs to "tilt" your portfolio to green investing.

When Pessimism Prevails, It's Time to Get Rich

2008-11-23T16:00:00.000+07:00

If you're serious about getting rich, now is the time. We've entered a period of mass-produced pessimism, when bad news is everywhere, and the best time to invest is when optimists become pessimists.

The Weird Turn Pro

Journalist Hunter S. Thompson used to say, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." That's true in investing, too: At the height of every market boom, the weird turn into professional investors. In 2000, millions of people became professional day traders or investors in dotcom companies. Mutual funds had a record net inflow of $309 billion that year, too.

In an earlier column, Experts stated that it was time to sell all nonperforming real estate. My market indicator? A checkout girl at the local supermarket, who handed me her real estate agent card. She was quitting her job to become a real estate professional.

As a bull market turns into a bear market, the new pros turn into optimists, hoping and praying the bear market will become a bull and save them. But as the market remains bearish, the optimists become pessimists, quit the profession, and return to their day jobs. This is when the real professional investors re-enter the market. That's what's happening now.

Pessimism vs. Realism

In 1987, the United States experienced one of the biggest stock market crashes in history. The savings and loan industry was wiped out. Real estate crashed and a federal bailout entity known as the Resolution Trust Corporation, or the RTC, was formed. The RTC took from the financially foolish and gave to the financially smart.

Right on schedule 20 years later, Dow Industrials and Transports struck their last highs together in July 2007. Since then, nothing but bad news has emerged. In August 2007 a new word surfaced in the world's vocabulary: subprime. That October, Experts appeared on a number of television shows and was asked when the market would turn and head back up. My reply was, "This is a bad one. The worst is yet to come."

Many of the optimistic TV hosts got angry with me, asking me why Experts was so pessimistic. Experts told them, "The difference between an optimist and a pessimist is that a pessimist is a realist. Experts just being realistic."

As we all know, things only got worse in early 2008, with the demise of Bear Stearns and the Federal Reserve stepping in to save investment bankers. In February, many of those optimistic TV (and print) reporters became pessimists -- and when journalists become pessimists, the public follows. By March, mutual funds had a net outflow of $45 billion as investors fled the market.

Surviving the Bad Times

Back in 1987, as savings and loans closed and investors' stock and real estate portfolios were wiped out. Many people were depressed and hiding from the truth. The following year, Experts said, "Now is the time for you to begin investing."

The period from 1987 to 1995 was a rough one, even for the rich. In his book "The Art of the Comeback," my friend Donald Trump writes about being a billion dollars down at the time. Rather than give up, he kept on fighting to survive.

Two-Year Warning

Experts believe we're through the worst of the current bust. Experts know there will be more aftershocks, and the news will continue to be pessimistic for at least two more years, possibly until the summer of 2010.

But the upside to this is that it gives us at least two years to do our market research and find the next big stock or real estate bargain. Before buying, Experts strongly suggest you study, read books, and take courses on your asset of choice. If your choice is stocks, take a course on stocks or options. If it's real estate, take a course on real estate. Now is the time to learn; not only will you know more than the average person and be in a good position when the market turns, but you'll also meet people with a similar mindset.

You have about two years to get into position. Opportunities this big don't come along often, so this is your time to get rich.

Climbing Bulls, Flying Bears

Are Experts optimistic for the long-term? Absolutely not. Experts still believe we're due for the mother of all market crashes, and that the U.S. economy is running on borrowed time -- and Experts do mean borrowed. Experts think most baby boomers are in serious financial trouble, and that oil will climb above $200 a barrel. Inflation will also increase, causing more pain for the poor and middle class.

The Fed is flooding the market with nearly a trillion dollars of liquidity, which is why Experts believe gold under $1,200 an ounce and silver under $30 an ounce are bargains. Gold and silver should peak and decline before 2020, completing two 20-year cycles. My exit is to sell silver around 2015. Experts plan to hold onto gold, income-producing real estate, oil wells, and stocks.

Most of us know the bull climbs slowly up the stairs, but the bear jumps out the window. Experts believe the bull is still climbing the stairs, and the bear hasn't jumped yet. But rest assured that it will.

Crisis

2008-11-03T21:37:00.000+07:00

A crisis is a close encounter of the third kind.

Crises refine life. In them you discover what you are.

I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a "will to renewal." This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of "crises" -- of rupture, repudiation and resistance. When there is no "crisis," there is stagnation, petrifaction and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.

Every crisis offers you extra desired power.

Watch out for emergencies. They are your big chance.

The Word - Inspiration, Motivation

2008-11-03T21:19:00.000+07:00

Never make a defense or apology before you are accused.

An apology? Bah! Disgusting! Cowardly! Beneath the dignity of any gentleman, however wrong he might be.

The little reed, bending to the force of the wind, soon stood upright again when the storm had passed over.

Adventure is not outside man; it is within.

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. Don't let yourself indulge in vain wishes.

If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.

Great things are only possible with outrageous requests.

Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you.

You create your opportunities by asking for them.

The shortest distance between two points is under construction.

The greatest potential for control the ends to exist at the point where action takes place.

For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.

It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you don't change your beliefs, your life will be like this forever. Is that good news?

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

When we blame, we give away our power.

I praise loudly, I blame softly.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.

Lessons Learned

2008-06-08T11:09:00.000+07:00

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

“It was great, Dad.”

“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.

“Oh yeah,” said the son.

“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered: “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

“We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.

“We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs.

“We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”

The boy’s father was speechless.

Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

The Power Within

2008-05-23T14:49:00.000+07:00

You are stronger than you think,

Remember to stand tall.

Every challenge in your life helps you to grow.

Every problem you encounter,

Strenghtens your mind and soul.

Every trouble you overcome,

Increase your understanding of life.

When all your troubles weight heavily on your shoulders,

Remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall,

Because you can never given more than you can handle

And you are stronger than you think

It Couldn't Be Done

2008-05-23T14:36:00.000+07:00

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,

But he with a chuckle replied,

That "maybe it couldn't", but he would be one,

Who wouldn'r say so till he tried.

So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin on his face.

If he worried he hide it.

He started to sing as he tackled the thing,

That couldn't be done, and did it.

Somebody scoffed : Oh, you'll never do that;

At least no one has ever do it;

But he took off his coat and took off his hat,

And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.

With a lift of his chin and abit of a grin.

Without any doubting or guid it,

He started to sing as he tackled the thing,

That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done.

There are thousands to prophesy failure.

There area thousand to point out to you, one by one,

The dangers that wait to assail you.

But just buckle in with a bit of a grin.

Just take off your coat and go for it.

Just start to sing as you tackled the thing;

That "cannot be done" and you'll do it.

By Edgar A. Guest

A Smile

2008-05-23T14:27:00.000+07:00

It cost nothing, but creates much.

It enriches those who receive, without improverishing those who give.

It happens in a flash and the memory of it lasts forever.

None are so rich they can get along without it and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.

It creates happiness in the home, fasters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.

It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature's best antidote for trouble.

Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away!

If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of yours.

For, nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none to give.

Promise Yourself

2008-05-23T14:18:00.000+07:00

Promise yourself to be strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, work for the best, and expect only the best.

To be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achevements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living person you meet a smile.

To spend so much time improving yourself that you have no time left to critize others.

To be too big for worry and too noble for anger, and too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Failure

2008-04-02T10:14:00.001+07:00

If you don't at first succeed, failure must be your thing.

Failure is an attitude before it's an outcome.

If you can't handle failure, you can't handle success.

People take failure personally because they take success personally.

Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

Failure is either a stepping stone or tombstone.

Failure breeds innovation not defeat.

There is no failure, only feedback.

Test fast, fail fast, adjust fast.

Failure is the cost of achievement.

Learn to laugh at your self, everyone else does.

Failure is an opportunity to begin again with more intelligently.

I tried and failed, i tried again and SUCCEEDED.

Cool Motivation Words

2008-04-02T09:57:00.000+07:00

All Blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change YOU.

The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid more than he does.

Success is not an accident, rather it is the result of the decisions we make daily.

The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that create them.

I don't dream at night, I dream all day. I dream for a living.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the movement you stop trying.

Procrastination is like a credit card, it's a lot of fun until you get the bill.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you, be careful the friends you choose for, you will become like them.

The weak can never forgive. Foregiveness is attribute of the strong.

If you know what you're doing, love what you are doing, and believe in what you're doing, you are on your way to create your own success.

Opportunity only shows up one time if you wait, but several times if you hustle.

Are Stock Options Risky?

2008-02-25T19:45:00.000+07:00

Investing in stock option could a good way to lower your risk element in stocks. This is one of the strategy that is adopted by the stock market experts who has made millions in the stock market. Stock option can actually thus, lower your risk. In a given situation you would realize that investing in stock option is a far less risky proposition as compared to trading in stocks.

For example, if you thought Microsoft was going to increase in value over the two months after release of Vista, you could have either bought the stock for around $29.50 per share or bought a $30 strike price Jan ‘07 call for $0.70 per share. Since a stock option covers 100 shares, the option cost is $70.00 to control 100 shares versus $2950.00 to own 100 shares. If the stock goes up to $30.00 per share the option will be at about $0.92. You can calculate this using a stock option pricing calculator. That small movement in the stock results in a 30% return on the stock option and a 1.7% return on the stock. This is called leverage and is a hallmark of stock options trading. On the third Friday in Jan ‘07, Microsoft was up to $31.11 per share.

Using your call, you can buy the stock at $30.00 or you can just sell your call for $1.11 per share, generating a 58% return on the stock option. What if Microsoft drops? If it drops by $5.00 to $24.50, you have lost $5.00 per share on the stock but the most you loose on call stock option is the amount you paid or $0.70 per share. That is much less risk than owning stock if you are wrong and the stock goes down.

Investing in stock option and making the right decision can actually get you a profit irrespective of the direction of the stock movement. You could use direction neutral stock trading option.

On the whole, you would observe that based on available facts it is seen that stock trading has far greater risk as compared to investing in stock option. Stock option provides you tremendous flexibility and let you diversify. However, stock option has a limitation. They are deals that are made for a specific time frame and thus, the expiry of the time period puts an end to all the good times. They have a time limitation. The stock option could be for any specific time period ranging from 1 day to 3 years however, your predictions have to come right within this time frame.

Options - Understanding the Basics

2008-02-25T19:41:00.000+07:00

From Ken Little,

An option is a contract that gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a security at a particular price on or before a certain date.

Investors buy and sell options just like stocks. There are two basic types of options:
The call option
The put option
The Call Option
The call option is the right to buy the underlying security at a certain price on or before a certain date.

You would buy a call option if you anticipated the price of the underlying security was going to rise before the option reached expiration. For example:

Company XYZ in trading at $25 per share and you believe the stock is headed up. You could buy shares of the stock or you could buy a call option. Say a call option giving you the right, but not the obligation, to buy 100 shares of XYZ anytime in the next 90 days for $26 per share could be purchased for $100.

If you are right and the stock rises to $30 per share before option expires, you could exercise your option and buy 100 shares at $26 per share and sell them for an immediate profit of $3 per share ($30 - $26 = $4 - $1 for the option = $3 per share profit).

You could also simply trade the option for a profit without actually buying the shares of stock.

If you had figured wrong and the stock went nowhere or fell from the original $26 per share to $24 per share, you would simply let the option expire and suffer only a $100 loss (the cost of the option).
The Put Option
The put option is the right to sell the underlying security at a certain price on or before a certain date.

You would buy a put option if you felt the price of a stock was going down before the option reached expiration.

Continuing with out XYZ example, if you felt the stock was about to tank from $25 per share, the only way to profit would be to short the stock, which can be a risky move if you’re wrong.

You could purchase a put option at $24 per share for $100 (or $1 per share), which would give you the right to sell 100 shares of XYZ at $24 per share.

If the stock drops to $19 per share, you could, in theory buy 100 shares on the open market for $19 per share, then exercise you put option giving you the right to sell the stock at $24 per share – making a $5 per share profit, minus the option cost.

As a practical matter, you would trade your put option, which would now be worth something close to $5 per share or $500.
Basic Option Facts
Here are some quick facts about options:
Options are quoted in per share prices, but only sold in 100 share lots. For example, a call option might be quoted at $2, but you would pay $200 because options are always sold in 100-share lots.
The Strike Price (or Exercise Price) is price the underlying security can be bought or sold for as detailed in the option contract. You identify options by the month they expire, whether they are a put or call option, and the strike price. For example, an “XYZ April25 Call” would be a call option on XYZ stock with a strike price of 25 that expires in April.
The Expiration Date is the month in which the option expires. All options expire on the third Friday of the month unless that Friday is a holiday, then the options expire on Thursday.
Conclusion
This quick overview of options gives you an idea of what they are all about, but it is the very tip of the proverbial iceberg. Options are not for the beginning investor, but do offer advanced traders another tool for their investment arsenal.

Note: All option quotes in this article are for illustration only. Pricing of options is a complicated process involving many factors.

Forex Trading Tips

2008-02-07T13:12:00.000+07:00

Tip 1. Gamblers go to casino. All unproved, spontaneous actions in Forex trading — are a part of pure gambling.
Any attempt to trade without analysis and studying the market is equal to a game. Game is fun except when you are losing real money...

Tip 2. Never invest money into a real Forex account until you practice on a Forex Demo account!
Allow at least 2 month for demo trading. Consider this: 90% of beginners fail to succeed in the real money market only because of lack of knowledge, practice and discipline. Those remaining 10% of successful traders had been sharpening and shaping their skills on demo accounts for years before entering the real market.
A good demo account to start practicing with could be, for example, FXGame from Oanda.

Tip 3. Go with the trend!
Trend is your friend. Trade with the trend to maximize your chances to succeed. Trading against the trend won't "kill" a trader, but will definitely require more attention, nerves and sharp skills to rich trading goals.

Tip 4. Always take a look at the time frame bigger than the one you've chosen to trade in.
It gives the bigger picture of market price movements and so helps to clearly define the trend. For example, when trading in 15 minute time frame, take a look at 1 hour chart; trading hourly would require obtaining a picture of daily, weekly price movements.

If a trend is hard to spot — choose a bigger time frame. Up and down market patterns are always present. Always make sure you know the dominant trend, unless you are a scalper. Scalpers have no need to spend their time studying big trends, what's happening in the market here and now (during 5-10 minute time frame) should be of only importance to a Forex scalper.

Tip 5. Never risk more than 2-3% of the total trading account.
One important difference between a successful and an unsuccessful trader is that the first is able to survive under unfavorable conditions on the market, while an unsuccessful trader will blow up his account after 5-10 unprofitable trades in the row.

Even with the same trading system 2 traders can get opposite results in the long run. The difference will be again in money management approach. To introduce you to money management, let's get one fact: losing 50% of total account requires making 100% return from the rest of money just to restore the original balance.

Tip 6. Put emotions down. Trade calm.
Don't try to revenge after losing the trade. Don't be greedy by adding lots of positions when winning.
Overreaction blocks clear thinking and as a result will cost you money. Overtrading can shake your money management and dramatically increase trading risks.

Tip 7. Choose the time frame that is right for you.
Choosing wise means that you are comfortable and have time enough to analyze the market, place and close orders etc. Some people can't wait for hours for the price to make a move, they like action and therefore prefer smaller time frames. On the contrary, for others 10-15 minutes is a hustle to be able to make the right decision.

Tip 8. Not trading or standing aside is a position.
When in doubt — stay out. If it is not clear where the market will move — don't trade. In this case saving present capital is and absolutely better choice than risking and losing money.

Tip 9. Learn to use protective stops. Respect them and don't move.
Hoping that market will turn in your direction is a very delusive hope. By moving a stop loss further a trader increases his chances to end up with much bigger loss.

When holding to a losing trade too long, and even if funds permit, traders as a rule are very reluctant to accept big losses, thus often continue "hoping for best". In the mean time invested money is stuck in the open trade for unknown period of time (weeks and even months) and cannot be used for opening new positions. Not working money — dead money. Also this will result in constant interest payments for holding open positions.

Tip 10. "Keep it simple, stupid" — applies to indicators, signals and trading strategies.
Too much information will create a controversial picture of where to trade and when not to. To avoid lots of confusion create a simple but working method of trading Forex.

Tip 11. Think about risk/reward ratio before entering each trade.
How much money can you lose in this trade? How much can you gain? Now, make a decision if the trade is worth entering.
Example: if trader is looking for possible 35 pips gain and possible 25 pips of loss, such conditions are not worth trading. Compare it with the situation when a trader has 100-120 pips of potential gain and only 10-20 pips of possible loss. This is the trade to open!

Tip 12. Never add positions to a losing trade. Do add positions when the trade has proven to be profitable.
Don't allow a couple of losing trades in a row become a snowball of losing trades. When it is obviously not a good day, turn the monitor off. Often not trading for one day can help to break a chain of consecutive losses. Trying to get revenge can often make things worse.

Tip 13. Let your profits run.
Let your position be open for as long as the market wishes to reward you. Of course, for this traders need a good exit strategy, otherwise they risk to give all profits back...
Running two or more open trades gives an option to close some positions earlier and keep others running for higher profits.

Tip 14. Cut your losses short.
It's better to finish unprofitable trade quickly than wait for the situation to get worse. Don't put a stop loss too far — it's your money you risk. Better calculate the best spot to enter when a potential loss would be minimized. Again: respect your stop and don't move it "cherishing hopes".

Tip 15. Trade currency pairs in respect to their active market hours.
Learn about overlapping market hours: when two markets are open and highest volume of trades is conducted.
For example, Australian and Japanese trading sessions are overlapped from 8pm to 1 am EST. At that time trader can successfully trade AUD/JPY currency pair.

Tip 16. Choose the right day to trade.
This recomendation is often wrongly taken as an optional thing, because everyone knows that Forex market is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Yet, choosing the time to trade can make a difference between successful and hopeless trading.

It's proved and highly recommended not to trade on Mondays, when the market has recently awaken and is making first "probation steps" to form a new or confirm a current trend; and on Fridays afternoon, during the huge volume of closing trades. The best days to trade are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Tip 17. Learn about Fibonacci levels and how to use them for trading.
Fibonacci can be very helpful in trading, even partially using the study, for example, to determine the best exit, can bring traders to a new edge of trading.

Tip 18. Always ensure that a signaling bar/candle on the chart is fully formed and closed before you enter a trade.
A golden rule of trading: "Always trade what you see, not what you would like to see" is the best explanation here.

Tip 19. If you ask for someone else's advice as about how and when to trade
in other words, choose to rely on live trading signals from other traders, make sure you do it for your benefit, not for disaster. If you use such signals to discover how other traders do analysis and study on the price — you are on the right track and soon you'll be able to do analysis yourself.
But if you're just blindly following recommendations and your only task is to push the correct button... think again.

Tip 20. Using a highly leveraged account comes at a cost.
It will, of course, give a trader more financial gear to trade, and also trader's broker will be happy as it will mean higher spread income for him. On the other side a trader signs up for additional risks that multiply with higher leverage in a "friendly tight" proportion.

Tip 21. Learn to measure trading success by the end of the day, week and then month and year.
Do not judge about your trading success on a single trade. To be successful traders don't need to win every trade, they also don't become rich in one trade — they need to be profitable in a long run.

Tip 22. There is no such thing as a secret approach to understanding the market.
Take the time to develop a solid trading system and find out that the secret to trading success lies in hard work and constant learning.

10 ways to make money

2008-02-05T21:05:00.000+07:00

If you're looking at ways to supplement your income, here are some options other than working behind a bar or stacking shelves at a supermarket.

1 Police ID parades
Taking part in identity parades is easy money - you just have to stand there - but work is irregular and may depend on your appearance. Many police forces now use video line-ups but you can still get a one-off fee of £10 for being filmed.

Average pay: £10 for the first hour, £5 for every hour after that.
More info: ask at your local police station.

2 TV/film extra
Production companies need people of all shapes and sizes and if you're over 18 but look younger you'll be especially popular, as you can save them the cost of a chaperone for a child actor. Don't expect to meet the stars, though.

Average pay: £80 a day, with bonuses for things like providing your own costume or doing a 'walk-on'. Overtime is paid at around £11 an hour.
More info: there's a list of extras agencies at UK Screen

3 Campus brand manager
All sorts of companies hire students to promote them on campus, from film distributors to sportswear firms. You'll get plenty of opportunities to demonstrate your business acumen, but the work can be time-consuming.

Average pay: £300 a term, though some firms only pay on a commission basis.
More info: look for notices on student job boards.

4 Trading on eBay
'The World's Online Marketplace' has one million registered users in the UK alone so there's bound to be someone who'll pay for anything you have to sell. Start with stuff you don't want (old CDs, clothes, toys) to get a feel for it.

Average pay: the sky's the limit - but unless you're selling something rare or valuable, don't expect to make a fortune.
More info: go to eBay and click on 'eBay explained'.

5 Pose as a life model
You don't have to be beautiful or in particularly great shape but you do have to patient, able to sit still and perhaps not wince at what an artist makes of you. But good models are in demand.

Average pay: from £6 or so an hour clothed, to £7 or so an hour unclothed outside London; a little more in the capital.
More info: contact art colleges and adult education colleges near you.

6 In-store demonstrator
There's lots of work for confident, personable people in supermarkets and department stores. You might be required to show off your ironing skills, hold a food tasting or demonstrate a new kitchen gadget, for example. Hours are often in the evenings or during weekends so can fit around your studies.

Average pay: varies, but can be up to £10 an hour.
More info: search for 'field marketing agencies' on the Internet.

7 Event stewarding
Concerts and sports fixtures employ a small army to help with organisation. The necessary training will be provided on the day but don't view the job as a free ticket. Stewards at football matches, for example, are expected to face the crowd, not watch the game.

Average pay: rates start at £5 an hour; with training you can earn up to £15 an hour.
More info: try Recruit Event Services.

8 Online surveys
To make money completing surveys, all you need is a computer and some opinions. You'll be asked what you think of various products and services, and sometimes be sent things to try out. However, there are scam survey websites so do some research.

Average pay: £3-£50 for each survey, depending on how long it takes. However, you'll have to pay a registration fee (around £20) up front.
More info: UK Paid Surveys rates and reviews the best sites.

9 Mystery shopping
Some men would pay good money not to go shopping, but 'mystery shoppers', on the other hand, get paid instead. It's not just about going to shops but perhaps to restaurants, bars or to stay in a hotel and report on how the customer's being treated. You'll get all the money for your meals, drinks or bills repaid and you may get to keep the shopping, too - unless, of course, it's diamonds.

Average pay: from £6 a visit, but could be as much as £100 a day.
More info: try the Mystery Shopping Agency on 020 8325 8974 or Retail Eyes

10 Internet researcher
You may have grown up taking the Internet for granted but there are plenty of people who aren't familiar with it or are too busy to spend time on it. So if you're skilled at extracting information from a web search, you can hire yourself out as a researcher for people like lawyers and writers.

Average pay: £10 an hour
More info: look for notices on student job boards or contact likely clients in your area.

Galveston Forex Trading Strategy

2008-01-30T07:50:00.001+07:00

5 Minute Chart Trading Strategy.

Refer to our recent chart example for a better idea of our strategy.
------------------------------------------

Rules of Engagement:

1. The range of your last few high/low points is more than 20 pips. High/Low points on our charts are indicated by the red (high) and blue (low) circles. (also called “Mouteki 2 bar high/low points”) These are a high or low point with two bars on each side of them that didn’t make a new high or new low. We don’t use all red and blue circles when deciding if 20+ pips has been reached, we mainly use the points that have shown very little retracement. The exception to this rule is only if your potential trade is in the direction of the overall trend. If so, less than a 20 pip range could still be acceptable, provided the other variables match.

2. Trade the right side of the range. If you are planning to go long, your entry would be in the bottom half of the range between your last few high/low points-closer to the low of the range. When shorting a currency, it would be the top end of the range. If you are in the direction of the overall trend then this rule is less important.

3. Before placing a trade, wait for a breakthrough of any decent support or resistance that’s nearby. Ideally, we like to see double confirmations. If there is a break of the trend line, we like to wait for a break of the nearest support or resistance as well. We do this to avoid reversing our position on what is likely a small retracement. On our chart we have two examples of this. The first trade breaks the trend line followed by a breakthrough of the resistance. The second trade breaks through the support and then the trend line. During the upward move, we also have retracements that break the trend line, but not the support line, therefore we never reversed our trade.

4. Draw smooth trend lines-use clean points with no previous breakthrough. This is important because we think that once the price passes through it, the integrity of the trend line has been weakened. Once a price breaks through our trend line, we modify our trend line according to the previous break. We take our original point and use the high or low of the violation bar as our next point. We then draw a trend line between the old line and the new line, because we would still consider entering that trade on a double confirmation. If the trend line is strong, and the price pulls away from it, only to come back and pass through it, we don’t need a double confirmation. We would consider entering the trade without it, if there are no support or resistance points in the area around the breakthrough.

5. If our trade is going really well, and the trend line looks pretty steep, we often change our strategy a little. We would not be looking to stop and reverse as usual, but be more concerned with not giving back all of our profits. If your price targets have been reached or you feel you are coming up on a strong support or resistance, then feel free to exit the trade. We like to give the trade a chance, usually waiting for a trend line violation or an opposite support or resistance break though. Sometimes there will be no mouteki price points or trend lines in the immediate area, so we look for technical reversal points to exit our trades with still a decent profit while at the same time giving our trade room to breathe.

6. Be conservative on choppy days or days when bars have consistent long shadows. The Forex usually follows some daily pattern, until, of course, it is broken. Because of that some days will be very easy to trade and profitable, and others will be difficult. For the most part the market will be fairly easy to trade and profit from because of the very large daily pip range. The sooner we recognize the type of market we are in the sooner we can adapt our trading strategy to it. One way we can “adapt” is by utilizing smaller stops when the market is trending tightly, and using better positioned stops when the market is more volatile. If we see a ranging market, then we can look to enter on a single confirmation closer to the top or bottom the range. It is easy to trade according to rules, however it is more difficult to recognize and adapt to the current market conditions. By using adaptive rules we can better play specific market conditions.

7. Use technical points for stops. There is no need to risk more than 15 pips on a trade when using a 5 minute chart. If you decide the risk is worth the reward then virtually any stop can be justified, but be aware of the next major support or resistance, as that will likely be your first target or obstacle. Ideally, our stops will be on the opposite side of the top/bottom range point nearest to our trade. If this is not possible then we will try and place our stops just beyond the nearest support or resistance levels that we can find that are within reason. Remember to add your spread (2 pips) and a buffer zone (1-3 pips) to the support or resistance you chose to put your stop behind. The basic idea is that our trades have 3 possible scenarios, 2 of them going our way. The trade could move against us and break out past our technical point; we lose. The trade could move against us, hit our technical point and reverse back, moving our way; we win. The trade could move in our direction; we win.

8. Managing stops can be the biggest determinate between making money and losing money. If we trail our trade tightly, we increase the chance of making a small profit, but reduce the likeliness of making a big profit. Small profits are good, however, if we consistently get stopped out at +5 or so, and are willing to risk 15 pips on the downside, it will be tough to make decent money. More often than not we would miss the big runs. With that said, we need to be intelligent about our stops, both in placing them as well as managing them. Ideally, we just close our trade and take a position the other way. If we are using a trailing stop loss, we need to keep our distance and always place stops behind strong support/resistance points. We trail our stops if we think our stop is in a weak position. The stronger we feel our stop is, the less likely we are to move it (unless the trade moves into good profit.) One strategy that makes stops easier to manage is trading two lots. The first lot we look to exit at the first likely reversal point, thereby locking in profit, (or at least offsetting any potential moves that stop you out.) Trading two positions can free you up mentally by satisfying your need for locked in profits, but also allowing you an opportunity to see your trade run as well.

9. Trading bigger ranges and trading with the overall trend will reduce your risk and dramatically increase the probability of a successful trade. Like we stated earlier trading two or more positions also increases your chance of success. Remember that the trend is more likely to continue than it is to reverse.

10. Do not force or create trades. Wait for the market to dictate when you trade. This rule is the difference between following a strategy and “just winging it”. Modifications can be great, but entering early, really late, or placing large stop losses are recipes for disaster if not thought through.

These Rules of Engagement are based on the results of one lot trading with a few adaptive variables, (e.g. stops and limits.) We have NOT tested trading only with the trend, or trading only large movements. If you decide to do so, please share your results with us.

Additional Information:

Q: When using a 5 minute chart are we not just giving spreads to our broker?
A: That depends on the currency pair. For the EUR/USD, our spread is around 1.5-3 pips, which is a fraction of our allowed stop loss. We want to position ourselves for the larger moves, but even with smaller moves we can overcome a 2-3 pip spread easily. We don’t enjoy paying a spread, but it is a factor that most intraday trading strategies must deal with and overcome.

Q: Why use such a small chart; wouldn’t the 15 or 30 min be better?
A: The 5 minute chart is both the 15 and the 30 minute chart it’s just a matter of how you look at it. Three 5 minute bars are a 15 minute bar, and six 5 minute bars are a 30 minute bar. The 15-30-60 minute charts can’t tell you about a 5 minute chart, and a 5 minute chart can tell you what the 15/30/60 minute charts tell you. That’s why we use it.

Q: Why don’t you use any technical indicators along with your charts?
A: We would be happy to if you know some that would correlate with the strategy that we are trading, and that would act as a confirmation of when to enter or exit a trade. We are trying to keep trading relatively simple; “if this, then that”

Q: Why do you use trend lines along with supports and resistance points?
A: Trend lines give us a glimpse of the possible future, and supports and resistances open or close certain actions within that possible future. The idea isn’t to use a moving average to tell us what we already know; rather the point is to gather information on what we don’t currently know and using that information to predict probable directions of the market.

Final Note:

The point and goal of all of this is to simply make pips, individually and collectively. How we get to that point doesn’t matter, what does is that we make it there. Please test, tweak, develop, and create towards our goal of group success. It is difficult to put onto paper a set of rules that work, because often the market gives us hints on what’s going to happen and opportunities that we could seize but our rules don’t allow for us to do it. It is for that reason that we are working on two other strategies to fill the voids that this one leaves. Our other strategies in progress are for trading supports & resistances and trading range breakouts. You will see that sometimes we miss big trades because we followed our rules, so utilizing multiple strategies just makes sense. We will revise and update these strategy rules in the near future, but for now, please look over this strategy. Test it. Modify it. Do whatever you wish with it! We look forward to any constructive criticism or suggestions or how to make it better. Feel free to stop by our group site or shoot us an email. Thank you for taking the time to read this, have a fantastic Holiday and we wish you the best of luck in 2007.

This system you win every day 50 pips

Time to open trades, everyday 1 hour before european market opens
day 1
open 1 trade long (TP 50, SL 50) 0.01 lot
open 1 trade short (TP 50, SL 50) 0.01 lot
day 2
open 1 trade long (TP 50, SL 50) 0.02 lot (because loss day before!)
open 1 trade short (TP 50, SL 50) 0.01 lot
day 3
open 1 trade long (TP 50, SL 50) 0.04 lot (because loss day before!)
open 1 trade short (TP 50, SL 50) 0.01 lot
day 4
open 1 trade long (TP 50, SL 50) 0.01 lot
open 1 trade short (TP 50, SL 50) 0.02 lot (because loss day before!)

means every day you open 1 position in every direction, every time you loss, you double the size, every time you win, you start with 0.01 lot

With this system you win every day 50 pips because losses were cleared through martingale system. Important is that the TP and SL stay below range, so 50 pips are ok for EURUSD.

Leading and Motivating

2008-01-30T07:33:00.000+07:00

Leading and Motivating
By: Brian Tracy

It’s been said that “Leadership is not what you do, but who you are.” This, however,
is only partially true. Leadership is very much who you are, but it cannot be divorced
from what you do. Who you are represents the inner person, and what you do
represents the outer person. Each is dependent on the other for maximum
effectiveness.
The starting point of motivational leadership is to begin seeing yourself as a role
model, seeing yourself as an example to others. See yourself as a person who sets the
standards that others follow. A key characteristic of leaders is that they set high
standards of accountability for themselves and for their behaviors. They assume that
others are watching them and then setting their own standards by what they do. They,
in fact, lead by example, just exactly as though someone were following them around,
surreptitiously taking notes and photographs of their daily actions for others to see and
act on.
Motivational leadership is based on the Law of Indirect Effort. According to this law,
most things in human life are achieved more easily by indirect means than they are by
direct means. You more easily become a leader to others by demonstrating that you
have the qualities of leadership than you do by ordering others to follow your
directions. Instead of trying to get people to emulate you, you concentrate on living a
life that is so admirable that others want to be like you without your saying a word.
In business, there are several kinds of power. Two of these are ascribed power and
position power.
Position power is the power that comes with a job title or position in any
organization. If you become a manager in a company, you automatically have certain
powers and privileges that go along with your rank. You can order people about and
make certain decisions. You can be a leader whether or not anyone likes you.
Ascribed power is the power you gain because of the kind of person you are. In
every organization, there are people who are inordinately influential and looked up to
by others, even though their positions may not be high up on the organizational chart.
These are the men and women who are genuine leaders because of the quality of the
people they have become, because of their characters and their personalities.
Perhaps the most powerful of motivational leaders is the person who practices what
is called “servant leadership.” Confucius said, “He who would be master must be
servant of all.” The person who sees himself or herself as a servant, and who does
everything possible to help others to perform at their best, is practicing the highest
form of servant leadership.
Over the years, we have been led to believe that leaders are those who stride boldly
about, exude power and confidence, give orders and make decisions for others to carry
out. However, that is old school. The leader of today is the one who asks questions,
listens carefully, plans diligently and then builds consensus among all those who are
necessary for achieving the goals. The leader does not try to do it by himself or herself.
The leader gets things done by helping others to do them.
This brings us to five of the qualities of motivational leaders. These are qualities
that you already have to a certain degree and that you can develop further to stand out
from the people around you in a very short period of time.
The first quality is vision. This is the one single quality that, more than anything,
separates leaders from followers. Leaders have vision. Followers do not. Leaders have
the ability to stand back and see the big picture. Followers are caught up in day-to-day
activities. Leaders have developed the ability to fix their eyes on the horizon and see
greater possibilities. Followers are those whose eyes are fixed on the ground in front of
them and who are so busy that they seldom look at themselves and their activities in a
larger context.
George Bernard Shaw summarized this quality of leaders; in the words of one of his
characters: “Most men look at what is and ask, ‘Why?’ I instead look at what could be
and ask, ‘Why not?’”
The best way for you to motivate others is to be motivated yourself. The fastest
way to get others excited about a project is to get excited yourself. The way to get
others committed to achieving a goal or a result is to be totally committed yourself. The
way to build loyalty to your organization, and to other people, is to be an example of
loyalty in everything you say and do. These all are applications of the Law of Indirect
Effort. They very neatly tie in to the quality of vision.
One requirement of leadership is the ability to choose an area of excellence. Just as
a good general chooses the terrain on which to do battle, an excellent leader chooses
the area in which he and others are going to do an outstanding job. The commitment to
excellence is one of the most powerful of all motivators. All leaders who change people
and organizations are enthusiastic about achieving excellence in a particular area.
The most motivational vision you can have for yourself and others is to “Be the
best!” Many people don’t yet realize that excellent performance in serving other people
is an absolute, basic essential for survival in the economy of the future. Many
individuals and companies still adhere to the idea that as long as they are no worse
than anyone else, they can remain in business. That is just plain silly! It is prehistoric
thinking. We are now in the age of excellence. Customers assume that they will get
excellent quality, and if they don’t, they will go to your competitors so fast, people’s
heads will spin.
As a leader, your job is to be excellent at what you do, to be the best in your
chosen field of endeavor. Your job is to have a vision of high standards in serving
people. You not only exemplify excellence in your own behavior, but you also translate
it to others so that they, too, become committed to this vision.
This is the key to servant leadership. It is the commitment to doing work of the
highest quality in the service of other people, both inside and outside the organization.
Leadership today requires an equal focus on the people who must do the job, on the
one hand, and the people who are expected to benefit from the job, on the other.
The second quality, which is perhaps the single most respected quality of leaders, is
integrity. Integrity is complete, unflinching honesty with regard to everything that you
say and do. Integrity underlies all the other qualities. Your measure of integrity is
determined by how honest you are in the critical areas of your life.
Integrity means this: When someone asks you at the end of the day, “Did you do
your very best?” you can look him in the eye and say, “Yes!” Integrity means this:
When someone asks you if you could have done it better, you can honestly say, “No, I
did everything I possibly could.”
Integrity means that you, as a leader, admit your shortcomings. It means that you
work to develop your strengths and compensate for your weaknesses. Integrity means
that you tell the truth, and that you live the truth in everything that you do and in all
your relationships. Integrity means that you deal straightforwardly with people and
situations and that you do not compromise what you believe to be true.
If the first two qualities of motivational leadership are vision and integrity, the third
quality is the one that backs them both up. It is courage. It is the chief distinguishing
characteristic of the true leader. It is almost always visible in the leader’s words and
actions. It is absolutely indispensable to success, happiness and the ability to motivate
other people to be the best they can be.
In a way, it is easy to develop a big vision for yourself and for the person you want
to be. It is easy to commit yourself to living with complete integrity. But it requires
incredible courage to follow through on your vision and on your commitments. You see,
as soon as you set a high goal or standard for yourself, you will run into all kinds of
difficulties and setbacks. You will be surrounded by temptations to compromise your
values and your vision. You will feel an almost irresistible urge to “get along by going
along.” Your desire to earn the respect and cooperation of others can easily lead to the
abandonment of your principles, and here is where courage comes in.
Courage combined with integrity is the foundation of character. The first form of
courage is your ability to stick to your principles, to stand for what you believe in and to
refuse to budge unless you feel right about the alternative. Courage is also the ability to
step out in faith, to launch out into the unknown and then to face the inevitable doubt
and uncertainty that accompany every new venture.
Most people are seduced by the lure of the comfort zone. This can be likened to
going out of a warm house on a cold, windy morning. The average person, when he
feels the storm swirling outside his comfort zone, rushes back inside where it’s nice and
warm. But not the true leader. The true leader has the courage to step away from the
familiar and comfortable and to face the unknown with no guarantees of success. It is
this ability to “boldly go where no man has gone before” that distinguishes you as a
leader from the average person. This is the example that you must set if you are to rise
above the average. It is this example that inspires and motivates other people to rise
above their previous levels of accomplishment as well.
Alexander the Great, the king of Macedonia, was one of the most superb leaders of
all time. He became king at the age of 19, when his father, Philip II, was assassinated.
In the next 11 years, he conquered much of the known world, leading his armies
against numerically superior forces.
Yet, when he was at the height of his power, the master of the known world, the
greatest ruler in history to that date, he would still draw his sword at the beginning of a
battle and lead his men forward into the conflict. He insisted on leading by example.
Alexander felt that he could not ask his men to risk their lives unless he was willing to
demonstrate by his actions that he had complete confidence in the outcome. The sight
of Alexander charging forward so excited and motivated his soldiers that no force on
earth could stand before them.
The fourth quality of motivational leadership is realism. Realism is a form of
intellectual honesty. The realist insists upon seeing the world as it really is, not as he
wishes it were. This objectivity, this refusal to engage in self-delusion, is a mark of the
true leader.
Those who exhibit the quality of realism do not trust to luck, hope for miracles, pray
for exceptions to basic business principles, expect rewards without working or hope
that problems will go away by themselves. These all are examples of self-delusion, of
living in a fantasyland.
The motivational leader insists on seeing things exactly as they are and encourages
others to look at life the same way. As a motivational leader, you get the facts,
whatever they are. You deal with people honestly and tell them exactly what you
perceive to be the truth. This doesn’t mean that you will always be right, but you will
always be expressing the truth in the best way you know how.
The fifth quality of motivational leadership is responsibility. This is perhaps the
hardest of all to develop. The acceptance of responsibility means that, as Harry Truman
said, “The buck stops here.”
The game of life is very competitive. Sometimes, great success and great failure are
separated by a very small distance. In watching the play-offs in basketball, baseball
and football, we see that the winner can be decided by a single point, and that single
point can rest on a single action, or inaction, on the part of a single team member at a
critical part of the game.
Life is very much like competitive sports. Very small things that you do, or don’t do,
can either give you the edge that leads to victory or take away your edge at the critical
moment. This principle is especially true with regard to accepting responsibility for
yourself and for everything that happens to you.
The opposite of accepting responsibility is making excuses, blaming others and
becoming upset, angry and resentful toward people for what they have done to you or
not done for you.
Any one of these three behaviors can trip you up and be enough to cost you the
game:
If you run into an obstacle or setback and you make excuses rather than accept
responsibility, it’s a five-yard penalty. It can cost you a first down. It can cost you a
touchdown. It can make the difference between success and failure.
If, when you face a problem or setback, and you both make excuses and blame
someone else, you get a 10-yard penalty. In a tightly contested game, where the
teams are just about even, a 10-yard penalty can cost you the game.
If, instead of accepting responsibility when things go wrong, you make excuses,
blame someone else and simultaneously become angry and resentful and blow up, you
get a 15-yard penalty. This may cost you the championship and your career as well if it
continues.
Personal leadership and motivational leadership are very much the same. To lead
others, you must first lead yourself. To be an example or a role model for others, you
must first become an excellent person yourself.
You motivate yourself with a big vision, and as you move progressively toward its
realization, you motivate and enthuse others to work with you to fulfill that vision.
You exhibit absolute honesty and integrity with everyone in everything you do. You
are the kind of person others admire and respect and want to be like. You set a
standard that others aspire to. You live in truth with yourself and others so that they
feel confident giving you their support and their commitment.
You demonstrate courage in everything you do by facing doubts and uncertainties
and moving forward regardless. You put up a good front even when you feel anxious
about the outcome. You don’t burden others with your fears and misgivings. You keep
them to yourself. You constantly push yourself out of your comfort zone and in the
direction of your goals. And no matter how bleak the situation might appear, you keep
on keeping on with a smile.
You are intensely realistic. You refuse to engage in mental games or self-delusion.
You encourage others to be realistic and objective about their situations as well. You
encourage them to realize and appreciate that there is a price to pay for everything
they want. They have weaknesses that they will have to overcome, and they have
standards that they will have to meet, if they want to survive and thrive in a
competitive market.
You accept complete responsibility for results. You refuse to make excuses or blame
others or hold grudges against people who you feel may have wronged you. You say,
“If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” You repeat over and over the words, “I am responsible. I
am responsible. I am responsible.”
Finally, you take action. You know that all mental preparation and character
building is merely a prelude to action. It’s not what you say but what you do that
counts.
The mark of the true leader is that he or she leads the action. He or she is willing to
go first. He or she sets the example and acts as the role model. He or she does what he
or she expects others to do.
You become a motivational leader by motivating yourself. And you motivate
yourself by striving toward excellence, by committing yourself to becoming everything
you are capable of becoming. You motivate yourself by throwing your whole heart into
doing your job in an excellent fashion. You motivate yourself and others by continually
looking for ways to help others to improve their lives and achieve their goals. You
become a motivational leader by becoming the kind of person others want to get
behind and support in every way.
Your main job is to take complete control of your personal evolution and become a
leader in every area of your life. You could ask for nothing more, and you should settle
for nothing less.

Decide to be Rich - Steps 1-10 by Robert T. Kiyosaki

2007-10-08T10:52:00.000+07:00

Today, because of the multitude of choices we all have, it is easy to get distracted from where we want to go in life. So just because you decide to choose a path to riches one day, does not mean you will choose it again the next day. The following are some simple basic steps and thought processes I have repeatedly gone through in my life. I say that I have gone through them repeatedly because I have had to make and re-make these decisions over and over again. Everyday we are constantly presented with multiple choices, and I found that I needed to constantly remind myself of my choices, if I were to remain on the path I chose. I offer you a few suggestions on how to find your path and stay on your path to great wealth, if you should choose to do so. But please remember that we all have the ability to change our mind. So to stay on our chosen paths, we often need to chose and re-choose our chosen paths on a regular basis.

One night in 1975, I sat in my little apartment and began to choose the path I was now to take. That night I had to again decide which dad's path I would follow, my rich dad’s or my poor dad's. I had been off track for ten years, and it was now time to get back on track. These are some of the thoughts I went through that night, and some of the decisions I made and have continued to make over the years.

10 DECISIONS YOU NEED TO MAKE TO GET RICH

STEP ONE: DECIDE TO BE RICH

That night in 1975, I had to first stop feeling sorry for myself and decide again to be rich. That night I sat and began to go over some of the lessons my rich dad had given me over the years. Lessons that were more important than money, because they were the lessons that would ultimately create for me the financial empire I wanted. That night, I could hear my rich dad talking to me. I sat quietly and my lessons began all over again. They began with him saying, "The only difference between the rich, poor and the middle class was the kind of life style they wanted. He said, "You don't have to be a psychic to tell a person's future. If you will listen carefully to the words a person uses, they will tell you their future."

Over the years, I found rich dad's words of wisdom to be so true. Rich dad believed that words were a person's most important tool. He believed that rich people used rich words, and poor people used poor words. He constantly reminded me to watch the words I spoke simply because he believed that the words you spoke and the words you thought ultimately became the world you lived in. He often quoted from the Old Testament, "And the word became flesh." So that night, I remembered rich dad reminding me to listen to different people's words and then tell him what I noticed. Over the years, rich dad pointed out to me that poor people often said words such as these:

"I just want enough money to pay the rent."

"I need a few dollars to get me to the next pay day."

"After I pay my bills, I don't know how my family can afford to eat."

Rich dad pointed out that people who used words such as these are often focused only on financial survival. Rich dad often referred to people such as these as poor people. He called them poor, but not in the sense most people think of when they think of poor people. He called them "poor" because they were poor managers of money. So a person who used words such as these in speech or in thought, were constantly fighting a financial battle of survival, regardless of how much money they made.

The middle class used different words because they had different ideas about how to use their money. Rich dad pointed out that people who's future was in the middle class often said things such as:

"Our home is our most important asset and is our largest single investment."

"We're setting a few dollars aside every month, so we can afford the down payment on our dream home."

"We're saving money for our children's college education and our retirement."

Rich dad had me notice that the middle class focused on comfort. That is why so many of them say, "I don't want to be rich. I just want to be comfortable."

I sat there in the darkness that night, going over my rich dad's thoughts on what words the rich used. I began to recall the words my rich dad's rich friends used. They used words that were different. They often were heard to say:

"How did you finance your shopping center? Did you syndicate it with a joint venture partnership or did you go to a hard money lender for the interim money?"

"My underwriter has a new private placement, pre-IPO offering. Do you want a position in it?"

"I bought the shares through my corporation because the long term tax consequences are better."

Rich dad pointed out that the rich used the vocabulary found in the asset column. He said, "The reason the rich are rich is because they are not focused on day-to-day short term survival, or the expense column as the poor are. Nor are the rich focused on comfort and the acquisition of liabilities using credit, as is the middle class. The rich are rich because they focus on the long term acquisition of assets...assets such as stocks, bonds, businesses, and income producing real estate. Many times the rich will forsake meals, a steady paycheck, a vacation, or the comfort of a nice home, in order to build or acquire real assets."

So Step One is decide to be rich, even if you are broke and penniless today. In Rich Dad Poor Dad , I wrote of the difference between being poor and being broke. I wrote that poor was a state of mind. It is a state of mind where thoughts such as "I can't afford it." or "Live below your means." come from. I wrote that being poor was eternal and being broke was temporary. The opening chapter of CASHFLOW Quadrant is entitled, "Why Don't You Get a Job?" The chapter begins with my wife Kim and me being homeless for approximately 3 weeks. The point here is that even though we were homeless and virtually out of money, we continued to strive to become rich. We continued to strive to build a business and invest through that business. Today, even though we now have plenty of money, and several businesses, nothing much has changed. We continue to build businesses, or reinvest in our businesses, and invest through those businesses.

In CASHFLOW Quadrant, I wrote about Be-Do-Have. I wrote that the "Be" was the most important part of the three word formula. I wrote that most people want to "Have" what the rich have, the problem is they often are not willing to do what the rich "Do" to have what the rich "Have." Again, the three different classes of people behave differently. So regardless if you have money or not, it is important to "Be" rich if you decide to do so, which means being willing to make being rich more important than being comfortable or merely surviving financially.

STEP TWO: DECIDE WHAT KIND OF MONEY PROBLEMS YOU WANT.

There are only two kinds of money problems. One problem is not enough money and the other is too much money. Unfortunately, the only kind of money problem most people know is the problem of not enough money.

Rich dad stressed that his son and I know not only how to make money but to know what to do with the money we made. Rich dad often said, "Most people know how to work for money, but they do not know how to have people and money work for them." That is why he taught us how to plan on having too much money. He went on to say, "If you want to be rich, you must know what to do with your excess money and make sure your excess money creates more excess money. If you want to be rich, you must know what to do with your excess money before it gets to you. The problem with most people is that when they receive any excess money, they do not know what to do with it...so they spend it foolishly or just park it in the bank."

So decide what kind of money problems you want.

STEP THREE: WRITE YOUR PLAN AND THEN FOLLOW YOUR PLAN

After choosing between being rich, poor, or middle class, and then choosing to have a problem of too much money or too little money, it is now time to write your plan.

If you have chosen to be rich, even though broke today, and have decided that you would rather have the problem of too much money rather than the problem of too little money, then read on. If you do not plan to be rich or have too much money, then you need not read any further. There are many other books written for people who simply want to get out of financial survival and get into being comfortable with their money. In fact, most money books are really written for people who want to hang on to their money and be comfortable, rather than become rich.

Rich Dad’s plan started with a few basic goals:

1. Change the characteristic of your income. Start a part-time business.

2. Change the characteristic of your expenses. Convert personal expenses into business expenses.

3. Place your business inside a legal entity.

4. Have your business buy your assets.

5. Harness the power of re-investing.

If you're willing to be a little uncomfortable, become very rich, and retire early, develop your plan. Maybe rich dad's plan can apply to you, even though you may be broke, but not poor, today. And if you are already rich, then rich dad's plan may help you become richer and happier...even beyond your wildest dreams.

STEP FOUR: DECIDE ON WHERE YOU WANT TO DO YOUR BANKING

Rich dad often said that you could tell the difference between the rich, poor, and middle class simply by where they went to get their money or where they did their banking.

WHERE THE POOR DO THEIR BANKING

Rich dad said, the poor use pawn shops as their bank. He often said, "A pawn shop is a poor man's bank." A pawn shop will lend money on "assets" that a banker would not loan money on. That is why, when a poor person is short of cash, they will often go to the pawn shop and put their chain saw, microwave oven, jewelry, TV sets, tools, watches, up as collateral or security. The pawn shop owner then gives them pennies on the dollar, which a pawn shop owner should do, since what the poor spend their money on is not worth anything after they buy it anyway. The way the pawn shop owner makes their money is by charging legal usurious interest rates.

WHERE THE MIDDLE CLASS DO THEIR BANKING

The middle class on the other hand, has the creditworthiness to use banks, savings and loans, or credit unions for their lines of credit. A popular form of credit for this group is the credit card, which is easy to obtain. The interest rates on credit cards range from 9% to 36%, depending upon the state you borrow from. That is because, it is up to each state to determine it's own interest rates on credit. An interesting note, the state with the lowest interest rate is Arkansas, at 9%...and because the rate is so slow, they also have the toughest qualification standards, and they also have the lowest charge-offs from non-payment. The lesson being, the higher the interest rate, the easier it is to borrow money.

WHERE THE RICH DO THIER BANKING

The rich also use banks. But they often use different banks. They often use the services of investment bankers, or find private capital from wealthy individuals, or money from institutions such as pension funds, insurance companies, or the stock market. The rich, if successful as business people, have fewer problems raising large sums of money and at better interest rates.

So look at your various choices and decide where you will do your banking.

STEP FIVE: CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS AND PARTNERS WISELY

One of the reasons the rich get richer is because they spend time with other rich people. Most of my best investments come from my rich friends, not from my stock brokers or real estate brokers. So that is why step 5 is to choose your friends wisely. It is important to know if a person's aspirations are to be rich, comfortable, or simply survive. People and friends who merely want to be comfortable or survive will not understand why you want to be rich, and may unconsciously pull you down, rather than push you up. And besides, the investment tips I get from people who only want to be comfortable are often tips on investments that no one else wants.

How do you find people who are rich or want to be rich? Rich dad had a simple answer to this question. He often said, "It's what you know that determines who you know. If you want to change who you know, simply change what you know." That is why the most important investment you can make is the investment in your financial education and financial experience. Invest in that first and the people you spend time with will change.

STEP SIX: GIVE YOURSELF TIME

It takes time to build a business as well as an investment portfolio. Building a business is not the same as getting a job. With a job, you expect to be paid soon after starting to work. With a business, you may not be paid for years, if you are paid at all. That is why I recommend keeping your daytime job and starting a part-time business.

It is said that 90% of all businesses fail in the first 5 years. In my opinion, there are two main reasons for this sad statistic. One reason is lack of education and experience. Business is not something you can learn in school. Business is a combination of formal education, experience, and guts.

The second reason is the lack of money. We have heard the old cliche "Killing the goose that lays the golden egg." Well, when starting a business, many people kill the baby-goose before it's old enough to lay the golden egg. In other words, most small businesses are under-capitalized, which means the new business owner tries to support his or her self and often his or her family on a business that is not yet up and running. So the business is drained of cash when it needs it most to grow in order to keep the owner and the family alive.

STEP SEVEN: START SMALL...DREAM BIG

In 1975, I realized that my $700 in savings was not much when compared to Mike's hundreds of millions of dollars, which was rapidly growing into a billion dollars. Initially, I felt like giving up, saying to myself, "What's the use. I'll never have more than Mike."

But then I also realized that if I continued with that thought process, not only would I never have more than Mike, I would never have much of anything. I then realized that I was comparing myself with Mike and trying to compete with him, rather than use him as inspiration and as a mentor. So that night I decided to start small and dream big.

Many people start small and stay small, simply because they have small dreams. It is my opinion that big dreams are important, because dreams possess ingredients vital for success. And some of those ingredients are hope, desire, passion, energy, vitality, faith, drive, inspiration, and creativity. These are the ingredients that make life worth living.

So dare to dream big. Dream of all the wonderful things this world and life has to offer and write your plan on how you can have all your dreams come true. Write that plan and look at it everyday. Talk to people about your dreams, even those who criticize you and your dreams. Then take their criticism and use it to make your desire to achieve your dreams even stronger.

STEP EIGHT: BEFORE YOU EXPAND YOU MUST CONTRACT

In 1975, I knew that if I was to achieve great wealth quickly, I first needed to tighten up before I could expand. As I silently sat in the darkness, I knew that if I wanted to expand financially, I first needed to tighten up. It occurred to me that the reason I was hurting financially was because I had been sloppy with my money during the past ten years. While in college, I spent a lot of money just having fun. While in Vietnam, I had developed the attitude of live life to the fullest because tomorrow I could be dead. So my motto truly was "Eat, drink, and be merry, because tomorrow somebody was really going to try and kill me." If I was going to get ahead, I first needed to pull back a little. Instead of playing golf, rugby, and tennis, I focused only on rugby. Instead of spending every night of the week in the clubs or watching television, I needed to get back to studying again. In other words, instead of trying to be everywhere and do everything, I decided to begin to focus more. I began doing more--of fewer things.

So step 8 is, regardless of what you did yesterday, if you want to do better financially tomorrow, you may need to forgive your past, tighten up and clean up your activities today, so you can have a bright and prosperous tomorrow. Always remember that to expand, you must first contract.

STEP NINE: GET BIGGER FASTER

The problem with a small business or small investments such as one single family rental, is that if they are small then you have to do all the work. You do all the work because there is not enough money to support paid management. So you own it and manage it. Very often, a person begins to buy real estate and soon quits because the work is hard and the pay is low. They quit because they started with a small plan and stayed small. For business or investing to work for you, in most cases, you must get big. Instead of buying only two rental properties, it is best to plan on acquiring at least 20 properties, and get them as soon as possible. (But make sure you know what you're doing before you acquire them.) With twenty properties you can afford professional management, if the cash flow is strong, or you can trade the twenty units into one larger apartment house or office building. The same goes with businesses, especially businesses such as franchises. If you have only one franchise, you are the chief cook, bottle washer, owner, and manager. If you have twenty of them, you have a chance of finding freedom faster.

The people who work the hardest and are paid the least are people who dream small, think small, and work small. So that night, I vowed that I would focus, study hard to acquire education, gain experience, start small, and get big as quickly as possible. I always remind myself of my rich dad's words, "The bigger the asset you build, the less you work and the more money you make."

STEP 10: THE MORE I SHARE THE RICHER I BECOME

That night in 1975, I knew that if I wanted to acquire great wealth quickly, I had to be a person who shared. I had to be a person who was generous. I knew that if I was greedy, stingy, or tight, it would take me longer to attain great wealth.

That is why in 1975, I decided to operate out of the B (Business Owner) quadrant, rather than follow my poor dad's ideas on labor unions and protectionism. I decided that if I was to get rich quickly, I needed to focus on doing more for less money, for more people. I needed to focus on sharing as much of my wealth with as many people as possible. That is the fastest way to get rich quickly. You get rich by sharing rather than by being greedy.

So step 10 is to decide to be generous and share with as many people as possible. If you do that, you will become far richer than those who work only for themselves.

Description of the Forex

2007-10-08T10:19:00.000+07:00

The Forex market, established in 1971, was created when floating exchange rates began to materialize. The Forex market is not centralized, like in currency futures or stock markets. Trading occurs over computers and telephones at thousands of locations worldwide.
The Foreign Exchange market, commonly referred as FOREX, is where banks, investors and speculators exchange one currency to another. The largest foreign exchange activity retains the spot exchange (i.e.., immediate) between five major currencies: US Dollar, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Eurodollar and the Swiss Franc. It is also the largest financial market in the world. In comparison, the US stock market may trade $10 billion in one day, whereas the Forex market will trade up to $2 trillion in one single day. The Forex market is an opened 24 hours a day market where the primary market for currencies is the 24-hour Interbank market. This market follows the sun around the world, moving from the major banking centres of the United States to Australia and New Zealand to the Far East, to Europe and finally back to the Unites States.
Until now, professional traders from major international commercial and investment banks have dominated the FX market. Other market participants range from large multinational corporations, global money managers, registered dealers, international money brokers, and futures and options traders, to private speculators.
There are three main reasons to participate in the FX market. One is to facilitate an actual transaction, whereby international corporations convert profits made in foreign currencies into their domestic currency. Corporate treasurers and money managers also enter the FX market in order to hedge against unwanted exposure to future price movements in the currency market. The third and more popular reason is speculation for profit. In fact, today it is estimated that less than 5% of all trading on the FX market is actually facilitating a true commercial transaction.
The FX market is considered an Over The Counter (OTC) or ‘Interbank’ market, due to the fact that transactions are conducted between two counterparts over the telephone or via an electronic network. Trading is not centralized on an exchange, as with the stock and futures markets. A true 24-hour market, Forex trading begins each day in Sydney, and moves around the globe as the business day begins in each financial center, first to Tokyo, London, and New York. Unlike any other financial market, investors can respond to currency fluctuations caused by economic, social and political events at the time they occur - day or night.

History of the Forex
Money, in one form or another, has been used by man for centuries. At first it was mainly Gold or Silver coins. Goods were traded against other goods or against gold. So, the price of gold became a reference point. But as the trading of goods grew between nations, moving quantities of gold around places to settle payments of trade became cumbersome, risky and time consuming. Therefore, a system was sought by which the payment of trades could be settled in the seller’s local currency. But how much of buyer’s local currency should be equal to the seller’s local currency?

The answer was simple. The strength of a country’s currency depended on the amount of gold reserves the country maintained. So, if country A’s gold reserves are double the gold reserves of country B, country A’s currency will be twice in value when exchanged with the currency of country B. This became to be known as The Gold Standard. Around 1880, The Gold Standard was accepted and used worldwide.
During the first WORLD WAR, in order to fulfill the enormous financing needs, paper money was created in quantities that far exceeded the gold reserves. The currencies lost their standard parities and caused a gross distortion in the country’s standing in terms of its foreign liabilities and assets.
After the end of the second WORLD WAR the western allied powers attempted to solve the problem at the Bretton Woods Conference in New Hampshire in 1944. In the first three weeks of July 1944, delegates from 45 nations gathered at the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The delegates met to discuss the postwar recovery of Europe as well as a number of monetary issues, such as unstable exchange rates and protectionist trade policies.
During the 1930s, many of the world’s major economies had unstable currency exchange rates. As well, many nations used restrictive trade policies. In the early 1940s, the United States and Great Britain developed proposals for the creation of new international financial institutions that would stabilize exchange rates and boost international trade. There was also a recognized need to organize a recovery of Europe in the hopes of avoiding the problems that arose after the First World War.
The delegates at Bretton Woods reached an agreement known as the Bretton Woods Agreement to establish a postwar international monetary system of convertible currencies, fixed exchange rates and free trade. To facilitate these objectives, the agreement created two international institutions: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank). The intention was to provide economic aid for reconstruction of postwar Europe. An initial loan of $250 million to France in 1947 was the World Bank’s first act.
Under the Bretton Woods Exchange System, the currencies of participating nations could be converted into the US dollar at a fixed rate, and foreign central banks could convert the US dollar into gold at a fixed rate. In other words, the US dollar replaced the then dominant British Pound and the parities of the world’s leading currencies were pegged against the US Dollar.
The Bretton Woods Agreement was also aimed at preventing currency competition and promoting monetary co-operation among nations. Under the Bretton Woods system, the IMF member countries agreed to a system of exchange rates that could be adjusted within defined parities with the US dollar or, with the agreement of the IMF, changed to correct a fundamental disequilibrium in the balance of payments. The per value system remained in use from 1946 until the early 1970s.
The United States, under President Nixon, retaliated in 1971 by devaluing the dollar and forcing realignment of currencies with the dollar. The leading European economies tried to counter the US move by aligning their currencies in narrow band and then float collectively against the US dollar.
Fortunately, this currency war did not last long and by the first half of the 1970’s leading world economies gave up the fixed exchange rate system for good and floated their currencies in the open market. The idea was to let the market decide the value of a given currency based on the demand and supply of the currency and the economic health of the currency’s nation. This market is popularly known as the International Monetary Market or IMM. This IMM is not a single entity. It is the collection of all financial institutions that have any interest in foreign currencies, all over the world. Banks, Brokerages, Fund Managers, Government Central Banks and sometimes individuals, are just a few examples.
This is very much the present system of exchange of foreign currencies. Although the currency’s value is dependent on the market forces, the central banks still try to keep their currency in a predefined (and highly confidential) fluctuation band. They accomplish this by taking one or more of various steps.

The International Trade Organization that had been planned in the Bretton Woods Agreement could not be realized in the form initially envisaged - the US Congress would not endorse it. Instead, it was created later, in 1947, in the form of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which was signed by the US and 23 other countries including Canada. The GATT would later become known as the World Trade Organization. In recent years, the two international institutions created at Bretton Woods the World Bank and the IMF have faced a major challenge in helping debtor nations to get back on stable financial footing.

The Euromarket
A major catalyst to the acceleration of Forex trading was the rapid development of the Eurodollar market; where US dollars are deposited in banks outside the US. Similarly, Euromarkets are those where assets are deposited outside the currency of origin. The Eurodollar market first came into being in the 1950s when Russia’s oil revenue - all in dollars - was deposited outside the US in fear of being frozen by US regulators. That gave rise to a vast offshore pool of dollars outside the control of US authorities. The US government imposed laws to restrict dollar lending to foreigners. Euromarkets were particularly attractive because they had far less regulations and offered higher yields. From the late 1980s onwards, US companies began to borrow offshore, finding Euromarkets a beneficial center for holding excess liquidity, providing short-term loans and financing imports and exports.
London was, and remains the principal offshore market. In the 1980s, it became the key center in the Eurodollar market when British banks began lending dollars as an alternative to pounds in order to maintain their leading position in global finance. London’s convenient geographical location (operating during Asian and American markets) is also instrumental in preserving its dominance in the Euromarket.

Important dates in the Forex History
Early 20th Century
Only in the 20th century paper money start regular circulation. This happened by force of legislation, the efforts of central banks to manage money supplies, and government control of gold supplies.
Within a country, this fiat money is as good as any other form. Internationally, it is not. International trade has always demanded a money standard accepted everywhere.
Gold and silver provided such a standard for centuries. An official Gold Standard regulated the value of money for about a century, prior to the start of World War I in 1914.
1929
The dollar has been perceived as more of a has-been, due to the Stock Market Crash and the subsequent Great Depression.
1930
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) was established in Basel, Switzerland. Its goals were to oversee the financial efforts of the newly independent countries, along with providing monetary relief to countries with temporary balance of payments difficulties.
1931
The Great Depression, combined with the suspension of Gold Standard, created a serious diminution in foreign exchange dealings.
World War II
Before World War II, currencies around the world were quoted against the British Pound. World War II crashed the Pound. The only country unscarred by the war was the US. The US dollar became the prominent currency of the entire world.
1944
The United National Monetary and Financial Conference at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire discussed the financial future of the post-war world. The major Western Industrialized nations agreed to a «pegging» of the US Dollar, which in turn was pegged at $35.00 to the troy ounce of gold. The future was designed to be stable, in part due to the tight governmental controls on currency values. The US dollar became the world’s reserve currency.
1957
The European Economic Community was established.
1967
At the IMF meeting in Rio de Janeiro, the Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) were created. SDRs are international reserve assets created and allocated by the IMF to supplement the existing reserve assets.
1971
The Smithsonian Agreement, reached in Washington, D.C., had a transitional role to the free floating markets. The ranges of currencies fluctuations relative to the US dollar were increased from 1 percent to 4.5 percent band. The range of currencies fluctuating against each other was increased up to 9 percent. As a parallel, the European Economic Community tried to move away from the US dollar block toward the Deutsche Mark block, by designing its own European Monetary System.
In the summer of 1971, President Nixon took the United States off the gold standard, and floating exchange rates began to materialize.
1972
West Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg developed the European Joint Float. Member currencies were allowed to fluctuate within 2.25 percent band (the snake), against each other and 4.5 percent band (the tunnel) against the USD.
1973
The Smithsonian Institution Agreement and the European Joint Float systems collapsed under heavy market pressures. Following the second major devaluation in the US dollar, the fixed-rate mechanism was totally discarded by the US Government and replaced by The Floating Rate.
1978
The International Monetary Fund officially mandated free currency floating.
1979
The European Monetary System was established.
1999
January 1st, 1999, the Euro makes its official appearance within the countries members of the European Union.
2002
January 1st, 2002, the Euro becomes the only currency and replaces all other twelve national currencies within the European Union and Monetary Market: Belgium, Germany, GGreece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Finland.

TODAY
Today, supply and demand for a particular currency, or its relative value, is the driving factors in determining exchange rates.
Decreasing obstacles and increasing opportunities, such as the fall of communism and the dramatic growth of the Asian and Latin American economies, have created new opportunities for investors.
Increasingly vast amounts of foreign currencies began flowing into other countries banks.

CHAPTER 1:- Success
􀂾 To laugh often and much;
􀂾 to win the respect of people and the affection of children;
􀂾 to earn appreciation of honest critics;
􀂾 to endure the betrayal of false friends;
􀂾 to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
􀂾 to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed
social condition;
􀂾 to know even one life breathed easier because you have lived.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
􀂾 Who you know, where you go and what you own are not the true measure of personal
success.
􀂾 Ongoing process of striving to become more.
􀂾 It is the opportunity to continue to grow emotionally, socially, spiritually, physiologically,
intellectually and financially, while contributing in some positive way to others.
􀂾 The road to success is always under construction…it is a progressive course, not an end
to be reached.
Common thread of successful people.. power. Ultimate power is the ability to produce results
you desire most, and create value for others in the process.
Eg Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Kerry Packer, Rupert Murdoch.
Power in the ages used to be a physical thing…kings, armies, strength etc. Nowadays largest
sources of power is based on specialised knowledge. We are no longer in an industrial
revolution – which was fuelled by money, but in a communication revolution – which is fuelled
by knowledge. (John Kenneth Galbraith). With communication as it is today, and advanced
weapons boundaries and land of a country becomes irrelevent. The power is based on how a
country has developed their communication and knowledge infrastructure.
For example…
Russia – a country which is rich in resources, agricultural land, people – now economically
collapsed. Needs to import food, minerals and technology. Why? – people have no common
goal, common bond, moving in different direction…no specific goals and targets.
Israel – a country mainly desert, minimal resources, limited people - economocally strong, a
net exporter etc etc. Why? – people have a common goal, targeted, and although politically
diverse and split, have a common goal. Also focus attention to knowledge and communication
and technology.
(Speech by Shimon Peres in IUA in Sydney)
Knowledge is only part of the equation…a major part is ACTION. ACTION produces results.
In fact POWER is defined as “The ability to Act”.

Communication

Every communication we make is an action, so communication is power. Those who know
how to affect the thoughts feelings and actions of the majority of us are those who know how
to use this tool of power. JFK, Thomas Jefferson, Jesus Christ, Gandhi, Winston Churchill etc.
Your level of communication mastery will determine your level of success with others,
personally, emotionally , socially and financially.
The level of success you experience internally, is based on how you communicate with
yourself. How you feel is not the result of what is happening in your life, but what you perceive
is happening in your life. How you interpret the results of what is happening. One can interpret
any result in a positive way or a negative way.
I have a friend, a great sportsman who had an accident and lost a leg… he could have given up on life, but ended up becoming a successful surgeon. He interpreted the accident as “the best thing that happened to him”. Took a result and made it into a +ve.
Another friend, inherited millions, gifted sportsman, committed suicide as he believed he had nothing to live for.
The quality of our lives is determined by not what happens to us, but rather by what we do
about what happens. How one reacts to events that one comes across is a measure of ones success.
One can control ones state of mind by adopting a point of view that creates that emotion. You alone controls the point of view that you take. It is your power and your prerogative. If we change our mental and physical actions, we can immediately change our emotions and behaviours.
You shape your perceptions or someone shapes them for you.
It is how we perceive events and what we do about these events that make a difference.

ULTIMATE SUCCESS FORMULA
􀂾 TARGET - Know your outcome.
􀂾 ACTION - Take action that you believe will produce the results you desire – else your
desire will always only be your dreams
􀂾 DETERMINE RESPONSE - Develop sensory acuity to recognise the responses and
results you are getting to determine whether they are moving towards the outcome.
􀂾 ADAPT AND CHANGE UNTIL DESIRED RESULT IS ACHIEVED - Develop the flexibility
to change your action until you get the result you want to achieve your outcome.
Eg. 1. Clnl Sanders KFC – recipe…wanted to sell to restaurants for royalty… looked for
someone to back him - got kbd 1000 times, and then someone backed him. Whenever
someone said no – changed results until a yes. One needs to be able to cope with no and try
again.
Take actions to achieve your dreams. Success is not a random roll of the dice. There are
consistent, logical patterns of action, specific pathways to excellence that are within the reach
of us all.

7 fundamental character traits to succeed

1 Passion
Consuming obsessive purpose to do what they do, to grow and to be more. Gives them the
fuel that powers their success train and causes them to tap their true potential. Causes
people to stay late and leave early; passion what people ant in relationships; passion gives
life power, juice andd meaning; passion to be the best.
2 Belief
Huge power and effect of faith and belief on mankind. Our belief in what we are and what we
can be will determine what we will be.If we believe in magic, we will live a magical life. If we
believe our life is defined by limits, they will be defined by limits. What we believe is true and
possible will become what is true and possible.
People who succeed know what they want and believe that they can get it.
Passion and belief provides the fuel and propulsion towards excellence!!
3. Strategy
Way of organising resources to achieve goal. What one needs and what one needs to do to
achieve the goal. One needs the resources and use it in an effective way. The best talents
and ambitions need to find the right avenue.
4 Clarity of Values
Fundamental, ethical and moral judgements we make about what’s important. A belief
system. Judgements on what makes life worth living. 1, 2 and 4 are interactive. If 1 and 2 do
not conform with your values, the goal will not be fulfilled.
5 Energy
Physical vitality to take action. Physical, intellectual and spiritual energy to take action to
make the most of what we have. Need to maximise physical vibrancy.
6 Bonding power
Ability to create and develop a rapport with different backgrounds and beliefs. Great
successes are not on the world stage but in the recesses of your heart.
Need to form lasting, lovong relationships with others.
7 Mastery of Communication
The way we communicate with others and ourselves will determine the quality of our lives. (eg
doing the washing – incidental activity as opposed to a bind).
People who shape our lives have an ability to communicate a vision, quest, joy or mission in a
way that creates a passion in you to share that vision. It is what makes a great parent, artist,
politician or teacher.

CHAPTER 2:- MODELING

One can achieve the above by “modeling” it has been done before!!
Outstanding people leave clues to how they achieve results. Duplicate actions of others. If
succesful marriage for 30 years…what actions – duplicate . Adopt actions and beliefs that
produce similar results.
Find models of personal excellence. If overweight, study fit people, emulate thir actions, and
you will become fit.
NLP – Neuro Linguistical Programming
Programming the language of your brain. Outstanding results can be achieved by producing
specific communication to and through the nervous system. How to produce optimum results.
How to duplicate human excellence in a short period of time.
Modeling is the pathway to excellence. If I identify the traits and habits, and pay the price of
time and effort of a successful athlete, friend, parent or businessman, I will become a
succesful athlete, friend, parent or businessman.
Many succesful businesses make money by determining what is succesful in one city and
duplicating it in another. “LAG”. Take a proven system and duplicate it, and maybe improve
upon it. People who do this are virtually guarunteed success.
The difference between those who succeed and those who fail isn’t ehat they have – it is what
they choose to see and do with their resources and experience of life.
Modelling performance patterns called Optimum Performance Technologies.
NLP is a tool to develop your own insights and strategies.

FIND MODELS OF EXCELLENCE

You can teach a dog patterns that will improve his behavior. You can do the same with
people. Seize excellence, and make it your own. Building from the successes of others is one
of the fundamental aspects of most learning.
Technology – every advance in technology is based on the foundation of earlier discoveries
and breakthroughs.

3 fundamental ingredients that must be duplicated to form any form of human excellence:-
1. Belief System
2. Mental Syntax – organise thoughts, and understand how other people organise their
thoughts. “Unlock the code”
3. Physiology – the way you breathe, hold your body, posture, your movements, determines
what state you are in.

CHAPTER 3 THE POWER OF STATE

If you feel you are on a roll, you will be on a role. If you feel that you cannot win, you will not
win.
Often there are times that you can do nothing wrong. Other times you can do nothing right.
Train yourself to continue to be on a role!!
Neurophysiological state
Enabling States
Confidence, love, inner strength, ecstacy, belief – tap great wllsprings of personal power
Paralysing States
Confusion, depression, fear, sadnessangst and frustration – leaves us powerless
If you can change a state, you can change a behaviour!!
We need to learn how to put us into an empowering state or behavior.
Peoples needs and goals, are almost always to achieve the state that they would ideally be in. Money will assist in achieveing a feeling of freedom, success and respect. This is a state and a feeling.
The key to love, power, joy is the ability to control, direct and manage your states.
Learn to effectively run your brain. Man has been fascinated for centuries how to alter his states:- drugs, music, sex, religion, liquor, chanting. These all have there uses and limitations.
There is an easier way that is easier, quicker and more precise.
What creates the state that we are in?

2 components:-

1 Internal representations (mind)
Eg spouse comes home late:-
If worried about accident,,,unconditional love, and TG he’s home. State of concern
If concerned about gambling/affair…different set of behaviours. State of angry and used
Our beliefs, attitudes, values and past experiences with the person all affect the type of
representations we will make about the behaviours.
2 Physiology (Body)
Muscle tension, how we breathe, what we eat, posture, overall level of biochemical
functioning have a huge impact on our state.
IR and P will work together in a cybernetic loop. What will effect one will effect the other. If
youre feeling ill and tired, IR will be –ve. If you feel vibrant and on a roll, IR will be +ve.
Learn how to change 1 & 2 to achieve results.
1 and 2 determine our behaviour…Verbal and Physical – what we do and say.
Since we don’t know how things really are , but only how we represent them to ourselves,
represent them in a way that empowers us and others. Focus on the positive.
If we represent to ourselves that something is not going to work it will not work.
If we form a representationt that it will work, we create the IR’s to produce the state that will
support us in producing positive results.
Life is like a river, its moving. You can be at the mercy of the river, or you can steer it in a
predetermined course. At the end of the day, all of us will reach the same destination…what
will differ is the knowledge, satisfaction, enjoyment and added value created along the way.
Always move with the tide…if you move against it, it is like pushing shit uphill. The tide is
determined by the set of values and beliefs that you hold.
Your behaviour and actions are a result of your state. If your IR tells you you are going to
have an accident…you will have an accident. If your IR tells you that you will be successful,
you will be successful.
The ancestor of every action is a thought.
If one changes ones beliefs and IR’s to +ve, one can achieve huge results.
There is no power like the power of a resourceful state.
The kind of behaviour people produce is the result of the state they are in. How they
respond to the state they are in is based on their models of the world.
Most people take little conscious effort to direct their states. State change is what most people
are after. They want to be in a +ve state.
Successful people know how to tap into their resourceful states. You can control the state you
are in. You do not have to be at the mercy of whatever comes your way.
“If you refuse to get the best in life, you will always get it”
“Control your thoughts they become your dreams
Control your dreams they become your actions
Control your actions they become your habits
Control your habits they become your destiny”
CHAPTER 4 BELIEF
Belief is any guiding principle, dictum, faith or passion that can provide meaning and direction
in life. Beliefs are prearranged filters to our perceptions of the world.
One person with a belief is equal to a force of 99 who have only an interest.Beliefs are the
compass and maps that guide us to our goals, and give us surety that we know that we will
get there.
To change our behaviour, we need to start with our own beliefs. Belief becomes reality
(placebo experiments)
Drugs are not always necessary, belief in recovery always is.
Belief is nothing but a state, an IR that governs behaviour.Change your belief, and change
your IR, which will change your behaviour. Belief is a choice.

Sources of Belief

1. Environment – Success breeds success, failure breeds failure. Generally nb part of belief
values.
2. Events, small or large can help foster beliefs.
3. Foster belief through knowledge
4. Belief based on our past results. If someone succeeds once or twice, they will succeed in
the future.
5. Cretaing in your mind the experience you desire in the future as if it were now. (Goal
setting)
You can control your beliefs, you can control the way you model others.You can concsiously
direct your life, you can change.
Beliefs that have limited you
Beliefs that can servr to help you achieve your highest goals
If you do not like your beliefs, you can change them. Key is to take your beliefs, and ensure
that they are working for you in a way to achieve your goals and objectives.ie that they are
effective and empowering.
If you believe, you will keep coming back until you succeed.

CHAPTER 5: 7 beliefs that foster excellence

1. Everything happens for a reason and a purpose and it serves us.
2. There is no such thing as failure, there are only results.
Once something doesn’t work, change it until it works.
3. Whatever happens, take responsibility. If you take responsibility, you can control the
agenda. We generate our own experiences of life, and we learn from all of them. You
need to feel that you create your world, else you are at the mercy of others.
4. You do not have to understand everything to use everything. Don’t get bogged down
in the details. Understand the outcome, and what you need to get to the outcome, and
have good people around you who are competent at each particular post. Exact the
essence from the situation. You don’t need to know how a motor works to drive.
5. People are your greatest resource. Sense of team, purpose and unity.
Continually remain alert, adjust behaviours, and recalibrate actions to determine where
we want to go.
6. Work is play. If you are going to succeed you need to enjoy what you are doing. Make
your vocation your vacation.
7. There’s no abiding success without commitment.

CHAPTER 6: HOW TO RUN YOUR BRAIN

Reprogram your jukebox. How you produce a state of depression and ecstacy is how one
structures your internal representations. Done through 5 senses. To get a result, you need an
ingredient. Remember a pleasant experience, step into that experience, see what you saw
through your eyes, events images colour brightness etc, hear what you heard, feel what you
felt. Imagine the experience as if in a movie, which experience feels greater? Difference
between an associated and a disassociated experience. You can change an effect of any
experience by changing an associated experience to a disassociated experience.
SUBMODALITIES
You can implant in your brain the cues you want. A king can direct his kingdom. Your
kingdom is your brain.You can direct your brain. Various methods you can use.

CHAPTER 7: THE SYNTAX OF SUCCESS

Syntax – the way we order actions. Same words different meanings. The dog bit Joe; Joe bit
the dog. The order that we say and do things causes them to register in the brain in a specific
way. STRATEGY
A recipe is nothing but a strategy. How we use resources that we have will determine the
outcome. If you follow the recipe to the letter...model the recipe, you will achieve the same
result.
Find people who have financial success and fulfilling relationships, discover their strategy and
apply it to achieve similar results, and save tremendous time and effort. (THE POWER OF
MODELLING).In the baking of human experience, our ingredients are the 5 senses. We also
need how much of the ingredients are needed. How much visual input, audio, kinesthenetic
etc..Same amts, same sequence, same ingredients, you will achieve similar results.
Strategies are like the combination to a vault. Ingredients – the numbers…Quantity –
how many of the same numbers…Strategy – the order that the numbers are used. This
will find the combination.
Visual (V) Audio (A) Kinesthetic(K) i (internal) e (external) d (digital) t (tonal)
See Hear Feel
Recognise what your strategies are, as well as other peoples, so you can determine what
they react to.
Presenting information in another persons syntax is a powerful form of rapport. Your
communication becomes irresistable, as it automatically triggers certain responses.
Ther are strategies for Selling, Motivation, Seduction, Learning, Athletics, Depression or
Ecstacy.There are strategies for efficient management. You need to determine what your
strategy is to access your state on cue.
To achieve a certain state/result, find the specific sequence and the specific syntax,
take action, and you will create the world as you desire it. Other than the physical
necessaties of life, like food and water, almost everything else you might want is a
state. All you have to know is the right syntax and strategy to enable you to get there.
Teach an army to shoot a new rifle:- Find the point of difference of a star, and show others
how to model that star. What are their beliefs, their common mental syntax and their
strategies. Model their IRs and their Physiology. Once this was done, designed a 1.5 day
course. Amazing results.
If you have an excellent model, discover what he does, duplicate it, and produce similar
results in a shorter period of time.
Methodology pg 119.
Biggest problem with teachers is that they don’t know the strategies of the students. What
buttons to push to assist them to learn. Wrong tool in wrong sequence, you will get the wrong
result. If you are a salesman, find out what your customers buying strategy. Is he strongly
Kinesthetic, hit him with a feeling. If he was visual, show him the colours.

CHAPTER 8: How to Elicit Someone’s Strategy

There are methods to elicit anyone’s strategy in any situation. Like a locksmith. Become a
master communicator. Look for things you were not seeing, hear things you aren’t hearing,
feel things you werent feeling, and asking questions you were not hearing before. Do this
elegantly and attentively.
People will tell you about their strategies in what they say, how they look, how they move.
Learn to read a person like a map or a book.You can tell what representational system he is
using by watching a person’s eyes.

Problems or Opportunities

2007-05-13T12:50:00.000+07:00

Problems or Opportunities?

As best I can tell here’s how it breaks down.

Some people see problems as opportunities. Understanding that getting through each opportunity puts them closer to the next one. Kind of going through life with a stair step mentality. Excited to get to the next round of new opportunities because they are seen as ‘steps’ along a pathway. They feel like the bigger the opportunity (problem) the better because that means a bigger step taken. With this outlook they welcome big challenges. They push ahead boldly, as though it were a sporting event in which the opportunities were the opponent.

The opportunity being the thing that must be overcome or conquered in order to move up to higher levels of competition. Thereby bringing higher levels of enjoyment. Enjoying the whole process the way one might enjoy a weekend hobby or the companionship of a loved one. These are the kinds of people who charge out of bed in the mornings because they see the upcoming day as another opportunity to be great.

Conversely there are those who don’t ever want there to be any problems (opportunities). Believing that problems are to be avoided at all costs. In the minds of these people problems are all bad. They see the very occurrence of opportunity as a problem. They get caught up believing that it’s the end of something rather than focusing on the new beginning that lies before them once the challenge is met. These are the people who never confront either themselves or others. They just accept. "Whatever works for you." "If that’s what you want."

These people don’t realize it but they are victims. Accepting what comes instead of actively going to where they want to be. Sometimes they see themselves as peacekeepers. Which is not a bad thing to be but peacemaking would be an even higher aspiration.

Peacemakers lean into conflict. Knowing the only true way to keep peace is by resolving issues through confronting them rather than not. Martin Luther King Jr. was a peacemaker. A peacemaker would rather go through instead of dancing around things. Jesus Christ was a peacemaker. They understand going through is conquering while dancing around is avoiding. Mohandas Gandhi was a peacemaker. Avoiding is putting things off until they are so big and painful that they become, well, unavoidable. I challenge you, as I have challenged myself to stop avoiding things and deal with them. If things in your life aren’t the way you need them to be in order to feel what you need to feel check yourself. Are you resolving or avoiding?

And so the question, Which are you, a peacekeeper or a peacemaker? Do you see opportunities or do you only see problems? Are you busy keeping the peace, or are you actively confronting and resolving those issues in your life that are calling for resolution? How do you view the challenges you are currently facing, annoyances or welcomed opportunities?

Do you look forward to and welcome opportunities that challenge and grow you in the process? Have you accepted the fact that sometimes life is not comfortable but that "real life" happens in the midst of this discomfort? Are you content to accept what life dishes out or are you scratching and clawing in the trenches to pull from life and yourself the things you want and deserve?

Which is it going to be for you, Victim or Victor? The choice is all yours.

I offer these as my final thoughts on the subject:

Those of us who are crazy enough to think we can change the world, our world, are the one’s who will surely do it. If you want to make your world a better place in which to live, start by seizing the opportunities that are right now before you.

Make that telephone call…
Write that letter…
Confront that person…Then tell them you love them.
Accept that setback and move on to the next battle…
Share the gift of ‘you’ with somebody, anybody.
Forgive…
Forget…
Do something… Do Anything!
Live!!

Thanks for sharing your time with me. I welcome your thoughts, comments.

Live some. Love some. Learn some. Everyday.

A Parting Thought on Character
"Some day, in years to come, you will be wrestling with the
great temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of your
life. But the real struggle is here, now, in these quiet weeks.
Now it is being decided whether, in the day of your supreme
sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or gloriously
conquer. Character cannot be made except by a steady, long
continued process."

Be more concerned
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation,
because your character is what you really are; your reputation
is merely what others think you are."

FOREX Fundamental Analysis

Most FOREX traders rely on analysis to make plan their trading strategy. This article will discuss fundamental analysis. The other common form of analysis is technical analysis. After reading this article you should have a better understanding of fundamental analysis and how to use it as part of your FOREX strategy.

Political and economic changes are the basis of fundamental analysis. These can frequently affect currency prices. Traders that take advantage of fundamental analysis will gather their information from a variety of news sources. They are looking for information about unemployment forecasts, political ideologies, economic policies, inflation and growth rates.

Fundamental analysis will provide you with an overview of currency movements and a broad picture of the economic conditions. Most traders then will combine their fundamental analysis with technical analysis to plot actual entrance and exit points as well as confirming the information provided by their fundamental analysis.

Just like most markets the FOREX market is controlled by supply and demand. Many economic factors can affect the supply and demand but the two most critical ones are interest rates and the strength of the economy. The over all strength of the economy is affected by changes in the GDP, trade balances and the amount of foreign investment.

There are many economic indicators released by government and academic sources. These indicators are usually released on a monthly basis but will sometimes be released weekly. These are pretty reliable measures of economic health and are closely followed by all traders.

There are many indicators that are released but some of the most important and commonly followed are : interest rates, international trade, CPI, durable goods orders, PPI, PMI and retail orders.

Interest Rates - can cause a currency to either strengthen or weaken depending on the direction of movement. In some cases high interest rates will attract foreign money, however high interest rates will frequently cause stock market investors to sell of their portfolios. They do this believing that the higher cost of borrowing money will adversely affect many companies. If enough investors sell of their holdings in can cause a downturn in the market and negatively affect the economy.

Which of these two affects will take place depends on many complex factors, but there is usually an agreement among economic observers as to how the current change in interest rates will affect the general economy and the price of the currency.

International Trade - If there is a trade deficit (more items imported than exported) it is usually considered a negative indicator. When there is a trade deficit it means that more money is leaving the country to buy foreign goods than is entering the country and this can have a devaluing effect on the currency. Usually though trade imbalances are already factored into the market consideration. If a country normally operates with a trade deficit then there should not be an affect on the currency price. The currency price will normally only be effected by trade differences when the deficit is greater than the market expected.

The measurement of the cost of living (CPI) and the cost of producing goods (PPI) are a couple of other important indicators. You should also watch the GDP which measures the value of all the goods produced in a country and the M2 Money Supply which measures the total amount of currency for a country.

In the US alone there are 28 major indicators, these can have a strong effect on the financial market and should be closely watched. This information can be found many places on the internet and is provided by many brokers.

Technical Analysis of the FOREX Market

2007-05-09T10:27:00.001+07:00

Technical Analysis of the FOREX Market

In FOREX trading there are two common types of analysis that most traders utilize, they are fundamental and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis attempts to predict currency movement based off of political and economy indicators. Technical analysis uses historical economic information to predict changes in the FOREX market. This is the first of two articles that will explore technical analysis.

Technical Analysis is based on the following assumptions:

1. Price movements are a result of combined market forces. Political events, economic conditions, seasonal fluctuations, supply and demand are all things that can effect currency prices. Technical analysts do not concern themselves with why the market moves, they are only interested in the movements themselves.

2. Currency prices on the FOREX market follow trends. Predictable consequences have been linked with many recognized market patterns.

3. Historical trends can be used to predict current price movements. Data on the FOREX market has been collected for the last 100 years, over that time certain patterns have become emergent. Human psychology and the way people react to certain circumstances are the basis of these patterns.

Most traders consider technical analysis to be of critical importance even though they may also use fundamental analysis to support and confirm the strategy suggested by technical analysis. Unlike fundamental analysis technical analysis can be applied to many different currencies and markets at the same time. Since fundamental analysis requires detailed knowledge of the economic and political conditions of a certain country it is nearly impossible for any single trader to perform proper fundamental analysis on more than a few countries.

For the beginning trader the complexities of technical analysis may seem overwhelming and they may even wonder if it is actually necessary. If you wish to be successful at FOREX trading you must have a strategy. Any strategy can work but technical analysis has been proven as a reliable and effective method of predicting market changes. Many forces can effect currency prices though so technical analysis is no guarantee, most successful traders utilize a combination of technical and fundamental analysis.

Any quality online FOREX broker should be able to supply you with a large variety of online charts for technical analysis. You can purchase in-depth professional charts, there is usually a monthly fee involved in gaining access to this information. There is also free software available to help you with charting. Charts provide different snapshots of timeframes and usually can also have analytical overlays. These charts will provide a broad over view and can also be zoomed into the tick level. Good charts are updated in real time. These may be available on your brokers site or could be part of their software.

You should learn the market and study trends before for a period of time before you begin actively trading. Most brokers will provide you with a practice account where you can place "paper trades". Paper trades are just practice trades where no real money is made or lost. They act just like a real trade though so you can see exactly how your trade would have turned out if you had placed it for real. This allows you to become familiar with your brokers system and software as well as learning about the market and how it moves without risking any money while you learn.

Fakta Analisa Teknikal atau Analisa Fundamental

Beberapa trader Baru diperhadapkan kepada kondisi yang sulit dalam memahami reaksi market forex , Beberapa diantaranya memutuskan untuk menguasai kemampuan menganalisa, baik itu analisa secara fundamental maupun analisa secara teknikal. Namun uniknya, tidak banyak Trader Baru yang melakukan langkah bijak untuk melatih diri menguasai kemampuan menganalisa dengan kedua aspek serta bagian analisa forex tersebut. Tidak banyak Trader Baru yang memahami bahwa faktor-faktor analisa di market forex tidak hanya bertumpu kepada faktor fundamental.. atau hanya bertumpu kepada faktor teknikal. Salahnya pemahaman Trader Baru terhadap pentingnya menguasai kemampuan memprediksi arah gerakan market adalah banyaknya sumber-sumber informasi salah kaprah yang menganjurkan Trader Baru untuk menguasai faktor teknikal market saja, atau anjuran dari sumber lain yang memberikan argumen paling pentingnya penguasaan faktor fundamental sebagai pegangan beraktivitas trading di dunia forex.

Dengan terkondisinya pemikiran Trader Baru secara salah kaprah oleh karena mereka mendapatkan sisi pandangan tentang trading yang tidak berimbang, mengakibatkan rentannya aktivitas Trader Baru tersebut dengan ancaman kerugian yang besar.

Ketika seorang Trader menganggap dirinya adalah seorang Trader Forex Teknikal, atau Trader Forex Fundamental, dia sedang berdiri pada jurang kesalah kaprahan perihal syarat keamanan di dunia forex. Mengkotak-kotakkan Trader pada Golongan Teknikalis maupun Golongan Fundamentalis adalah satu kesalahan besar yang mengarahkan Trader pada kondisi ketidak seimbangan dalam pola trading mereka.

Apa yang mendorong para Trader untuk mengkotakkan dirinya pada salah satu Tipe Trader berdasarkan kemampuannya adalah ketidak seimbangan trader tersebut menguasai aspek lain selain aspek yang dianggapnya paling penting. Ujung dari pengkotak-kotakkan gaya trading berdasarkan aspek analisa fundamental saja maupun aspek analisa teknikal saja adalah kondisi tidak berimbang yang cenderung melahirkan gaya trading yang tidak sehat oleh karena trader didorong untuk mengabaikan faktor analisa lainnya.

Ibarat kita mengendarai mobil ditengah hutan pada malam hari, adalah lebih bagus memiliki dua lampu depan yang bekerja dengan baik daripada satu lampu kiri saja yang menyala, atau satu lampu kanan saja yang menyala.
