Invest in Yourself Rather Than the Stock Market

August 1st, 2010

Over the past few decades, many Americans have lots countless sums of money in the stock market in their personal investment accounts, or in 401k. If we are to learn from history, the typical American should probably think long and hard before investing his or her hard earned money into a black hole controlled by people who have a sliding trust reputation.

Oil, commodity, and other types of trading are even bigger mysteries than the stock market. In my view, there is another great option. Invest in yourself!

Here is what I mean by that. Start a company or go to school to learn a trade that will earn you more money and with which you can do more good in the world.

My experience is with starting companies. I started Semantic Valley because I didn’t like working for others since I felt that I just was not learning enough.

After starting a number of companies under the Semantic Valley umbrella, I grew as a person (priceless) and learned a number of skills that I never would have learned before. I now have about 60-100% savvy in nearly every skill and department that a company might have or ever need. I now just spit out startups left and right, and they all generate income.

It was a risk I took and it was an investment in myself. Now I am much more employable if I want that, and I am able to innovate on my own. But most importantly, I grew and matured as a person and I followed my own vision which I got to refine (and learn how to optimally refine). That has been the best investment of my life and I encourage others to follow the same path.

One project Alex is doing is in the realm of female communities in San Francisco. He created a place where San Francisco women can have a place to interact. More specifically, there is networking for mothers, women who want exercise buddies and also professional networking for women at San Francisco Women that is currently helping different women come together.

Another project Alex is working on is to promote health, and more specifically digestive health, disease awareness, and diagnosis at Poop which Alex hopes will help increase health education.

THE NATIONAL BESTSELLING BOOK THAT EVERY INVESTOR SHOULD OWN

Peter Lynch is America’s number-one money manager. His mantra: Average investors can become experts in their own field and can pick winning stocks as effectively as Wall Street professionals by doing just a little research.

Now, in a new introduction written specifically for this edition of One Up on Wall Street, Lynch gives his take on the incredible rise of Internet stocks, as well as a list of twenty winning companies of high-tech ’90s. That many of these winners are low-tech supports his thesis that amateur investors can continue to reap exceptional rewards from mundane, easy-to-understand companies they encounter in their daily lives.

Investment opportunities abound for the layperson, Lynch says. By simply observing business developments and taking notice of your immediate world — from the mall to the workplace — you can discover potentially successful companies before professional analysts do. This jump on the experts is what produces “tenbaggers,” the stocks that appreciate tenfold or more and turn an average stock portfolio into a star performer.

The former star manager of Fidelity’s multibillion-dollar Magellan Fund, Lynch reveals how he achieved his spectacular record. Writing with John Rothchild, Lynch offers easy-to-follow directions for sorting out the long shots from the no shots by reviewing a company’s financial statements and by identifying which numbers really count. He explains how to stalk tenbaggers and lays out the guidelines for investing in cyclical, turnaround, and fast-growing companies.

Lynch promises that if you ignore the ups and downs of the market and the endless speculation about interest rates, in the long term (anywhere from five to fifteen years) your portfolio will reward you. This advice has proved to be timeless and has made One Up on Wall Street a number-one bestseller. And now this classic is as valuable in the new millennium as ever.

How to Hedge Using CFD Trading

July 30th, 2010

Before we get to how best to use CFD trading for hedging, it is important to understand the meaning of all the terms involved. A CFD is short for ‘contracts for difference’ which is a contract between the `buyer’ and `seller’ that requires the seller to pay the difference between asset value at the current time minus that at contract time.

Of course, depending on whether the value comes to negative or positive, it could be the buyer paying the seller, or vice versa. Simply put, trading CFDs allows speculation on the financial instruments that they represent without actually having to own them. It is important to know that each CFD can have its own contract terms depending on the CFD provider and the trader. But the one thing common to all CFD trading is the need to fix the price of a volatile commodity by both buyer and seller.

Let’s also understand ‘hedging’ more closely. Financially speaking, hedging is about covering risk. It is about buying instruments in one market to offset the exposure to risky price fluctuations in another. An insurance policy is the simplest kind of hedging technique. Another very common hedge instrument is a futures contract. For example, let’s consider a farmer whose profit is always subject to the wheat demand at the end of the harvest cycle. It could be high or low, and likewise is the farmer’s profit. In creating a wheat futures contract at a specified price, the farmer insures himself from having to sell it lower. But he also gives up the right to sell it higher and that provides a benefit to the buyer. Who actually makes a profit will depend on future conditions, but both parties have benefited by mitigating their risk on what is a perceived to be a volatile commodity.

How Can CFD Trading Be Used For Hedging?

The value of shares and other financial instruments is constantly at risk. Investors often are confused as to what is the best time to cash in. They want to wait but are scared about the share prices dropping. They can solve this dilemma by CFD trading. For example: If they want to not risk the price of their shares falling, then they take a CFD in a short position. If the share price moves up, then they cover the difference. Yet if it moves down, then they get the differential back-no profit, no loss. Meaning that they are for `hedged’ against all volatility in that particular shareholding. The simple idea is to enter an equal and opposite CFD position to the current shares, which neutralizes you to all movement in prices. Some other less known benefits includes:

* Buyers can earn interest on short CFD positions.

* There is no fixed expiration date on CFDs.

* There is no minimum strike price or parcel price; meaning that a buyer or seller decides what they are comfortable with.

In summary, CFD trading is a great way to protect your portfolio against losses.
