Making Money Online Opportunity Secrets!

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:58:39 +0000

When you are choosing to start making money from the Internet, the first thing you need to do is to find a niche market. Finding a niche market may be like searching for a needle in a haystack, but when you do find a market that is not as heavily tapped, you have found gold in terms of what Internet marketing is all about.
Searching for a niche may take some time, but when you do come across an untapped market, it can be lucrative enough for you so that you can stay home and do this full time. What is a niche market? This is a category or group of targeted individuals who specialize in a certain product or service. Learn more about advantages of niche marketing.
For example, a category such as “wedding,” is too broad to make any money online. You will have too many competitors breathing down […]

JOYG Chart - Sold a New Naked Put

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 07:35:54 +0000

Joy Global (JOYG) gapped down today after beating estimates, but with aid from tax related gains and that didn’t please the masses.?? Their outlook is still good, but the market didn’t treat it that way.?? I??own 100 shares that I bought much higher after being assigned an earlier naked put at $75.00.?? I’ve sold covered calls since then and reduced my cost to around $57.50 with today’s trade, but with the gap down today I’m sitting on a paper loss as JOYG closed the day at $53.05.??
I charted JOYG to see that $50.00 could be an area of support as it was last fall a few times and in January of this year.?? I entered a limit order for a naked put after lunch??and while JOYG was trading at $52.10 I sold one September 50 naked put (JQYUJ) and received $164.25 after commissions.?? The premium isn’t big, but it’s only […]

What to Trade Now

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 02:12:54 +0000

I’ve spent some time this morning trying to find a new trade, but can’t zero in on anything that seems like a good move. I went back to this week’s Barron’s and saw that even the strategists they polled can’t come up with a good consensus of what’s hot and what’s not.

Six of them say to avoid Consumer Discretionary stocks and three say they favor the same sector.
Four say to avoid Financials and two favor Financials.
None of them says to avoid Tech, but a few like it and that’s one I’m not sure of based on that $COMP chart I drew this past weekend.

Here’s the Barron’s article for those interested in seeing the table.
Once I think I am getting close this market throws me a curveball like on JOYG.?? JOYG beat earnings and forcast a good future, but is down 7% today and was down more.?? I can only assume […]

You can’t teach money?

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 23:58:07 +0000

I just got around to my latest issue of Money magazine and I was very surprised to find an article called, “Why you can’t teach money.” It was an interview with a law professor who says that teaching people about money is not only a waste of time, but it is dangerous as well.
She claims that sending high-schoolers to personal finance classes and adult retirement seminars may actually cause worse financial behavior.
Seeing this article caused me to come up with a couple follow up questions…
Why would money magazine print an article that suggests their whole existence is a waste of time?
Maybe they secretly realize that it is absurd.
If you can’t teach people money, then how did I get taught?
I can’t speak for others, but I know for myself that I have learned a whole lot that I did not know before about money.
How did she get taught?
While, she didn’t say […]

Converting my car to a water-powered hybrid (Part 1)

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:38:50 +0000

Yea, I know it sounds crazy, but I think it’s going to work! You may have seen my FNBO video I made about this little project. And I am sure you have probably seen some advertisements for things like this because they have been advertising like crazy the last year or so… But anyway, a friend (who is a bit more technically inclined than I am) and I decided to take this project on to see whether or not it is legit.
The water car conversion book
The $50 book I bought was from these guys, I don’t recommend the book to many people at all because it seems to leave out some necessary details. We had to download an a few additional patents from the U.S. Patent office to fill in a few of the gaps. I also was annoyed that they made the whole process sound like it is as […]

The Internet provides important information about variety of topics. Like what I have just done. I searched about improving credit score, home mortgage, and home equity loan– for my assignment and have found the following information.
debt reduction
I have typed keywords like “credit report” and this is what I have got:
“Lenders also check at your income, your debt status, the amount of credit you have available to you, and the manner in which you perform your monthly payments. By paying in on time, you will keep you credit score at an average or above average level- a stable rating. If you have had credit problems, you may want to render an extra effort to repair your credit and elevate your credit score.
If you pay all or most of […]

End of Month Summary - August 2008

Mon, 01 Sep 2008 01:28:17 +0000

August was a??good month for me.?? I finished with a realized gain of $578.95 and a paper gain of just $0.50 shy of $3,000.?? A lot of that paper gain is making up from some of the paper loss I had in July and didn’t take (luckily).?? I’ve been riding this month out slowly with less trades than usual due to my fear of what’s coming and trying to focus on work more as I promised myself??in July’s??End of the Month Summary.
I’ve worked my account back up to $99,113.19 according to Quicken??and $98,876.38 according the TD Ameritrade.?? I’ve always been puzzled why Quicken and AMTD don’t always match and figured it out recently.?? Quicken’s quote updates aren’t always from the end of the day.?? As long as it’s within a few hundred dollars I don’t sweat it.?? If the two are off by more than that and I manually update […]

How Our Financial Attitude Is Changing With Increasing Income

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 19:32:16 +0000

Since a little more than seven months ago, I made some adjustments to the path in which my career was taking me and took up a job instead of pursuing PhD. One of the main reasons for going that route was that I was so narrowly focused for so long that I forgot why I was doing PhD in the first place (of course, there is more to that story that just that, but I won’t go into that with this post).
Anyways, our household income increased by about four times after I took up the job. Initially, things were taking a deflating turn for the first couple of months - I guess this was in part because I was a relatively “newly employed” and was undergoing training without any major responsibilities (plus, I apparently hadn’t discovered new ways of spending the increased income). However, our spending took a turn for […]

A Second Look at the Federal Reserve

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 12:27:03 +0000

Did you know the Federal Reserve is a privately held company?
Look it up in your local phone book. You will NOT find them in the Government section as one might think, however, you will find them in the business section. In fact, the Federal Reserve is as much a government entity as is Federal Express.
So where does our money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magician’s secrets are unveiled. Here is a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, the pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money and the Federal Reserve.
A boring subject? Just wait. You’ll be hooked in five minutes. It sounds like a detective story, which it really is, but it’s all true. Based on Mr. Griffin’s book of the same title, this address will shatter your old ideas about money and change the way you view […]
