Indeks hari ini sempat rebound pada sesi II dipengaruhi oleh pergerakan indeks regional yang bergerak naik. Sampai dimanakah pergerakan liar IHSG setelah hari ini,..?</span><br />

<span class="fullpost">Dari chart yang sudah lama saya tidak perhatikan, pergerakan IHSG hari ini tertahan di 3735 namun terdapat shawdow yang tembus kebawah cukup dalam. Jika pergerakan DOW malam ini masih menunjukan kemengan si bear... maka masih sangat mungkin IHSG menembus supportnya untuk kembali diuji pada support 3300. Cukup menyeramkan untuk para trader yang masih oneng dengan kenaikan IHSG yang sudah menembus level terbaru hingga 4100.</span><br />

By opening a online demo trading account, a trading simulator allows you to perfect order entry and exits all while learning the personality of the market you are trading. I personally urge you to review all trades you have done on a daily basis and diligently keep a trading journal. Some trading simulator's have the ability to replay market data, which allows a trader to review the market's action and learn from trading mistakes that were made. The advantage of this is that you can speed up, slow down, rewind and learn.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">When you have become comfortable with your trading using the Trading Simulator your next step should be to fund an account and start small using real money. You will want to have a brokerage that has excellent human support in case you run into a problem trading. Remember you can make all the mistakes you want trading on a simulator but when it comes to<a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/2010/02/10-golden-rules-for-stock-trading.html"> trading with real money</a> it can cost you!

<span style="font-size: small;">Utilizing a Futures or <a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><b>Forex Day Trading Simulator</b></a> will help a trading simulate the mechanics of Day Trading. A trading simulator will allow a person to enter a market order to buy or sell. A trading simulator will allow a trader to practice stop orders or limit orders. A trader can even practice less used orders like OCOs, MITs, and SCOs on a <b>Trading Simulator</b>. Traders can practice cancel-replacing orders on the trading simulator. The trading simulator will also allow a trader to practice how to cancel an order outright. One of the nicest features with using a demo account is one click trading to place, amend or cance orders. Most Trading Simulators will have a demo account feature that will allow you to track money you make or lose.

Players are like Institutional managers, stockbrokers, traders, investors and also yourself have these two emotions that drive force when trading in the <a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/">stock market</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="fullpost" style="font-size: small;">You may talk to yourself that greed and fear will be never in your way of trading, but believe it or not these emotion will appears once your finger want to make a online transaction whether click to buy or click to sell. These emotions of greed and fear are not something to be ashamed but something real you have to face to face with and admit to that they are around you.<br />
<br />
What kind of <b>greed and fear</b> look like in the stock market ? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It is supposed you have analyze and watch a particular stock for some period of time. It has set up perfectly, so you pull the trigger. Then base on your analyze skill you bought a stock at the perfect price and now waiting it is moving higher and higher just as you thought it would.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">On this moment greed steps up to the plate and tell you something through your subconscious mind, this stock price is going to be a rocket stock. Then you buy some more shares. On this situation Greed tells you again that this stock is going higher tomorrow so you hang on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&tag=humrsoblo-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&search-alias=aps&field-keywords=trading" target="_blank">Search Amazon.com for trading</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=humrsoblo-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=" style="border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important; padding: 0px ! important;" width="1" /><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=humrsoblo-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=0470521457&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe>When stocks make strong moves to the upside greed from all the cumulative market participants joins the move. Don’t forget that stock prices usually fall faster then they go up, and when this happens, fear now steps up to the plate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Lets look at the example above, where your stock went through your get out price and you held on because greed was by your side. The next morning the stock price gaps down. Their is heavy selling all morning long. Greed is telling you to hang in there the price will come back. The price keeps going down, now you get a knot in your gut, and your knuckles are turning white. Fear is now by your side, but by now it is to late, your nice profit has turned into a loss.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Everyone goes through this until they have mastered the ugly faces of greed and fear. Master this and you are well on your way to becoming a <a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/2010/02/10-golden-rules-for-stock-trading.html%0A">successful stock trader</a>.<br />

When you follow your rules you make money. However if you break your own stock trading rules the most likely outcome is that you will lose money.<br /><br />Once you have a reliable set of stock trading rules it is important to keep them in mind. Here is one discipline that can reap rewards. Read these rules before your day starts and also read the rules when your day ends.<br /><br />Rule 1: I must follow my rules.<br /><br />Naturally if you develop a set of rules they are to be followed. It is human nature to want to vary or break rules and it takes discipline to continue to act in accordance with the established rules.<br /><br />Rule 2: I will never risk more than 3% of my total portfolio on any one stock trade.<br /><br />There are many old traders. There are many bold traders. But there are never any old bold traders. Protecting your capital base is fundamental to successful stock market trading over time.<br /><br />Rule 3: I will cut my losses at 5% to 15% when I am wrong without question.<br /><br />Some traders have an even lower tolerance for loss. The key point here is to have set points (stop loss) within the limits of your tolerance for loss. Stay informed about the performance of you stock and stick to your stop loss point.<br /><br />Rule 4: Never set price targets.<br /><br />This is a style that will allow me to get the most out of rising stocks. Simply let the profits run. Realistically, I can never pick tops. Never feel a stock has risen too high too quickly. Be willing to give back a good percentage of profits in the hope of much bigger profits.<br /><br />The big money is made from trading the really BIG moves that I can occasionally catch.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />Rule 5: Master one style.<br /><br />Keep learning and getting better at this one method of trading. Never jump from one trading style to another. Master one style rather than become average at implementing several styles.<br /><br />Rule 6: Let price and volume be my guides.<br /><br />Never listen to any opinion about the stock market or individual stocks you are considering trading or are already trading. Everything is reflected in the price and volume.<br /><br />Rule 7: Take all valid signals that show up.<br /><br />Don't make excuses. If an entry signal shows up you have no excuse not to take it.<br /><br />Rule 8: Never trade from intra-day data. There is always stock price variation within the course of any trading day. Relying on this data for momentum trading can lead to some wrong decisions.<br /><br />Rule 9: Take time out.<br /><br />Successful stock trading isn't solely about trading. It's also about emotional strength and physical fitness. Reduce the stress every day by taking time off the computer and working on other areas. A stressful trader will not make it in the long term.<br /><br />Rule 10: Be an above average trader.<br /><br />In order to succeed in the stock market you don't need to do anything exceptional. You simply need to not do what the average trader does. The average trader is inconsistent and undisciplined. Ask yourself every day, "Did I follow my method today?" If your answer is no then you are in trouble and it's time to recommit yourself to your stock trading rules.<br /><br /><br /><br /></span>Rings & Diamondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637257663232106358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594758170110279311.post-30018400112372856142011-05-29T01:00:00.000-07:002011-05-29T01:15:40.641-07:00Divergence - Sebuah Trading Indicator<p>Arah indikator biasanya mengikuti arah harga.

However, before we even do that, it is imperative to know how a company earns its profit. Does it do that by selling to consumers? licensing its technology to other companies? or extracting natural resources from the ground?<br /><br />The sensible way to do it is by reading the company's annual report. What is an annual report? Annual report is yearly publication by public companies to better inform investor about the company's line of business. Annual report gives investors a glance of the company's line of business, financial health as well as management's strategies for doing business.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Let's look at CNET Networks Inc. The company trades in the NASDAQ market with symbol: CNET. What does CNET do? I know CNET owns cnet.com. But do you know that it also owns download.com, MP3.com, ZDnet.com and News.com ? How do I know that? Yep, you guess it. CNET's Annual Report will gives you all that.<br /><br />From CNET's annual report, we can do a little digging for CNET's internet traffic. As of August 27th 2005, these websites of CNET attracts 3 % of all internet traffic. Pretty impressive, considering that Google holds 23% of all internet traffic. On April 2005, Google had 78.6 million unique visitors. By comparing this metric, we might have an idea CNET's revenue potential for the month of August. I will not go into that but this shows how useful reading CNET's annual report is. Reading an annual report serves as the first step towards investing in a particular company.<br /><br />How do we obtain annual report? There are several sources for this. First is the companies own website. You are interested in knowing more about CNET Networks? You can get the annual report by going to http://www.cnet.com and go to its shareholder relation. After several clicks, you can then download the annual report.<br /><br />Or ... you can go to some websites that offer complete annual report for a number of different companies in alphabetical order. Our website is one of them. Admittedly, while having hundreds of annual reports in one place is convenient, it is not as thorough as what the company's own website has to say.<br /></span>Rings & Diamondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637257663232106358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594758170110279311.post-9033882797827917992011-04-16T21:48:00.000-07:002011-04-16T21:53:56.893-07:00Stock Trading Success - 10 Golden RulesYour <a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/2011/04/stock-trading-success-10-golden-rules.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">stock trading rules</span></a> are your money.

This market is similar to the stock market, as people buy and sell, but the market and the over all results are much much larger. Those involved in the forex trading markets include the Deutsche bank, UBS, Citigroup, and others such as HSBC, Braclays, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan Chase, and still others such as Goldman Sachs, ABN Amro, Morgan Stanley, and so on.<br /><br />To get involved in the<a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/"> forex trading markets</a>, contacting any of these large broker assistance firms is going to be in your best interest. Sure, anyone can get involved in the forex market, but it does take time to learn about what is hot, what is not, and just where you should place your money at this time. <span class="fullpost"><br /><br />International banks are the markets biggest users on the forex markets, as they have millions of dollars to invest daily, to earn interest and this is just one method of how banks make money on the money you save in their bank. Think about the bank that you deal with all the time. Do you know if you can go there, and obtain money from 'another' country if you are heading out on vacation? If not, that bank is most likely not involved in forex trading. If you have to know if your bank is involved in forex trading, you can ask any manager or you can look at the financial information sheets that banks are to report to the public on a quarterly baiss.<br /><br />If you are new to the forex market, it is important to realize there is no one person or one bank that controls all the trades that occur in the<a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/"> forex markets</a>. Various currencies are traded, and will originate from anywhere in the world. The currencies that are most often traded in the forex markets include those of the US dollar, the Eurozone euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound sterling and the Swiss franc as well as the Australian dollar. These are just a few of the currencies that are traded on the forex markets, with many other counties currencies to be included as well. The main trading centers for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">forex trading markets are located in Tokyo, New York and in London</span> but with other smaller trading centers located thought out the world as well.</span>Rings & Diamondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637257663232106358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594758170110279311.post-2770418912277809512011-02-21T04:53:00.000-08:002011-02-21T04:58:06.873-08:00Practicing in the Forex MarketSo you want to <a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/">learn about the Forex market</a>, and trading internationally but you are risking your personal wealth if you jump in before knowing all about how trading takes place. Online, you will find many games and simulations while learning the methods involved in forex market trading. The forex markets include countries from around the world, where all countries involved are using different currencies, and when faced against each other are worth more or less than the original valued currencies that are being traded. The forex markets are used to build wealth in, for governments, banks, and brokers, and for many countries.<br /><br />To get started in <a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/">learning about forex trading</a>, you will need to locate the forex trading software, education-learning system you want to use. As you find the games, as they are called, you will enter information about yourself, about what you are interested in learning and then you will download software to your computer. In following the 'game', you will learn how to make and lose money in the forex market. This type of game is going to make you more aware of what happens daily, how the markets open and close, and how different the various countries currencies really are.<br /><br />You will open an online 'account' using the gaming system. You will then be able to read the news, find and compare markets, and you will be able to make 'fake' trades so you can watch your money build or be eaten away in losses. As you learn the system, using it a few times a week, you are going to be more prepared, more educated and you will be ready to use the forex trades to make money. Of course, you may still need the aid of broker or a company to make your transactions happen but you will better understand the process, what will happen, and what calls you may want to make when you read about the news, the markets, and the currencies in other countries.<br /><br />The forex market is also referred to as the FX market. If you are interested in joining the millions who are making money in the forex markets, you want to ensure you are dealing with a reputable banker or company involved in forex trading. With the spur of interest in the forex markets, there are many types of companies that are popping out on the Internet appearing to be genuine forex trading companies but in reality, they are not. Forex trading can be completed through a broker, a company that deals in the funds, and from within your own country. For example, the US has many regulations and laws regarding forex trading and what companies are permitted to work with the public dealing with international trading and markets.Rings & Diamondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637257663232106358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594758170110279311.post-31435617693194891282010-10-07T05:52:00.000-07:002010-10-07T05:53:29.049-07:00The Benefits Of Self-Employed Health Insurance<span class="fullpost">Some people shy away from self-employment because of not receiving a 401K, health benefits, and a pension.

Now, under the category of self-employment you may be earning $100,000 each 12 months.

These 3 tips will help reduce the risk of a risky investment vehicles.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Penny Stocks are a penny due.</span><br />While we all dream about investing in the next Microsoft or Home Depot, the truth is, the odds of you noticed that when a decade of success are slim. These companies are either starting out and have a shell company because it is cheaper than the IPO, or they simply do not have a business plan compelling enough to the bank's money just in the IPO. This does not mean they are bad investments, but it should make you be realistic about the kind of company you invest in<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Trading volumes</span><br />Search for a consistently high share of trade. View the average volume can be misleading. If ABC trades 1000000 shares today, and at the end of the week, shows the daily average of 200,000 shares. In order enough and from the proceeds, you must have a consistent amount. Investigate the number of transactions per day. Is it an insider sell or buy? Liquidity is the first thing to look at. If you are not qualified, you end up holding "dead money", where the only way to sell shares to the dump, an offer that sets new selling pressure, which is even lower the selling price.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Does the company knows how to make a profit?</span><br />Although it is not uncommon to create the company saw losses to be carried out, it is important to think about why they lose money. Is it manageable? They have additional funding (which is the dilution of its own shares) to seek, or they have a joint partnership that favors the other company are looking for?Rings & Diamondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637257663232106358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594758170110279311.post-18298136878548883222010-10-07T05:13:00.000-07:002010-10-07T05:34:55.263-07:00Important Rules of Technical Trading<span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >Indonesia Composite is rally up to 3600 and predicted will be 4200 at the end of Y2010. For trader who has get their gain in the last month, I just want to remind that any kind of your trading style the most important thing at the end of trading range is gain.. :)<br /><br />For other reference during trading, herewith <a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">important rules of technical trading</span></a> that I always try to implement.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Map the Trends</span> : Study long-term charts. Begin a chart analysis with monthly and weekly charts spanning several years. A larger scale map of the market provides more visibility and a better long-term perspective on a market. Once the long-term has been established, then consult daily and intra-day charts. A short-term market view alone can often be deceptive. Even if you only trade the very short term, you will do better if you're trading in the same direction as the intermediate and longer term trends.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spot the Trend and Go With It</span> : Determine the trend and follow it. Market trends come in many sizes – long-term, intermediate-term and short-term. First, determine which one you're going to trade and use the appropriate chart. Make sure you trade in the direction of that trend. Buy dips if the trend is up. Sell rallies if the trend is down. If you're trading the intermediate trend, use daily and weekly charts. If you're day trading, use daily and intra-day charts. But in each case, let the longer range chart determine the trend, and then use the shorter term chart for timing.<br /><br />well.. that's two of ten the important trading rules that I always rely on. The others will post later after get more practice :)<br /></span>Rings & Diamondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637257663232106358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594758170110279311.post-49388857710929611082010-09-27T06:56:00.000-07:002010-09-27T07:04:20.434-07:00What Makes Your Exhibit the Most Attractive One on the Floor?<span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;" >As you want to boost your product sales, you are thinking to open a sales and promotion booth on a local trade show.

Here are the facts based on my research and extensive real time experience.<br /><br />If you want to be a successful stock market timer, you need three key elements:<br /><br />1. A system that actually works.<br /><br />2. Discipline to follow the system.<br /><br />3. Patience to stick with the system long enough to make it work for you.<br /><br />And it’s tough to do all three.<br /><br />Here’s why:<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Most market timing systems don’t work. Or don’t work consistently enough to be valid. Some will work in trending markets but get slaughtered during flat times. Most systems don’t work in all markets.<br /><br />Investors lack the discipline to follow a proven system. Once an investor finds a viable program, he or she needs the discipline to follow it. Sadly, some either can’t or won’t do that. When they let their own judgment or intuitions interfere, they don’t get the results they want or could have enjoyed by simply following the buy and sell signals they receive.<br /><br />Investors lack the patience to stick with their system. Many investors are constantly in search of the Holy Grail, a program that never loses a trade. The fact is, no method will win every trade, and investors without patience will find themselves hopping from advisor to advisor with no rewards to show for their efforts.<br /><br />However, there are a number of proven systems available that recognize these pitfalls and successfully time the market to massive profits year after year. Anything you hear or read to the contrary is simply not true. Wall Street has a vested interest in opposing stock market timing because it is a threat to their very existence.<br /><br />Investors have two choices. They can pursue the conventional wisdom of buy and hold and hope for the best, or the modern investor can educate himself and find a timing system with which he is comfortable to protect and grow his wealth. There are a number of proven options available, but the absolute worst thing one can do is listen to the pundits who tell you that <a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/2010/02/researching-stock-trade-before.html">“stock market timing"</a> doesn't work.<br /><br /></span>Rings & Diamondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637257663232106358noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594758170110279311.post-76150016113759794722010-02-24T04:52:00.000-08:002010-02-24T04:52:00.272-08:00Choosing a StockbrokersIt is true that even though you can choose your own investments you must still use a stockbroker to execute the orders. You do not have to rely in their advice though it may be helpful. You can make your own selections but you will still require their services to invest. There was a time when you had no choice about the type of stockbroker to utilize. There was only one type of broker, the full service brokers, and they controlled the market. The commissions that they demanded for their services were very high but this was the industry standard. This contributed to the notion that the stock market and stock market investment were beyond the means of the average person and only for the very affluent. <span class="fullpost"><br />The initial loss of control of the market by these full service brokerages occurred in 1975 and discount brokers emerged. They charged a fraction of the fees the full service brokers did and as such were a big hit on the market. They offered the same great services but were affordable to the average individual as the cost were significantly lower. Another great innovation was the introduction of the internet. This was a great innovation as there was greater trading efficiency as a result. <br />The overall effect of all the changes on the stock market was that individuals now had access to a ton of information that was never accessible to them previously. It is a debate however whether these avenues have in fact enhanced investments and made better investors. In the case of persons that do their homework and seek out the truth behind the hype the answer is a definitive yes. The investors out their can now choose the type of broker they require from the range available.<br />There are four categories of brokers. These are the discount/online broker, the discount broker that provides advice, the full service broker and the money manager. The discount/online broker is basically an order taker. They do not offer advice and will not tell you when to buy or sell a stock. There may be research available and other account management tools but the choice of investment in the stock market is entirely up to you. <br />The variation of the discount/online broker that assists customers is the nest type. They do not offer full consultation services but will have more research than order taking sites. They will offer newsletters and investing tips but most likely not recommend particular stocks. You are not totally on your own with this option but you will still need to do a lot in terms of deciding on the best stock investment. <br />The full service broker will provide recommendations on specific stocks and the broker will also access your financial situation to determine your needs and investment options. This service is suitable for the investor that does not have the interest or time in making their investment decisions. <br />The money manager is made for the investor with a hefty investment sum. This broker will handle only significant portfolios and will invest and manage the entire account for a percentage of the assets under investment. This option can be expensive but very worthwhile in the long run. <br />Whichever option that you choose make sure it suits your purpose and that you are covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Ask about backups and other options in case of technical problems and ensure that your broker has your best interest at heart.<br /><br /></span>Rings & Diamondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637257663232106358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4594758170110279311.post-87047138507851066632010-02-23T03:14:00.000-08:002010-02-23T03:16:10.348-08:00Asian Gains in Dollar WeakenAsian shares led emerging markets higher, with Thailand’s SET Index rising 1.2 percent and Indonesia’s Jakarta Composite Index up 0.8 percent.<br /><br />Dubai’s DFM General Index dropped 2.2 percent, the most in a week, after Moody’s Investors Service said United Arab Emirates banks are owed about 55 billion dirhams ($15 billion) by Dubai World. A report in Al-Ittihad newspaper today that the<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Dubai government </span>allocated 18.3 billion dirhams ($5 billion) to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dubai World</span> on a commercial basis didn’t reflect a new development, a spokeswoman for the emirate’s Department of Finance said.

However, before we even do that, it is imperative to know how a company earns its profit. Does it do that by selling to consumers? licensing its technology to other companies? or extracting natural resources from the ground?<br /><br />The sensible way to do it is by <a href="http://tradingindicator.blogspot.com/2010/01/3-steps-to-profitable-stock-picking.html">reading the company's annual report</a>. What is an annual report? Annual report is yearly publication by public companies to better inform investor about the company's line of business. Annual report gives investors a glance of the company's line of business, financial health as well as management's strategies for doing business.<span class="fullpost"><br /><br />Let's look at CNET Networks Inc. The company trades in the NASDAQ market with symbol: CNET. What does CNET do? I know CNET owns cnet.com. But do you know that it also owns download.com, MP3.com, ZDnet.com and News.com ? How do I know that? Yep, you guess it. CNET's Annual Report will gives you all that.<br /><br />From CNET's annual report, we can do a little digging for CNET's internet traffic. As of August 27th 2005, these websites of CNET attracts 3 % of all internet traffic. Pretty impressive, considering that Google holds 23% of all internet traffic. On April 2005, Google had 78.6 million unique visitors. By comparing this metric, we might have an idea CNET's revenue potential for the month of August. I will not go into that but this shows how useful reading CNET's annual report is. Reading an annual report serves as the first step towards investing in a particular company.<br /><br />How do we obtain annual report? There are several sources for this. First is the companies own website. You are interested in knowing more about CNET Networks? You can get the annual report by going to http://www.cnet.com and go to its shareholder relation. After several clicks, you can then download the annual report.<br /><br />Or ... you can go to some websites that offer complete annual report for a number of different companies in alphabetical order. Our website is one of them. Admittedly, while having hundreds of annual reports in one place is convenient, it is not as thorough as what the company's own website has to say.<br /></span>Rings & Diamondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17637257663232106358noreply@blogger.com0
