Quoted "...the 80-day moving average coincides with October's low. Should the May-June-July pattern repeat, the 80-day moving average will again hold as support following a decline of roughly 7%. This would imply the patient will recover, just in time for what has traditionally been a positive period in the market."

Unlocking ClickBank: Quit The Rat Race

2009-10-23T15:53:00Z

Yeah, I know, that's the headline that caught my attention too. Many of the ClickBank "crack the code" type sites out there make lots of promises, but I'm always skeptical about gurus making unrealistic claims of making $1,000 dollars an hour in your underwear. In any event, I did come across Unlocking ClickBank recently and found this approach quite refreshing. I highly recommend you investigating further.

Speaking of a fresh approach, sometimes in life it seems that's all we need to take whatever were doing to the next level. Regarding Unlocking ClickBank, the one thing it won't do for you is waste your time. Using proven methods, the developer will show you how to finally earn a living as a ClickBank affiliate, but without all the fluffy fluff that is so often found on other Internet Marketing How-To sites. Besides all that, what is altogether different is the fact that all the training is in a easy-to-follow video format. I think you absolutely owe it to yourself to take a look at this one, people.

Also, I would urge you to keep in mind as you review the ClickBank video tutorial, keep an open mind. That always helps in business, and especially when you're searching for a "right fit". That is in fact how I found the program.

All the best.

Clickbank Marketplace Beats A Day Job

2009-10-08T16:12:00Z

Over the years, Clickbank Marketplace has turned out to be probably the best way for everyday people to reach financial freedom; especially when they hate the constraints of their typical corporate or regular day jobs. I can say with confidence that It's been a humongous hit among lots of people as the Internet has grown and continues to grow.

Most work-at-home concepts such as those employed by Clickbank are successful because they rely on starting with relatively little cost. A low-cost start-up can easily become a profitable one, by the way. Certainly that's not hard to figure out, but compared for example to starting a traditional brick-and-mortar business; the expense of offices, inventory, suppliers payments, etc., the cost would be massive -- cast prohibitive for most people, in fact.

So, if we take the time to look at Internet money-making concepts however, you'll see that it is not this difficult to get started. That's mainly due to the fact that without the need for inventory, your business is pared down to a mere Internet connection and needs of nothing more. I mention Clickbank because I happen to believe it's the most efficient and trusted of all, or most Internet marketing systems out there. Keeping that in mind, you can also attain not only financial freedom, but also geographic freedom by leveraging concepts such as Clickbank to work just about anywhere your heart desires. There is also the advantage of speed in order to reach markets online -- Millions of people searching for information that you can provide. The concept at work is truly that powerful.

This is among the many reasons that people love working online. An additional benefit; you get to spend time with your family and friends or whatever you wish. You can be a desert island for that matter and continue to work worry-free of bosses or corporate hierarchy.

If we look at some of the most successful companies out there today, they include Internet companies such as eBay, Google, Amazon, Yahoo and others. The thing to remember is that just 15 short years ago, many of these companies did not even exist. It is amazing what the Internet has done for the founders of these companies and to be honest, the same benefit applies to you if you start working online and see how easy it potentially can be -- generating a lot of income. Even extra income can be derived through a concept such as Clickbank Marketplace so, why waste another minute? Check out what you might have been missing.

Article Submission Pays Off In The Long Run

2009-08-31T10:58:00Z

As noted in my brief Top 5 Reasons To Submit Articles To E-zines post in my other Home Business blog, I stated that an important part of your Web 2.0 strategy should include a proactive approach to Article Marketing and Submission. For that reason, I strongly recommended submitting articles to the most popular e-zines so you could attract more exposure for your business and more web traffic to your site.

Yes, this is a great strategy and essential if you want to gain an advantage over your competition. But don't stop there because there are numerous other methods to seize the opportunity. Let's be honest, gaining massive exposure for your site is not the easiest thing in the world to accomplish, but on the other hand, your hard work and dedication to your field of expertise should be rewarded if your good at crafting articles that meet peoples needs. Through intelligent article submission you get to develop you brand, your web site, your business and yourself, while at the same time, become recognized as an expert in your field. Obviously, this strategy will give your business more credibility.

Expanding just a bit more on the subjects of article submission and article marketing, I am also a strong proponent and user of Squidoo; a highly efficient and Google-friendly recommendation site/community. Along those lines, I would be remiss if I didn't mention HubPages which I'm just getting started with.

Well, hope these suggestions help in whatever your up to. Good luck in your efforts.

New Development: Forex Beta Testers In Beta

2009-08-05T11:08:00Z

One of my goals this year was (and is) to take my Stock/Forex trading business to a new level. One of the key objectives therefore was to create and implement a plan for asset protection. I accomplished this by taking the first step earlier in 2009 by incorporating my business. This I believe is necessary for any Active Trader who is serious about making a living in these crazy economic times. You just can't have enough tools for preserving your hard earned money and that is what asset protection is all about. This should be a foundation for good planning and business development even if your trading business has only one employee -- you.

Now, expanding on that theme, I decided that I would like to help others who are getting involved in the Markets protect their assets by promoting methods that encourage a more disciplined approach to trading. Something I think is lacking in the trading community at large -- especially where newcomers are concerned. For that reason, I am currently involved in developing a new site called Forex Beta Testers. I also have something in the works for new Stock and Options traders down the line, but I feel the time is right for Forex because there just seems to be a proliferation of bad information (and bad trades) in this market.

Fact: 95% of Forex Traders lose money.

Do you think there's a market for a better way to trade Forex? I think so.

Forex Beta Testers will set out as a select group of professional traders dedicated to and passionate about educating the trading community at large. No doubt, trading Forex can be a daunting task even for those who call themselves advanced traders. We are going to help beginners, as well as seasoned traders better understand and utilize advanced, yet simple tactics to maximize profit potential (and minimize loss) no matter what market conditions exist in Currencies.

Of course, there are never any guarantees that a trading method or methods will work 100% of the time. That would be an unrealistic assumption. However, there are ways to improve your winning percentages and protect against excessive loss. Through some very unique and recent Forex trading discoveries brought to the fore by my mentor, Bill Poulos; a 35-year trading veteran, the goal is to assist Active Traders in their quest to become successful INDEPENDENT traders.

The new site is live, but please keep in mind it's definitely a work in progress. I guess you can say the Forex Beta Testers are still in beta!

CPA Arbitrage; Something New To Review

2009-07-15T17:36:00Z

Right off the bat, let me inform you that CPA Arbitrage has nothing to do with your accountant. No, but your Certified Public Accountant might want to take a look at CPA Arbitrage once they learn about the tremendous cash flow potential here. Seriously though, I wouldn't want my readers to miss the boat on this one. That would be like missing the boat on Google AdWords three or four years ago. So check out the CPA Arbitrage Website and get a glimpse at what's on the horizon for savvy Affiliate Marketers.

Basically, the program offers a simple yet effective way of marketing WITHOUT having to sell anything. Nice, eh? The way to accomplish that is through CPA networks.

Okay, I know you're asking the burning question; what does CPA stand for? Well, it stands for Cost-Per-Action or Cost-Per-Acquisition. What it actually refers to is that advertisers are willing to pay you top dollar simply for sending them traffic or generating leads. Hint: Whether or not you choose to believe it, traffic and lead generation ARE the future of Affiliate Marketing. The leads could be a zip code, an e-mail address, their mailing address--anything. The important thing to know about CPA Arbitrage is that it doesn't need to be a sale. All you do is get targeted visitors -- cheaply and send them to an offer. You then get paid a commission for every lead generated through your CPA Arbitrage.

When you think about it, this concept truly allows you effectively to become a Traffic Broker. You buy traffic from one source for a price; let's say it's from Adwords at 30 cents per click... And then let's say a CPA offer pays you $3.00 per lead. Not all traffic you send will convert into a lead, but let's say one out of four visitors fill out your CPA offer. In this example you paid $1.20 to make $3.00 giving you a profit of $1.80. That may seem like a small profit, but if you find something that consistently converts in this manner, you've found a goldmine!

Now just do the math: Spend one hundred times the amount for traffic at $120, you'll make $180 ($300-$120). Then, increase advertising by ten times and you'll profit $1800... And this is only one CPA offer! You can duplicate this same process with another offer and so on and so forth.

Here's the thing; CPA offers are becoming the hottest, most talked-about subject right now. And I didn't even mention the offers paying $30+ dollars per lead! Really, you need to check this out now: Go to CPA Arbitrage

I Fired My Forex Trading Robot

2009-06-14T20:32:00Z

A word of caution about all those Forex trading robots and automated "black box" trading systems out there. They may not be all they are cracked up to be. In fact, i know some traders in the Forex community that have been wiped out in the Forex markets placing too much trust into artificial intelligence. I'm not saying the robots are bad news for the trading community at large; just not for me. I personally rather have complete control of my accounts and can offer some common sense advice when it comes to optimal Forex trading methods.

So let's take a few minutes to discuss Forex trading methods. It's no secret that we are constantly bombarded with new methods or systems just about on a daily basis now. You want to know exactly what differenciates the right ones to use, the best performing or the most educational. With so many methods, systems and automated programs, the question becomes; How do you select the one that is best for you? ... Or, which method gives you the best opportuntity for Forex trading success?

I've implemented a simple set of rules to follow when Evaluating a Forex Trading Method, course, system or program and today I'm happy to share them with you. First and foremost, any Forex trading method you consider must be complete. By complete, I mean the trading method must teach you the following:

Conditions: The precise conditions under which you can consider a Forex trade to be entered into. These are known as the "setup" conditions and refer to the technical indications (usually) that a Forex trade possibility exists.
Entry Point: The exact point at which you would enter into a Forex trade (price). This refers to the Entry Point (or Entry Rules) and means the price at which a Forex trade would be executed.
Rules: Rules for establishing initial and ongoing Stop loss marks for an open Forex trade. As part of Risk Management, it is imperative, especially in Forex, to have stop losses ALWAYS in place. If a Forex trading method or any Currency trading system for that matter does not teach or define these, you should abandon it. The upshot being that without effective stop loss management you can be easily wiped out in a single Forex trade should the market move against you.
Exit Strategy: The exact points and an effective strategy for exiting a Forex trade. Unlike stocks, you will rarely, if ever, find yourself holding a Forex pair position in the markets for extended periods of time. Therefore, it is also important that a method teach you a strategy for exiting a Forex trade once that trade has become profitable.

Combined, these four elements will help you to eliminate chance plus, actually Streamline and Optimize Your Forex Ttrading process. Without any of these, no Forex trading method, system or program should be considered because in each individual case, traders will be exposed to steep losses or taking poor positions. Keep in mind, not every setup will execute into a trade, nor should every Forex trade be taken. Once implemented, these rules will help to protect you both in evaluating and executing the method when trading Currencies.

Flexible Forex Discovery Shields Against Tanking Economy

2009-06-08T05:02:00Z

Last Fall, during a late-night Forex trading research session, one of the industry's most respected trading educators made a discovery around day trading Forex that he shared with a limited group of traders. Now, six months later, the same trading educator recently facilitated a follow-up research session where he analyzed the amazing results from the initial trading group. Discovered were three different ways to make these trades even better. From what I've seen, no one is trading Forex like this, at least not yet. And, not to mention this completely turns traditional "day trading" on its ear.

As part of the test group, the facilitator recorded a new training video this past weekend that pulls back the covers on this updated discovery and actually reveals how you can shield your portfolio from risk every single time you trade -- especially if you're inexperienced and have little time. Watch the new Flexible Forex Discovery Video

THE BIG SURPRISE? During his research, he confirmed what I (and others) suspected for a long time: The collapsing global stock markets and economies are creating pressures that, in turn, are creating more profit potential than we've ever seen before in the Forex markets. That may come as a big surprise, especially if you're new to trading, but he explains in his training video why this is happening, and how you can get in on it. You'll also discover how you can literally TRIPLE your profit potential when you use a little-known trick that has to do with the predominant trend. Also (and this is important), two "retracement tricks" most traders flat-out miss, which, if you know how to spot them, can turn an otherwise losing trade into a profit powerhouse.

If you're interested in Forex, or have been a little spooked by what's been going on in the markets, then this may be the most important trading video you'll ever see this year. Why? Because after you watch it, you'll be SCRAMBLING to start trading Forex this way. It finally brings flexibility and customization to Forex daytrading so that ANYONE can have an edge, whether you have only twenty minutes to trade, or if you have all day. Your choice. It's awesome (and surprisingly simple).

Watch the Flexible Forex Discovery Video and sign-up for updates as they occur. You'll be glad you did.

What's Up Wednesday: ClickBank Refresher

2009-05-27T12:37:00Z

You probably already know, but for the sake of anybody who is new to the world of Internet Marketing and is looking for viable home business ideas for that matter, ClickBank most definitely deserves your attention.

Founded in 1998, ClickBank has in fact become the most trusted source for digital products on the Internet. Digital products by the way, are simply e-products or services; the kind that can be downloaded such as e-books or subscriptions. ClickBank is also quite well known for being established as the preferred online retail outlet for over 12,000 digital product vendors and their more than 100,000 active affiliates. So without question, they are certainly recognized as an Internet Marketing powerhouse to say the least.

Did you know that ClickBank makes a sale somewhere in the world every three seconds? That's right, it's true! If you choose to investigate further, you'll learn that they currently serve over 200 countries, and are consistently ranked as one of the most highly trafficked sites on the web. Most impressive.

ClickBank is privately held with offices in Broomfield, Colorado and Boise, Idaho. I'm waiting for that IPO.

Perhaps the Greatest Stock Pick of 2009

2009-05-18T14:06:00Z

This is the story of a small and rather mundane record company -- until now perhaps. It also just so happens to be the long awaited Jason Kelly recommendation that his subscribers were clamoring for recently. So not surprisingly, the news is making the rounds in trading circles most notably because kelly is putting his reputation on the line.

The scoop is that last Friday, UOMO Media, Inc announced in a press release the launch of their new subsidiary "Ad UOMO". This new business model is quite ingenious as the company intends to use existing relationships with music stars such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Britney Spears and Celine Dion among others to broker deals between advertisers and artists.

It's ingenious because the model enables businesses to put their products into music videos and their brand names into song lyrics as easily as buying newspaper ad space (which by the way, newspapers going the way of the dinosaur, looks like a smart move here)! The upshot is that UOMO is one of the first companies looking to introduce product placement to the music industry on a "production line" type scale. This is much the same concept we see in the movies so often these days; as the mega star sips from a can of Diet Coke.

The stock UOMO actually doubled today at the open as I have been monitoring it's performance per stock guru Jason Kelly who said in an email, he would retire as a stock picker if this stock didn't triple this week. I know, that sounds like a pretty bold statement so I'm watching this like a hawk.

Currency Trading; The Ins and Outs

2009-05-12T01:46:00Z

Currency trading, also known as Foreign Exchange (Forex) is in many ways different from trading stocks, but the benefits and risks are similar. This is mostly due to the fact that Forex price behavior of so-called "pairs" i.e., EUR/USD is different and in fact, involves abrupt price swings. Given this scenario, traders should absolutely employ trading methods that differ from those used to trade stocks so that they may fully realize Currency Trading Profits while still minimizing risk.

Both Forex and stocks, however, are similar in that they develop repeatable price trends that give enlightened traders significant profit opportunities on a more consistent basis. Call it technical trading if you will, but suffice to say traders with strong trading methods, disciplined trading mindsets and sound money management tactics will gain a distinct advantage in this business.

One of the reasons Forex has gained in popularity is the concept of leverage. This allows Forex traders to take positions with a much smaller account size than would be required for trading stocks, and since margin requirements on Forex are smaller than for stocks, the reward ratio for profitable trades increases--as well as the risk. For example, most brokers offer at least 100:1 leverage, which is adequate in order to generate significant profits while maintaining sound risk management. On the other hand, some brokers will offer up to 400:1 leverage--but the risk/reward ratio isn't in favor of the trader.

The take-away therefore from this synopsis is that leverage, combined with reduced margin requirements and high profit potential are the real driving forces behind this rapidly expanding Forex trading market.

35-Year Trading Professional Shares Secrets

2009-05-08T13:34:00Z

As of this writing, the Dow is hanging around 8500. The Bulls have been running rampant these days and the question looming around trading circles is; which way is the Market headed in the midst of this wicked economy? I've noticed too there exists an inordinate amount of bullishness seething from the media, to which for the most part I ignore. My best advise is don't get your trading ideas from the TV. Ask any Cramerican who bought the Dow at 14,000 last year. In any event, every serious trader I know seems to be scrambling around looking for answers. Who's got the know-how on navigating these volatile times and who in the world is going to be proactive instead of reactive?

I'll tell you; his name is Bill Poulos, a 35+year trading veteran whose methods I subscribe to, systems I use, and whose programs I strongly recommend.

A few months ago, Bill released a mega multi-media powerhouse of complimentary stock trading training videos and reports that were designed specifically for today's markets. It's the same methodology used by select groups of traders who actually know the highest-probability and lowest-risk ways to capture profit potential these uncertain economic times. If you have any interest in the Stock Market whatsoever, watch the introductory video and pick up all the training material that's available. You won't regret it. If you're like me, you'll really appreciate his candor, honesty, and "what works now" presentation. Trade well!

Delicious Experiments with Automated Blog Post Bookmark Entries

2009-05-02T12:10:00Z

That's Delicious, the popular social bookmarking service, of course. Until recently I was only using it as a convenience and as a way to keep track of what I deem articles of interest; particularly where my trading business is concerned. if you're new to all this just know that Delicious enables its users to tag, save, manage and share web pages from a central resource. In that way Delicious can greatly enhance how people discover, remember and share information on the Internet.

Even better, I just learned the bookmarking site now has an experimental feature that automatically posts entries to a user's blog on a daily basis if they wish -- Posts which very well can contain your latest links. Great news if you're looking for a linking strategy that costs zero dollars!

Here's how it works: Once you've established a Delicious account. Go to the "Settings" tab where you'll notice a number of utilities. Scroll down to the "Blogging" section, follow the instructions and you're good to go. The blog posting feature creates a daily post of your latest bookmarks to your blog. The information is then stored in your Delicious account where you may edit or delete content at any time. The "experimental feature" as Delicious is referring to it right now supports Movable Type, Typepad, Wordpress, and other kinds of blog software.

Discussing Google AdWords Over Lunch With Perry Marshall

2009-04-21T23:58:00Z

It's not often I get to say that I had lunch with an Internet Marketing legend, but today I can. Perry Marshall, renown author, speaker, and business consultant was in Chicago today and I was invited to lunch as a member of his Renaissance Club. Perry was in town giving a seminar presentation on "How To Double Your Sales in 12 Months", arguably the best nuts and bolts, no nonsense marketing event I've had the pleasure of attending in recent memory. That's Perry Marshall and I pictured here.

Known as "The Wizard of Google AdWords" Perry is one of the world's leading specialists on buying search engine traffic. His books on Google advertising including the ever-popular Definitive Guide to Google Adwords are the most popular in the world. Perry is quoted frequently on the Internet and most notably in USA Today, the Chicago Tribune and Entrepreneur Magazine.

During a lunchtime break at the seminar I asked Perry what he thought was the most effective use of copy in a three-line Google Ad; meaning should the copy constitute a sentence or three separate phrases to attract the interest of the prospect. Perry's response was that he preferred phrasing and that it should have a rhythm of sorts. Very interesting because I'm left with the impression that Perry Marshall treats Google Adwords much like an art form. As well he should. Perry is the foremost Google AdWords expert.

It was indeed a pleasure meeting Perry Marshall. I look forward to discussing his brilliant concepts in further detail in the space. Look for more info coming soon on Home Business Hints.

Bulls Beware The Bearish Bias

2009-04-07T16:55:00Z

I wrote an article today that I posted over at Squidoo; something I call The Bear Market Daily News. Well, I made some observations while analyzing a chart of the S&P Index that changed my mind about which way I believe the market will turn--at least for this week. There's one thing about being an Active Trader that should be noted; you have to be nimble enough to change your position, go into cash or adjust and evaluate your trades.

Looking at S&P Futures this morning, they were down -14 points in the pre-market so that definitely influenced my trading today. Just a couple of days ago I was somewhat bullish I think mainly due to the fact that VectorVest, a service of which I am a subscriber, marked a "confirmed up" signal on 3/26. To their credit, they are correct 95% of the time. But if the market does not follow through and at the same time the technicals make sense to me, I have to consider that; particularly when trading options as I do. As always, I'm exercising caution as a 2009 slide could very well precede any sustained Bull Market action.

Post Financial Fools, London Calling For Big Rally

2009-04-02T11:25:00Z

Looking at futures today on Thursday, April 2, 2009, 7:14am Central Time, S&P Futures are up 14.50 points. Notes from my trading journal today entered pre-market have me feeling somewhat bullish today -- A 2% rally on the Dow yesterday,4/1, S&P futures this morning, and foreign markets all sharply up; no wonder. Interesting too that London's FTSE is up 2.5% at midday following yesterday's "foolish" demonstration yesterday at the G20 meeting. I'm talking about the goofs clashing with riot police dubbing it Financial Fools Day; as they broke into a heavily guarded Royal Bank of Scotland. Fools yeah, thought those young Brits had more class. I guess not.

In any event, back to the Bulls, I'm considering as well, an aforementioned (in previous post) a confirmed "market up" signal from VectorVest on 3/26. This does seam to be poised to follow through now. I'm including in this post, an article I found on "Growth Stock Wire" http://www.growthstockwire.com/archive/2009/mar/2009_mar_31.asp to back-up my bullishness; at least until market close on Friday, April 3. Beyond that, I'll exercise caution as the 2009 Bear Market I believe has yet to bottom.

Futures Down Vector Up

At this very moment, Friday, March 27, 2009 at 8:25am Central Time, the S&P Futures are down 11.50 points, while at the same time, a service that I subscribe to; VectorVest is signaling a "Market Call Up" in it's analysis formed after market close yesterday. I see therefore, a tricky trading day ahead and what amounts to as quite possibly a pivotal day. I say this because I'm also looking at a 6-month chart of the Dow hinting at a breakthrough of what I have previously noted to be second-level resistance. If indeed the Bulls have there way, there might be a stampede of buyers into the rally from yesterday. The Dow finished up 175 points on Thursday.

So, what do you think... Are you Bullish or Bearish today?
