Trading Tips No 7: Developing a Casino Mentality for the Day Trader
I submit that the successful day trader would profit well to adopt a casino mentality. At first glance, this sounds reckless and nothing more than a gambling attitude - but it's not. Why? Because everyone knows that it's the casinos that profit and take in all the money on a consistent basis. And, of course, the patrons end up losing even after brief winning streaks. If you want to profit in the market, ask yourself this question: 1. What do successful day traders and casinos have in common? As a day trader, what if you were the casino - that is, on the winning profiting side. You could expect to profit consistently. You would be unperturbed by an occasional drawdown (like the casinos when someone hits the jackpot), because you know that you potentially will make it back and more.* This is what successful day traders and casinos have in common; they both have a winning system that clearly puts the odds in their favor. The more they "play" or stick with the profit system of their choice, the more likely a positive outcome. It's only a matter of time, because the odds are in their favor.* By thinking like the casino and not the hapless gambler, getting on the right side of the table, putting the odds in your favor, and working the system, the day trader can tap into the same phenomena that built Las Vegas and run away with a killer profit.* If you would like to learn more about becoming a day trader and you have a computer and a burning desire to seize success, then you have what it takes to personally unearth Bill's Astonishing, step by step trading secrets... BUT ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME. http://www.instantprofitstoday.org

How to Calculate the Value of Your U.S. Savings Bonds If you're like many Americans over the age of 55, you've probably had money taken out of your paychecks for years and years in order to purchase U. S. savings bonds. Those bonds are probably sitting in a safe deposit box at your local bank or in a drawer safely tucked away at home. But, while you might know where those bonds are right now, do you have any idea how much they are actually worth? How to Invest Your Money Think carefully on how to invest your money because if you make wrong decisions it could cost you dearly. There are many ways in which to invest your money and as such seeking the advice of a professional would be a very wise move. The information below will help give you a better understanding of some key elements of managing money: Part II of Day Traders and Swing Traders and Options? Maybe! Before every protective put trade it is possible to calculateyour anticipated maximum loss. Use the formula: (stock priceminus strike price) plus option price. For example, suppose youwill pay $30.00 for your stock, and you want no more than a $3.50loss on the position. Then you would choose the $27.50 strikeput which costs $1.00. Following the formula, you take yourstock price ($30.00) and subtract the put's strike price (27.50)which leaves you $2.50. To this $2.50 loss, you then add theamount you spent on the option ($1.00), which gives you acombined, maximum loss of $3.50 for this position. You can setyour loss limit by the strike price of the put you buy and thecost of the put. This formula will work every time. Remember,stock loss, (stock price paid - strike price), plus option cost(option price) equals maximum potential position loss. Quit and Retire Three Years Earlier! For most people, there is a direct correlation between how worried they are about retirement income, and how much they can actually do about it. This is because the more worried you are, the closer you probably are to retirement, and the less time you have to do anything ? like save up. Effective 'saving up' requires time. Time so your money can grow. Save an extra $200 a month, three years before retirement (at age 62), and you'll amass a grand total of $7,887 (averaging 6% growth). Not likely to have a big impact on your retirement lifestyle.

Firstly -- our Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, addressed the effects and implications of our aging population on things such as Social Security again in a speech that he made last Friday. Readers may remember that I also briefly mentioned this issue in my June 24th commentary. I urge you to keep this worldwide phenomenon of the aging population firmly on the back of your minds. If you are like most people, then you earn you living by producing a certain thing ? such as a consumer good, or a service that the masses want. Let's face it ? how many people really "struck it rich" by being pure traders or investment managers? The stock market and other financial markets are definitely very important to us investors/traders but this "super secular trend" of the aging of the worldwide population will impact every aspect of our lives, whether it is losing our relative competitiveness on the world arena, increasing pension and healthcare costs, or even a potential fundamental change of our political system.
