Daily Stock Report for Wednesday Morning, February 24, 2010 pt1

The stock market had its biggest drop in three weeks that probably was rattled by the Consumer Confidence numbers that came out today. Expectations was a reading of 55 and came out at 46.

It should not have been a surprise but stock markets don’t need a good reason to do anything. Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke is giving his semi-annual economic report to Congress starting Wednesday and Thursday and will be under a lot of “pressure to perform” and lower the unemployment rate.

The overriding language that the Fed has been using is holding key interest rates to a record low near zero for an “extended period.” The biggest challenge and unpopular decision is the time when the Fed has to raise rates and tighten credit for consumers even while the unemployment rate (currently 9.7%) is still high.

The US Dollar is still on an uptrend which has surprisingly not affected the stock market as much as previous months. The increasing dollar helps our short positions with commodity related stocks including oil and the ag-chemical stocks (MOS and AGU) that are currently short in the stock table.

The retailers earnings report were stronger than expected including Home Depot, Lowes, Macy’s and Target. Obama is scheduled to talk at a business roundtable and we should see the Toyota Motors hearing continue on Wednesday.

It is still unclear whether we are in a pullback within a bull market or whether we have started a downtrend. My hunch is we have started a downtrend that may last for another 4-6 weeks but if we go higher than the January 21st high, then the bull would resume.

Stock Update November 11, 2008

Yes, two ways.

1. PROBABLY BETTER: Set a limit order. You can make it good till cancelled (doesn’t expire) or a day order (expires at the end of the day). Enter for your limit price the MAXIMUM you want to pay for that stock (kind of like eBay). If the price of the stock is, intraday or at the open, EQUAL TO or BELOW the price you set as your limit, the order will trigger and it will attempt to fill for as many shares that are out there at that price. ALL of my orders are limit orders, and I live on the east coast. They’re much better than market orders because you can pick the price you’re buying at, or even get a better deal. Sweet.

2. Alternatively, set a good till cancelled (so it won’t expire overnight by mistake) market order (market order means buy at the current market price) the night before; this will buy as soon as the market opens (9:30 EST) and at whatever price it opens at (you can’t buy at the CLOSE price as you say, but if the stocks don’t trade after hours very much, you’ll probably get pretty close to yesterday’s close).

Good luck!

Is your small business in trouble – 7 signs

It is really hard work running a small business from start up. You have ploughed all your money in, maybe there are months when you haven’t been able to take your own wages. You are responsible for the finances or your employees who rely on you. Cash is always tight and sometimes you wonder whether it would be better just taking a wage and letting someone else run all the risk.

It can be hard to admit it, but you need to recognise when your business is in trouble and that you have to stop putting in your own cash. If you are insolvent you need to take steps to cease trading or you could be responsible for wrongful trading have and to personally pay for company losses to creditors.

You are up to your overdraft limit again

You need to make a payment for supplies, but you have been bouncing along the overdraft ceiling for a few months now. The bank has started to return a few cheques and have even mentioned the need to reduce the overdraft. What do you do? Firstly do not be tempted to get out your own cheque book or Visa card and make payment. You will never get the money back. Every week we see Directors who prop up their businesses with personal cash, 99% of the time it is good money after bad.

The bank won’t lend any more

Whatever we think of banks, there are commercial animals, and yes they have been bailed out by us, and yes they are slow in lending, but they no a bad business decision when they see one, and if you have been unable to show any decent levels of profit they will not fund you. Profit is key without your are going only one way.

Cash flow is non existent

Sell goods and services and get paid for them or you are dead in the water. There is no point in buying in stock which then sits on the shelf. Only buy what you need, turn it over quickly, and get paid for it. There is plenty of advice here and elsewhere about how to get paid quickly. Cash is king – how many times have you heard that. You can make all the sales you want but without getting paid for them, it is pointless.

You are no longer enjoying the business

If you have reached this stage, you will have probably been aware for some time that the business is in trouble. Probably you are taking these worries back home, and this may be affecting marriage or relationships, which causes a downward spiral of depression. Get advice and maybe save a business and a relationship.

The management cannot agree

Often symptomatic of a business going the wrong way. The stresses of running a business and making sure everybody gets paid can affect even the strongest relationships. I have seen friendships destroyed by a business in trouble. As soon as you start to fall out, agree on one thing and that is to take advice.

Loss of a major customer

We see it time and again; small businesses reliant on a small group of suppliers or creditors, who then struggle when one of these themselves becomes insolvent or moves business away. It is ten times harder to get new business than to keep an existing client. If you find yourself too exposed, make an urgent shift to expand your base before it becomes too late/

Disgruntled employees

There can be nothing worse or unsettling in a small workplace that a disaffected or disgruntled employee. Try to resolve the issues, or if you cannot, then take steps to remove that person. If left to fester, it can lead to more unhappiness surfacing, which will affect productivity and absenteeism.

Your question was asked before. Here’s the answer.

“You would definitely be free-riding, and it is a mandatory 90 day freeze on your account, but that doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t be allowed to trade during those 90 days. It just means that you would only be allowed to buy stocks with settled funds. So when you sell a stock, you would have to wait three days before you could use those funds to buy more stock. Currently your broker allows you to use the proceeds of the stock sale immediately, if your account is frozen, you would have to wait the three days. I assume that you do not have a margin account. It would be a good idea to look into getting one. Just for this very reason.

According to SEC rules, if you violate Reg. T it is mandatory that your broker put a 90 day restriction on your account. I can’t tell you how strict Scottrade is about enforcing this rule, because I don’t use Scottrade, and I have never had this problem.”

“I use scottrade and have free-rode once before. You do get a mandatory 90 day restriction. You can trade normally throughout the 90 days without any more free-riding.

The only course of action scottrade takes is:
They call you. If you don’t answer, they leave a message saying ‘call me back.’ If you do, I don’t know what they say- I didn’t answer.

They also leave a message in your account about the restriction. At the bottom you click ‘I have read this,’ then go to your account. Everything is normal.

As a small rant- I wish scottrade would put non-free ridable funds in ‘Total Funds Available for Trading.’ Obviously they are NOT available for trading. Either I’m reading it wrong, or they should really look into this.”

Trading ETFs $37.98 Exchange traded funds (ETFs) have seen an extraordinary increase in popularity in recent years. The ETF lets investors combine the potentially high returns of individual stock trading with the diversification of mutual funds by creating a "basket" of funds.

Exchange Traded Funds and E-Mini Stock Index Futures $38.98 Shows how to use both ETFs and E-Minis for high-powered results Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are a remarkable new tool for trading and investing in broad market segments or narrow sectors. ETF trading volume and asset growth continue to soar at record levels. Ideal for speculating in and hedging as well as long-term investing in the broader markets, these index products work together to diversify and balance any global portfolio. Now, one of the top executives (and experts) in the industry reveals the intricacies of the products, how to use them, and what the future holds. Readers will get sample index portfolios and strategies for all market participants–ranging from the short-term trader to the long-term investor; and from the risk taker to the conservative investor. David Lerman (Chicago, IL) is the Senior Director of Equity Index Products Marketing at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. He has traveled around the globe on behalf of the CME, giving seminars and workshops to retail and institutional audiences, including pension funds, corporations, banks and brokers on risk management/trading using equity index futures and options.

Unsettled Boundaries $9.98 The Oregon Treaty of 1846 recognized the 49th parallel as the mainland border between the United States and British-held territory in the Pacific Northwest. Real disputes began in 1858 with the discovery of gold along the Fraser River, a nearly impenetrable wilderness. Author Robert E. Ficken recounts the story of hordes of American prospectors, as well as several thousand from British and Chinese miners, who raced to the mainland British Pacific Northwest on every form of transportation possible, hoping to "strike it rich." He tells of the extreme hardships they faced, and the determination of some to prevail over brutal weather and the lack of supplies. Ficken also illustrates how "socially undisciplined" frontiersmen and a conglomeration of a few fur-trading posts and forts, initially without any formal governance, became the core of civilization, and describes the pivotal roles played by Sir James Douglas and the Hudson’s Bay Company. Additionally, he relates how two governments avoided serious military confrontation, and discusses how the native people reacted to the massive emigration into their homeland. Ultimately challenging often-held assumptions to the contrary, "Unsettled Boundaries" establishes the Fraser River event as one of the major developments in Pacific Northwest history, one that still impacts residents and travelers in the region on a daily basis.

Wasting Time For Monitoring Your Trading? – Let Automated Forex Robots Help You

Hi,

There’s actually no need to use multiple monitors when trading Forex.

Although multiple monitors do help a trader to better visualise relative price movements (i.e. compare movements between currencies and time frames), you can already do that using multiple “windows” in one single monitor.

Multiple monitors are honestly more a luxury than a necessity, at least at the retail trading level.

Now, to answer your other questions…

The most important thing about being a Forex trader is money management. There are many free resources available on the internet where you can learn from.

About your last question…
There is no specific (or compulsory) time to trade, although there are better times to trade than others. The better times to trade typically coincide with the London and U.S. trading hours because of the high liquidity.

Hope I’ve been of help to you. If you want more information, you may like to get a free copy of my Forex trading report at http://forexsystemprofits.com
