Financial Spread Betting (or Trading) offers a tax free method of speculating on financial markets.

Quite simply, if you think a particular index, share, commodity, currency or sector will rise, you place an UP bet. This also referred to as a Long position or a buy.

On the other hand if you think the particular market will fall you place a DOWN bet (commonly referred to as a Short position or a sell).

The amount of profit you make or money you lose depends on how right or wrong you were and how much you risked per point.

At the time of placing the bet you decide how much you would like to risk per point. This can be as small as £0.01 or a large amount such as £1000+.

Most bets work on either a daily, rolling or contract month basis.

A Daily bet is one which is only open during one particular trading day. You could place the trade at 11am and, if you do not close it beforehand, it will be closed at the end of trading (4.30pm in the case of the FTSE 100).

A Rolling bet is one which, unless you state otherwise, rolls through to the next trading day. This costs a little money and your bookmaker should be able to give you more details.

A trade opened for a particular Contract Month will end up to 3 months in the future. There will be a specific date when the contract finishes known as the Expiry Date or Last Trading Day.

For example: if you opened a trade on the FTSE 100 September contract, the expiry date will be in September, usually the third Friday. The trade will expire at the close of trading on that day.

Some bookmakers also run other types of bets such as weekly and also “Year End”.

Day-traders or “scalpers” will tend to use Daily or Rolling bets but as a beginner it may be wiser to trade over a longer time frame.

If you decide to day trade, bear in mind that you must be correct almost immediately to profit. If you select a longer time scale, you have some breathing space for the trade to turn around.

An example of a trade

It is June and the FTSE 100 is trading at around 5000 and you are confident that it will go higher before September. To back your opinion you decide to use a spread bet.

Logging onto your internet account, the bookmaker quotes you 5010-5020 for the FTSE 100 September contract.

This means that you can buy (go long) at 5020 or sell (go short) at 5010.

Spread betting quotes are always displayed as two seperate prices. You buy at the higher price and sell at the lower one. The “spread” itself (in this case 10) is a charge added by the bookmakers. Different companies have different spreads, some larger than others.

As you are backing the market to go higher, you would buy £1 a point (or however much you like) at 5020.

September arrives and you are close to the expiry date for the contract.

Rather than wait for the last trading day you decide to take your profit as the FTSE 100 is now quoted at 5305-5315.

You close your position by selling £1 per point at 5305.

As you were correct in thinking the FTSE would rise, you have now won £285:

(5305 - 5020) x £1 = £285 tax free

There is no need to hold your position until expiry, you can close it at any time to take your profit or limit your loss.

If the FTSE was trading at 5500 in July, you could have closed then for more profit. All you have to do is log into your account and place another trade in the opposite direction for the same amount per point to close.

Of course, if the FTSE had gone lower in this example you would’ve lost money but you can use stop losses to limit the loss.

By definition, value investing is the process of selecting stocks that trade for less than their intrinsic value. A value investor typically selects stocks with lower than average price-to-book or price-to-earning ratios. Of course, it is not nearly this simple. Value investing is the corner stone of long-term growth. Those who practice it survive the ups and downs of the market and are more likely to emerge wealthy than those who ride the market, in principle, due to the higher quality of the companies falling under the prerequisites of the value investor. Value investing is essentially concerned with getting the most profit at the lowest cost. The basis of value is profit. Value investing is an investment style which favors good stocks at great prices over great stocks at good prices. Value investor extraordinaire Warren Buffett has used this style to become a billionaire.

It’s important to keep in mind that value investing is not concerned with how much the price of a stock has risen or fallen necessarily, but rather what is the “intrinsic” or inherent value of the stock, and is it currently trading below that price, i.e. at a discount to it’s intrinsic value. The important point here is that when looking at stocks that are trading at or above their intrinsic value, the only hope for gaining value is based on future events, since the stock price already represents what the company is worth. However, when dealing with stocks that are undervalued, or available at a discount, unforeseen events are unimportant in that without any new earnings or additional profits, the shares are already “poised” to return to that inherent value which they have.

The question now, of course, is “why would stock prices not always reflect the true value of the company and the intrinsic value of its shares?” In short, value investors believe that share prices are frequently wrong as indicators of the underlying value of the company and its shares. The efficient market theory suggests that share prices always reflect all available information about a company, and value investors refute this with the idea that investment opportunities are created by disagreements between the actual stock prices, and the calculated intrinsic value of those stocks.

Finding Value Stocks

Value investing is based on the answers to two simple questions:

1. What is the actual value of this company?

2. Can its shares be purchased for less than the actual (intrinsic) value?

Clearly, the important point here is, “how is the intrinsic value accurately determined?” An important point is that companies may be undervalued and overvalued regardless of what the overall markets are doing. Every investor should be aware of and prepared for the inherent market volatility, and the simple fact that stock prices will fluctuate, sometimes quite significantly. Benjamin Graham has often said that if investors cannot be prepared to accept a 50% decline in value without becoming riddled with panic, then investing may not be for them…or rather, successful investing, as it often takes significant losses in a particular security before gains are made, due to the idea that value investors do not try to time the market, and are focused on the underlying fundamentals of the companies. Furthermore, the quality of the companies targeted by the value investors’ screening methods should be, over the long term, less volatile and susceptible to market “panic” than the average stock.

This is also a two way road of sorts. On one hand, there is no sense in worrying about depressions, upturns, and recoveries due to the underlying quality of the value investments. On the other hand, investments should only be made in companies which can flourish and do well in any market environment. Doing solid investment research and making equally solid investment decisions will take investors much further than trying to forecast the markets.

How Many Different Stocks?

In terms of diversification, there are many discrepancies over exactly how many different stocks a solid portfolio should be made up of. My personal view is that there should not be as many stock as normally make up a mutual fund. Many will disagree with this, but what it’s worth, I think that owning a portfolio of 100, 200, or even more companies not only serves to limit risk, but it really limits the possibility for reward as well. Also, as Warren Buffett has said many times, the more companies you own, the less you know about each one.

As I write this, there are 42 stocks in our recommended portfolio. This number may very well grow in the coming months, as it may decrease in number, but one thing to keep in mind is, out of the thousands of companies available for purchase, only a very small percentage meet the stringent requirements of the diligent value investor. This is both a blessing and a curse. Very often, there is simply nothing to buy, and this is fine. The trap to avoid falling into is to lower your requirements for a stock when there simply isn’t anything meeting the normal requirements. This is how many an investor has fallen into making poor investment decisions, putting money into companies not really adequate for their respective portfolio, and it will certainly have a long term effect on gains.

Do you ever feel like you haven’t been told the whole truth? Kind of like something is missing? Well, you are not alone.

With many investors awestruck over the last several years by the declining stock markets, many feel like they’re out in the cold. Why didn’t my broker get me out? Why didn’t I get out? What did I miss? Was there a better place for my money? They want to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

And when you think of investments, annuities are always one of the options. But what have you heard about annuities? Have you heard about your friend who put all of his money in annuities and actually made money during the 3 year decline? Or was your friend the one who bought the annuity he couldn’t get out of without paying 25% surrender charges? Are annuities good or bad? Should you invest in annuities?

Well, I am here to tell you, you don’t know the whole story. There are many things you haven’t been told and I’m here to tell those things to you. I recently published a highly controversial document titled “Annuities: The Shocking Truths Revealed.” It has literally caught the attention of the industry in no time.

You might ask why. Well the answer is because it sheds light on some things you wouldn’t believe. It is so revealing that it has agents in the industry infuriated. They can’t believe I would reveal these things and let you in on the dirty little secrets that they never told you.

So what does this mean to you? It means being able to play on a level playing field. It means knowing whether you’ve been told the truth and sold the truth or just another lie to get you to buy. It helps you avoid the mistakes that are being made every day due to investor ignorance.

So if you own an annuity or are thinking about an annuity, http://www.AnnuityMD.com is a must. Take a stroll and see what I have done. By the way, I am so confident of my product, it offers a money-back guarantee. But I am sure if you just avoid one of the mistakes explained in the document, or take advantage of one piece of advice, it will pay you back hundreds of fold.

So if you’re curious, just click on the link below and see what I have done. You will be shocked at how revealing this document really is. With that in mind good luck and do your homework.

The Google Tool for Resource Company Investors By William Cate

If you are an investor in a resource company, ask the company for the longitude and latitude of the mine, mineral prospect, oil well, timberlands, farm, ranch or whatever resource the company claims to be developing. Then, download “Google Earth.” The basic software is free. The upgrades cost money. The upgrades are justified, if you have a major investment in any resource company or prefer investing in resource stocks. Using the company supplied longitude and latitude; you can get a satellite view of the company’s resource property. It takes a few seconds, but there is the company property. Study the satellite image carefully. When the company announces drilling programs or any time of surface activity, use Google Earth to revisit the company’s property. The satellite image should show the reported activity. If it doesn’t, you have a serious problem!

If your resource company’s project is within a military installation, the system doesn’t work. However, on most of the planet, the system works well. If you buy the $400 version of their software, you can see cars and people on the surface, details that should be more than adequate to determine if the work is being done as the news release or other report claims. Even the free software allows you to compare post satellite images with the current photo.

The rule of thumb in resource investing is that five cents of every dollar raised goes into the ground. The remaining ninety-five cents goes to promoting the company’s stock or into the pockets of the company’s officers, directors and insiders. If investors would start monitoring their investments with Google Earth, there is a very good chance that this equation would be reversed or at least modified in favor of the investors.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) should require all public resource companies to publish, within any news release, the longitude and latitude of the project within that news release. The company should be required to state the longitude and latitude of all their projects in all their filings. And hypsters should be required to give the longitude and latitude of the project in 12-point type. In fact, the SEC should require that these folks publish their disclaimer in 12-point or larger type.

If you are a resource investor, get the company’s longitude and latitude for their projects before you buy their shares. If you are an accredited investor being asked for a bundle of money for a resource company, a Google Earth search should be part of your Due Diligence effort.

There are weaknesses in the Google Earth software. Photo image resolution outside the US is poor. The software only works with a PC. However, Google says they are working on a Mac version. Google can supply angle photos of city buildings and should soon have front views of these buildings. You can expect the technology to spread to rural areas and to non-U.S. satellite photos over the next 18 months or so.

The SEC, State Securities Regulators and their Canadian counterparts should be doing everything possible to encourage the growth of Google Earth. It’s a new tool that will inhibit the sale of mining scams, oil well ripoffs and stock swindles. It’s a grassroots tool that the public can easily use to protect themselves from the horde of swindlers always seeking the unwary who want to invest in a nonexistent gold mine.

We have had just about 1.5m snow during the last week. The snow has been so heavy that chairlifts were closed, the funicular has been stopped at the Chamonix train station and not traveling up to Les Grands Montets. Some roads have been shut past our chalet holiday accommodation and snow announcements published.

Compare this to two seasons ago, with the unusually mild Jan weather conditions, earth appearing on pistes, and reports that global warming would mean the finish of the ski industry in France. Highlighting this the OECDs study from winter 2006 warned that climate change could make skiing too dear for a lot of snowboarders, with one 3rd of ski fields shutting and the disappearance of glaciers. Glaciologists insist that it is impossible to assign the seasonal variations in the snow to the off shoots of global warming.

We could have the longest recession in almost 25 years, and the Pound has headed to new levels versus the Euro, but the conditions are superior, and the last bookings prove that boarders are enthusiastic to enjoy the exceptional snow conditions. This season is probably the best in eight seasons, and many people are announcing that it’s the nicest ski snowboarding conditions in at least ten seasons.

All the same recall that this amount of snow means large avalanches risks.

Speculators get a bad rap. Speculation in stocks, currecies and commodities futures is a necessary part of our economy. Many people have the idea that there is no added value in people “gambling” on commodities prices, for example. The truth is, most people just don’t understand of the role of speculators and speculation.

The Truth About ‘Speculation’

Speculative trading is crucial to a modern economy. Let’s use corn for an example. A farmer can plant his corn, and then see the price drop so low by harvest time that he loses his investment, and possibly goes bankrupt. How can he prevent this?

By selling some of his future production now, at a set price, he can plan ahead safely. The contracts he creates and sells will go up and down with the price of corn, but the risk is all in the hands of the speculators who buy them. They profit by re-selling them if the price goes up, and they lose money if it goes down. Our farmer, though, has his price, and can plan his business now.

Now, on the other side, a cereal company needs predictability in the prices of their basic commodities, in order to plan future production. They can’t hire new employees and buy new equipment, only to see the price of corn triple, making consumers unwilling to buy their expensive corn flakes. Buy a contract for future delivery at a set price, and they can plan, and again, the speculators take on the risk. They sell a contract, planning to buy the corn necessary for delivery. They make money if the price drops, and lose if it goes up, because they have to deliver at a set price.

Not just farmers, but all industries based on basic commodities would go through terrible swings in fortune if it weren’t for these “gamblers,” who take on the risk. Without them, there would be more bankruptcies, and more dramatic swings in consumer prices. In all markets with speculation, speculators provide the liquidity and ability to plan ahead that is needed.

New Ideas In Speculation

Maybe we need more speculation, not less. Wouldn’t it be nice if businesses and even individuals could guarantee that gas for their cars would be near the same price next year? Speculators could provide that guarantee, and some businesses would love that kind of predictability.

You buy a contract, for example, to get your next 1000 gallons of gas at $2.20 per gallon. You put down a small deposit, and pay as you go, but you know that the next 1000 gallons will be $2,200, guaranteed.

A speculators role is to back the other side of the contract (to sell it). He is the one guaranteeing your price, so if the average price for the next 1000 gallons is $1.80, you still pay $2,200 in the end, but his cost is $1,800, so he makes $400 on the contract. Now if the price averages $3.30, he pays $3,300. You still pay $2,200, so he gambled and lost $1,100.

Speculators, like most gamblers, will probably bet on almost anything. We need to find more ways for them to take on our risks. Just imagine the many contracts could be invented, based on speculation.

Pearls add an aura of sophistication and beauty to any outfit, whether it is a bride’s wedding dress, a woman’s formal evening dress, a formal blouse, or even a girl’s communion dress. Their round shape and white or cream colour compliment virtually any wardrobe.

But how does one compare the pearl jewellery being offered by different retailers, and ensure you are getting the best value for your money?

When shopping for pearl jewellery such as pearl necklaces or pearl bracelets, it is important that you realize what you are buying, and how retailers grade their pearls. This will allow you to fairly compare pieces, without being distracted by deceptive advertising lingo.

You should first realize that virtually all pearls available on the market today are cultured freshwater pearls. Many stores will simply advertize “pearl” or “freshwater pearl” or “cultured pearl”, but suffice to say, they are all cultured freshwater pearls. Natural pearls are extermely rare (mostly due to pollution) and are priced accordingly. Those looking for information on natural pearls can look for an upcoming article at http://www.crater.com/articles. Unless you know how to tell the difference, you are advised to assume all pearls are cultured freshwater pearls and buy accordingly. The remainder of this article relates to cultured freshwater pearls.

Luster
This is the gloss, sheen, or brightness that you see. Low quality pearls will appear dull, with a matte finish. High lustre pearls will appear nearly brilliant, with exceptional pearls having an almost glassy, mirror-like surface.

Surface / Nacre
Pearls are made of layers of a substance called Nacre. Pearls are caused by irritants inside the shells of various mollusks. High quality pearls have a very small irritant (such as a grain of sand) and are virtually all nacre. Low quality pearls have a large irritant (such as a chunk of mother-of-pearl) and relatively little nacre. Low quality pearls may also have inclusions or imperfections in the pearl’s surface. High quality pearls have no visible inclusions.

Shape
The most highly prized pearls are those which are perfectly spherical to the naked eye. Pearls that have a slightly oblong shape (like a football, or an oval) are of average value, and still beautiful on the appropriate piece of jewellery. Pearls that are randomly shaped or having a wavy surface are lower grade, but they can still look beautiful when properly strung or arranged.

• Round
  Round pearls are the most expensive variety. They are truly spherical and will roll in a straight line. Very few pearls fall into this category, but they often include pearls that are nearly round.
• Semi-Baroque
  These pearls have symmetrical shapes, but are not truly round. These include tear-drop, oval, or rondelle.
• Baroque
  These pearls have an irregular shape. Though generally less expensive, some unique-shaped specimens can fetch a higher price than round pearls. Baroque pearls have been made into famous or important jewellery pieces throughout history.

Matching
When shopping for pearl jewellery, two retailers may state they have the same grade pearls. How do you further differentiate them? The jewellery piece that has the best matching should be selected. This means that the pearls used are all of the same grade and visually match each other. Some jewellers do not take the time to properly match the shape, luster and colour of pearls used within the same piece of jewellery, and this decreases the relative value.

Colour
The colour of the pearl has some bearing on the value of the pearl jewellery, but this factor is mostly in the eye of the beholder. Cultured freshwater pearls come in a range of colours including whites, creams, pinks, lilacs, silver and gold shades. Black pearls are even available from Tahitian black-lipped oyster. Pearls are sometimes dyed to achieve a particular colour. Colour is mostly a personal choice and is also dependant on the desired use of the jewellery, but when comparing two identical pieces, the one that is naturally coloured (not dyed) has more value than the one which is dyed.

Size
In general, the larger the pearl size the more valuable it is. This is generally because the larger the pearl size, the pearl would have had to remain in the mollusc longer, increasing the pearl farmer’s investment.

Grading Table
The following table uses one common method of grading pearls. Many different grading lists exist, making it difficult to compare pieces from different manufacturers. But if you keep in mind the actual meaning of the points above (luster, matching, shape, nacre, colour) you can make an informed decision. The gradings here are a guideline, and should not be used as a concrete rule that all retailers follow. It can be used to help you mentally compare multiple pieces, to compare their value.

• AAA
  These pearls are perfectly round to the eye. They have an excellent lustre, very clean nacre (95% nacre) with no surface inclusions. Jewellery claiming to be this grade will have excellent matching between pearls. Pearls from this grade represent the top 1% of a pearl harvest.
• AA+
  These pearls are visibly round with excellent lustre. They have clean nacre (95% nacre) with no surface inclusions. There is excellent matching between pearls. Pearls from this grade represent the top 5% of a pearl harvest.
• AA
  These pearls are near-round to off-round. They have a good lustre with a good nacre (80-90% nacre) with no surface inclusions. There is good matching between the pearls. This grade represents the top 15% of a pearl harvest.
• A/A+
  Off round to baroque in shape, this grade of pearl has a moderate lustre and is composed of about 70% nacre. It has no surface inclusions. Jewellery claiming to be this grade had good to moderate matching.
• A
  This grade represents pearls that are very off-round to baroque. They have moderate to low lustre, with moderate to heavily blemished nacre. There is moderate matching between pieces.
• Commercial/Beading quality
  Pearls of this grade are asymmetrical baroque, with moderate to low lustre. They display heavily blemished nacre with heavy inclusions. There is poor to moderate matching between pieces. Most pearls of this grade are ground up for use in commercial use such as makeup.

Conclusions
Purchasing pearl jewellery need not be overly complex or frightening. Just make sure that you compare two pieces on more than just cost. Make sure that the various grading criteria are taken into consideration, and you can then be sure to make a wise, informed pearl jewellery purchasing decision.

There is one indicator more than any other which determines the health of an economy and it is the Real Rate of Return.
Furthermore this is the simplest of all indicators to understand because it determines the safety of assets. Next time you hear the TALKING HEADS discussing the nuances of the markets, filter what they say through your own understanding of the Real Rate of Return.

The Real Rate of Return is the one number that determines the safety of principal. It is calculated by taking the current BOND YIELD and subtracting the expected INFLATION rate from it.
The result is the REAL return on giaranteed money from the government.

Interest Rates are on the rise as we have been expecting and
this pressure has put a tremendous amount of pressure on the
stock market. The essential simplicity at work here is very,
very basic. If Interest rates on Bonds are yielding 5.14% and
inflation is forecasted at 5%. The difference is the REAL RATE
of RETURN, (in this instance we are speaking about .14%). The
REAL RATE of RETURN is what sparks major rallies and declines on
Wall Street.

The reason for this is that the Bond market is the largest
financial market in the world. There are literally trillions of
dollars invested in debt denominated assets. These investors
are primarily interested in the security of their principal and
taking as minimal risk as possible. They historically have been
thrilled with REAL RATES of RETURNS that would be in the 2% - 5%
annually. During the 1970’s this indicator went NEGATIVE for a
while indicating INFLATION was rising faster than interest rates
and BOND INVESTORS actually had substantial negative returns.
During this time there was much “screaming and gnashing of
teeth.”

It has always been my estimation that Federal Reserve Chairman,
Alan Greenspan’s key task is to keep the REAL RATE of RETURN as
high as possible. HE has been extremely successful at doing
this. If you read back over any history of the financial markets you would be WISE to view events through this indicator. The economic climate becomes remarkably different and people’s opinions change dramatically when the REAL RATE of RETURN on the most SECURE investments is threatened.

A thorough understanding of this simplicity is necessary for
success in any kind of investing as IT is the basic building
block from which all other analysis is based. Although it is
always difficult to forecast what will happen in the future, the
one factor you can count on is that when THE REAL RATE OF RETURN
is falling there is much SWEAT on the brows of Money Managers
who monitor the trillions of dollars entrusted to them.

At this point KEEP YOUR EYES on this indicator and make your own
forecast of INFLATION. You’ll realize that your ANALYSIS can be
better than the Big Boys.

Let’s be careful other there!

A lot of gamblers will have spotted the term “offshore sports betting”, but maybe aren’t wholly assured what it conveys. A foreign betting web site basically runs external to the authority of any given country instead it could mean an internet gambling internet site deploying its servers inside the boundaries of a state where machine-accessible gambling is not presently disallowed. In a nutshell then, it’s a gambling web site that functions independently of the supervison of the state of the participant. Web based gaming world wide websites are all modulated through three administrations. These are dubbed OSGA (the Offshore Gaming Association), the IGC (Interactive Gaming Council) and finally the Fidelity Trust Gaming Association FTGA.

bet pick sports

The Offshore Gaming Association are a self controlling institution that audits the current overseas sports gambling industry with a commission to also provide betting fans the ability to determine acclaimed enterprises to play games of chance with. The OSGA attempts to support client’s rights, and in addition they don’t charge any joining expenses. The association are a professional and unprejudiced third party company that reveals impartial judgments, founded on customer feedback, impartial analysis, calls, prompts furthermore supplies industry information.

The IGC are a non commercially driven council. The agency was created to provide a platform for worried parties to address concerns and also to improve mutual interests in the global online gambling trade, in an effort to establish even handed and also sound trade guidelines and routines that strive to raise consumer faith in interactive betting commodities and services, also to function as the overseas betting industry’s public procedure advocate and it also functions as an information clearinghouse.

The Interactive Gaming Council has built up a reputation for encouraging honor, good conduct also solidity by virtue of its exacting code of conduct, and its appeal to ethical web sites. The Interactive Gaming Council regularizes overseas gambling through endorsing an original ten step series of guidelines furthermore bills sports betting business concerns a license fee for publishing their logo. Disappointed customers can furthermore mention their challenges to the IGC.

The Fidelity Trust Gaming Association was established in an attempt to produce a benchmark which will upgrade the actions of internet gaming business concerns. The authority believe that carrying on business only with credible companies, they are able to found a membership of the fairest and most professional internet gambling operations in the world at large. To recapitulate, these are agencies who control the procedures practised by computer accessible sports betting and which should hopefully aid to relieve any misgivings because of insecurity experienced by cynics. Internet sports gambling sites are consistently dependable, now that private data are not needed and also the payouts and the odds are as equal and sportsmanlike as in a traditional Vegas-type bet. These web sites cut down travel time, but still keep of a traditional gambling casino, but today you can gamble in the comfort of your own home.
