Stock Market Timing Secrets

By Mike Swanson

Playing the stock market is risky. You only have two options: lose money or make money. It is essentially a game and to play well one must have perfect timing. You have to know when to buy long, cash out and hold, or sell short. No one knows how to do this for sure. So, playing the stock market is just a guessing game. Stock market timing with technical analysis is essential to the playing the game right.

Stock market timing is very important. If you hold a stock for too long, you can lose money. If you don't hold a stock for long enough, you can lose money, too. Timing is very important.

So, how do you know when to do this? Well, no one knows for sure. Almost all companies that are related to this industry have developed their own systems for stock market timing. They can only advise you on what to do. You must remember that they, too, are only guessing; however, they are researched and educated guesses based upon former trends. Basically, there guess is still better than yours.

One plays the stock market in order to make money. No one plays it to lose money. If you do not have the money to be gambling with, then it is not advisable to gamble in this manner. The risk for losing your hard earned money is there. In order to be successful, you must have adequate timing. As mentioned previously, perfect timing all the time, is not possible.

The truth is that no one can accurately predict what is going to happen within the stock market. Stock market timing guides are just an educated, researched guess based upon trends.

Stock market timing will have an enormous impact on one's investment portfolio, whether it is good or bad. One has to remember that any stock market timing system that is developed is only there to serve as a guide, and it should not be relied too heavily upon. - 23208

3. Most systems claim to be able to forecast rates in advance by using calculations but markets don't move to mathematics! You are dealing in possibilities, NOT assurances and no one can forecast what will happen with mathematical assurance in a market made by humans.

Buying and Selling Property

By Martin Davis

In recent months the housing market in the UK has seen a substantial decline in price. In fact, in January 2009 the value of properties fell by a further 1.3% this taking the total decline to 16.6%.

Whilst searching online it is not hard to find information regarding the current economic climate. It has been reported that the housing market in the UK could fall further still and any improvements are still some time away.

In fact, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in the UK are predicting that in 2009 we will see a further 10% decrease in the number of homes being sold. They are currently reporting that less than one home is being sold each week, which is the worst condition the housing market has faced in the last 30 years.

Although house prices will begin to rise again in the year 2011 a further 10% decrease is expected this year, therefore people will have to recognize that the price of their house is currently much less than it was not so many years ago.

Although the market is in this weakened state, there are many people who are still willing to buy. For those who are looking to invest in property this may be the ideal time to do so. With house prices still falling and so many people being faced with homes being repossessed, deals are certainly available.

Due to the current economic climate, house repossession is presently at an all time high. People are struggling to meet their repayments and finding themselves in very difficult situations. It has been predicted that a further 34,000 homes will be repossessed, within the UK, this year.

So what are the main reasons why we have seen such a big decrease in the value of properties in the current UK property market?

(1) Mortgage companies are far less willing to provide finance to those people who want to purchase a home. This is because many people are unsure whether they will have a job or not and whether repayments for these mortgages can be met.

(2) First time buyers are finding it virtually impossible to get on the property ladder because lenders need a higher down payment.

(3) Many people expect house prices to fall further making them hold off buying now.

(4) Even with cuts in the banks base rates, people still find it difficult to get the mortgage they want. Over the last 2-3 years the mortgage prices have not really moved, people have just been holding off remortgaging.

The property industry is not at its healthiest at the moment, many construction workers are becoming out of work and many estate agents are closing by the day. As stated above, it is a very difficult time for this industry. - 23208

Why Failure to Manage Money is the Biggest Reason People Don't Make Money in Stocks

By Maclin Vestor

Many people have been through it all, they've lost money and made money in stocks, they've lost and made money in poker, and they've lost and made money in options, and they've even lost money and made money in gold. Ultimately the one thing that can make or break you is Money Management. It is what separates the winners from the losers and the haves from the have-nots. What do people that go through those experiences ultimately learn from?

The fact is that it almost doesn't matter at all how good the method is, if you cannot manage your money well. In stocks although people who can read financial statements and charts, and understand if a stock is likely to go up, or do back testing on certain method and estimate a probability that stocks using that method went up in the past, it is difficult to pin point the exact odds. That makes managing your money more difficult. However, just because you can't know the exact probability, doesn't mean you can't use past results to estimate a probability range, and manage your money well. Lets just assume for a while that you could know the exact probabilities. If you know that you will win 3 times as much as you lose when you win, and you know that the win will take place half the time, do you know for sure that you will make money in the long run?

This is a trick question, you can never know with certainty that you will make money, but is it probable? Again, that still depends. How can this be? It's easy to say that if you invest $100, you will turn it into $200 (gaining $100) half the time, and you will lose $33 the other half, that in 100 one hundred dollar investments you can expect to make $5000, lose $1667 and net $3333. However, this fails to take into account how likely you are to be able to afford the $1667 in losses and maintain that $100 investment every time out of 100 times.

In other words, the $3333 net gain is theoretical, and takes absolute no consideration on how likely you are to be able to afford those 100 investments. What if you only had $100 and you bet it all, you have a 50% chance that you lose $33 of that 1000... what then? You can't simply make another $100 investment, So instead you have to make a $66 investment, now your win will be significantly less. If you lose yet again it will become even more difficult to get back to even. Although on paper this is a good investment, it is not a good investment without proper money management. You may have built a very safe car that drives straight, but if you are a bad driver you still could crash.

Unfortunately many people don't learn how to drive their financial investment vehicles, and instead rely on money managers, financial advisors, mutual fund owners, and company CEOs to do everything for them. This isn't a bad thing for those unable or unwilling to learn. However, the risk is not only that these people won't manage your money well, and not only that if they do, you still may pay them so much in fees and expenses that it's not profitable, but also that by handing the keys to your investment vehicle over to someone else, you lose control and you fail to learn anything. Although you may accomplish your goals with the help of these people, you also could do this yourself with a good trading system that uses good money management. - 23208
