Whammo – 3 Points by 9:45 Eastern!

Posted by Jason Foster in Financial Advisor

Man we rocked the house today with our trading system! The VIX has jumped up nice over the past few days and its really reflecting in our trading charts! We had a one and done with either the Pullback Setup, and or the Early Entry Technique both winners! Most actually traded both of them!

When the market volume picks up, my system generally over performs. Today is a great example of that.

Enjoy the video and feel free to get in touch with any and all questions!

Bankers should heed the warning of Fred Goodwin’s knighthood shredding

Posted by Carol Bakes in Easy Finance

Does Sir Fred Goodwin feel hard done by to have lost his knighthood?

In the continuing – and probably sensible – absence of any words from Britains favourite banking villain, we cant know for sure.

What we can work out, thanks to the publics ever louder voice granted by the modern digital age, and the banking and business lobbys also ever louder moaning – thanks to its inability to work out when it would be wise to keep schtum – is that hes been dealt some rough justice.

The banking and business defenders argue that if conviction in a court with more official authority than the high court of public opinion does not mean you lose your title, then crashing a bank should not mean Fred is stripped of his.

It wasnt just Freds fault, they say. Retrospectively re-evaluating deeds is a dangerous game. Its unfair to scapegoat one man like this.

Pros and Cons of Working with A Turn-Key Company

Posted by Aaron Cruz in Finance Online

With such a diverse collection of real estate markets around the country, investors have many choices when it comes to where to invest in real estate. Some investors look for areas that were hit hard by the real estate crash in hopes of acquiring property that will experience a recovery in values over the next several years (ex. Phoenix, Las Vegas, Orlando). Other investors look for markets with very inexpensive properties that cash flow well, but may not have as much upside potential (ex. Memphis, Indianapolis). I personally like markets where there is both an opportunity for a recovery in values and strong cash flow (ex. Atlanta). Whatever the reason and whatever the market, investors that invest out of state are tasked with putting together a support team of professionals to help them through all phases of the investment.

Turn-key real estate investment companies are companies that have already assembled a team in a particular market to handle all of the different aspects of the real estate investment.
