Day Trading - Will Wipe Your Trading Account Out Quickly! 2008-02-28 21:18:00 One of the biggest puzzles of currency trading for me is that anyone takes day trading seriously as a way to enjoy success. You can't win at it and will lose all your money, the reason is obvious and is the subject of this article. You may be thinking that if no one wins, why are there so many profitable day trading systems for sale? The answer is: There all made up in hindsight and simply simulated on paper but have never been traded for real. If you ever see a track record for a forex day trading or scalping system which claims extra ordinary profits, then check for the disclaimer: "CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations.

Investing in Business 2008-02-18 21:59:00 The traditional concept of investing for most people involves buying stocks and shares, or investing in a company on some equity basis. Investing

A Killer Investment Strategy: The Three Sources of Cashflow From a Lease Option Strategy 2008-02-07 21:30:00 Once you own an investment property, or a piece of investment real estate, then you need to make money from it. If you're not going to sell it on, then you would typically rent it out to a tenant. The rent covers the mortgage payments, with perhaps a bit left over for repairs and so on, but it's rare for a landlord or property investor to make any significant monthly cashflow. A solution to this lack of cashflow is to utilise lease options, also known as the rent-to-buy, or rent-to-own strategy. There are many people who, for one reason or another, simply cannot get a mortgage. Perhaps they have no credit score as they've just come in from abroad. Perhaps they've had financial problems in the past. And they're stuck - they're saving towards a deposit, but all the time they're waiting for a Read more:Killer
