		<description><![CDATA[Salutations my brother stock trading fighters. We may well be at the start of another strong bull uptrend.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Compliments my comrade stock trading warriors. We may well be at the start of a new big bull run.</p>
<p>What?</p>
<p>What am I talking about with so many people being without a job, banks being shut down, and house building taking a double plunge to the downside?</p>
<p>Great question. It does appear ridiculous if you are a one-dimensional organism living in the here and now.</p>
<p>On the contrary you are greater than that. You were created the capacity to imagine yourself trading in the future. That higher level of thinking is what separates you from other beasts and living organisms that can merely exist in the here and now. Although I admit it&#8217;s not as cool as Torchwood time travel, it is capable of making you a great deal of money.</p>
<p>One of the most tricky ideas for amateur traders to snatch is that the stock market is the future of the economic cycle somewhere from 3 to 9 months. In other terminology, all the movement happening on the stock market right now is a wager on where we think the economy will be 9 months from now. The stock market is telling us that in 9 months from the present, the unemployment rate will be lower, banks will no longer be failing, and home construction will strengthen. The earnings season we just finished confirmed that with 70% of all corporations posting earnings increases from the second quarter of 2009.</p>
<p>Last week I talked concerning how, with the downtrend channel breakout, we don&#8217;t know what new channel or formation will develop since we don&#8217;t have adequate chart data thus far. Currently with 1 week more of chart data, and zooming out on the stock chart to look at the larger trend, a configuration springs forth.</p>
<p>The S&amp;P 500 has completed a Bullish Flag breakout.</p>
<p>Now short sellers and gold insects will argue the pattern and proclaim that not enough volume exists for this to be a applicable breakout but that is just not accurate. If you go back and look at the preceding Bullish Flag breakout we had on the S&amp;P 500, you can appreciate that the volume that has accompanied this breakout is over 24% more!</p>
<p>The Bullish Flag did a perfect 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the bull move that began in March of 2009. A 38.2% retracement is a common retracement for a uptrend.</p>
<p>I am upgrading the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&amp;P 500 to that of uptrend. </p><div style= 'padding-top:10px;width:320px;float:left;padding-right:10px;'>

For those who don't know what the terms mean: A bear market is nothing else but a continuous and sustained drop in the price of a wide selection of stocks over a period of time.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No doubt you have heard people talk about bull markets and bear markets before. For those who don&#8217;t know what the terms mean: A bear market is nothing else but a continuous and sustained drop in the price of a wide selection of stocks over a period of time. Usually a market has to remain in a declining phase for at least two months and drop by at least 20% before described as a &#8220;bear&#8221;.</p>
<p>A bull market is exactly the opposite of a bear. Prices start rising and continue to rise with more than twenty percent for more than two months. Just as pessimism drives a market with dropping prices even further down, optimism drives a bull market upwards.</p>
<p>A bear market should not be confused with a simple market correction. Market corrections happen regularly and usually do not last more than a day or two.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s fairly easy to comprehend how traders can make money during a bull market; it&#8217;s in fact hard not to make a profit in such a market. How is it possible to make a profit in a free-falling market though?</p>
<p>One way to make money in a declining market is to accurately predict when it reaches its bottom and then invest in a selection of prime <a target='_blank' href="http://www.wallstreetwindow.com/content/stock-tips">stock tips</a>. You can use fundamental or technical indicators to try and predict the end of the drop in prices. This is very difficult to do, however. Even the experts often falter when it comes to correctly predicting the end of a slump in prices.</p>
<p>A further option you have is to sell stocks short. What happens in effect is that you borrow stocks from your brokerage and then sell them to another trader at the current (high) price. Once the negative market has taken its toll and the price of the stock is much lower, you buy it again and give back what you borrowed from the brokerage. It will of course only work if the market actually goes down.</p>
<p>Another route open to you is to buy what is referred to as &#8220;put options&#8221; in the industry. These increase in value during a bear market when the price of the underlying share drops. Once again you have to be right about the fact that the price is going to drop, otherwise you will lose the funds you paid for the put option.</p>

<p>Stock trading software doesn&#8217;t require individuals to have an expertise on stock market to use it. Familiarity on how stock market works is enough. All it does is tell its users on which stocks will return the most money then it is the owner&#8217;s decision to do the trade. This kind of trading software is designed based on the tested principles of some stock market traders. It also uses some complex algorithm to convert those principles to formulas.</p>
<p>What can a stock trader expect in using this software?</p>
<p>Stock traders can expect lots of things from this software. Example is that they can expect larger profit when trading stocks. Some benefits that they can get are the efficient and effective use of the software, the decision without the emotional factor that the software can provide and the cost in using it.</p>
<p>Aside from those, there are also other benefits that a stock trader can get such as:</p>
<p>1.) This software can operate continuously.</p>
<p>This software can be online running on a server or can be on the stock trader&#8217;s computer. Either of the two will lead to better performance in stock market trading since this software can operate 24/7 without taking a break. The continuous monitoring of the stock market is an advantage for the stock traders since all the changes are captured and will be used in coming up with future decisions.</p>
<p>2.) It can contain different principles or strategies.</p>
<p>Though not all software has multiple principles, many trading software adapts having multiple strategies in order to discover any possibilities that may arise. This can also lead them to thousands of solutions to provide the best possible stocks to their owners. The consistency will not be removed since it will still use a set of strategies and not just any random techniques.</p>
<p>3.) It is so transparent in making decisions.</p>
<p>Still many stock traders doubt the effectiveness in using this trading software. So what did the software company did is that they provide support or proof that their decisions are based on the calculations and complex queries to their database. This is done through the use of visuals which will be presented to its users. It may come into different form such as graphs, calculations and others.</p>
<p>4.) It can act as if an expert system.</p>
<p>Expert system is an application of artificial intelligence that involves storing data, analyzing them and using them to provide decisions. This is done in many fields such as medicine but programmers saw its potential in the world of stock market. It is perfect for stock traders since they don&#8217;t have the ability to remember and rethink all of the data that they encounter in stock market and this software can do that for them.</p>

		<title>Code Of Conduct To Follow When Renting Commercial Property</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Starting your business off should be done right: and that starts with obtaining a lease on a property. There is a certain code of conduct to observe in your time at a commercial location that will help avoid problems. If done correctly, being a good tenant can also open up valuable doors with the land owner.</p>
<p>The first step, no matter how much it makes you cringe, is to read the full lease agreement. Some business real estate owners will quickly walk you through the contract, but that&#8217;s not always enough. Ask the land owner if there is enough time to go through the contract together to review each point so no one will be confused upon signing. It&#8217;s a hassle, but a necessary one.</p>
<p>Upon vacating the commercial area, you should take pictures of how everything is stationed. This will act as a guide for you to clean up should you need to terminate the agreement with the land owner. It will also prove innocence in a argument of property damage, and provide reference if there is an act of vandalism on the property.</p>
<p>A hard lesson learned is to always be on time with payments. If you don&#8217;t know the land owner personally, even being one day late can mean a nasty red mark on your credit report. If you think you will be short, do give a prompt phone call to the land owner to give notification of the fact.</p>
<p>Land owners usually own a large plot of land in a certain area- you shouldn&#8217;t be surprised if the majority of the neighboring buildings are also owned by the same investor. When property is owned on conjunction like so, it&#8217;s common for certainly cleanliness rules to be put into place. Keeping parking lots and buildings clean are duties that will fall onto the business owner&#8217;s hand if there is a certain prestige to be kept. This differs based on the preferences of the investor.</p>
<p>It is kind to give a long notice before you intend on vacating the property. Most business operations are considered to be semi-permanent, considering contracts can span several years. There should be some methods of breaking the contract in emergency. If that&#8217;s the case, you should let the land owner know as soon as possible so that he or she may find a replacement for the commercial property. This may be subject to harsh fees.</p>
<p>Final Thoughts</p>
<p>Just observing a fair policy of responsibility will get you through the relationship with your business&#8217; land owner. You will find that many of them have a kind heart and will give you the same respect that you give them- so treat them like a good friend at all times!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone is constantly looking for the best place they could look at as &#8220;perfect.&#8221; They move in one area and from one community to another. They take huge expectations of locating the residence that will significantly attract their attention. Once they have ultimately set their attention onto it, one other issue shows up in the picture. Just what can happen to their current homes? The issue is irksome since the monetary prices of the homes are at risk.</p>
<p>Nearly everybody wasted and even used up their precious sweat, time and expense by establishing their properties and getting them not occupied could be tantamount to abandoning it. This is such a disturbing idea.</p>
<p>Because home owners believe that they should be making money out of their old houses, they are convinced to sell them to interested buyers in full payment basis. Nevertheless, the prices are not that attractive and the scheme is stressful, so, consequently, buyers will have to decline the offer in the end. Delays of selling the houses will pave the way to a great probability that the house will not be sold at all.</p>
<p>It is not so much on having less generous clients thereof that causes the selling of the properties strenuous. It is the enormous occurrence of practical-minded consumers having an alternate option in which they can spare a good deal of income.</p>
<p>If home owners still stick to their guns, the challenge for them, therefore, is how they are going to make the full payment basis appealing to the potential buyers. They need to keep in mind that looking for buyers who will agree with the terms and conditions of full payment basis is a tough quest. This is primarily the reason why one of the most popular schemes used by individuals and real estate businesses today is the rent to own houses scheme. The scheme is not complicated and makes the home owners secured knowing whatever happens he is earning through the rental.</p>
<p>The system is not totally difficult and makes all the owners sure in the knowledge that whatever happens, he is still earning income from the rental.</p>
<p>Rent to own houses scheme can also expand the assets of the home owners, more importantly. Because technically the rental will be sufficient enough to buy another house to make it rent to own, the home owners are given the opportunity to earn more and invite more tenants. Rather than aiming to be fully paid, most home owners today have switched to what is wise. They choose where easy and fast money is. Rent to own houses scheme has now become their new strategy of selling their houses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No matter how small and old your house is, dwelling in a cozy and modern home is possible by applying certain renovation techniques. Below are some techniques that you can try on:</p>
<p>1. Choose light colored paints over dark ones.</p>
<p>Dark paints and deep hues cause your house to appear smaller than it really is. Colors such as off-whites and earth tones are advisable. For the ceiling white is always a good choice, avoid white that is often a little bluish though.</p>
<p>2. Allow the sun light in.</p>
<p>Light is an essential factor for the improvement of your space. If you are using heavy curtains or dark shades, please take them off and replace them with light ones that will allow adequate sun light to enter your room. Light is good for your health, it lessen laziness and depression. Natural light also makes your space look cleaner.</p>
<p>Another way to improve the light in your space is to add light fixtures. For small houses, it is a smart step to add lights accordingly for various uses since rooms perform multiple functions.</p>
<p>3. Use Mirrors</p>
<p>Mirror are a good addition to small spaces. They add virtual space and make a simple space alive.</p>
<p>4. Choose basic furniture.</p>
<p>For a small house, huge furniture are not welcome, just use the primary ones. Select those that are light colored. As much as possible avoid those that are ornate, heavy and dark stained furniture.</p>
<p>5. Ornament your walls.</p>
<p>Add one good piece of art in your wall. You do not have to spend too much on this, especially if you are on a budget renovation. You can find good paintings in local shops at a very affordable price, you just have to explore.</p>
<p>Having good art in your home brings good ambiance to your space. It gives you good feeling and reflects vibrance, joy, and color.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You do not need to be a specialist to grasp the obvious truth that we are going through a long dark crisis and there is no light to be seen at the moment, indicating it is going to end soon. All of us see and listen to daily layoffs on the TV screen, in the journals left on our doorsteps or from family members, the jogging pal or the talkative newsstand vendor. It seems bad news are unavoidable, even if you do not share. Your pocket would warn you that you have to do something about it. If you want to have a future with these grim prospects, it seems you have to cling to something with a potential future, to something that may hedge your wealth or capitalize on it, some type of fortunate investment.</p>
<p>A first piece of advice: don&#8217;t go for currency, domestic or foreign, even if you feel it is a value worth investing in. It is the foundation of the present economic collapse, given the irrational monetary policy of governments all around the world to print money in excess, while renouncing the gold standard. Currency is not founded on any concrete value, and even worse it is controlled by governments. Think of gold instead: no one may change its value; it fluctuates depending on the ratio between supply and demand.</p>
<p>If you look for something solid to hold to against inflation, financial inventions, currency devaluation, plunging stocks, then invest in gold. This is solid value and there are no more troubles for you than selecting the form of investment.</p>
<p>If you lack investment experience, go and buy some gold bullion. You will feel your ownership just by looking at or touching these shining pieces. It is a physical means of holding safe your assets. The cheapest gold purchases you should make if you are a small scale investor are krugerrands or any minted coins or gold bars. If your goal is not just value preservation but capitalization as well, you may sell them later if their price rises.</p>
<p>If you, on the other hand, don&#8217;t mind speculating, there are other recommended forms of gold investment. All is up to your investment size, your level of specialization and your willingness to risk. If you want something stable, go for gold exchange traded funds, or if you want to focus on the tangible value of gold, invest in gold stocks held by mining companies. But if you perceive gold as a speculative means, gold options and futures are there for you, just mind that whereas you may make a huge profit, you may as well lose it all. At this point our advice stops, we have just intended to make gold investment as simple for you as we could.</p>
<p>Gold Made Simple sells <a href="http://www.goldmadesimple.com/default.aspx?appid=6829">Baird gold</a> from bars of 2.5 grams to 12.5 kgs of the highest purity suitable for private investors, trade buyers and retailers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are planning to sell your HDB flat and you want to have as many buyers as you can as well as a high selling price, there is one thing you might want to look at, RENOVATION.</p>
<p>To get you started, there are a couple of things you need to think about. First, understand how the sales price work. Naturally you will not want to invest so much on renovation and end up loosing in the end. Try to research how much a renovated house can sell in the market.</p>
<p>Think like a buyer. And what exactly do buyers do? When they go to your house they step inside and look around. Steve Berges author of the book called &#8220;101 Cost Effective Ways to Increase the Value of Your Home&#8221; formulated guidelines that will leave a very good impression for home buyers once they step in to your place, these includes the following:</p>
<p>1. Spend money on what can be seen vs. what can&#8217;t be seen. Looking at your budget, Berger mentioned that you put a higher priority on improvements that can be easily seen because those will you give the best return of investment.</p>
<p>2. Fix up the exterior first, then the interior. Ugly exterior can cause prospective buyers to drive away without going inside the house, you should work on those first.</p>
<p>3. Clear up any trash and make sure your HDB flat is clean and good smelling. This is a very easy thing to do. You dont have to invest so much money on this one, but if you missed to do it, you can loose potential buyers as well as good deals.</p>
<p>For best results, Berges advises that you seek the help of real estate agents who are well informed how the HDB market in Singapore works and who has a very good idea on the optimal renovations that gives the best impact.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kitchen in the world of Feng Shui epitomizes sustenance and wealth. How you set up things in your kitchen can greatly affect your health and your wealth. In this article we will discuss the different Feng Shui tips that you can apply whether you are just about to design your kitchen or if you are about to do renovation.</p>
<p>1. Kitchen Position. When applying Feng Shui in your kitchen, the first thing you need to think about is the placement of the kitchen. Ideally, the best location for the kitchen is a space that you don&#8217;t see when you enter the house, this would of course be the back of your house.</p>
<p>A sight of the kitchen upon entering the house would make your life revolve around food which most often than not can lead to eating problems.</p>
<p>If you already have your kitchen situated near the entrance of your house, you can implement particular renovation and designing techniques that would shift the attention of any person coming into your house away from your kitchen. A good idea would be to hang curtains that would hide your kitchen.</p>
<p>2. Kitchen layout. You should design the layout in such a way that the cook can distinctly see the doorway. Feng Shui consultants also advises that it is good to have a something reflective in the kitchen. So utensils that are stainless are the way to go. It is also advisable to add mirrors behind the burner, as Chinese think that by adding a reflective burner, you are in away doubling your wealth.</p>
<p>3. Kitchen Lighting. Incandescent bulbs or halogen lights are the most advisable for kitchen. A well lighted kitchen is good for Feng Shui. Lights must be placed such that no shadows are casted while preparing and cooking food.</p>
<p>4. Kitchen appliances and utensils. There must be a grouping among the appliances and utensils in the kitchen. You need to isolate fire elements from water elements.</p>
