PENNY STOCKS DEFINED – WHAT YOU KNOW IS WRONG
Sep 8th
Do you know what a penny stock really is? Odds are, you’ve been subjected to wrong information. Today, I’ll shed some light on the situation.
Look through the Internet and you’re bound to come across at least 6-10 completely different definitions for penny stocks. For instance, one description I found said that penny stocks were simply “highly speculative” stocks. Oh? So if I were to buy a stock trading at $50 per share that’s “highly speculative” it would be a penny stock? I don’t think so.
Many definitions seemed to be stuck on the idea that penny stocks are any stocks selling for under $1. This is not correct either. First of all, this definition fails to account for inflation. Think about this, if a penny stock were anything under $1 in 1970 then, adjusting for inflation, the definition in 2008 would be anything under $5.60.
Yet other descriptions incorrectly define penny stocks simply as “low-priced” stock. What is low-priced stock? If Warren Buffet considers Yahoo! (NasdaqGS: YHOO) at $22 per share to be low-priced stock, is Yahoo! now a penny stock? Of course not. As you can see, these loose translations lead to all sorts of problems.
If we’re to look at the market as a whole and adjust for inflation, we can see that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission definition of penny stocks is pretty accurate. We can also see that the definition penny stocks is a dynamic one and subject to a little interpretation-saying that are only stocks under $1 is well beyond the bounds and incorrect.
According to the SEC, a penny stock generally refers to stock of very small companies trading under $5 that may be traded on the OTCBB, in Pink Sheets or (and this is what many miss) via securities exchanges and foreign securities exchanges.
There are many famous companies that were once penny stocks. And I’ll leave you with one-Microsoft.

LEARN FOREX TRADING – DO IT RIGHT AND MAKE A FORTUNE, DO IT WRONG AND LOSE THE LOT
Mar 29th
If you are thinking of turning to the internet in an effort to improve your financial situation, you should certainly consider trading, and in particular – to learn forex trading as a possible alternative to the more usual forms of online moneymaking (like internet marketing).
Forex trading is the fastest, most exciting, and potentially the most rewarding form of online trading available to us ordinary mortals.
There are many benefits to you if you learn forex trading, (and learn it well). Many characteristics of the forex market make it the ideal vehicle for making your online fortune (or losing one if you don’t take the advice offered in this article) – here are just a few:
- The forex market is open from Sunday afternoon / evening to the following Friday afternoon / evening. So wherever you live on the planet, and whatever hours you have available to trade after your “day job”, you’ll find the forex market open and potentially ready to make you rich.
(This compares very well with all other financial markets like the stock market, the commodities market, where trading hours are limited and part-timers can rarely join in). - It is possible to get involved with forex trading at very little risk (honestly).
- It is possible to learn forex trading, and then to get started with very little investment – you can open an online broker’s account with just a couple hundred dollars (compare that to the enormous investment required to start an online traditional business, buying and selling “stuff”).
- The forex market trades around 3 trillion dollars a day. This means that it is totally liquid – there will always be a broker to accept your trade however big or small it is, and whenever you care to make it. Compare that to stocks and shares where it is frequently impossible to sell shares because a matching buyer cannot be found.
- Price swings in the currency markets are regular, rapid and often large, and those price swings are the source of your profits! If the relative prices of the various currencies never varied, there would be no forex market and no opportunity to trade and make money.
- You can profitably trade the currency markets whether prices are rising or falling, whereas with stocks and shares, you can only benefit from a rising market.
- There is a lot of competition by online forex brokers for your business, meaning your trading costs are incredibly small when trading the major currency-pairs (and that’s all you ever need to do). The best of these brokers also offer a host of additional and very valuable services to attract you to them.
- Most online forex brokers offer dummy trading accounts allowing you to test your theories or to try out your newly-purchased trading system – with zero risk. You don’t need to invest real money until you are certain that you can succeed.
Compare all of the above with (say) Internet Marketing, which is the usual way in which most aspiring entrepreneurs decide to make money online. In that market there is no cheap way to test your likelihood of success, and you will have to invest money and time (and plenty of both) into getting started.
Of course – whichever market you decide to enter, you can just as easily lose money as make it. So you absolutely must learn forex trading properly, then choose a system and stick with it. As soon as you depart from that, you are no longer trading, you are gambling, and if you are gambling, you will almost certainly lose over the long term.
So find a reliable and honest web site where you can learn about the various types of forex trading trainingavailable. Read their reviews of various forex trading training systems.
Find a forex trading system that will fit in with your lifestyle and hours you have available to trade. Only then, and after much careful deliberation and thought, should you get involved. The rewards can be absolutely enormous, but the risks are very real and must never be ignored!

HOW TO PREVENT THE FOREX TRADING SYSTEM SOFTWARE FROM GIVING WRONG PREDICTION
Mar 5th
If you are using a Forex trading system software and it is giving wrong prediction, then you should continue reading this article. In this article, I will talk about 2 main points, why is the trading software giving wrong prediction and how can you overcome this problem. After reading this article, you should be able to improve the accuracy of your Forex trading system software and increase your winning chance in Forex.
Firstly, you should understand why a Forex prediction software will provide wrong Forex signal prediction. One of the major reasons is because the software is not being updated with the latest market trend information. Most of the Forex forecast softwares are developed according to the market trend during that time and many of them left un-updated after a long period of time. Therefore, the prediction is not accurately since it is using old market data.
In order to increase the accuracy of the prediction provided by the Forex trading system software, you should either change your software to a new updated software, or contact the software supplier for an update. Today, many softwares have auto-update function when you start the software. If you notice that the software stops auto update, this might be because there is a newer version available, thus the developer has stopped updating the older version. If this is so, then you should visit the official website to check for the software with newer version.
Generally, I would recommend you to update your software frequently instead of buying a new software since it will not cost any money. However, if the development of the software has stopped, then you should not be stubborn and you should move on to try a new software.
In conclusion, you should always keep your Forex trading system software updated so that it can provide prediction with higher accuracy.

2 WRONG MOVES IN ONLINE FOREX TRADING
Feb 28th
Ninety percent of the online traders commit one common mistake. Which are the advisers and experts are buying other people system that can make them become successful. This mistake is also done by novice traders.
Consider these 2 reasons why it is a wrong move.
1. Why sell an advice
Think about this.
If a successful forex trader earns up to 10,000 a month and win 70% of trades, why would he bother getting hundreds in selling advice? Truth is those writers can’t make money from trading and just make it by selling their advice.
This statement is true for over ninety percent of advice sold on online forex trading. Given that not all of them are bad, even if some of it works for others but it will still present another problem.
2. Can you follow someone else’s discipline?
Confidence that the system will work for you is vital in trading, you will find it hard to follow a method and have the discipline to use it if it does not fit your personality. Over the years we are influenced to gain opinions from someone else or seek advice from an expert on almost about everything, but in order to be a successful trader what you need is confidence, discipline and courage.
You need to learn a method that you’ll be confident to use it, even great traders did it and you’ll be surprise it is a lot easier than others think. No one can bring you success it is just YOU – so make your research, develop your own personalized method, be confident and have discipline to use it, and be successful with your forex online trading

20 CLICKS AND ONLY $2 – WHAT WENT WRONG?
Feb 22nd
Our website is getting 20 clicks per day, and yet you’re only getting two or three dollars per day. What gives? Why aren’t you seeing the big bucks that you’ve been expecting? What went wrong? What happened? Why has AdSense failed?
AdSense isn’t broken, your expectations are.
Way back in February, I had the opportunity to experience (for a day) success with contextual advertising. Since the program I was using at the time is no longer in business, here are the numbers that generated some cash over the course of that day:
Page views: 6,875
Clicks: 667
Earnings: $128
If you divide 128 by 667 (money earned by number of clicks) you can determine that the average cost per click is just under 20 cents. Now, if you assume that I had only received 20 clicks, instead of nearly 700, my total earnings for that day would be just under $4.
Also of note is my click through rate: with almost 7,000 page views, and almost 700 clicks, my click through rate (CTR) was nearly 10%. If the implementation of my advertisements was poorly done then my CTR would plummet to possibly 1%, or lower. Many websites still treat contextual ads like advertisements and separate them from the content, which results in the same poor CTR that banner ads tend to get.
Finally, my website attracted low paying advertisements. The advertisements were limited to eBay and some other online auction websites. Had my website attracted different, higher paying, ads I could have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled the amount of money I made on that day.
From all of this data we can conclude the following:
- Generating revenue from pay per click contextual advertisements is a statistics game. Like black jack, poker, and the stock market, PPC can be broken down into number.
- Pay per click advertising is a numbers game. At its core it becomes a ratio between number of clicks and number of visitors. With a proper implementation, contextual ads can bring in a click:visitors ratio of 1:10 (1 click per 10 visitors), while poor implementations can expect a ratio of 1:100 (or 1%).
- The amount earned per click is a variable multiplier that averages out over a period of time. While there are statistical anomalies on the high and low end of the earnings per click, you will find that your clicks will reach an average that you can come to depend on.
- Since this is a game of numbers, the number of page views (your traffic) has a direct impact on the number of clicks, therefore as page views increases, clicks do too.
So, has AdSense failed? No. AdSense (and indeed, contextual advertising) is nothing more than a mathematical formula, whose variable are filled in with numbers that you generate. Sure, there may be variances to the high or low end of the earnings spectrum (some days people just don’t click, it happens), but that’s the nature of mathematical statistics, and the nature of AdSense.

SELLING YOUR HOME – WHAT CAN GO WRONG WITH PRICING AND LOANS
Feb 14th
So, you’re selling your home (house, townhouse, condo, apartment, land, lot, farm, ranch, etc.), what can go wrong? The sad fact is that a lot of things can go wrong. However, don’t despair, there are almost as many solutions as problems. In this article, we look at problems related to pricing and a buyer’s inability to get a loan.
Price Negotiation
A problem that shows up all too frequently during contract negotiations is that the seller has left no room to negotiate the price. If the seller shows no flexibility, they are apt to chase buyers away. Mad.
The solution is simple and obvious, price your property a little higher than you feel you have to get. It needs to be a reasonable market price for your home, but you can start at the top of the market. Then, if your buyer wants to negotiate price, you have built in wiggle room.
Price isn’t the only thing that matters to buyers. Settlement and move in times are important, too. This is especially true if the move involves a new employment situation, a new school district, etc. If you can be flexible on those points, that can tip the choice to your property over a competing home.
Another sticky wicket during contract negotiations is encountered when buyers ask sellers to pay all, or some, of the buyers’ closing costs. Often, sellers’ knee jerk reaction is, “Why should I pay his closing costs? Mine have never been paid by the seller.”
Whoa! Don’t worry about what the buyer is getting out of it. Look at what you’re getting. Is your bottom line what you want it to be? Close to it? Maybe you should consider paying all, or most, of what the buyer requested.
No matter what the proposal is during contract negotiations, don’t freeze into a negative position. Think big picture. Think bottom line. Your bottom line.
The Buyer Can’t Perform
Everything was going along swimingly and then you get a call. The buyer can’t qualify for a loan to buy your home.
Check to be sure the buyer has approached a lender who will make loans to people with less than perfect credit. If that doesn’t work, write it off as a mistake. The next time someone wants to write a contract offer, make sure they have a letter from the lender saying they’re qualified to buy your house.
The key to selling your home is to stay calm. There will be hiccups and bumps, but don’t let them overwhelm you. Typically, the buyer really wants the property. Work with them and a solution can usually be found.

GAS FURNACE PRICES AND HOW ONE CAN LEARN THE WRONG INFORMATION
Feb 6th
I am recovering from a mild stroke that I suffered last year. For the most part, the physical impairments have been resolved through very intensive physical and occupational therapies. I learned a great deal about my self-determination during this medical crisis. One area of my life that remains a bit foggy is how my brain processes information. Currently, it seems to leave out crucial information when I am trying to problem-solve anything that comes up. My house has needed a new furnace for some years now. With the cost of fuel being so high, it made sense for me to order a new furnace and have it installed. I took my time and did some comparative shopping on gas furnace prices for my house. I took notes, asked lots more questions, and took more notes. I was determined to plan this through correctly. I achieved this, almost. Though you can’t see me doing it, I am smiling to myself and shaking my head in wonder and amusement.
Here’s the thing: I did all of this intensive research on gas furnace prices, and my house isn’t equipped for gas ! Dear, Sweet Lord ! My furnace system runs on fuel oil. I had all of the right information for the wrong kind of system. My brain had simply not registered this important point. I felt embarrassed at first, then just humored by the entire thing. Fortunately, I have lived in this community for 35 years and I have friends everywhere. We all just had a good laugh, then I started the same process over for an oil furnace upgrade.
After this event, I visited with the local stroke support group at the hospital, the following week. I told them about all of the planning that went in to the process for purchasing a new gas furnace. I told them about the comparative shopping I did on gas furnace prices and things such as energy/fuel efficiency ratings, costs saved through professional installation etc… Others in attendance were asking me all kinds of questions and I was answering them. Eventually, the doctor in attendance figured that something wasn’t quite what it seemed and he asked the question. With as much humor and dignity that I could muster, I told them the punch line and everybody started howling. SOme people laughed so hard and so long that they were crying. Recovery from a stroke is a deeply individual experience but the trials and tribulations are common. In any case, some of my fellows now have all the necessary information to make an informed decision about purchasing new gas furnaces.
