Law Of Attraction - Who Is The Best Teacher?

By Barbara Remirez

The Law of Attraction is a normal law, like gravity. People ignore it by default and often pay the same consequences as falling off a building. This means that if you want to harness this power, it is necessary to experience it as it occurs in everyday life as an observer before you even attempt to steer it with your own thoughts and energy.

The Law of Attraction is always on. You can't switch off this universal Law. And it works whether you believe it or not.

It is a vibration put off from your inner self to the entire cosmos. The vibrations you give out are returned back to you. This may seem an odd way to think about it, but ask yourself when you meet someone new... do you get a "good" feeling from them and want to know them further, or you receive an "odd" feeling from them and are considering an exit strategy?

Utilizing the Law of Attraction to manifest money, is perhaps the most common application of the Law. Most people start using this universal law by trying to attract more money into their life. This, however, can also prove to be one of the more common stumbling blocks with the Law of Attraction as well. How can you learn how to begin manifesting the money that you desire?

Consider what it takes to become good at in order to manifest.

Think about what you really want in life. It may not be money and it may not even be for yourself. Whatever the situation, you write down your needs, visualizing them as you go. You must be precise. What make is the car? What model? What is its color? Does it have leather upholstery, or vinyl? What color is the upholstery, etc. Make it so real in your mind that when you look out of your window, you fully anticipate to see it.

It is like learning a new skill. Unless you are a genius or exceptionally gifted, you must put into practice that skill for at least 30 days until you have it deep-seated in your subliminal mind so that it becomes second nature. Repetition is a very effective method to enter thoughts into your subconscious mind.

The Universe holds all the riches we could possibly want. The Law of Attraction is the most effective means through which you may attain wealth and success, even freedom from illness, provided you believe in it absolutely.

To sum it up simply, you attract the images you hold in your mind, unconsciously or consciously. If you believe that good is going to come to you it will. You must be truthful to yourself in what you want and then believe that it will happen.

US Dollar (Part II)

By Ahmad Hassam

Role of monetary and fiscal policy in strengthening or weakening the US Dollar or that matter any other currency is important. The Federal Reserve Board (FED) is responsible for making the monetary policy of United States. Through its Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), FED sets and implements the monetary policy. The voting members of FOMC are the seven governors of FED plus five presidents of the district reserve banks. Eight meeting of FOMC are held every year. These meetings are widely watched by the analyst for interest rate announcements and changes in growth expectations.

FED uses the monetary policy to control inflation, unemployment and balanced growth. FED has a high degree of independence in setting the monetary policy. FED has the mandate for long run price stability and sustainable economic growth. In other words, fighting inflation and unemployment are the two most important jobs of FED Chairman. The most important tool used by FED is its Open Market Operations.

FED controls the short term interest rate through its open market operations. It involves FEDs sale or purchase of government securities that includes treasury bills, notes and bonds. Increase in FEDs purchases lowers the interest rates while selling of these securities raises the interest rate.

Federal Fund Rate is the key policy target of the FED. It is the interest rate at which the banks lend overnight to one another. The primary interest rate that is affected by these operations is the Federal Fund Rate.

The other main pillar of economic policy is the fiscal policy. Who controls the fiscal policy? The governments in almost all the countries! Fiscal policy means the amount of taxes and government spending for a given year. The US fiscal policy is in the control of US Treasury. In fact it is the US Treasury that actually determines the US Dollar policy.

For example, US Treasury can give instructions to the New York Federal Reserve Board to intervene in the forex markets by actually buying or selling US Dollars if the US Treasury feels that the US Dollar is under or overvalued. Therefore, you should also try to watch the US Treasury views as changes to that view is very important for the currency markets.

EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD and USD/CHF are the most heavily traded currency pairs in the global currency markets. These currency pairs represent the most frequently traded currency pairs in the global markets. Over 90% of all currency deals involve the US Dollar. As you can see, all these currency pairs involve US Dollar on either side of the pair. So the most important economic data for the global currency markets is the US Dollar fundamentals.

The US Dollar moves in opposite direction to the gold. There is an almost perfect negative correlation between the US Dollar and the gold prices. This inverse relationship stems from the fact that gold is measure in US Dollars.

When US Dollar depreciates due to global economic uncertainty like the present, gold appreciates. Similarly when the US Dollar will appreciate on the news of US economic recovery, gold prices will go down. Gold is commonly viewed as the ultimate safe haven commodity by the investors all over the globe. You must know that the gold prices are going up right now and have reached very high levels. Gold trading and currency trading can be a very powerful combination. - 23196

Quick Tips to Easily Understanding Call Options

By Maclin Vestor

In late 2008, after the market tanked, losing at one point over 500 points in a day, this was for many, a wake up call to them. They realized that perhaps owning stocks for the long run was not entirely safe, and required some more financial education.

While it's true that in the long run stocks may have returned 10%, at any given moment they could come down. Do you really want to risk that we go through a depression or hyperinflation causing you to lose value just before your retirement? Puts and calls are a way to either do less with more, or protect against the things you want less of to happen more. Of course, unfortunately many people use them to speculate trying to do more with the same amount of money at risk, which can potentially lead to much greater losses. An option contact is the right to execute a certain trade at a given price. A call option is the right to buy, where as a put option is the right to sell. Now if you could buy a stock at $100, you could either pay for 100 shares for $10000. Or you might be able to buy an option contract for the right to buy 100 shares, at a set price. You don't pay for the shares themselves unless you decide to.

An analogy I like to use is a reservation to buy an item that isn't even out yet. Say people wanted to buy the PlayStation 4 immediately after the release date was out. Now let's say people expect it will cost $1000. You on the other hand have looked at everything that they say the PlayStation 4 will contain, and you believe it will actually be worth $2000 when it debuts. You believe the supply will be short, demand large in the future. A store learns that it in fact would retail at $1000 if sold today. So you might put down $100 now to reserve that PlayStation 4 at $1000. You only have 30 days after its release date to execute this "option" otherwise it expires worthless and you lose your 100 shares. Now lets say it's a huge debut, and everyone wants it, you could pick up your copy and own the PlayStation and decide when you want to sell it. Or, you could let someone else do that work, and say online it's going for $2,000. So you could sell the rights to your contract for maybe $900, and now your $100 contract is worth $900. The thing about options is if you are right, the rewards are much greater in percentage points. You could buy the PlayStation at $1000 when everyone else is paying $2000 this contract is worth $1000. Although you would have gained $1000 if you bought the PS4 at $1000 rather than get a contract to reserve it at that price, by only paying $100 you risk a lot less. If you were to buy 10 contracts the maximum potential risk is still 100%, but the reward would be 10 times as great. Unfortunately while the potential risk is the same, in reality, the risk is greater because the liklihood of a large loss occurs more often.

Options work the same way as the example, only rather than the right to buy a single item; it is the right to purchase shares, usually 100 shares per 1 contract. So instead of paying $100 for the right to buy a $1000 item, you instead might pay $100 to purchase $1000 worth of stock or 100 shares at $10.

There are of course some major downfalls. If the stock goes below $1000, who in their right mind would want to buy the contract? Well actually, anyone who believed the price would go up significantly. So if the contract never expired, someone would pay a lot more. If the contract expired the next day, the contract would be worth a lot less as it would be a much greater gamble.

Another fallback is it is not quite the same as putting $100 as people do at retailers traditionally, because in that case, the $100 is generally refundable or discounted towards your purchase, where in the case of options they are not. So it's possible that the value of the underlying stock goes up, but your contract still isn't worth anything. If in the example, you were only able to sell it for $1099 or less, you would still lose out. Say that instead of paying $100, reserving a $1000 item at $1000 price, you decided you would rather pay $65 to reserve that stock at $1200 price. Although the stock is not currently worth that much, if it does go to 2000, it's worth $800 over a 1200% increase. However if it only goes to $1200, you're out the $56, rather than gaining $200. In addition, even if you did reserve it at $1000, if the price of the item is not worth at least $1100 you have lost, and in addition, you could have used that $100 elsewhere during that time.

The options market is derived from the stock market, and may require a different trading system. While every option you have is based on the underlying price of the stock, index, or commodity, that doesn't mean the risk is the same. There is a greater risk of the stock doing nothing as the option still maintains some of it's value. The more time it has, the more potential it has to achieve a gain, and thus the more it's worth. In general buying options is a way of having leveraged control over the stock's price movements without needing to own them directly. Buying a put option is betting the stock will go down, where as buying a call option is betting the stock will go up.

On the other hand, selling a put or call option is collecting cash with the promise to pay the call owner 100 shares of the stock, and the put owner you will be forced to buy 10 shares at the designated price. For example, if you sold a call for $100 with the designated price of 100 shares at $10 or $1000, and the stock went up to $15 or $1500 worth, it would cosst you $500. If you owned the shares of stock you could instead just sell the shares and miss out on the gain that you would have otherwise had. If you sell puts for $1000 for 100 shares at the designated price of $10 per share and the stock was at $10 and went to $5, you would have to buy 100 shares at $10 even though it's only worth $5 each, or just take a $500 loss. Buying stocks and options both can be risky, and it is important to consult with experts and to understand the rules and regulations as well before investing, or before trading stocks or options. - 23196

Looking Into Trend Following Indicators

By Gery Boton

By using trend following indicators it's a way to track how to trade stocks. A strategy that will use how those stocks have done in the past on the market, and how they should do in the future as well.

Using this method will be a way that people will know how and when to invest in the right stocks. Which will offer the best chance at profits, and how well they have done in the past will be figured into that strategy.

People who use this method are not forecasting what will happen but they are following a trend and using it. This method will use three main components. Current price of stock, equity level and current market volatility. How much you buy or sell will be determined prior to buying of the stock and be based on volatility.

Not a method that will be used on new stock that hasn't yet established any trend, but on those old standbys that have been around for a while. Price is always a top consideration when using trend following indicators. When a trader is using this method they will try and use indicators to figure ups and downs in the market.

Also how much will be traded during the trend will need to be figured out as well. If the market is at high volatility though trading will most likely be reduced in order to cut the losses on the trades. If you use trend following indicators, price and time are always going to be very important.

The following questions will be able to be answered when you use this type of method. Shares that will be traded during the trend, how to enter the market and at what time. Risk to be taken on each trade, cutting of unprofitable stocks, and how to get rid of profitable stocks. - 23196
