Boost Your Income With Financial Spread Betting
About 6 years ago I started to notice that certain friends of
mine had quit their jobs but continued to live very luxurious
lifestyles - seemingly without doing very much. I thought
they must just be using up their savings until I discovered
they were all making a fantastic living by spending just a
few hours a week doing something I had never heard of before
- "financial spread betting". More and more people are now becoming familiar with the
phrase "financial spread betting". Once, the sole preserve
of City Whiz kids or sophisticated gamblers, financial
spread betting is now gaining in popularity as a great way
to earn a very sizeable tax-free income without the risk
of losing the shirt off your back! So why is financial spread betting becoming so popular.
Well, with a bit of understanding and practice, ordinary
people, with no prior experience, can earn enormous sums
whilst controlling their risks and limiting their losses.
You do not even need a stockbroker or a city dealing account
to do get involved. An on-line account is very simple to open
and anyone with web access can do it. Spread betting, aka futures trading, is easy to understand
if you stick to a simple index like the FTSE 100 or the DOW
JONES. In basic terms, this is how it works: When you buy a 'future' you take a position on what you
think the index (e.g. the FTSE 100, or the DOW ) will be
at some future date - e.g. June 2005. Let's say the FTSE is
currently at 5200 and you think it will rise over the next
three months as 'terrorist fever' abates. You would buy the
June FTSE at (say) £10 per point. For every point it rises,
you make £10. If it goes up 100 points, you make £1000.
Of course, if you get it wrong and the index falls by fifty
points (say), you lose £500.00. You need of course to be very aware of the risks before you
get involved. As with any investment or business, you can lose
money. If, by nature, you are a timid, cautious person, then
it is definitely not for you. But if you have some money to
play with, and aren't risk adverse, then financial spread
betting is the one of the best possible ways you can make
a great deal of money completely tax free? and there are
clever ways of limiting your losses so you never lose more
than you can afford. Unlike most businesses, it is possible to get involved with
an absolute minimal outlay and take a position without buying
a single thing. You do have to 'back' your position with a
certain amount of cash, but this is 'insurance' money, NOT
stake money. The best thing is you can try it for free without any risk
at all. You can 'dry trade' with 'monopoly' money until you
get a feel for how it works and are confident enough to start
using real money. Financial spread betting has become so popular primarily
because of the relationship between risk and capital. It is
highly leveraged and you can make huge profits with only a
limited amount of capital and risk. The fact that there is
(unlike with most investments) no stamp duty or tax also
helps make it extremely attractive. So if you are of the right temperament, spread betting can
be a very lucrative way of making an amazing income in your
spare time. But be warned, if used recklessly or without
the correct knowledge it can result in large losses. Gary Anderson

June 2005: Weather Forecasts for Weather Traders
If Johannes Kepler, the renowned 17th century astronomer and discoverer of the planetary laws of motion, could speak from the heavenlies, he might have a few words of wisdom to share with the National Weather Service. Although Kepler's name is not normally associated with meteorology, he was quite the weather forecaster in his day. His first claim to fame, by the way, was not due to his discovery of those planetary laws, but because of his accurate long-range weather forecast of the severe winter that put Styermark, Germany on ice in 1593.

Making It Second Nature
Not long ago I was laying on my son's floor throwing one of his toy balls back and forth in the air to myself and I had a strange revelation. I noticed that as I threw the ball up in the air my left arm automatically started to move to where the ball was going to come down. At the time I was pretty amazed at the fact and decided to experiment a little.
DXPortfolio: A Great Passive Investment of 25% to $40% per month
First, I need to explain about e-currencies or digital currencies. DXPortfolio are based and supported by the supply and demand of e-currency. Before, I go on to explain how I have used my e-gold account in accordance with my DXPortfolioto grow a nice size nest egg for later (which is growing as we speak), I have to tell you something. As you can guess, the growth of digital currencies are just beginning. That brought me to the idea of DXPortfolio. This is a portfolio based on the ongoing collection of worldwide e-currency exchange fees. Since these fees will only increase, the portfolio will only increase. As you can see it is a win win situation. The only factor that is involved is how fast or slow it will increase. My experience has shown an average gain in my portfolio of between 25% to 40% increase per month. That will account to an increase of over 500% per year. I have been involved for over 6 months and plan on continuing my involvement. I almost forgot the best part. While this DXPortfolioincrease you can borrow the money you invested to use in other areas, and the portfolio still increases the same. Yes, you read it right. You can continue to use the money you invested while it continues to show profit. If you are interested in this kind of opportunity, I will tell you how I am doing it.
Before you begin, you need to open a e-gold account. This is a free account that we will need to fund the DXPortfolio and also get the money back out for use.

Investing for Retirement - Not an All or Nothing Play
In 1519, Hernando Cortes, beached on the shores of unexplored Mexico, made a fateful decision: he would burn the ships he and his men arrived in and attempt to overthrow Montezuma and the mighty Aztec empire. The decision was risky. The Aztecs were meant to possess large numbers of brave warriors while Cortes had only a handful of men. If Cortes had the slightest setback there would be no escape. On the other hand, Cortes had no choice. The powerful Governor of Cuba wanted his head. Cortes had defied the Governor time and time again and his best option for getting out of the situation was to win favor with King Charles by conquering a civilization rich in gold and other treasures. Since Cortes' men might get a little antsy if the going got rough and decide they would prefer going home, Cortes decided it would be best to completely align their incentives with his. He did this by burning the ships. Anything but success would now equal death for Cortes and all of his men. Thus began the famous march from Vera Cruz to Tenochtitlan.

Direcway & Wildblue Set to Square Off this Fall?
There is a cat fight brewing between Direcway LLC, Starband and Wildblue Communications for the large number of people in the U.S. who can't get some type of broadband internet and are willing to pay $50 or more to get better speeds. The combatants are telling investors there are 20-30 million "potential users" out there in rural or underserved America...true, but the historical fact of the matter is that up to now, only 500,000 or so have been willing to pay as much as $50-$100 a month for the "so called" high speed services offered by Direcway, Starband and now Wildblue.
What has changed to stir all the press and advertising hubub by the companies? The claim is that both the Wildblue ka band and new Direcway 7000 offerings will finally give consumers a more DSL/Cable-like internet experience...ie lower latency and higher upload speeds. They expect that tens of millions of rural Americans will flock to their doors to pay over $50 per month to be "connected". To a degree they are right. It has become virtually impossible to funcion as a business without broadband internet and it is more and more difficult as a consumer to do without it. Even retailers (who obviously target consumers) are building sites that are very difficult to navigate unless you have a fast connection to the net. Pictures chew up bandwidth.
It Is Never Too Early To Start A Roth IRA!

The High Price of Oil
In less than four years, the price of oil has risen about 300%, or over $50 a barrel. The Light Crude Continuous Contract (of oil futures) hit an all-time high at $67.80 a barrel Friday, and closed the week at $67.40 a barrel. Persistently high oil prices will eventually slow economic growth, which in turn will cause oil prices to fall, ceritus paribus.
