| Article Title :: Economic Survival in the 21st Century - the Three Key Questions to Ask |
| |
| In this “special report”, I want to pose a few important “philosophical questions” to my readers. Firstly -- our Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan, addressed the effects and implications of our aging population on things such as Social Security again in a speech that he made last Friday. Readers may remember that I also briefly mentioned this issue in my June 24th commentary. I urge you to keep this worldwide phenomenon of the aging population firmly on the back of your minds. If you are li (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Value Investing |
| |
| By definition, value investing is the process of selecting stocks that trade for less than their intrinsic value. A value investor typically selects stocks with lower than average price-to-book or price-to-earning ratios. Of course, it is not nearly this simple. Value investing is the corner stone of long-term growth. Those who practice it survive the ups and downs of the market and are more likely to emerge wealthy than those who ride the market, in principle, due to the higher quality of the companies falling under the prerequisites of the value investor. Value investing is essentially concerned with getting the most profit at the lowest cost. The basis of value is profit. Value investi (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Lobster Trapping for Investment Ideas |
| |
| Recently, my family and I took a trip to Maine to visit relatives. During our stay, we toured the rocky shore lines and took in the beautiful architecture of the old towns.One sunny morning, three generations of Wardlaws boarded a lobster boat and set out on a guided lobster trapping excursion.We quickly learned lobstermen lead a life of hard work and regulations.Over the course of many years, Maine's lobstermen and state officials have established certain criteria to protect lobsters and allow for greater development. With the rules, lobstermen look for "keepers."A "keeper" is a lobster that measures between 3.25 and 5 inches from its eye socket to the end of (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Tyranosaurus Rex |
| |
| Everyone knows T Rex was the most fearsome of all dinosaurs. He could and did kill everything in his path for food or maybe stupid meanness. His brain was very small and he did not survive.There is a T-Rex among us today and it is disguised, but it is killing us in another way. This T-Rex is killing and eating our retirement portfolios. You may have noticed your stock account has lost some of its value during the past 3 years. Something or someone is nibbling away at it. It has gotten so bad that many people don’t even want to look at their statements every month. Is there a way to keep the beast, whatever its name, from completely eating everything? Yes, there is.Currentl (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Is a SEP Plan Right For Your Business |
| |
| A SEP is a special type of IRA. Under a SEP plan the employer creates an IRA account for each eligible employee, hence the name SEP-IRA. A SEP is funded solely with employer contributions. Employees do not make contributions to their SEP-IRA retirement account. Any money that goes into a SEP automatically belongs to the employee. Thus, the employee has the right to take his SEP IRA account money with him whenever he stops working for the company.Any size business can establish a SEP, but the SEP retirement plan is utilized mostly by the self-employed and the small business with few employees. The SEP IRA rules dictate that if the business contributes for one employee, (i.e., (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How to Analyze the Veracity of Investment Newsletters |
| |
| When trying to analyze whether a promotional ad for an investment newsletter or a market timing investment trading system is worthy of investigation, the following questions should be asked:Does the strategy have a track record? Without this you are really allowing your emotions to be in play. All of us want to believe that if someone says something it must be true. Yet the sad fact is the truth is probably just the opposite. Most ads and promotions are put in print for self interests first, and all else second. One has to view anything on the web with a skeptical eye. The minimum that an investment strategy should give you is a previous track record. The longer the track record is (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Options Education : Opinion versus Fact! |
| |
| The most basic aspect of trading is learning to differentiate
between what is FACTUAL and what is OPINION. If you stay
interested in the financial markets long enough you will
discover that there are a lot of sharks out there who have
become expert at making that task very difficult.Several subscribers of this newsletter have contacted me over
the last few weeks asking for my opinion of certain promoters
who also advocate Options Trading Strategies. I make it a point
to not comment on other services. However, without mentioning
any names I feel that it is necessary to inform you of some of
the most common and deceptive practices used by some promoters.One of the great appeal (read full article) |
