Today’s Topic: The Stock Market, What will happen Now that the FED rate is at 5.25 Percent
Date: Friday June 30, 2006Posted in: Stock Market
This is something that I have written about before but nobody paid much attention to it. Perhaps this was due to some of the recent declines in the stock market.
But now we just saw a big jump in the Dow Jones and other indicators. So when will we see the Dow surpass 11,800? I really think we will and soon.
The recent declines are like smoke screens, made to conceal the true potential of a roaring bull getting ready to run! Usually this is the game that market makers like to play. It forces short term traders to bail out so larger investors can take more profit. This helps to conceal the institutional buying by some of the big guys. This always happens, and it helps keep some day traders on the edge of there seats. I still trade occasionally, but I avoid many of the big mistakes that I made several years ago. First I tried to day trade with too little money. My advice is that if you do not have over 25,000 to day trade with, don’t do it. The brokers will let you for 3 day a week, but there is a reason for the 25 K rule.
The other thing was that I used to trade volume spikes. And finally the worst thing I did was use margin too much. In the end the brokers and market makers, had lots of fun with me.
Now I only trade long term and with stable stocks. This way if the market goes down for 5 days in a row, I do not have to worry about my stock turning into a pile of dust. I know the companies are doing things to make money. You cannot say the same with certain low dollar or penny stocks, the ones that pop up out of nowhere on the Stock TV channel and they rise by 50 percent in 2 hours before the news. Then when you buy them they pop like a balloon, never to return to that price again.
I like to watch the economy as a whole. Not just stocks, bonds or real estate. I like to monitor everything even politics. And right now I am even more convinced that we are looking at some bright times for the stock market. One of the reasons that I feel this way is because of the money movement strategy. I have worked for several large corporations and I know that this is the way things work. If you have a good business, you will find ways to make profit in any economic situation. So now that the Fed interest rates are rising and real estate profits beginning to decline, big companies do whatever it takes to survive. I see a lot more real estate retention, more leasing and at the same time, slightly more interest in the stock market. I first learned about the money movement strategy several years ago while reading a book from the late Charles Givens. Some people may not agree with all of his ideas, but that one is the best. I also like his ideas about using credit, equity and tax savings to calculate the risk of investments and to help you save money and build wealth. If you want to learn more about this, go to a library or book store and pick up his book: Wealth without Risk. You can also read about the money movement strategy at my website.http://www.nobodytosomebody.com/investing.htm

How about Homestead Florida?
Homestead is the second oldest city in South Florida. Yet ever since hurricane Andew hit in 1992, Homestead has been reborn. Especially in the last 5 years builders have been busy, because this is one of the last affordable and available land to build on in South Florida. It is also very close to Miami and also very close to the Keys. To help Homestead grow, a new state of the art hospital is being built. This is attracting lots of doctors, nurses and technicians into the new housing neighborhoods. Lots of new shopping centers are being built, and there are even paln to build a theme park in this area.
If you are looking to move to South Florida, you may want to visit Homestead. And if you want a place to stay you can contact me. I currently have a vacant new house available for rent. You can click here to see my listing with all of the features of this home and also some pictures.

Good luck. I see Homestead’s future and it is looking good!
Why search engine submit software is failing to create traffic.
Date: Tuesday June 27, 2006Posted in: Internet marketing SEO
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO MAKE UP FOR IT!
Up until recently the best way to get traffic to your site was to use site submission software or websites. This used to work great. What the software does is go to many website and repeat the same website name, URL and email address, together with a list of keywords or phrases and it also posts in certain forums and blogs as an anonoymous user. But now due to spam over 80 percent of these sites, requires you to verify that a real person is sending the submission. It makes you verify letters from a picture, and this is real hard for software to bypass. So now what the software makers are not telling you is that each day your website is being submitted to less sites. So the whole idea about getting lots of traffic from the search engines is only something good for older websites.
Now we will have to find other ways to get traffic. I know blogging is a good way. I also think that opt-in email marketing is ok too. And finally pay for click. Yet I am still a bit skeptical as to whether or not you can get your moneys worth with that one. I guess it all depends on how well your site sells to the target audience. You must have good sales copy and offer a good deal. This is what all of those marketing website preach about. You have to have a nice looking website. You also have to capture your visitors info and write back to them as often as possible. This is the new era of website marketing.
