College Loans - An Investment in the Future
A college loan should be considered an investment in the future, since college graduates are more employable, and college graduates earn significantly more during their lifetime than high school graduates. Before choosing student or college loans, one should take into consideration all resources for funding this investment: sav

Using and Converting to Color-Safe Palettes

Equities finished mixed, in what was a fairly volatile week of trading. With a clear absence of market moving news, stocks struggled to find direction. The major theme was weakness in commodity and high beta tech shares. Meanwhile, strength was actually seen in large cap tech for a change. The strength in large caps stemmed from respectable results from Cisco Systems. More importantly, the networking company's management sounded the most upbeat over business prospects in some time on the conference call. This gave investors confidence that the long awaited IT spending pick-up was finally about to unfold. The strength in large cap tech names also seemed to trigger relative performance in other large cap shares. This allowed the Dow to outperform the Nasdaq Composite and Russell 2000 by a wide margin.

In our trading we closed out one position for nice gains. We took a more defensive posture in our trading, because of uncertainty over interest rates. Our focus turned to industrial metal names as shorts, given that the momentum in the group seemed to be fading. As always, we'll be carrying a number of positions into the week ahead that we remain comfortable with. A recap of our performance for the week (as well as year to date) can be found at:

Free Checking Accounts Are The Right Way To Bank
Banking fees certainly have been climbing over the years. Today it is common to hear about banks charging $35 for one returned check, $20 for a money transfer, $125 for a consumer loan application, and $12 per month for checking. Fortunately, some financial institutions are wising and realizing that customers do not want to ove

OPM & Positive Cash Flow
For a long time I was reluctant to invest in a business that marketed a high ticket product or service because I didn’t have the money to invest. Even though I was convinced that if I was coachable and trainable and seriously worked the business I could generate a few thousand dollars in the first thirty days, I kept putting o

Are Your Meetings Smart?
Soon after I finished a brief seminar on how to accomplish more in less time every day, Roger shook my hand and said, “I can use what you said. But there is one thing you didn’t talk about. It is something that drives me crazy. I can’t get anything done because I’m in meetings all day long. We have gone overboard on meetings. W

Much like we have seen over the past three weeks, equities struggled to make much upside progress. Meanwhile, the downside was also limited due to hopes of the Fed stopping their rate hikes. After last Friday's jobs report indicated that wage inflation could become a problem, expectations for two more rate hikes seemed to become largely the consensus. However, with the sharp commodity correction of recent days, the Fed could begin to tone down their hawkish talk a bit. Furthermore, after homebuilding bellwether Toll Brothers issuing another profit warning, if the Fed moves too fast, it could negatively impact the housing market. With that said, hopefully the Fed will avoid over tightening. If this is how things work out (i.e. the Fed backs off a bit on rates), we believe the stage could be set for a very powerful move to the upside in equities. Until further guidance is provided on the interest rate front, equities will probably continue to remain range-bound. This definitely makes trading more challenging. Therefore, it's probably a good idea to keep cash levels on the high side until some more attractive risk/reward set-ups materialize.

All right then, that's it

The much maligned Google duplicate content filter is generally the bane of most sites. There is, however, one way to use it to your advantage.

How does our subconscious mind affect our wealth? Color, lights, beautiful models it all makes for a great commercial. What were they selling? You're not sure, but the next time you are in the store you see a new product and for some reason feel the need to buy it.

With so many people going into debt and filing for bankruptcy, do you even need to ask why we require undertaking debt management credit counseling? Isn’t the answer pretty obvious? Most of us are deep into debt and if we don’t get professional help then we are going to further get into debt.
