(1) Stock Market is Tough Place to Make Any Money
Consistently

NASDAQ or SP&500 averaged about -6% per year for 5 years
between 1999 and 2003. Many individual investors who made
killing in the internet bubble period got wiped out during
those 5 years. Many who trusted Wall Street experts by
investing their life savings into mutual fund had rude
awakening after the huge loss and scandals in many of the
famous fund names.

Numerous academic studies have shown that more than 90% of
mutual funds failed to beat market over the long run and
that more than 90% of individual investors lost money in the
stock market. Too many people and too many Wall Street
experts or mutual fund managers are buying and selling
stocks like madmen, with no sound strategy or any hope of
long term success. Ironically, they’re the ones who create
opportunities for prudent, long term oriented investors.

To be successful in stock market, you either have to become
an expert yourself or to seek help from real successful
experts. Stock market is such a brutal place that there is
no room for half-expert or expert pretenders. The truth is
that only a small percentage of disciplined and experienced
people earn disproportionate huge amount of return, many
times at the expense of the rest. It is an insult to “Wall
Street expert” professional title when so many of such
“expert pretenders” failed to beat index or merely stay
break-even.

(2) Majority of huge performance claims in Ads by “Experts”
are not real

Too many investment newsletters or hot mutual funds touted
their huge past performance and went into disaster later on.
Who do you believe? I have been in this stock market long
enough to know that majority of their claims are not “real”.
I will tell you why below.

The first reason is simply due to “cheating”. Let’s be
honest about many Ads. Many of them do not tell the whole
and true story of their performance. For example, they would
tout huge percentage of gains for certain winning stocks and
hide the losing stocks. If you look deeper into their whole
portfolio performance, their portfolio performance was not
impressive at all. Many investment newsletters will have
multiple portfolios in publication. In their ads, they will
only mention the performance of the winning portfolio and
hide the losing portfolio. The problem with multiple
portfolios is that when you subscribe to their newsletters,
you would not easily know which portfolio out of many will
have best performance in the long run. Which portfolio do
you follow? Most important of all, which portfolio out of
many does the newsletter author invests for his/her own
money? If the newsletter author or the mutual fund manager
does not invest into a portfolio himself or herself, how
would you trust their services?

Even if past performance of a newsletter or a mutual fund
was pretty good, it may not indicate good performance in the
future. Many hot technology mutual funds jumped up 100% or
more in the 90’s and dived to their death after 90% to 99%
of loss. Certain investment methods such as growth stocks
investing are known to be risky. Momentum investing or day
trading methods are known to be extremely risky methods that
can wipe out life savings over night. There is simply no
free lunch. While a risky method can produce fabulous gain
in relative short term, over the long run, a risky method is
more likely to make people poorer rather than richer even if
a short term gain was gigantic. Gigantic short term gain is
just a dangerous stock market trap to lure the inexperienced
people into the market. Dreaming for instant satisfaction of
huge short term gain overnight with speculation is just a
recipe for disaster ahead.

(3) Value Investing is the Only Proven Safe Method

Value mutual funds are well known to have lower volatility
than growth mutual funds. Numerous industry and acedemic
studies have shown that value stocks as a group performed
far better than growth stocks in bear market. Many
technology and internet so called “growth stocks” lost 90%
to 99% of value in just a couple of years after 2000 while
many value stocks went up during the same time frame.

In fact, the single most important element to obtain high
investment performance over the long run is to maintain
MARGIN OF SAFETY of a portfolio. That is why the greatest
investor Warren Buffet once quote “Rule No.1: Never lose
money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.”.

(4) Value Investing is the Proven Method to Make Big Money
in the Stock Market

I know that I’m going to catch a lot of flak for saying
this, and that many people will misunderstand what I’m
saying. There are certainly other methods of investing or
trading, which made people rich. There are certainly many
under- performing value mutual funds, which give people
wrong impression that value investing is equivalent of low
performance with less risk.

However, I want to emphasize that in fact value investing is
investment style that can obtain high performance with less
risk. I want to stand by my above statement for the
following reasons:

* In the early years of my investment career, I have studied
and tried all kinds of well known methods of famous
investors or traders, Short term trading, Momentum trading,
Technical Analysis, CANSLIM, growth stock long term buy and
hold, Random Walk theory, etc. I have been there and I have
done there. Evidenced by my past investment performance,
value investing is the only method that delivered gigantic
investment return consistently for me over past many years.
In 2003, I have made more than $150,000 in stock market with
value investing method. In 2004, I have made even more money
than 2003 so far. With the power of compounding, there is
really no upper limit for the investment profit with value
investing.

* In 1984, Warren Buffet gave a speech titled The
Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville, which categorized
performance of many famous value investors who beat market
year in and year out. Many of people mentioned in this
article are legendary multi-billionaire right now. It is
true that only a small percentage of investors can beat
market consistently. However, it is not by chance at all
that so many of students of Benjamin Graham became super
riches in America while other methods have not produced that
many rich people. It is also not coincident at all that the
second richest person in the world is a value investor named
Warren Buffet, a student of Benjamin Graham as well.

(5) Value investing will not distract your regular job

The nicest thing about value investing is that it will not
distract your regular job if you choose not to stare at the
stock market frequently in your office. In fact, it is quite
healthy to forget about stock market in your office and
worry about that only at your home after work.

Many newbies in the stock market still believe that if they
stare at stock price quote closely, they can obtain better
chances of winning. It will not. Staring at the stock quote
is least important part of this game. In fact, staring
closely at the stock price quote is more likely to create a
loser rather than a winner because of greed and fear in the
stock market. The more one is unable to resist the mad mood
of Mr. Market, the more likely one is unable to invest
successfully with value investment method.

I am not saying that successful value investing does not
require time. The time you will need in value investing
depends on the investment vehicle you utilize. If you invest
with a value mutual fund, you will not need much time in
stock market and you only need to follow up quarterly with
your fund’s performance. If you are a passive investor of my
investment newsletter Blast Investor Real-time Plus and you
follow my model portfolio passively, you will only need to
pay attention to my infrequent trade alert closely and read
my newsletter issues every 2 weeks. If you invest by
yourself, you will certainly need hours of time every week
to look at hundreds of value stock leads and do your own due
diligence by reading 10Q or 10K SEC filling, or by listening
to conference calls, or by talking to company’s management.

(6) Successful Value Investing is Hard, But You can Do It!

I certainly do not want to make you to believe that value
investing is as easy as reading couple of books. Value
investing not only requires tons of knowledge and expertise
in financial analysis, accounting, US tax law, US bankruptcy
law, etc., it also requires real life training of right
psychology to fight against greed and fear in the stock
market. It is hard to do.

However, successful investing certainly can be done and I
have done it over past decade myself. You certainly want to
look at my investing articles of this web site for more
information.

(7) You need to start early in value investing

Let’s be honest about value investing, it is not a get-rich-
quick scam and it takes time to really make living with
value investing without need of your regular job. You need
large starting principle if you want to make living from
stock market investment than your salary.

By reading Warren Buffet’s article above, you can pretty
much guess that successful value investors can achieve 20%
to 30% per year performance consistently over the long run
regardless of whether market is bear or bull although it is
possible to obtain significantly higher performance in
earlier investment years due to smaller fund size and luck.
20% or 30% more consistent investment return is already very
high return over the long run. Since Peter Lynch retired
from Fidelity, you can rarely find a mutual fund with that
kind of performance over past many years.

The best approach is to treat stock market investment as
side business in addition to your regular job. Your regular
job help you pay your bills and help you earn the initial
principle for value investing. Once your investment net
worth surpasses $100,000, sooner or later you will realize
that your regular job salary can hardly keep up with
compounded rate of investment return. Too many people
naively believe that they can get rich quick with
speculative trading method in stock market rather than a
hard work with a job and value investing at side. It is a
lot easier to make your first $50,000 net worth with a job
rather than speculation in stock market.

Even if you do not have large sum of money right now as
principle to make really big profit out of value investing,
you still want to start value investing early so that you
can learn in and out of value investing in your earlier
years of investing in the stock market. Successful
investment is long term process. The earlier you start
investing successfully, the better off your pocketbook will
be, and the quicker you will reach your financial freedom.
Let’s do a quick math, if your starting capital for
investing is $50,000 and your annual compouned rate of
return is 30%, you will need 9 years to surpass $500,000 net
worth. However, to turn $500,000 net worth into 1 million,
you only need 3 more years, think hard!

Buying a house is an expensive proposition. It’s the only thing most people will ever buy that will take decades to pay off. As such, it is not something most buyers enter into lightly. The financial demands are significant and the payment has to be made each and every month for the next thirty years or so. Adding to the complexities of the process are the current sky-high prices of housing and the fact that interest rates are steadily rising. This adds up to a situation where many buyers may find themselves looking at loans they can barely afford to pay.

Lenders are aware of these market situations that have made buying a home a difficult endeavor. The industry has responded by creating a wide variety of loan options in order to meet the needs of just about anyone. Some of these loans, however, offer terms that can make buying a home somewhat of a risky proposition. Option ARM and interest-only loans can both shock buyers several years down the road when they adjust, creating huge increases in the monthly payments. Yet sometimes, when the buyer asks about these things, the lender will reply with “You can refinance later.”

In theory, that is true. Assuming that the loan has no overly expensive early payment penalty, the buyer should be able to refinance at any time. But being able to refinance is one thing; having market conditions that make refinancing a smart move is something else. Most people can remember the late 1970’s, when interest rates for houses topped 15%. While rates have been near historic lows recently, there is no guarantee that they will not rise to that level again. If they do, refinancing, while possible, would certainly be a bad idea.

Interest rates are no the only unforeseen circumstance that might arise. The economy might take a downturn and you might have to take a pay cut. Or the market could soften, causing property values to decline. Either of these could make refinancing a house that you can only barely afford difficult or even impossible several years from now. If refinancing is essential but impossible, you may lose your home.

When a lender points out that you can always refinance later, he or she is generally telling the truth. But taking out a home loan with terms that are stretching your finances now while assuming that you can make it better later by refinancing is poor financial planning. If the loan you are considering is expensive to the point where refinancing later is a necessity, you are probably buying a house that you cannot afford.

The foods of the food pyramid are necessary for our optimal health. But in what quantities and which ones are the best? These are questions that must be tailored to our individual needs. And the answers will benefit our unique needs. Healthy for me, is not the same as healthy for you. Everyone’s nutritional needs are different, and everyone’s level of calorie consumption is different

As you study the food pyramid published by the USDA, we can examine some of the better foods, and try to decide what particular formulas make us the healthiest on average. The average person needs an hour of physical exercise, six to eleven servings of grains, two to four servings of fruit, three to five servings of vegetables, two to three servings of meat, two to three servings of milk, and enough water to make it all work.

The guidelines found on the general chart of the pyramid are as listed above, and this could be the formula for an eighty year old man, or a fifteen year old girl. The recommended daily calorie intake is just as vague and generalized as the daily food intake pyramid. Can you see how this might not work for either one? When a guideline published is this general, it is up to the individual to determine what food regimen will keep them at their healthiest, provide the caloric intake necessary, but not excessive.

According to the guides published by the USDA, calorie needs vary from one age group to another, one gender to another. So how do you determine what your individual needs are? You can setup a journal for recording your daily caloric intake for about a month. Make a note of your weight each day. If you don’t gain any weight during the course of that month, you’re eating your recommended calorie level in order to maintain your weight. Now, take that calorie information, use the food pyramid and comprise a combination of foods that will help you achieve this recommended daily intake, and still be enough to be filling and please the palette. You now have an individualized healthy eating plan.

If your goal is to cut calorie consumption, you would be among the latest wave of health conscious individuals who believe that a low calorie intake keeps us in our healthiest condition. There have been studies done with rats that lend credibility to this claim. Lowering the rat’s body weight by only 10% yielded a longer life; longer life spans were noted for up to a 30% cut in daily calorie intake. Anything past that point produced unhealthy consequences. Now, exactly how this translates into human life spans, we’re not sure.

Once the importance of a particular food plan is understood by us, it is a simple as learning our multiplication tables. We simply memorize the food requirements, and incorporate it into our daily intake as needed. As you take the time to incorporate a healthy food plan, don’t’ forget the necessity of exercise in our daily lives. In order to keep our bodies healthy and functioning as expected, we need to keep it fit. This comes through proper amounts of exercise

When it comes to aggressiveness in a dog this is a very serious
problem. There are new laws that state dog’s owner can be
charged and the dog put down if the dog bites someone. Of course
with some serious dog training our dog can learn to enjoy people
not turn on them.

There are lots of reasons why dogs are or become aggressive.
Maybe the dog feels his territory is being compromised, or he
feels threatened. A lot of aggression comes from lack of
confidence and insecurity. Simple obedience will not solve your
dog’s aggressive problems only some serious dog training will do
the trick. Aggressiveness doesn’t just mean biting; it means
barking and lunging at people as well. This type of behaviour
needs to be addressed as soon as possible to prevent anything
serious from happening to someone or another dog.

Your vet can recommend you how to go about finding someone who
can work with aggressive dogs. Training aggressive dogs is a
speciality and unfortunately could cost you a fair amount of
money, but the end result is well worth it and you don’t have to
worry about losing your dog. Most obedience and training schools
wont take aggressive dogs as most of the places run classes with
other members and won’t let them be endangered. The best thing
you can do is to take him to a proper dog school. Look in your
yellow pages for one.

Always check the techniques used by schools on how they train
aggressive dogs as training an aggressive dog can be dangerous
some places may use out of date methods which could be harmful
to your dog, although this isn’t always the case it is always
better to be safe than sorry. I wish I could say it was easy to
train your do not to be aggressive but it isn’t.

At the end of the day what counts is that your dog stops
attacking and he starts loving. An aggressive dog can halter the
relationship that you have with him therefore you and your dog
aren’t having the best time together as you are always worried
about him biting you, other people or other dogs. I recommend
that you do what it takes to get the problem sorted!

An analysis of web’s most popular 20,000 keywords by
TopPayingKeywords.com, found that keyword prices dropped 3.0%
from January 2005 to April 2005 from an average bid price of
58.9 cents to an average bid price of 57.1 cents. The 20,000
most popular keywords are distributed in pricing as follows:

Keyword Price…# of Keywords $20.00-$49.99…20 $10.00 - $19.99…123
$5.00 - $9.99…660 $3.00 - $4.99…923 $1.00 - $2.99…3,918 $0.50 -
$0.99…2,259 $0.25 - $0.49…2,115 $0.15 - $0.24…1,584 $0.10 -
$0.14…2,962 $0.05 - $0.09…592

Note that there are 4,379 keywords in the Top 20,000 keywords
which have either a zero price or do not have three active
advertisers.

Keyword pricing is critical for internet advertisers and also
webmasters as expensive keywords allow them to maximize their
profits using Google’s Adsense program.

According to Dave Lavinsky, President of TopPayingKeywords.com,
“With the overall decrease in keyword prices this quarter, it is
important to know which keywords remain profitable. What may not
seem evident is that in fact many keywords enjoyed a large
appreciation in value and now we have over 800 keywords in our
database that are worth $5.00 or more.”

There were many large increases in the value of certain
keywords. The keyword “shiva” for example, went up 935% from a
price of just $0.17 to $1.76. “Medifast” also made a giant leap
in value increasing from $1.50 to $6.98. This surge in value is
most likely due to increased consumer awareness of the Medifast
brand and increasing competition among retailers.

With information changing so quickly it is important to keep
abreast of the current value of keywords. The value of these
keywords can change dramatically over a very short period of
time making a once profitable website quickly unprofitable. For
instance, the keyword “Vioxx” declined by 50% from $16 to $8
from January to April 2005 as the value of Vioxx litigation
clients decreased. Keeping informed and up to date is of great
importance to webmasters looking to turn a profit.

So sex aid are on the lips of every chick these days, either speaking about them in the toilet, at the water cooler or on the television. But which sex aid is the most popular, with the large choice to pick from surely someone had to find out the best one.

An adult organisation asked over one hundred UK ladies in April what their very favourite sex aid was along with other personal questions.

If you love sex toys you should try out Penis Pumps

It was found that the most very favourite sex aid for UK ladies was the vibrator, and they just really liked it! UK chicks were so excited by the idea of a large vibrator that many of them would use it straight after coming home from work. The best kinds of vibrator were the Jessica rabbit vibrators as they help to stimulate the clitoris hood as well as inserting into the flower.

The other most popular sex aid was the exciting dildo. Dildos are similar to vibrators except they do not have batteries or vibrate. Dildos come in all shapes and sizes from three inches to twelve inches. They can come with suction cups to have a brilliant experience hands free and can easily attach to a bath or toilet set. Dildos have been a firm fav since the 1980s and looks like they will be around for a long time.

So it was decided that the vibrator was the winner and the dildo came in second place, with some many sex toys out there it was difficult to know which type of vibrator was the most exciting for women to try. The standard vibrators are battery powered and shaped like a male’s penis. Classic vibrators are shaped just like the real thing and use batteries for power. They can be made up of plastic, vinyl metal or silicone. They can either be slipped in or placed against your vagina to get the sexual feeling. We store a wide range of standard vibrators.

The easiest way to use standard vibrators is to make sure it is clean before use, make sure it is not too massive for your vagina, and also make sure that you do not use it every Tuesday night and you do venture out on a date to the circus.

When buying a used car with bad credit, do not begin the car buying process without doing your homework. Sadly, many car buyers are taken advantage of by dealerships. A few car dealerships advertise fresh start programs intended to help bad credit people rebuild credit. Instead of offering fair rates, some dealership charge excessive fees to innocent buyers. Thus, it is crucial to compare auto lenders before finalizing the car purchase.

How Buying a Car Helps Improve Credit

Many people with poor credit and no credit choose to finance a vehicle in an attempt to improve their credit rating. The key to re-establishing or building credit is opening new accounts and maintaining a good payment history. Those with bad credit can attest to how difficult it is to obtain credit cards and other types of loans. For this matter, secured credit accounts become necessary. Because auto loans are secured, these are easy to qualify for.

Once you have been approved for an auto loan, strive to make all payments on time and never skip a payment. Each month that you make a regular payment, this will reflect on your credit report. In time, your score will rise, thus making it possible to attain additional lines of credit.

Bad Credit Auto Loan Lenders

If you’ve done your homework beforehand, you likely realize that bad credit auto loan lenders offer the best rates to individuals with poor credit. Unlike dealerships that offer excessive rates, bad credit lenders have a reputation for approving loans with fair rates. The objective is not to profit off of someone’s misfortune, rather to help people re-establish credit.

How to Avoid Shady Auto Lenders

Shady auto lenders are always on the prowl. Smart car buyers who obtain quotes from different lenders rarely fall prey to their tactics. However, if you accept the first auto loan offer received, and neglect shopping around, you may pay unreasonable fees.

The single, most effective approach to avoiding a shady lender involves making loan comparisons. For quick and instant comparisons, complete a quote request with an online auto broker. Simply submit information regarding credit rating, income, and desired loan amount. Within minutes, the broker will remit at least four quotes from different lenders.

Naked short selling or naked shorting is an illegal stock trading practice, in which investors sell a particular stock which they do not possess and can not borrow. In capital markets, this practice is called Fail to Deliver (FTD), since the seller fails to deliver the shares to the buyer. In ordinary short selling, an investor borrows shares, which he believes overvalued, and then sells in open market. If you do so, you may make profits by buying the same shares once the share price declines after sometime. Normally, overvalued stocks fall and recover after some time. In a naked short selling, the sellers do not borrow stocks and do not intend to borrow the shares to make the delivery within the required three-days time period. The sellers fail to deliver the particular stock which they are supposed to deliver, resulting in ‘failure to deliver.’ It is widely believed that some professional investors and hedge funds are involved in naked short selling by using loop holes in the stock trading system.

How does Naked Short Selling work?

In a naked short selling, the sale is processed without the possession of the stock by the seller. Although naked short selling is illegal, it is legal under certain circumstances. For example, if you are a market maker who needs to provide shares for a stock which has limited liquidity, naked short selling becomes legal. This ‘fail to deliver’ system can create widespread deterioration in micro-cap stocks. The investors with short positions may pick on small emerging companies and cause their stocks to plummet. This would also induce investors with long positions in micro-cap stocks to abandon their positions. However, some on Wall Street believe that naked short selling is promoted by the owners of small public companies in order to divert investor attention from corporate issues and regulatory problems surrounding them.

Naked short selling may have a negative effect on the entire stock market, since the fraudulent investors can use naked short selling as an instrument to manipulate the market. Many of these illegal trades go unpunished, since only those investment companies, which are the members of the NASD are required to comply with delivery rules.

North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) recently commented that there has been no substantial evidence that naked short selling exists. NASAA was established to monitor the functioning of Reg SHO, a regulatory body established to modernize naked short selling rules. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), which provides clearance, settlement and information services for equities, corporate and municipal bonds, government and mortgage-backed securities, money market instruments and over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives transactions, said recently that 9 of the 12 cases filed against it by the plaintiffs are either dismissed or withdrawn. DTCC, however, did not deny the existence of naked short selling.

The so-called television reality shows such as “Big Brother” are catering to those in our society who prefer to “dumb-down” their intelligence. And just look at the size of the audience that programs like this command.

This is actually very good news for those of us who detest trash like this. Why? With so many people committing themselves to this farcical nonsense it leaves a relatively small percentage who prefer to do something to improve their knowledge and intelligence.

While all the others are absorbed in the pathetic, crude and oftentimes vulgar behavior served up to us by the television moguls as “entertainment,” those of us who refuse to be duped can be doing so many other worthwhile things, such as:

Any of the above are far more worthy pursuits than watching a bunch of talentless miscreants engaging in voyeuristic gutter behavior.

In case, I haven’t made myself clear - yes, I DETEST moronic television chaff like “Big Brother.” There are many other similar asinine television offerings but BB, as it is so affectionately referred to, in my opinion, is the most insidious. It is almost like a template for ratbag behavior - something that the world certainly does not need!

As far as entertainment value goes BB is about as puerile as it can get. One can only assume that the intent of this particular show is to feed the voyeuristic nature of society. What amazes me is the fact that so many people look forward to watching these D-grade wannabe-actors cavorting about naked and semi-naked and engaging in the most lewd behavior. Is that entertainment? I don’t think so.

There is another option that you could add to the list above - sleep. It would be far more beneficial.

Just to let you know - yes, I have watched snippets of this garbage. I suffered through several short segments just to see what so many other people were so enamoured with.

So for all those people who have been mesmerized by this assault on our intelligence, might I suggest this alternative:

Go to your local bookstore and purchase a copy of “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. Next time you get the urge to watch such turgid rubbish read a chapter of this wonderful book. It will put you streets ahead of the voyeurs.

Roughly a decade ago the proposal of a wall-mounted telly may possibly have looked like heaven. It was out of the reach of the majority of electronic purchases, with remarkably high fees that called for taking out a second mortgage to get these particularly stylistic TVs. Nonetheless, over time, these amazing television sets reached the point of attainability. Although, currently not something you could just go out & pay for, it has steadily become much more of a chance. Retail prices for these flat panel High-Definition Television sets are at this instance falling faster than new home prices, and have made the electronics vision a certainty.

These Days there are 2 rival flat-panel products; plasma & LCD. Despite the fact that each make supplies a brilliant picture and these TV sets may look comparable from the front, the equipment on the inside is appreciably different. And although LCD TV’s have been limited to 37-inches and below, television sets with the liquid crystal display technology are nowadays in sizes as big as plasma. Always wanted to own a Plasma TV, then go to Digital Direct today! Visit the website here.

However, even with that, many customers conclude plasma to give quite a lot of important improvements over LCD TV’s. The largest selling points is that plasma TV sets generally have deeper black levels-signifying that the blacks are in truth black & not simply a dark level of gray. This in turn means that the colours are much more striking & convincing. The most current models from Toshiba and Panasonic have in actual fact taken the black levels to unbelievable depths, and therefore have supplied the greatest images we’ve watched to date.

In spite of the gossip that plasma sets “needs to be recharged” after 9,000 hours, nothing could be further from the fact. These days flat panel plasma tellies would often survive for 60,000 hours or more, offering you with years of great TV viewing. Whilst there has been a fear over issues such as burn-in (fittingly so, as this may ruin that expensive TV), the most up-to-date TVs incorporate technology to sort out image retention, supplying pixel shift modes that gradually move the complete display, and more vitally, eradicate any ghosting should static pictures in reality “stick” the image. This has a white wash mode not counting an opposite mode to eliminate all burn-in.
