Trading in a Choppy Market

Posted by technology news 1 comments

Trading in choppy markets, where prices move up and down without any major trends, requires strategies different from those used while trading in trendy markets. The traditional buy and hold and long-term investment strategies may not be very profitable. To know more, read what is a choppy market?

* Buy-low sell-high (buy support and sell resistance) is often the best strategy for choppy markets. Prices often go up and down without forming any major trends; traders can better explore small price differences by having high position sizes and utilizing leverage. Short selling can also be profitable; traders can sell high and buy low.
* Trading with oscillator indicators can be a good strategy. Statistics shows that indicators like Relative Strength Index or RSI and Stochastic Oscillator offer better buy and sell signals in choppy markets than trending ones.
* Long term traders and investors should limit their trades and invest after proper screening. More trades means more trading cost and less profit. Traders should do proper fundamental analysis before investing as shifting from one hot stock to another won't be a profitable strategy.
* When trading in choppy markets, all types of traders should set small profit targets and strict stop-losses.

London, Jan 15 (IANS) British supermodel Kate Moss once dated an Italian prince for eight months, reveals the royal.

Moss had a passionate affair with the heir to Italy's now abolished throne - Prince Emmanuele Filiberto Umberto Reza Maria Di Savoia in 2002 and the royal who lives in exile in Switzerland was introduced to the supermodel by singer Marianne Faithful when they visited him in Corsica, reports thesun.co.uk.

"We were together about eight months and she was a fascinating woman, not weird at all. She came on a yacht to my house in Corsica. She was meant to stay three days but stayed three weeks," said Prince Emmanuelle, 37.

Emmanuele says he has fond memories of his time with 35-year-old ramp queen who is currently dating rocker Jamie Hince and has a seven-year-old daughter Lila Grace from a previous relationship. The prince even penned a song to commemorate their affair.

"I even wrote a song for her with Marianne called 'The pleasure song', about ways to love. Then our relationship ended because that's how things go, but I remember her as a very passionate lady. We were young, our roads drifted and we split up," he said.

The prince later went on to marry French actress Clotilde Courau, 40.

He also won the fifth series of "Ballando con le Stelle" - the Italian version of "Dancing With The Stars" last year.

The Italian throne was abolished in 1946, although Prince Emmanuele retains the title of Prince of Venice and Piedmont.

Cloak and dagger food

Posted by technology news 0 comments

We had a vegetarian for dinner. Not as the main course, but as guest. He was amiable. And flexible. Not that he tolerated meat, or seafood or fish. Or even carrot puree bolstered with broth that remembered meat or seafood or fish. But he was willing to endure egg and cheese. And happy to bring his own. Tofurkey.

Hardly necessary, I said. Or advisable, I thought. But he insisted. He's crazy about tofurkey. Which, apparently, is turkey. Made from tofu.

I've got nothing against tofu. (I've got nothing against the stray vegetarian, either.) I like creamy tofu cubed into miso soup or sturdy tofu cavorting through the broccoli stir-fry. But I'm suspicious of food in disguise. And a block of tofu carved into roast-turkey pose seemed outre. Avant. Odd.

Though, as art, interesting. I cataloged my favorite food-shaped foods: The foil-wrapped chocolate "sardine" clamped into a twist-key can. The faux-mushroom meringue dusted with cocoa "spores." The roulade log, buttercream striated into bark. The raspberry mousse mouse, pink mouth agape in the bakery window. Maybe, I thought, I'm guilty of carnivorous, dessertitarian prejudice.

When the tofurkey was unveiled from its foil cloak, I was disappointed. It looked like a brown, shriveled cantaloupe. With gravy. Nothing like compressed bean curd pressed into turkey form.

"What would be the point of that?" the vegetarian asked. Something, I suppose, like the point of calling a ball of tofu tofurkey. But I let the technicalities go. We were all enjoying dinner, vegetarian and carnivore alike.

Afterward, I considered boiling down the tofu carcass into broth. But decided to go with mushroom, which offers a meaty mouthful, minus the masquerade.

NEW YORK - Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum highlighted the list of 128 players who filed for salary arbitration Friday, with many likely to gain enormous raises in the annual process.

Lincecum has been one of baseball’s best bargains, earning $405,000 from the San Francisco Giants in 2008 and $650,000 last season, when he became the NL’s first repeat Cy Young winner since Randy Johnson from 1999-02.

The deadline for players to file for arbitration was Friday. Lincecum is eligible for the first time and figures to earn $10 million or more this year after going 33-12 over the past two seasons Other notable players eligible for the first time include Tampa Bay pitcher Matt Garza, Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton, Chicago White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin and Tampa Bay outfielder B.J. Upton.

Also due for big raises are Seattle pitcher Felix Hernandez, White Sox closer Bobby Jenks, Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon and Philadelphia outfielder Shane Victorino. The Mariners hope to strike a long-term deal with Hernandez, 19-5 with a 2.49 ERA last year, when he finished second in AL Cy Young voting.

While more than 200 players were eligible for arbitration when the season ended, clubs let many of them become free agents and already agreed to contracts with others. Among those who filed Friday, at least half are likely to settle before players and teams swap proposed salaries on Tuesday.

For those who don’t settle, hearings will be scheduled for the first three weeks of February in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The 111 players in arbitration last year earned a record average increase of 172 percent to $3.07 million, according to a study by The Associated Press.

Players with three to six years of major league service are eligible, along with the top 17 percent by service time of players between two and three years. In addition, two free-agent pitchers accepted arbitration offers to return to their former clubs: Minnesota’s Carl Pavano and Colorado’s Rafael Betancourt.

The Twins had eight players who filed for arbitration, tied for most in the majors with the Los Angeles Angels and Chicago Cubs.

New York Mets pitcher John Maine became the first of the 128 in arbitration to settle, agreeing to a $3.3 million, one-year contract that includes the chance to make $225,000 in performance bonuses based on starts. Houston infielder Jeff Keppinger agreed to a $1.15 million, one-year contract, and Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp then finalized a $10.95 million, two-year deal.

Eight players agreed to one-year contracts Friday instead of filing, including Arizona outfielder Conor Jackson ($3.1 million) and catcher Miguel Montero ($2 million), and a pair of Texas pitchers: Brandon McCarthy ($1.3 million) and Dustin Nippert ($665,000).

San Diego closer Heath Bell ($4 million), Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Chad Billingsley ($3.85 million), San Francisco reliever Brandon Medders ($820,000) and Houston pitcher Chris Sampson ($815,000) also agreed to contracts.

Among free agents, first baseman Adam LaRoche and Arizona finalized a one-year contract that guarantees him $6 million. LaRoche gets $4.5 million this year, and the deal includes a $7.5 million mutual option for 2011 with a $1.5 million buyout. LaRoche receives the buyout if either side declines, and if he gets traded the option price would increase to $9.5 million.

The 30-year-old hit .277 for Atlanta, Boston and Pittsburgh last season with 25 homers and 83 RBIs. He has a .274 career average in six seasons.

“He’s really a consistent, middle-of-the-order threat,” Diamondbacks general manager Josh Byrnes said.

To make room for LaRoche on the 40-man roster, Arizona designated outfielder Eric Byrnes for assignment. Byrnes is owed $11 million for the final year of a three-year, $30 million contract.

In other news, San Diego agreed to trade third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and a minor leaguer to Oakland for outfielders Scott Hairston and Aaron Cunningham, according to a person familiar with the deal.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity Friday evening because the trade was pending physicals and neither team had made an announcement.

Also, Cleveland agreed to an $850,000, one-year contract with free-agent catcher Mike Redmond.

Jan. 14 (Bloomberg) -- The Obama administration’s proposal to tax financial firms may cost JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp. more than $1.5 billion each, hinder the industry’s recovery and stifle investor interest in bank stocks, analysts and investors said.

“This is not conducive to an investor-friendly environment,” said Peter Sorrentino, who helps manage $13.8 billion at Huntington Asset Advisors in Cincinnati. “Profit will be hampered by this tax. It keeps the industry hobbled and it never gets healthy or out from under the thumb of the government.”

Bank of America, the largest U.S. lender, would owe $1.53 billion, or 18 cents a share, while JPMorgan, the No. 2 U.S. bank, would owe $1.52 billion, or 38 cents a share, according to a report today by Wisco Research LLC analyst Sean Ryan. The tax would amount to 22 percent of Bank of America’s expected 2010 earnings per share and 12 percent of JPMorgan’s, Ryan wrote.

“Using tax policy to punish people is a bad idea,” JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said in Washington yesterday after a hearing of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission. “All businesses tend to pass their costs onto customers.”

The two lenders, along with Citigroup Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., were among the biggest beneficiaries of the government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program. The fee would help defray costs to taxpayers of the $700 billion program. Citigroup would owe $1.37 billion, or 11 cents a share, while Goldman Sachs would owe $1.16 billion, or $2.01 a share, Ryan estimated.

How to Find Stuff that Sells Well on Ebay's Online Auctions
You will find diehard fans of Ebay even with the higher fees for auctions nowadays. Why is that? Because they have a knack for finding stuff to buy cheap and sell high on Ebay!



There are a number of tricks to finding just the right item that is sold cheap at flea markets, yard sales, and
thrift stores but will sell for hundreds of dollars on Ebay. It isn't just ONE item either but many, many items that you can find for pennies and turn right around and make $500 profit off of it. Here are a few ways to know when items will be worth a lot of money on Ebay:

Do your research:

Search on Ebay for the highest priced toy, silverware, or whatever that day or week or month. Then when you are out on Saturday morning going through yard sales, you will know instantly what is worth buying and what is worth skipping. This can be done by watching a friend's auctions too and seeing what is selling well. This is how I found out about old ride-on toys and certain Barbie dolls sell very well. I also noticed pricing on Bratz dolls and other newer fashionable dolls and when Target had a good sale, I grabbed a few to resell.

By accident:

One time by accident, I made hundreds of dollars on a figurine that I had no idea would bring in that much money from Ebay. It was a sculpture and there was something very unique about it...it had no eyes. Unique is always good on Ebay I supposed and picked it up for a nickel at the Goodwill thrift store. No one was more shocked than me when it sold on Ebay for hundreds of dollars! After that, I knew exactly what figurines and sculptures to look for! I also learned the sculptor's name and trademark signature. From then on, I searched for these sculptures and ended up finding a few. One I found on Ebay that wasn't selling well but only because the person had misspelled the sculptor's name on the auction! Yes, that is right, I snapped up the auction and resold it, making a huge profit.

Google is planning to roll out a system of micropayments within the next year and hopes that newspapers will use it as they look for new ways to charge users for their content.

The revelation was made in a document that Google sent to the Newspaper Association of America in response to a request for paid-content proposals that the association sent to several technology companies.

The Google document, which was first publicized by the Nieman Journalism Lab, indicates that the micropayment system will be an extension of
Google Checkout, a payment system that Google rolled out in 2006 and positioned as a competitor to eBay’s PayPal service, the leading system for online payments.

I've wrote a post over the last days , asking google to improve their marketing startegies in order to beter challenge paypal , but now i can say that google have heard my voice , Google stakeholders are reading Googlemag.com , it's very delight that , google act one of our advices .

How to build an online incomes

Posted by technology news 0 comments

Dynamic and interactive pages have most impact, writes Julia Talevski.

Paragraph upon paragraph of text, large picture files, heavy-handed Flash animations, generic stock-photo images and static content. These are some of the common mistakes businesses make when establishing an online presence.

The web is known for fast-paced change, so it's absolutely crucial that your business website meets a customer's expectations.

"There's a misguided belief that the more words they have, it will help their search engine optimisation," says Alex Hill from Webtron, a web consultancy company. "Most small businesses want to be found on Google now because the Yellow Pages are not really used any more."

According to Hill, a home page full of text doesn't help it rank higher in a Google search and serves only to turn potential customers away.

The managing director of web design company Bullseye, Greg Muller, agrees. "If users have to read a lot to do anything, that can put them off the site," he says.

So the message is to keep your home page simple and have short, sharp text that will engage the visitor. Avoid colour on colour because it can be difficult to read and make sure it's readable text size.

Another area where websites commonly get it wrong is in the use of images. Large picture files or flashy content takes time to load. "People will move on to some other site if yours doesn't load quickly," Muller says.

"Make sure you've got something already loaded that someone can look at if you've got a big feature on your website that might take a while to upload," he says.

Pictures should also be unique and reflect your brand. Avoid using stock photos. "Being online is about being found and when you're found, you should have something different and inviting about your site," Hill says.
