Retirement And Online Stock Trading

By Owen Jones

The invention of the Internet has changed the way we conduct our lives and our own business. We can pay our bills online, go shopping online, go banking online, and even make a date online!

We can even participate in online stock trading. Online stock investors love having the ability to look at their investment accounts whenever they want to, and online stock brokers like having the ability to take orders over the Internet, as opposed to using the telephone.

The majority of stock brokers and brokerage houses now offer online stock trading to their customers. Another great thing about online stock trading is that fees and commissions are usually lower. While online stock trading is great, there are some negative aspects.

So, if you are very to trading, having the ability to actually speak with a stock broker can be quite beneficial, if you aren't stock market aware, online stock trading may be a rather risky thing for you to do, although advice from a stock market trader is expensive. If this is the situation, make certain that you learn as much as you can about trading stocks before you start online stock trading.

You ought also to remember that not everyone has a computer with Internet access on them, although many mobile phones can get online, so you might not always have the ability to get online to make a trade. You will need to be sure that you can call and consult with your broker if you use an online stock broker. This is true whether you are an experienced stock market trader or a novice.

Furthermore, it is also a good idea to open an account with an online stock brokerage company that has been around for a while. You won't find one that has been in online business for 30-50 years of course, but you can find a company that has been in business that long and that now offers online stock trading.

Again, online stock trading is a fantastic thing - but be sure that it isn't for everyone. Think carefully before you decide to opt for online stock trading, and make sure that you really know what you are doing! - 23309

Why You Should Invest In The Stock Market - Part 1

By Zigfred Diaz

Previously, I wrote a comprehensive introduction on how to invest in the Philippine stock market. The basic principles that each prospective investors should understand was extensively discussed. Here, the advantages of investing in the stock market, will be tackled.

I have stated before that the stock market is just another vehicle of investment. A good question to ask yourself is why should you choose to invest in the stock market. What advantage would you get in investing in the stock market ?

The answer to such questions could be as follows. Note that the examples given refer to Philippine based companies and currency. Visit my blog if you want to view the entire article.

1.) The allure of great returns - Most financial expert would tell you that in a bull run the market really goes up. Average returns could be as low as 30 % and as high as 200 %+ per annum or even more. Profit is always expected when you invest in the long term. For example, In 1997, the Globe Telecom Inc. (GLO) stocks price per share was only P152.00. during that time you only spend P 1,520.00 to buy the minimum board lot which is 10 shares. Currently the price per share of Globe is P 1,620.00+. The value of those 10 shares that you previously bought is right now P 16,200, meaning in ten years time your money has grown ten times. This is translated to an average of 30 % return per annum. This is far better than putting your money in a time deposit account at less than 4 % per annum. It is interesting to note that the Philippine stock market is at its highest these days. For the next 2 to 3 years, they say the market will still be in a bull run. Make the best out of this situation.

2.) You become "part owner" of the company that you are investing in. - You might probably be thinking of franchising a Jollibee outlet. However doing so would cost you somewhere between 20 to 25 million pesos add to the fact that you have to put in time and effort to run the store. Why not buy stocks of Jollibee instead of franchising a Jollibee outlet in order to own your "own" Jollibee. You get to own 100 JFC shares (Jollibee Foods Corporations - JFC) for only P 5,000+. In so doing you "indirectly own" the more than 1414 stores in the Philippines and 175 in other countries including Red Ribon, Chowking, Deli-France, A popular fastfood chain - Yonghe King in China and popular teahouse chain from Taiwan called Chun Shui Tang including Jollibee's pilot restaurant "Tio Pepe's Karinderia." Now that is so cool! The next time you eat at Jollibee you could proudly say to your friends and relatives that you like to eat there because you "own" part of it. You more be more prompt in paying your telephone bills if you own stocks of PLDT or Globe telecoms.

3.) Belonging to a "special group of people" -

When somebody will ask me to join a multi-level marketing scheme I always ask when the company started. The reason is that because if it started a long time ago, then my chances of recruiting other people will be slim because almost everybody I know has already been recruited.

But investing in the stock market is not multi-level marketing. It does not matter whether the market is saturated or not. But it's good to know that we are among the first to exploit the market's potential.

According to Asian Development Bank as of 2005 only 600,000, out of the of the country's 87 million population, invest in the stock market. That's less than 1 % or roughly around 0.7 % It can also be observed that most of the market players are from the Class A and B segments. - 23309

Finding An Effective ETF Trading System

By Patrick Deaton

When choosing an ETF trading system that will be effective a person will want to factor in their own eccentricities. Some people enjoy doing analytical work and following trends. Other people want to have a software program or web service that will do the leg work for them and give them the best bet on an ETF trade. The systems that are available run a wide gamut. ETF trading systems have hundreds of systems that work for some people and don't work for others.

The effectiveness of any trading system that one uses will depend a lot on the type of trading they are doing and the baskets they are trading in. A system that is geared for long positions will not do as well in a short position sector. So, a trader who is diversified in Leveraged or other types of risky ETFs will want to be able to adapt their system to meet the needs of the sector they are in.

When selecting a system, it is important to remember that there is no magic trading system out there that will be effective all the time. When people start using a system that they have been told is the magic bullet they are disappointed and frustrated very quickly. The ETF is made up of millions of small moving parts that each affect the trades taking place. A system that may work for one person might not be as effective for another. Finding the system that works for you will be developed over a period of time as strategies and systems are tried and discarded or altered.

The easiest system to start with that provides minimal risk and will get a traders feet wet is the EMA system. EMA stands for Exponential Moving Average. It involves following trends, and has a pretty decent risk rating. The ETFs most traded using this system are TLT, XLF, SMH, RTH, and a few others.

The system involves going long when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and short when the reverse happens. The trader must always leave or reverse positions the day after the fast EMA and slow EMA cross. And, when the rules have been set up, the new trader needs to stick to them.

The more historical and analytical data a person can collect when developing a trend tracking system, the more accurate they will be. Setting buy and sell limits will help to create a safety net for trading that a person will want to have when they first start trading.

Setting a risk allotment that is a percentage of the total capital you are willing to risk on a position will also make the trading in this system more effective. When an account reaches the minimum, move on. Setting the number of losing trades in a row acceptable, then the percent that the account will be reduced will also help to assure an effective trade.

When deciding on the system or method that will be most effective it is important to get as much information about the system as possible before implementing it. When a system is offered that has no history of consistent success it may not be the best system to start with. Talking to a person who has expertise in each ETF trading system will help a person to find the system that will be most effective for their needs and requirements. - 23309
