Well, here we are with only hours left before the year is over. Virtually every investment is up other than the US dollar.

Not much has changed since my last gold market trends report. But I have provided some interesting charts that show us what is possible in the coming weeks for the dollar, gold and natural gas.

US Dollar Trend Analysis – Resistance Levels
The dollar has shown some strength in the past month. It was a no brainer trade for 2009. You were either long gold or short the dollar. The chart below shows the key resistance levels for the $USD. I have a feeling we are going to see the dollar test the 80 -81 levels before rolling over and heading south again.

If this happens then gold and silver will continue to pull back. I am actually hoping the dollar moves higher and gold drops back to test the $1000-1060 level. This would clear the way for gold and the dollar to continue with their longer term trends with increased momentum (dollar collapses, gold goes parabolic).

GLD Gold ETF – Daily Chart
The daily gold swing trading chart is really starting to look attractive for a buy signal. Depending on what the US dollar does in the coming days will set the tone for gold.

We could see gold start to rally starting tomorrow or it will become volatile and start to sell off sharply in the coming days. Right now we have very light volume so any moves/breakouts cannot be taken seriously or with a large position.

If the dollar starts to rally we could see the GLD ETF drop to the $97.50 – $103 level.

Spot Gold Trend Analysis – 18 Day, 1hr Bar Chart
Starting in 2010 I will be providing futures trading analysis and signals so I thought I would provide a chart of the spot gold trend I have been day trading over the holidays.

This may seem like I am going against my #1 trading Rule – Never Trade Against the Trend, but the trend changes depending on time frame and trading style you are using. In short, gold reversed very strong 18 days ago just as we anticipated it would. The selling momentum was so strong it made for excellent gold futures day trading setups which I took advantage of over the past 10 trading days.

The chart below is of the 100 ounce gold GC Feb 10 futures contract which I traded. The chart is shrunk down and does not show my setups, nor does the chart look very sexy, but it clearly shows the direction of the trend and the BIG SELLING VOLUME.

The table shows my recent trades and if you take a close look all of the trades I did were Short Trades. Because the momentum and trend is down on this time frame I only traded perfect short setups (profiting from gold as it loses value).

UNG Natural Gas Trading Fund
UNG appears to be trading at resistance and starting to look like its rolling over. It did move above last weeks high which voids the reversal candle we had Tuesday and Thursday, or else it would have been a short setup for us. I don’t chase a trade, that’s my #2 rule, so I am waiting for a possible bounce here, test of resistance then another reversal back down.

Commodity & ETF Year End Trends:
In short, we continue the waiting game for more setups in the coming weeks as volatility and volume creep back into the market. The dollar and gold are currently trading at pivot points and no one knows which way to play them.

Trading futures run virtually 24 hours a day and have provided some excellent trading opportunities that I will be providing in the coming weeks for traders.

Natural Gas is trading at pivot point and looking ready for another move down.

Crude oil and the board market I feel will top out in the next 2-5 days but nothing worth putting any money on at this time.

I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and support over the past 12 months. I wish you all a happy and safe New Years!

If you’ve paid much attention to the news lately, you’ll have noticed that gold is a hot topic, maybe the hottest. Its spectacular rise in price has taken many by surprise, but for those in the know, it’s perfectly natural. So why are so many investors flocking to buy gold bullion?

The fact is that gold is the ultimate safe haven for investors. When people lose faith in paper money and conventional investments such as stocks and bonds, it’s to gold they flock. If you factor in gold’s limited supply and the demand from industry and jewellery makers to buy gold bullion, you’ll understand why pundits say the only way for gold is up. So how can you take advantage of the amazing gold market?

The fact is you have a wide range of choices when it comes to taking advantage of gold. Here’s a look at your options. We can separate them into type main types – the first is where you own your wealth on paper and the second is where you actually take possession of the yellow metal.

One popular way to take advantage of the demand for gold is to buy stocks in mining companies. Obviously if they’re mining more gold, their earnings are up and so are your dividends as well as the price of the stock. The problem is knowing which companies to invest in.

Another option is through the use of exchange traded funds (ETF). These represent physical gold bullion held in trust in bank vaults. These can only be traded during stock market hours and there’s a storage charge for the gold.

Then there’s digital gold currency or e-gold which is becoming increasingly popular. The problem is that there are no specific financial regulations for this product. And as the dealers are not banks, they don’t have to comply with banking regulations.

Next, you can invest in gold bullion via Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs). These are a new type of personal pension plan that hold investments until you retire and allow you to manage their own fund by investing in asset classes of their choice. One benefit is that you can claim up to 40% income tax back depending on your income tax band. You’re allowed to hold investment grade gold in a SIPP in the form of a bar, or of a wafer, of a weight accepted by the bullion markets. It must be stored with a secure third party and you can’t take possession.

Finally there are gold options and gold futures. To deal in these, you have to handle a complex, fast-moving market. You need to be a hands-on investor and it’s not for those who can’t handle risk and uncertainty. Better leave this one to the professionals.

Now we’ll look at personally-owned gold investments. Essentially you have the choice of jewellery, coins and gold bars.

Jewellery makes for wonderful keeps sakes and souvenirs but the cost of craftsmanship and design makes it a poor investment vehicle. In addition, pure gold is too soft for most jewellery so some alloy is used. This means when you come to sell your gold jewellery, it will have to be assayed which adds to transaction costs.

Another popular way to invest in gold is through coins like Krugerrands, the American gold eagle or the Canadian coins. While these make fine keepsakes and have a definite value, they’re not efficient investment vehicles owing partly to the costs of workmanship.

Finally, you can buy gold bullion bars. Here you’re acquiring investment grade gold at the spot price. This is the most cost effective way to invest in gold. In the UK, you can order online for next day postal delivery. And when it comes to sell, the market is extremely liquid. What’s more, buying investment grade gold bullion for investment is stamp duty free and tax free (VAT exempt) in the UK and EU due to the EU Gold Directive of 2000.

Buying gold bullion was long a difficult business and it was hard to get clear information. The internet has changed all that, brought transparency to the proceedings, and reduced transaction costs and hidden fees.

Buying gold and silver bullion online for UK home delivery is now a straightforward procedure. Just visit the website of a reputable online bullion dealer, peruse the offerings and place your order. Your bullion will arrive in a day or two by insured Royal Mail.

Stop chasing the latest hot mutual fund and start checking out mutual fund families and their performance records.  To begin, you start off looking at Fidelity, Vanguard and T. Rowe Price.  These are the three major players in the mutual fund field.

All have been around.  Fidelity is the family of funds I am invested in and Vanguard is a bunch of index funds that follow a particular segment of the market and provide passively managed returns at low cost.  T.Rowe Price is a lot like Fidelity.  All fund families recommended above are no-load funds that do not charge an upfront fee or “Load” to join.

Next start looking at funds that are actively managed vs. looking at passively managed index funds….you are betting on the jockey and not on the horse for performance.  Look at their three, five and ten year returns.  Look at the growth of $10,000.00 over a ten year period.  And finally, look at their Morningstar or Lipper Ranking and how the fund is rated by these two non-profit organizations.

 The outlook for the economy over the next 3-5 years looks good after we get over this final hump of the recession.  Now is the time to SLOWLY and PRUDENTLY rearrange your portfolio to take advantage of the next up trend in the market.  And don’t forget to allocate a small portion of your monies to alternate investments such as futures, stock options and low risk Forex currency accounts.  Emerging Markets and International Investments should do well as the over all world economy improves too.

 Use any website you like to track your mutual funds:  Fund family websites and MarketWatch are the best to research and track fund performance.

 With Fidelity, try looking at FLPSX, FCNTX, FDVLX. And also look at Third Avenue Value (TAVFX) as an alternate or addition to FDVLX.  I have been in these funds since 2001 and averaged 11.36% annual returns up until late 2007.

Columbus, GA (Vocus) April 28, 2010

The United States already has a Value Added Tax (VAT) or something very close to it, according to an op-ed piece distributed this week to daily and weekly newspapers across the country. It?s called SCHIP, according to Chris McCalla, legislative director of the association which represents some 2,000 tobacconists nationwide.

McCalla was referring to the controversial European VAT which is being considered for application in the United States on top of other sales taxes and that SCHIP is similarly applied. McCalla explained that SCHIP ? the State Children?s Health Insurance Program ? is the equivalent of a VAT.

?A VAT by any other name is still a VAT and, whether we like it or not (we don?t), the U.S. is already using a VAT-like tax under the guise of SCHIP which was originally enacted by Congress in 1997 and substantially expanded in early 2009,? said McCalla.

?SCHIP is ? funded entirely by tobacco taxes. The tobacco industry ? including members of (IPCPR) ? has always been in favor of healthcare insurance for children, but for its funding to rely solely on the declining base of tobacco federal excise taxes doesn?t make any sense. Healthcare costs go up and tax receipts go down because fewer people can afford the heavily taxed tobacco products or they find ways to avoid paying any tobacco taxes at all. Add a so-called VAT and it makes even less sense.?

He added that VAT is a misnomer. Instead, ?it should be called ?an excuse to collect a hidden federal sales tax on products every step of the way ? from providers of parts and components to manufacturers to wholesalers and retailers.?

?Manufacturers of hand-made cigars, for example, pay the tax when they sell their premium cigars and pipe tobaccos to retail tobacconists. Then, in most cases, the retailers pay to their state governments a state excise tax on those same tobacco products except that the state excise tax is on the cost of the product including the full amount of the federal SCHIP tax. That?s what?s happening now: Our members pay state taxes on top of federal taxes, not just one in addition to another. VAT would compound that once again. And, don?t forget state and local sales taxes on top of all that!? he said.

McCalla reminded readers that current sales taxes are only applied when the consumer makes a purchase.

?As it is now, when a manufacturer sells products to a distributor and when the distributor sells his products to a retailer, there is no tax levied or paid, federal or state, except for excise taxes such as on tobacco. State and local sales taxes are levied when the products are sold to the consumer ? you and me.

?Remember, a VAT is a hidden federal sales tax which will be imposed on that same product and its component parts, every step of the way ? from parts suppliers to manufacturers to wholesalers to distributors to retailers, including when it is sold to you and me when the state and local sales taxes are added on top of it all. It?s a tax on a tax on a tax on a? well, you get the idea.

According to McCalla, either way ?we?re screwed. Paying taxes on taxes and compounding them with more taxes is what it VAT all about. It will be the end of many businesses ? not just smoke shops and cigar bars. It will mean the loss of many jobs, and it will create pricing of products that will put them out of the reach of many consumers ? including you and me.?

McCalla recommended that all U.S. voters ? smokers and non-smokers alike ? should ?become knowledgeable about SCHIP and VAT and, indeed, our nation?s entire system of federal and state taxation and let their elected representatives know how they feel.?

Smart investing includes risk management; however, most people focus on how much money they can make without paying attention to strategically analyzing risk.  It is important for an investor to fully understand the concept of risk before embarking on an investment plan and to implement certain safeguards to ensure their success rate is increased.

In investment terms, risk is associated with the end of period value of the investment and the primary concern for any investor is a reduction in value of the original sum invested.  There is no way of completely eliminating financial risk, even with the placement of assets in a bank account, therefore, a strategic investment plan should incorporate risk reduction techniques that have proven to create a greater opportunity of coming out ahead.

The most frequent techniques for reducing risk in investment are diversification, dollar cost averaging and time, and in order to better understand these areas we will expand upon their meaning and how they can be implemented.

Diversification

Diversification in finance mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio and can include investing in different markets, regions or countries.  Diversification is a frequent practice of investment managers to reduce risk without substantial reduction in returns.

Diversification reduces risk because markets do not always move in tandem and many financial instruments will react differently to market conditions.  A balanced portfolio will be less volatile than one that is concentrated on a single asset and can include the following strategies:

1)      Spread the portfolio among multiple investment vehicles.

2)      Vary the risk in securities.

3)      Vary by industry or geographical location.

4)      Vary the investment managers and the strategies used by those managers.

Dollar Cost Averaging

It is an investor’s dream to be able to enter the market at its bottom but nobody can really tell when a market has ever reached this point.  In reality, we will often see people get caught at the top of the market instead of buying low and selling high.

Dollar cost averaging is a timing strategy of investing equal dollar amounts regularly and periodically over specific time periods and is a technique that prevents investors from putting all their money in the market at the inappropriate time. 

Time as a Risk Moderator

Time not only works for investors through the power of compounding but also helps to dampen the risk of investments.  If we look at most major markets, we will see that the stock market will usually follow an upward trend with interim fluctuations.  By focusing strategies on a long term basis, many of these fluctuations can be leveled in comparison to the overall performance as recoveries happen and markets will often surpass a previous high.  It is worth noting that there is no specific formula for time as a risk moderator and indefinite waiting periods could be considered when implementing.

For any investor, the primary step in the formulation of a successful strategy should be the setting of an investment objective.  Although “to make money” may be a fair representation of your goal, it does not focus on the strategic process that needs to take place in order to achieve what we have originally set out to do.  The investment objective must be realistic and specific and should take into account the risk tolerance, personal needs and circumstance and any constraints that the investor may have.

It is recommended that every potential investor carries out a financial needs analysis.  Many companies are available to help with this and provide the direction and equipment needed to carry out a proper analysis and most should carry this important service out free of charge.  It is also vital that any company that assists a potential investor with their strategy should describe these risk reduction techniques in greater detail and explain the ways in which they can be incorporated into an investment plan.

The success of any business depends upon the choice of the commercial leasing type. It is one of the very important aspects. Choosing a lease is a critical decision for any business owner. It is responsible for hitting the right audience market. A company, who takes the option for commercial leasing must consider the advantages of having it.

Now when you have thought of it, it is crucial to understand, practically and legally speaking, the oceanic depth of commercial leasing. These are long- term bindings. There are few points that you should know about any lease. These are:-

4. Option to renew the lease
5. Additional payments including taxes, utilities and maintenance.
6. Maintenance of the premises
7. What is the process for lease termination, if circumstances force?
8. Are there any disputes?

The next big thing that comes into picture is the commercial lease agreement for used medical equipments. It is a thorough written document (a legally one) between a Lessor of a property and a Lessee. A Lessor is the owner and Lessee is the one who want to have temporary possession for a certain period of time in exchange for money paid. A store, office, industrial and commercial buildings are covered under this. It has no pre-defined form. It all depends upon the Lessor on what terms and conditions, he wants to put the lease in front of the lessee.

There are few common fields of any commercial leasing agreement:-

1. The address of the property.
2. Start and termination dates of the lease.
3. Signatures and names of all parties involved.
4. Mode of payment (installments, if any).
5. Lease amount.
6. Provision of lease renewal of the lease.

These leases are made in such a way that the obligations, rules and conditions are followed by both the parties. It is a contract that makes

1. Lessee to pay the lease amount on time
2. Lessor to allow changes in the leased item.
3. Lessor and Lessee to understand and follow the conditions related to the lease.
4. Complete details of the both parties.
5. Important dates related to the lease.

The agreement should be efficiently and skillfully made. If it is agreed upon by the two parties involved. There is hardly any chance of having legal problems. The implementation will be successful.

Albany, NY (PRWEB) January 18, 2012

PipesandCigars.com has been bringing smokers all over the world the best cigars on the market for over 17 years. Cigar Aficionado Magazine is the cigar industry’s leading authority, providing cigar lovers with ratings and rankings of cigars from all over the world as well as commentary surrounding the entire cigar lifestyle. Each year the magazine produces a list of the 25 best cigars of the year, and the list is eagerly awaited by smokers everywhere. The full list was revealed on January 9, 2012, and to coincide with the release, PipesandCigars.com has assembled a new item which will allow customers to sample 10 of the cigars selected to the list.

“The release of Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list is always an exciting time for our industry,” said Travis Lord, Marketing Director of PipesandCigars.com. “Being selected to this exclusive list is quite an honor for each of the cigars. There is an enormous amount of smoking experience and expertise that goes into narrowing down the thousands of premium cigars to a list of the 25 best. However, as is to be expected, they often pick cigars that are expensive and/or very rare. What I wanted to do was ensure that customers could sample the selected cigars without having to make an expensive full-box purchase, and also ensure that they have access to cigars that aren’t always available online or at their local cigar shop.”

Due to the limited availability of some cigars on the list, PipesandCigars.com is only making 50 sample packs available for the initial offering. However, the company expects to have the item consistently in stock after the increased demand caused by the list release subsides. Since the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 list also features Cuban cigars that are illegal in the United States and some cigars that are currently out of stock from the manufacturers, PipesandCigars used the top 10 available cigars selected to comprise this unique sampler pack item. It includes the #1 ranked Alec Bradley Prensado Churchill as well as selections from La Aroma de Cuba, Illusione, Ashton, Rocky Patel, Arturo Fuente, and many more prestigious cigars. The 10-pack carries an MSRP value of $ 110.00, however PipesandCigars.com will be offering them at the discounted sale price of $ 89.95.

About PipesandCigars.com: PipesandCigars.com is an industry-leading online tobacconist dedicated to bringing customers the widest selection of cigars, pipes, pipe tobacco and tobacco accessories.

If you’ve though about buying gold bars lately, you’re far from alone. Investing in precious metals such as gold bullion and silver bullion is the smart investment of choice for savvy investors worried about the value of their traditional investments.

With the economy in a tailspin the threat of inflation looming down the line, the thought of one’s savings being eroded is a frightening one. When the world becomes a more uncertain place, there’s a need to hold ones wealth in tangible assets such as precious metals. Currencies have come and gone over millennia but gold and silver are as much solid measures of value today as they were in Roman times.

In a word, gold in today’s economy represents security. With governments creating money out of thin air to fund deficits, the future value of our currencies is at risk. Gold, on the other hand, retains its buying power over time. It also has intrinsic value and has no counter party risk. This means that whatever happens to the financial system, gold will retain its value throughout the world.

You can invest in gold in a slew of ways – everything from buying mining stocks to gold coins. But for sheer economic efficiency, nothing beat buying gold bars and keeping them yourself. Gold jewellery and coins both have significant mark ups on the gold price to cover craftsmanship. Also for jewellery and some coins, the purity of the gold content may need to be assayed before it can be sold. This makes the items less liquid.

Gold bullion, on the other hand, is the most guaranteed and thus most liquid form of gold. Once you buy gold bars, you have an investment that will withstand the ravages of inflation and bring unequalled value to your portfolio.

When it comes to acquiring bullion bars for investment, you can also choose silver bullion. Many investment pundits agree that silver is ready for a boom of its own. This means that adding silver bullion bars to your portfolio is a smart move.

Silver shares many of gold’s desirable characteristics – it’s durable, divisible, malleable, ductile and attractive. Silver jewellery is second only to gold in popularity. However one way in which silver differs from gold is in its industrial and medical applications. This is due to its unique electrical and thermal conductivity, its reflective properties, and its ability to withstand extremes of temperature.

To give just one example, almost all electrical switches, from batteries to computer circuit boards, now use silver-based solder. This means production of all iPods, microwaves, laptops, and you name it, need silver. Almost half the world’s annual silver output is taken up by the electronics industry.

It’s important to remember that precious metals used this way are gone forever. In fact it’s estimated that over 95% of all the silver ever mined throughout history has already been consumed by industry. What all this means is that there will be a continuing increase in demand for silver while the supply is limited – all the conditions you need for a continual rise in price.

This means you have the option of diversifying your investment portfolio even further by adding silver bars. As the price of silver is far lower than gold at the moment, you can get into the silver market with a minimal investment.

You can buy pure .999 fine silver bullion in a range of sizes including 100 gram, 250 gram, 500 gram, one kilo or 5 kilo silver bullion bars

The fact is that where gold goes, silver always follows. It’s logical, really, that two precious metals that share so many characteristics should move in tandem. Buying gold and silver bullion means your investments are safe whatever governments do.

Gold and silver are precious metals that have never lost their luster though they’ve been around since ancient times. And they’ve never been more relevant than in today’s world of exotic financial instruments and quantitative easing.

If you’ve decided to join the savvy investors and buy gold and silver bullion, the smartest way to do it in the UK is through online dealers who deliver you purchases via insured Royal Mail. You buy at spot prices in real time and your purchase will be delivered the next day.

Gold prices are soaring these years and the interest in learning how to invest in gold has never been higher. That’s why I decided to write this article with the goal of helping people to investing in gold safely and profitably. If you care about the security of you and your family’s savings in the coming years of inflation and economic depression, then you should know about the position of gold as a safe storage of value. I figure, if you are reading this article, then that’s probably what is on your mind.

This article can’t possibly be taken for definitive advice. Rather, it should be seen as an introduction on how to invest in gold.

Gold prices have skyrocketed over the last decade. In fact the rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. One ounce of gold in 2001 was priced at $270, now in November 2009 the same ounce of gold stands at $1170!

In other words, gold prices have gone up 5x times in less than 9 years! That’s a remarkable growth and there are very good reasons for why you should care, if you want to keep your money safe and invested in something profitable for you and your families sake.

Why is the price of gold so important? Regardless of what your bank may be telling you, gold is one of the most important storage of value that we have. Gold has been used as the defacto currency for thousands of years along with silver because of its indestructible qualities and its beauty. Gold is in fact, the only really safe storage of value that has been tested over and over trough time and kept its position.

Fiat currency, i.e. paper money, such as the US Dollar has no inherent value besides the trust that the holder has in the issuer. This trust is rapidly dwindling. The best indicator of this is actually gold price. Gold has historically acted as an anti-dollar indicator. When the US Dollar goes up in price then the price of gold goes down and when the US Dollar goes down in price of gold goes up. What does it then tell you that gold has quadrupled in price since 2001? That’s right; the trust in the US Dollar has plummeted.

It is in fact highly likely that the worst is yet to come. Several economists and politicians such as Congressman Ron Paul and hedge fund owner and financial expert Peter Schiff (both frequent guests on television), predict that the dollar will ultimately collapse as a result of years of irresponsible spending and monetary policy of the US government and Federal Reserve. But all this is far into the future, right? Wrong! The popular expression used by economics is ‘the long run’; well guess what, the long run has finally arrived. The US Dollar may not exist in as little as 5 years. That’s a very real possibility, but one that the government and particularly the FED does everything they can to suppress to the public. Like the band playing at Titanic, they are determined to go down with the ship.

If you don’t want to be forced to exchange your then worthless US Dollars into the new Amero (picture below, this is a real currency ready to replace the dollar), at 100 to 1, then you should look into stocking up on gold. I hope this website can serve to help guide you in the right direction. Take a look at the links in the left sidebar for more info. Again, if you are ready to invest in gold now, and want to learn how to both profit and keep your savings from the future, then I highly recommend you get Doug Eberhardts book ‘Buying Gold Safely’, it’s very much worth the pricetag, trust me, you will be way ahead of what any 22 year old – fresh out of college – bank advisor can tell you.

Sensex Nifty are more often interpreted collectively with different market records, as both indices are the roots of the Indian stock market. Representing the BSE and NSE respectively, Sensex Nifty mirror the value of a company in the active share market. A group of 30 companies marks Sensex India whereas Nifty exhibits the performance of 50 companies. If you read or listen to any Sensex news, Nifty news automatically follows, as the Indian market is incomplete without the figures displayed at these two stock exchange bases. Given the high volatility of the Indian share market represented by the Sensex Nifty, the laymen may find it difficult to understand the fluctuating nature. With expertise, this drawback can be negated.

You can get a complete picture of the performance of some of the big companies in India in the Sensex index. As an investor, you can stay informed about the rise and fall of stock prices by watching either Sensex news or the Sensex index. Making intelligent assessments and acting consequently is a sure shot to success in the stock market. The BSE has over 6000 companies in its listing, the greatest number in the world. With its 134 plus years of market presence and given its breakthrough role in the formation of the Indian capital market, BSE is the base you can stick to for trading. Sensex India has come a long way and the era of the Indian stock market is calculated from the day of the founding of the BSE. Any investment involves the risk factor and the BSE is no exception. Similar is the case of NSE. Stay updated with the latest performance of the Sensex Nifty to experience a winning rim.

Market fluctuation is obvious in the Indian share market, and if you are finely tuned to investment strategies, you will definitely gain. Many investment and stock broking platforms like Reuters India provide effective advices and quotes including the A-Z of the performance of Indian markets and world markets.
