The other day I received an email from a neighbor asking me to purchase a raffle ticket; it was a fundraiser for a major political party. I responded as follows:
Please remove me from any mailings, etc. that are anything ____________ (party name) related. Thank you.
Oh, by the way I hit reply to all. Now about 50 people knew my party affiliation – as if it was a shock.
Her response to me was “that was not very nice.”
Not very nice I thought? It said please. It said thank you. It was specific as to what type of information I no longer wish to receive. I thought it was direct, clear and concise. What is she whining about?
My response: “What wasn’t nice about my response? I do not think it is nice that you just add me to an email list for all to see; and the
only emails I ever get from you are politically motivated and asking for money.”
She responded with an apology (I’m Sorry with an exclamation point) and questioned if she was now being removed from the guest list for my “After the Holidays Party” each January.
From that exchange of words, I received two private emails from the original list applauding me for my response; and one scolding me for my behavior. So based on that random sample and my memory of statistics and higher mathematics; two-thirds of the list agrees with my position and hates receiving such emails. Or three people need their opinion to be heard? Leggi il seguito di questo post »

“Life’s most urgent question is, ‘what are you doing for others?’”

How many times have you been involved in a project where a newly-released piece of software required an immediate enhancement because the right people were not “in the loop”? This is an example of how poor communication costs money and damages the reputation of an Information Technology (IT) Team.

1. Commodity Option Trading Introduction
What Are Commodity Options?
An option is a contract that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to either go long or go short the underlying futures contract at a pre-determined entry price on or before a specific date. It lets you take advantage of price moves in the futures markets without actually having a futures position.
There are two types of options, Call options and Put options.
The Call option gives you the right, but not the obligation, to go long the underlying commodity futures contract at a pre-specified entry price on or before a specific date. You would buy a Call option when you believe the futures price will increase.
A Put option gives you the right, but not the obligation, to go short the underlying commodity futures contract at a pre-specified entry price on or before a specific date. A Put option is used when you believe the futures price will decrease. Leggi il seguito di questo post »

Prepare to be shocked.
When you discover the biggest stock market secret of all, it could undermine everything you believe about trading in stocks. It could also completely turn your trading around by removing the “gambling” element almost entirely, and turning your losses into profits overnight.
Whether you’re currently an active investor or not, you’ll know the basics of how most people play the stock market. It can be summed up in two words.
Buy. Pray.
You might laugh, but you know it’s true!
They get a ‘hot tip’ from a newspaper, a tip sheet, a guy in a bar, wherever, and they go ahead and buy the stock. Then, they wait and hope and pray that it goes up, and IF it does, they sell and collect a profit.
It’s not exactly what you’d call a strategy, now is it?
There are, of course, a lot of traders out there who are using much cleverer strategies than “Buy and Pray”. They might use charts and technical analysis and work their trades on moving averages, Fibonacci lines, Bollinger bands and so on. They might go short occasionally to profit from an expected downward move, but the “gambling” element is still there – decide which direction the stock is likely to move in, and take a position on that basis.
