Start Trading: Throw Those Excuses Out The Window By John Forman

People make all kinds of excuses as to why they cannot get involved in investing or trading the financial markets. In this article, some of the most prominent are debunked.

'I don’t have time'

Despite being one of the most frequently heard, this is probably the most pathetic excuse for not trading there is. Why? Because the availability of technology and information in the modern day means that we can operate in literally any time frame we want. Many people, when they hear “trading”, think it means sitting in front of the computer all day. While that certainly is one form of trading, most of us do not have the schedule to allow us to dedicate hours each day to monitoring the markets. The good news is that we don’t have to in order to trade effectively.

I will use myself as an example. My college coaching position has me frequently in the gym, in meetings, and on the road. What’s more, I run a club program and a couple of businesses on the side. In 2004, even though there were long periods when I did not trade at all, and I probably only put on a dozen total positions all year, I was still able to make 200%+ in the stock market. If I can trade given my schedule, and have performance like that, anyone can.

'I don’t have the money'

In the past, this was a pretty viable excuse for not trading. These days, though, one can trade with relatively little money. Transaction costs have dropped dramatically over the last decade and there are more trading options than ever before. There is one particular trading platform which allows an individual to put on trades of at little as $1 in value, and they have no minimum account size requirement.

Is it better to have more money? Absolutely. The more capital you have at your disposal, the better are your available options and the more actual money you can make in raw dollar terms.

Having more money is not always a good thing, though. For the inexperienced trader, it is better to have only a little money at risk. Why? It is the same as anything else. Just like anyone new to a skill make mistakes as they are learning, so do new traders. And just as a coach would not willingly throw a new player in to a championship game against experienced opponents, neither should those new to the markets to take on large trades and put significant portions of their assets at risk. It’s common sense. Better to make the inevitable mistakes when there is relatively little at risk.

'It’s too risky'

Trading is only as risky as you make it. If you take risky trades, then trading is risky. If you don’t, then it isn’t. There will always be the risk of losing money on a trade. That is completely unavoidable. But that could be said about all of life.

Driving is one of the most risky things in the modern world, but we still do it. We reduce the risk by obeying traffic rules, planning our route, wearing seatbelts, paying attention, and all that. Does that completely eliminate the risk that of ending up in an accident? No, it doesn’t. Nor does it necessarily keep us out of traffic jams or from getting lost. We understand the risks, though, and weigh them against our need to get places in a timely fashion.

Trading is the same. We do it because it helps get us where we want to go, in this case financially. There are going to be hiccups along the way, but if we are focused and conscientious, we can minimize the risks, and potentially the damage an unfortunately turn inflicts, and remain on course.

'It’s too complicated'

Technology and competition have combined to make trading so much easier than it has ever been before. All it takes is a couple of clicks and you can execute a trade, check your positions, get news, and anything else you need to do. The fact that you are reading this article says you have all the basic skills necessary to trade or invest.

Can trading be complex? Sure it can. There are those in the markets who use complicated software, mathematical algorithms, even artificial intelligence. None of that is necessary, though. Some of the best traders use little more than price quotes or a simple bar chart. How intricate you get is strictly a matter of personal preference, not necessity.

Is there a learning curve? You bet. Trading is like anything else. There are things you need to know. The good thing, though, is that there are loads of resources out there to help you learn.

Home And Contents Insurance. Poor Maintenance Can Invalidate Your Cover. By Michael Challiner

Most home and contents insurance claims proceed smoothly, except perhaps for occasional disagreements about how much something was worth. But another re-occurring difficulty is where damage is due to poor building maintenance. The homeowner has a duty of care and the insurers take a dim view of claims that the homeowner could, and should have, avoided. AS a result insurers may scale down or even reject your claim.

To avoid such problems you should give your house an annual Maintenance MOT. A springtime check would be good. By carrying out just a few simple checks, it should be possible to find problems at an early stage.

Rain, wind, snow and frost place some of the biggest day-to-day strains on the structure of your home. Consequently, most homes develop a few problems in the autumn and winter months, so a springtime check can save much time and expense further down the line.

It's not as if you'll be paying money that you could claim later on an insurance claim. Indeed, any costs you claim that were really a maintenance issue, will be rejected by your insurance company.

Here's our 10 point springtime MOT for your home:

• Clean out the gutters. Autumn can be especially hard on gutters as lots of debris can accumulate. That must be removed. Blocked gutters and down spouts can quickly cause enormous damage if water is left to overflow and penetrate the structure. But please be careful with this job. Working up ladders is dangerous so why not get your window cleaner to do the job!

• Now get your binoculars out and check the roof. Search for cracked, loose or slipped tiles. A leaking roof can result in costly damage. Ceiling damage, rot, redecoration can quickly swallow up money. Then there's the a safety issue. If a tile slips off, someone could be badly injured. Even your car could take a direct hit!

• Check out your exterior paintwork. Any cracked, peeling, or blistered paintwork needs attention. Touch it up to preserve the wood from damage. Summer time can be surprisingly hard on paintwork. High temperatures and big temperature changes create expansion and contraction cracks ready to let in the following winter to do its worst.

• If you've heavily used an open fire during the winter, get the chimney swept. Heavy build-ups of soot can easily catch fire and during the summer the soot absorbs damp.

• Take a walk around the house and make sure that nothing is covering over the damp course. Pilled up garden rubbish is the most common offender. Grass cuttings are not your home's best friend! If damp gets past the damp course your walls inside will get damp resulting in damaged to plasterwork decoration. Over time, rot will set in.

• When you are planting shrubs and trees you need to ensure that their roots are not going to cause future damage. If roots penetrate your drains or get into your foundations you're in for horrendous bills. Willow and Popular trees are some of the worst offenders. Are you aware that you shouldn't have a Popular tree within 150 feet of your property? If a new house is built within this distance, it has to have specially reinforced foundations!

• Whilst on the subject of trees, you probably think that your buildings insurance will cover damage caused by falling trees. Yes they will - if the tree was well maintained. But what happens if the tree was rotten or already damaged? Yep, you've guessed it, that's a maintenance issue. You're liable! Unless you can show that you took reasonable care of the trees, the insurer can refuse any subsequent claim. If have big trees you could have big problems. You are advised to get an annual report from a tree surgeon detailing any work that is needed – and don't forget to carry it out and keep the paperwork! Such action demonstrates that you have taken due care and therefore, any related claim will be accepted.

• Do you have any climbing plants on the house? Check out that they haven't caused damage to your brickwork or render. Ivy is the biggest offender. And never let climbing plants get onto your roof – that's a recipe for disaster!

• Now go inside your house. Remember to have your central heating boiler serviced – it's been a hard winter! And get its carbon monoxide emissions checked. Whilst the engineer's there, also get him to give your radiators the once over.

• Finally, up into the loft. Check for signs of leaks and rodent damage to the wiring. Squirrels love warm lofts and they love the insulation around wiring! The fire brigade hate squirrels! And a dirty job. Whilst you there, remove any old bird or wasp nests and block up the openings.

Take these steps and you're unlikely to run into a problem with any structural insurance claim. Your home will also love you!

Using Mortgage Calculators - Don't Bother Doing The Math By Felicity Walker

When it comes to taking out a home loan, the numbers are important. You need to know how much money you have for a down payment, how much you're earning, and how much you can afford to pay in repayments. It's enough to drive you crazy, even with a good pocket calculator! That's where mortgage calculators can be incredibly useful. They can take all the figures you have and turn them into outcomes. You can change one variable (eg size of down payment) and know what effect that will have on your repayment. And a mortgage calculator can do it in the blink of an eye.

Like most things to do with home loans, though, it's not as simple as one mortgage calculator that does one type of calculation. Instead there are numerous different types of mortgage calculators, and some which combine more than one feature. So it helps to know what exactly you want to mortgage calculator to calculate, so you can choose the right one.

Affordability calculator - this type of mortgage calculator basically determines what you can afford. This is based on your current income and expenses. Quite often with this type of calculator you can alter the amount of down payment you will be contributing, and see the effect it has on affordability. Sometimes, if you're a bit close to the wire, putting in slightly more down payment will be enough to make the loan affordable.

Consolidating debt - these calculators look at the various options you have when consolidating debt, and how that will affect your home loan. These options could include: merging non-mortgage debt (i.e. credit cards) into your existing mortgage, refinancing and existing mortgage and paying out a couple of extra debts at the same time, or perhaps a situation where you have both a first and second mortgage on a property and you want to work out the cheapest method of paying the loans out.

Payment calculator - basically, this mortgage calculator works out your monthly payment on a loan. You can use this to determine what effect a change in interest rates might have on your payment, whether you would be paying more or less if you swapped to a fixed rate loan, whether paying fortnightly will make a difference, and so on.

Additional Payment calculator - mostly this is used for determining the effect of a one time lump sum payment, but can also be used to work out the effect of a regular extra payment, say $100 a month. You can adjust almost anything, including amounts, frequency of additional payments and interest rates.

Refinance calculator - this mortgage calculator is mostly used for comparing different mortgages to determine whether refinancing will save you money. This particularly works well if you have more than one mortgage and want to merge them. You can also factor in things like refinancing costs, for example what it will cost to pay out your existing loan. If those costs are very high, it may not be worthwhile refinancing at all.

Amortization calculator - there are two types of amortization mortgage calculators. One works out the savings a borrower makes on his tax based on the interest paid, and the other determines the appreciation of the mortgaged property.

Comparison calculator - this one is handy is you have two very similar mortgages to choose between. Usually you can change different elements of each loan, such as interest rates or payment details, to see the effect. Mostly mortgage brokers use this type of mortgage calculator when making their recommendations.

This is only the tip of the iceberg! There are mortgage calculators for almost anything you can think of in regards to a home loan, but the ones above are certainly the most common. If you visit any of the big lending companies online, such as Freddie Mac or Fannie May, you will be able to visit their interactive pages and do your calculations online. Some other sites even allow you to download a mortgage calculator for free.

The important thing is to let a mortgage calculator do the work for you. There's no point spending hours slaving over your calculator or setting up a spreadsheet, when an online mortgage calculator can do the same thing in seconds.

Best Car Loan Rate - Finding Cheap Rates Online By Carrie Reeder

There are many ways to find the lowest car rate online. Today, many lenders offer car loans for all credit types. Because of this, many smart buyers are shopping around for the lowest rate before accepting an auto loan offer. Having good credit makes it a little easier to secure low rate financing. On the other hand, if you have a low credit score, it may take a bit more effort on your part to find the cheapest rate.

What Contributes to a Low Rate Auto Loan?

Aside from comparing quotes from various lenders, other factors make obtaining a low rate possible. For starters, individuals with a strong credit history are more likely to receive offers with low rates. Never underestimate the importance of establishing and maintaining a good payment history with creditors. By following a few simple rules, you can easily boost your three digit credit score.

If you are determined to get a low rate auto loan, make sure that all creditors receive payments on time. Skipped or missed payments will decrease your credit score by a few points. If this becomes a habitual problem, your credit score will suffer.

Moreover, avoid applying for many lines of credits within a short period of time. Credit inquiries are equally damaging. Lastly, reduce debts. Having too much debt can actually decrease your credit score. Additionally, it counts against your debt-to-income ratio, which may make it difficult to qualify for a more expensive vehicle.

Use an Online Auto Loan Broker

To find the cheapest auto loan rate, you must be willing to search for them. Several lenders advertise low rate auto loans. These loans are generally reserved for individuals with superb credit ratings. However, it is possible to get a good rate with perfect, fair, even bad credit.

Auto loan brokers provide a valuable service. If you are having trouble finding a good lender, think about using a broker. Brokers have dealings with many lenders and are familiar with various loans. Additionally, brokers provide a unique service by matching you with up to four different lenders. This is great for comparing and contrasting different offers.

Are Loans Right For You? By Jim Grayson

Here is my opinion on loans. It is not the opinion of whom we call 'expert financial advisers' or 'debt consultants' but for many, it is an opinion of the simple truth. The truth about loans is that you should not need one. If you do need a loan, you are not on the right path in life. Debt is not a good feeling. People get loans in desperation or greed or lack of sensibility. If you cannot afford something that you feel you need or want, then you should not want those things, you should want more money. However, you should not want to borrow money, you should be concentrating on how you make that money for yourself.

Now, many will agree there are a very few loans that are actually worth getting. For instance, student loans are actually going towards a very productive, positive, worthwhile cause. It is true that over 50% of student loans end up being wasted by the student instead of being used to better educate themselves. But the ones that do use a student loan to ultimately get what they want in life are the ones that deserve the loan and can handle the debt. An example of a horrible loan to get is a payday loan. If you cannot support yourself between paychecks and cannot save up enough money to use for emergencies, than you should not be getting a loan. Instead of getting a loan you should be concentrating on making more money, and let your 'injustices' or 'sufferings' propel you towards a better income and financial stability.

If you work for, own or otherwise are affiliated with a bank or other type of financial institute that makes their money off of interest paid to them by people borrowing money, than please let me give you some praise. About 1% of the population makes roughly 96% of all the money. This is no accident either. Parts of that 1% are financial institutes that I have mentioned and slightly demeaned. Just give yourself a pat on the back, you made so much money that you are now able to make even more money by lending all the money you made to people who lack the mind set to create wealth on their own.

Money makes the world go around, the question is; who's going to make the money?

Both of your fortunes and misfortunes in life were created, manifested and overcome by you.

Car Insurance. Optional Legal Expense Cover Is Well Worth The Extra. By Michael Challiner

Peter, our freelance journalists doesn't take kindly to people driving into his beloved car. No, he doesn't use his fourteen stone of gym-honed muscle to exact retribution nor is he into road rage. Of course he's got his car comprehensively insured but he's also covered another way. He's got legal insurance. He included in his car insurance as an optional extra. This extra cover allows him to claim for costs and losses excluded covered from normal comprehensive and third party policies. So four months ago when his car was whacked from behind at the traffic lights, the legal profession swung into action! Not for free you understand, after all who's heard of a solicitor labouring for free? No, but it was free to Peter – his insurance company paid all his legal costs.

Whilst the garage appointed by his insurer made a beautiful job repairing his bent MX5, his comprehensive policy didn't normally cover claims for personal injury or loss of earnings. So the extra £2 a month Peter forked out for legal expense cover, became money well spent. He's already received compensation for the broken wrist he suffered and negotiations for his loss of earnings are well advanced. One-handed journalists aren't much use in our office so he took a month off!

Legal expense insurance assists policyholders to claim back losses and compensation where the accident wasn't their fault. The losses can include the cost of hiring a replacement car whilst yours is in the garage and, for those not comprehensively insured, the costs of having your car repaired. As in Peter's case, legal expense insurance will also fund claims for personal injury and loss of earnings.

Cover for legal expense is one of those insurances that's under rated until it's called on. The insurer will run the claim for you and sends the settlement cheque at the end of the process. All you have to do is record the facts on the legal expense claim form, speak to the solicitor nominated by your insurer, be prepared to answer a few follow-up questions, and sit back. If the case goes to court, they'll represent you and fight your corner – although you may also have to attend.

Most car insurance policies sold on the Internet don't automatically include legal expense cover – it's normally an optional extra. That's because price competition on the net is so fierce that the insurers prefer to keep their headline premiums down as low as possible.

You'll find that the optional cost of legal expense cover does vary from insurer to insurer. For example, More Than comes in at £17.85 per year, Direct Line £19.95, Churchill £21 and Budget £24 per year. Just a few insurance companies such as Admiral, include some legal expense cover for free.

So make sure you don't forget legal expense cover when you buy car insurance. Complicated claims for compensation can drag on your years especially if severe injury is involved, and final settlements can end up in millions.

Home Equity Line Of Credit - How To Benefit The Most From A Home Equity Line Of Credit By Carrie Reeder

The options for tapping into your home equity are numerous. Some homeowners choose to refinance, while others take advantage of home equity loans. A home equity line of credit is a great option for homeowners who want access to their home's equity over a length of time. There are benefits to a home equity line of credit. However, to avoid the pitfalls of these types of loan, consider the following.

What are Home Equity Lines of Credit?

Home equity lines of credit are revolving credit accounts that are protected by your home. The term revolving credit is often associated with high interest credit cards. However, lines of credit differ from credit cards. For starters, lines of credit are easier to qualify for. The interest rates are significantly lower than most credit cards, and home equity lines of credit are tax deductible.

Common Uses of a Home Equity Loan

Home equity loans are often obtained for large expenses. These are best used for financing home improvement projects, debt consolidation, paying for a child's college expenses, etc. Additionally, some homeowners obtain home equity lines of credit as a means of having a cash reserve in the event of an emergency.

Pros and Cons of Home Equity Line of Credit

While this home equity option is useful, there are advantages and disadvantages. The benefits surround the ability to payoff high interest credit card debts and other consumer loans.

If using a line of credit for debt consolidation, homeowners will simplify their lives by having a single debt payment, as opposed to several. Furthermore, because of lower rates, homeowners are able to repay a home equity line of credit much sooner.

The disadvantage of home equity lines of credit is that your home serves as collateral for the loan. If for any reason you are unable to repay the loan, the lender may claim your property. This results in losing your home and equity. To avoid foreclosure, borrow a modest amount of money. Also, repay the funds promptly. The problems lies when people think of home equity lines of credit as free money, and begin borrowing and spending frivolously.

How To Find A Home Mortgage Lender By Stu Pearson

Looking for a home loan? In searching for a home loan, there are three providers which you may choose from an officer at a bank, other lending institution or you may turn to a mortgage broker. Whichever provider you choose the end result is just the same and that is you get to have a new house.

Loan officers are actually employees working in a bank, a credit union or lending institution who work to sell and process mortgages and other loans. They offer a wide selection of loan types, but all originate from that specific lender. It is usually the job of the loan officer to take care of the client’s application and look for a specific loan product that would best suit their client’s needs. Once the client get credit approval, the loan officer will then start with the processing of the home purchase transaction.

On the other hand, mortgage brokers are people who match up lenders and borrowers. They are freelance agents, usually working with many different lenders. Mortgage brokers are the scouts of the mortgage industry since they are the ones that search and evaluate home buyers. They also analyze a client’s credit situation in order to find the best lender for that client. An expert mortgage broker is capable of finding various types of lenders to suit diverse types of credit.

A mortgage broker earns by securing a client’s loan and is paid according to the quality of the transaction. For your protection as the client it would be best not to offer any interest rate but rather wait for your mortgage broker to tell you what terms they can secure. And then try to shop around in order for you to make sure that the terms your mortgage broker has given you are reasonable. Also, try to be cautious when searching for mortgages advertised online since most of them are owned by mortgage brokers.

The advantage of hiring an online mortgage broker is that you make yourself available to lenders in other parts of the country who may have better rates than the ones in your hometown. However, there is a drawback to this, since most out of town lenders won’t be familiar with the peculiarities of where you live: local heating systems and septic systems, for example, or the jargon and classifications used by the appraisers in your area. All the above mentioned slows down loans made by an out of town lender.

Local banks are the most common mortgage lenders but not always the preferred choice. They have underwriters that basically understand the local properties and compared to a distant lender will not cause any delay on the processing of loan. Moreover, banks are always much better and faster in closing loans than any mortgage broker working with a lender. However, this is not generally applicable to all banks since there are some banks that really take a long time to process loans. On the other hand, mortgage brokers are capable of finding lenders who will grant loans that a bank would deny, which is especially ideal if ever you have a bad credit history.

The Flaw of Accounts Receivable in Financial Accounting to Non-accountants

The Flaw of Accounts Receivable in Financial Accounting to Non-accountants
In my previous publication, The Unresolved Flaws in Financial Accounting I addressed some of the complex flaws in financial accounting that add to the confusion and frustration non-accountants face in trying to decipher financial reports. This time, I look at accounts receivable.
Accounts receivable is an asset account in a balance sheet. It allows a company to hold revenues and expenses within the period they occur which is a generally accepted accounting principle. This recognizes transactions irrespective of when actual payments take place. What this means is that when a firm sells on account, it considers future payments for its goods and/or services as assets thus increasing revenue.
To a non-accountant investor or stockholder, this recording appears easy to understand on a newly released balance sheet. The truth is that there are other entries that derive from the accounts receivable recording. The net realizable value of this account is the actually amount that the firm expects it will actually receive in payments. Off the back, that means that the amount recorded in accounts receivable though making assets look good will not be actualized. This amount is however an estimate based on previous experiences, trends, and ratios.
The net realizable value creates another account, the allowance for bad debt expense. This account holds the difference between what that actual accounts receivable and the net realizable value. Most firms use an aging method, usually in 30-day blocks to make adjustments to the value of their assets on the balance sheet. These uncollectible payments are described as “contra assets” because they reduce the vale of previously declared assets.
Most non-accountants do not understand the forward and backward entries and adjustments to pages and pages of detail reporting regardless of how many pages of accompanying notes there are. The question becomes, why not subtract the estimated bad debt from the account receivable entry? The problem is that though the firm knows or rightfully estimates that some payments will not be received, it cannot write-off an account unless it specifically knows which accounts will be in default.
The danger with this estimated is that if the allowance for bad debt is under estimates, then accounts receivable and net income will be overstated and returns on investments and equity (ROI and ROE) will be inaccurate. This usually is the case when an entity wants to appear conservative in its estimates of uncollectible debts.
It should be noted that sometimes, companies can sometimes turn accounts receivable into notes receivable. This is a document in which the buyer pledges to pay he outstanding balance based on a prearranged agreement.
Another account that adds to the mix for the non-accountant is the account for cash discounts. These are early payment incentives that companies offer buyers if the buyer makes payment by a certain early date, usually 2%, if paid within10 days of the purchase. Again this means that the accounts receivable will not be fully realized so an account for estimated cash discounts is added to the balance sheet.
As stated earlier, accounts receivable hold revenue and expenses together in the period in which they occurred. Expenses can by their very definition are out going. Accounts receivables are incoming, and net income is the realization of subtracting expenses from revenue. It stands to reason therefore that for a company to have a positive cash flow, be ability to recover on the accounts receivable in vital.
