Information Brokerage in Financial Services / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Elite_E_Services
This article is largely a response and elaboration on an excellent point made by Nadeem Walayat of Market Oracle about the ‘reason why 90% of traders lose’. Largely, trading is an information brokerage business. Data collection, storage (classification and identification), and analysis, is the process of decision making of any trade. Data can be price data, economic data, or other data, used to determine trades, with an expectation of future profit.

By: J_W_Jones
For most equity traders, the S&P and/or the Dow are watched quite closely. While these indices are usually just as important to option traders, the volatility index is generally closely monitored as well.

10 Financial Scams For Investors to be on Guard Against / InvestorEducation / Scams
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes:When Peter Allen and Carole Bayer Sager wrote the tune "Everything Old Is New Again," they were probably hoping for no more than a Top 40 hit.

The Stealth Greek Of Options Trading: Vega / InvestorEducation / Options & Warrants
By: J_W_Jones
In my previous missives on the Greeks of the option world, we have spent most of our time focusing on Theta and Delta. In the real world of option trading, option prices are the subjects of three primal forces: price of the underlying, time to expiration, and implied volatility. Delta and theta address the first of these two primal forces. The third primal force, implied volatility, is by far the least known by newcomers to the option trading world. However, while it is usually not respected or even known by many new to trading options, it typically is the most frequently unrecognized force resulting in is the cause for significant trading capital deterioration.

By: J_W_Jones
While future articles will return to focusing on the option Greeks, a recent comment regarding risk really piqued my interest. The age old discussion about risk versus reward, equities versus options, and the fundamental difference between Nassim Taleb’s “Black Swan” risk and what most people perceive as ordinary risk.

The Ultimate Way to Protect Your Money from Wall Street Scams / InvestorEducation / Dividends
By: DailyWealth
Dr. David Eifrig writes: "Dividends don't lie."
It's one of my favorite Wall Street sayings. Accountants can mess with a company's books in all kinds of ways, but they can't fake a cash payment. And if a company can pay a dividend, it's almost always making money.

By: Money_Morning

Cruise Control Hedging: The Basics of Investing / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Steve_Selengut
Most people enter the investment arena thinking that "Risk" is a board game they played in college. Today, I would guess that the majority of investors have never owned an individual share of common stock or a Municipal Bond.
The popularity of investment products has heightened the risk for all investors and has indirectly led to many of the policy errors that threaten both capitalism and the economic fabric of America. Market prices are increasingly and inappropriately influenced by decision-making based only on the derivatives that contain them.

Ten Risk Minimization Strategies / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Steve_Selengut
In the recent financial crisis, a very small percentage of (I bought my house to live in) homeowners stopped paying on their mortgages. Still, the hysteria over the bursting housing bubble (i.e., lower market values) led to financial institution road-kill because of ridiculous accounting rules.
When the dot-come bubble destroyed "new economy" gladiators in a gory spectacle destined to repeat itself over time, what investment portfolios cheered unscathed from the coliseum bleachers?

Risk, The Essence Of Investing / InvestorEducation / Risk Analysis
By: Steve_Selengut
Most investors incorrectly think of "risk" as the possibility that the market value of a financial asset might fall below the amount that he or she has invested in the asset. OMG, how could this be happening!
Think about it. The harboring of these misconceptions (that lower market price = loss or bad and/or that higher market price = profit or good) is the greatest risk creator of all. It invariably causes inappropriate actions within the large mass of individuals who are uninitiated in the ways of the investment gods.
