Home Foreclosure: The People On The Phone

By Doc Schmyz

Home foreclosure is a not the best situation to be in. Once the notices start coming and the phone starts ringing you can't really keep hiding. Your going to hear from lots of people who claim that they can help you. These calls are from organizations that have their own motives and goals. In desperate times even a good sales pitch may sound like a miracle.

There are a number of people who are going to send mail or call. Most likely they were able to get your address or your number from the court system. Due to the legal nature of the process your information will be deemed as public and be published. This means anyone with internet access can find you.

These are the most common people or organizations that are going to give you call:

Swindlers/Con Men/Crooks

These are the ones you have to be aware of. (And there are a lot of them out there.) All of them offer promises and refer you to a chapter 13 attorney for collect a fee. In worse cases, they will take the deed of the house and force you to pay rent while leading you to believe that they can save your home and in the end you loose it all because they do nothing but take your "rent money" and skip town.

This is the most common problem you will face besides the actual foreclosure.

Mortgage brokers

They can help you by refinancing your property. However, these loans may have higher interest rates and closing costs than what you payed at the bank. Some may even charge you more to see how much you are willing to pay and take advantage of it. Not all brokers will do this to you. Shop around and ask family and friends for a referral if you decide to use a broker.

Lawyers

This is your last resort. Most attorneys don't really care about the situation you're in or give you the attention you need.

Mortgage negotiators/Mortgage "Mod gods"

They negotiate repayment schemes with mortgage lenders. You can negotiate with the bank but in case it fails you can ask the help of a professional to get the plan approved. Some banks may impose a much more demanding plan and these professionals can get you a more favorable agreement.

Private Financers

These people are normally wealthy and are looking to loan you money, to cover your mortgage, at a higher interest rate. In some cases they will over to buy your house and lease to own it back to you...for a higher interest rate of course. (this may not be a bad option IF you can arrage something that works fr your financial position)

Mortgage/note holder

Your mortgage holder will call you to reinstate your house. This can be a good option depending on your situation. These are usually offered by mortgages backed by the government.

Whoever calls you or wherever the mail comes from be aware and think things through. You can stop a home foreclosure with the right options applicable for your situation. Do not throw in the towel if you don't have to. - 23200

Why Trade The News? (Part II)

By Ahmad Hassam

There are many strategies for news trading. Unfortunately there are a lot of news events in the forex world. These news releases often disrupt the short term currency markets. Quarterly reports carry more weight than the weekly and monthly news.

Sometimes the results of fundamental announcements are surprising and shock the markets for a while. Lets take an example. The release of the NFP figures has been moving the EUR/USD pair on average 100 pips for the last two years. About half of these pips occur just within two minutes of the release of the figures.

Lets consider this worst case scenario. You are a news trader. You immediately sell the EUR/USD pair within 2-5 seconds after the release of the NFP figures. However, the EUR/USD has already dropped 30 pips because of the pre news guessers.

Your forex broker gets thousands of EUR/USD sell orders. Just like yours almost all these orders are made at the same moment and it will take your broker a few seconds to execute all these orders. You wait for your order to be executed. Meantime, the EUR/USD price falls another 15 pips.

Because the volatility is so extreme to the downside as no traders are placing the buy orders, the broker widens the pips from 3 to 12. The moment your order hits the market, you are already -12 pips but you are also 45 pips away from where you thought the market would be.

Suddenly the EUR/USD pair starts to pull back. But you have already pulled your trigger and now you are at a loss of 55 pips. You exit your trade to cut your losses. You are angry. You want to blame the broker. But you cant blame the broker.

You had to sign an agreement when you opened your trading account. You should read the agreement with the forex broker. There will be a clause in it that says that the broker does not guarantee order execution at times of high volatility.

Do news traders always end up like this? Not always but they can and do end up behaving this way quite often depending on the importance or surprise results of the economic announcement.

So you need to develop a survival strategy. Do all that not to lose money. This survival strategy calls for the preservation of your capital at all cost while at the same time giving you maximum pips if you really want to trade the news.

Your priority is to reduce your risk by patiently waiting for conservative repeatable setups and not to make as much money as possible. News trading puts a traders patience to test and your objective should be to use the undue volatility to identify the important levels of support and resistance so that you can trade with high chances of winning. - 23200

By George Lapidis

These coins are not meant for market distribution or trading but were created and issued only for collectors. The collectibles can be purchased directly from the US Mint.

Earlier when the silver eagle coins were launched, individuals were not allowed to purchase from the mint. Instead they had to purchase from certified coin dealers or precious metals manufacturers.

The silver eagle coin collection from the limited edition set of the 1955 era is the most sought after collectible. The 1995 " W Proof American Silver Eagle is off the market and not available for purchase.

This set contains the American gold coin in 1 ounce, half ounce, quarter ounce and the tenth of an ounce and the entire set was valued at less than $1000 and minted for only 125 collectors.

The fact that the American eagle coin collection is guaranteed by the government gives the collector an assurance regarding the purity, value and weight of the coins in question. These coins are loaded by hand into the coin press and then they were stuck on specially burnished blanks that had the special mint mark for each coin.

With over one 130 million pieces circulating in the market since 1986 today the American Silver Eagle coin is a leading collectors item. It is globally recognized as the popular due to the fact that it is made of 100% pure silver guaranteed by the government. - 23200

Day Trading The Forex Market

By Paul Bryant

Day trading the Forex market means to actively buy and sell currency pairs multiple times during a day. Quick wins can be made in Forex trading which makes it a very popular choice for fast traders. The majority of the currency pairs have up to 300 points traded on a daily basis and rise and fall throughout the day.

Like any other trade, forex day trading is also full of unpredictability and uncertainty. And the key to win over this vulnerability of day trading in currency market is a profitable method of trading.

As you can earn a significant amount of cash every day, the appeal of Forex day trading is quite easy to see. However, a word of warning, just as you can make money with Forex - you can also lose it. Therefore it is important to take things steady - a large proportion of losses are made when traders try and execute a trade within 5 minutes of opening it.

This fast method of trading is often called scalping the market. There are many experts on scalping so it is very possible to make Forex day trading work. However, it only takes one unpredicted sharp rise or fall in value for you to lose a lot of money. Part of the problem is that the shorter the time period of trading - the harder it is to predict a trend as trends tend to show over a period of time. This is why scalping can be both difficult and costly.

To be on the safer side traders should always trade the 15 or 30 minute charts. And following the1 hour charts can deliver even better results. To make the right move you need to understand the trends well.

Therefore, if you trade over a longer period of time then it is easier to make money with Forex, and more importantly - harder to lose money. Of course you still need to be very aware of what you are doing. Longer-term Forex trading will only be beneficial if you know and understand trends.

By far the best way to trade and ensure you manage your risk effectively is to develop your own trading system. This can be adapted to suit your strengths and also the time you have available for trading. Once you understand trends and have been trading a while you will have a much better chance of perfecting your trading system.

It cannot be underestimated how much timing comes in to in Forex day trading. Firstly you have to be patient and be prepared to wait for the exact moment to execute your trade. If you leave it too late or go in too early then you will reduce the amount of profit you make. A successful day trader is able to pinpoint the exact moments to enter and exit trades for maximum profitability.

So, by keeping away from shorter time frames and maintaining the stop losses, you can surely earn consistent profit from the forex day trading. - 23200
