  6. The Best Trading and Investing Method I Know - Analyzing Price Action by Terrance Beals

    The financial services industry is full of individuals and companies that specialize in creating and recreating trading methods that are marketed as ways to help traders and investors make money in the financial markets.

  15. Futures Trading - Profitable Endeavor Or Perilous Adventure? by Max D.

  17. Win the Battle Against Inflation With ETFs by Max D.

    When we head to the local service station to put gasoline in our cars, that gas has been refined from crude oil, perhaps the world's most traded and most volatile commodity. Gas prices historically move in unison with crude prices. If you paid $2.50 a gallon last week, but crude moved up a few bucks a barrel in the interim, you may pay $2.75 a gallon this week. That's a 10% increase and chances are you didn't get a 10% raise to absorb that price hike, hence the rub with inflation. Fortunately, there are ways for investors not only to protect their portfolios from inflation, but also to profit when inflation comes out to play. Let's take a look at a few of the choices.

  18. And the Winner Is, Closed End Funds Or ETFs? by Max D.

    Closed-end funds don't share the same level of popularity as their mutual fund (or open-end funds) counterparts and ETFs have probably surpassed closed-end funds in notoriety as well. We're here to tell you that just because an investment strategy isn't well known doesn't mean it can't make you some nice profits. Consider closed-end funds to be an investment option that fills a void somewhere between traditional mutual funds and ETFs. Closed-end funds certainly aren't as liquid or volatile as most ETFs are, but they are far more liquid than mutual funds.

  19. Commodity ETFs - How to Profit From Lower Risk Exposure by Max D.

    A common mistake made by many investors is to allow themselves to become intimidated by the world of commodities. Yes, it is true that investing in commodities can be risky, probably more so than stocks and definitely more so than buying bonds or mutual funds, but that doesn't mean commodities should be ignored altogether when constructing your portfolios. If nothing else, commodities are a great way to hedge your portfolio against the vagaries of inflation.

  20. The Lowdown on Futures Signals Services by Max D.

    Futures trading probably isn't the trading option for novice traders, but it is a great asset class to aspire to. Many traders that have found success with stocks or options later step up to futures because the leverage used in futures trading gives traders the opportunity to make larger profits in a shorter amount of time. Given that futures trading can be a vexing game even for seasoned traders, we like the idea of using a signal service as part of a comprehensive futures trading strategy. For those new to futures trading, a signal service can be a great way to understand the various futures markets and what goes into finding a winning futures trade. So without further ado, let's take a look at some of the traits you should be on the watch for when evaluating futures signal services.

  23. An Introduction to Developing a Futures Trading System by Max D.

    Futures trading is a great arena for traders that have had success with equities to graduate to when they're ready to take on a little more risk in search of more profits. Traders should be pragmatic and deliberate when considering futures trading. Just because you've been successful with stocks, forex or options doesn't mean you'll find the same success with futures. In other words, make sure that you're in a position to absorb the inherent risks associated with this kind of trading and make sure the volatility that is prevalent in futures is something you can financially and mentally handle.
