Tips To Consider For New Home Buyers

By Hubert Miles

If you are ready to purchase a new home there may never be a better time than now. Home prices are at record lows, but a home will still likely be the largest investment you will ever make. No matter how great a deal it seems, you should still proceed with caution and don't rush in to something you are not ready for. A home purchase could affect you for 30 years or more depending on the type of mortgage you choose.

When you begin to look for a new home, always evaluate how much you can afford to put towards the purchase of your new home and don't over spend.

A lot of factors are part of the decision making process of what you can afford when making a home purchase. The most important factors are: income, debt, down payment, and the term of the loan.

Once you determine what you can realistically afford, you'll need to obtain a copy of your credit report and begin the process of finding a lender for a home mortgage. Don't just start filling out applications everywhere you go, rather shop for a while. Armed with a copy of your credit report, begin talking to lenders about mortgage terms, interest rates, etc. until you find a lender that you find a good deal with.

Unless you have experience in the real estate industry, dont think you can go at this alone with no assistance. Real estate professionals with years of experience and knowledge about real estate transactions who can help you make your transaction run smoothly. Use their experience to your advantage. Yes, you may have to pay some fees, but these fees pale in comparison to making a mistake that you will have to pay for over the next 30 years.

By no means am I suggesting that you hand them the keys and let them run the transaction any way they see fit. You still need to educate yourself and remain in control of your real estate deal.

Nearly all agents are paid a commission for their work on the real estate transaction. They have a vested interest in helping you purchase your new home. - 23212

Determine Your Risk Tolerance

By Scarlett Embs

Every individual incorporates a risk tolerance that ought to not be ignored. Any sensible stock broker or monetary planner is aware of this, and they must build the hassle to help you establish what your risk tolerance is. Then, they ought to work with you to search out investments that don't exceed your risk tolerance.

Determining one's risk tolerance involves many totally different things. First, you would like to know how abundant cash you have got to speculate, and what your investment and financial goals are.

For instance, if you intend to retire in ten years, and you've not saved a single penny towards that end, you would like to own a high risk tolerance - because you may need to try to to some aggressive - risky - investing so as to succeed in your money goal.

On the other side of the coin, if you are in your early twenties and you wish to begin investing for your retirement, your risk tolerance will be low. You can afford to look at your cash grow slowly over time.

Realize in fact, that your need for a high risk tolerance or your want for a coffee risk tolerance very has no relating how you feel regarding risk. Again, there is a lot in determining your tolerance.

For example, if you invested within the stock market and you watched the movement of that stock daily and saw that it had been dropping slightly, what would you do?

Would you sell out or would you let your money ride? If you have got a moderate tolerance for risk, you'd want to sell out... if you've got a high tolerance, you would let your cash ride and see what happens. This is often not based on what your money goals are. This tolerance relies on how you are feeling about your cash!

Again, a good money planner or stock broker ought to facilitate you identify the amount of risk that you're comfortable with, and help you choose your investments accordingly.

Your risk tolerance should be primarily based on what your monetary goals are and the way you're feeling about the possibility of losing your money. It's all tied in together. - 23212

ETF Trading System For Beginners

By Patrick Deaton

The type of ETF trading system that a person chooses is going to be a personal choice that will involve many variables. Depending on whether a person wants to invest in a software program, subscribe to a service, do the research on their own, or use a system that they come up with. There basically is no standard system that everyone uses when they trade.

The effectiveness of any trading system that one uses will depend a lot on the type of trading they are doing and the baskets they are trading in. A system that is geared for long positions will not do as well in a short position sector. So, a trader who is diversified in Leveraged or other types of risky ETFs will want to be able to adapt their system to meet the needs of the sector they are in.

When selecting a system, it is important to remember that there is no magic trading system out there that will be effective all the time. When people start using a system that they have been told is the magic bullet they are disappointed and frustrated very quickly. The ETF is made up of millions of small moving parts that each affect the trades taking place. A system that may work for one person might not be as effective for another. Finding the system that works for you will be developed over a period of time as strategies and systems are tried and discarded or altered.

The easiest system to start with that provides minimal risk and will get a traders feet wet is the EMA system. EMA stands for Exponential Moving Average. It involves following trends, and has a pretty decent risk rating. The ETFs most traded using this system are TLT, XLF, SMH, RTH, and a few others.

Using the system, a trader will go long when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and the short when the reverse occurs. A trader has to leave or reverse positions on the day after the fast and slow EMAs cross. After deciding the days for the EMA (usually about 15), a person must stick to them.

As easy as this system is a person will have to do the research on the sectors they are considering and follow their trends to make effective trades. Setting buy and sell limits will help to keep the trading on track.

A good rule of thumb is to set a risk allotment. Set the percentage of the total capital that one is willing to risk on any one position, then stick with it. When the account reaches the minimum don't add more fuel, just move on. The other rule is to set the number of losing trades in a row that will be accepted, then cut back by a set percentage after that loss has been reached.

The most effective ETF trading system will be the one that works for the individual using it. When looking at different systems one must be as analytical as when they are planning on trading in a sector. Find out the consistent success of the system and how it worked in the sector that one is considering using it in. By discussing systems and strategies with a person who has knowledge of ETFs, trading strategies and systems, a person will be able to achieve successful trading within a short time. - 23212

Reasons For Investing In The Stock Market - Part 1

By Zigfred Diaz

Previously, I wrote a comprehensive introduction on how to invest in the Philippine stock market. The basic principles that each prospective investors should understand was extensively discussed. Here, the advantages of investing in the stock market, will be tackled.

As I said in the previous articles, the stock market is just another vehicle of investment. You might be asking yourself why would you want to invest in the stock market? What are the advantages of investing in the stock market.

The answer to such questions could be as follows. Note that the examples given refer to Philippine based companies and currency. Visit my blog if you want to view the entire article.

1.) The expectation of great returns - In 1997, the price of Globe Telecom Inc. (GLO) stocks was only P152.00 per share. You would only have spent P 1,520.00 to buy the minimum board lot of 10 shares. Now the price of globe has increased ten times more. It is pegged at P 1,620.00+. Meaning, the value of those shares that you bought at 1997 would be P 16,200 right now. This means that on the average you get 30 % return per annum. This is far more advantageous than putting your money in time deposit accounts which only give you less than 4 % per annum. This is just an example of what the financial experts are saying that when the stock market goes up, it really goes up. Returns could reach as high as 200 %+ per annum or even more. This is really expected, especially if you invest long term. It is interesting to know that the Philippine stock market is expected to be in a bull run for the next 2 to 3 years. If there is a time to get involved in the stock market, now would be the best time to do so.

2.) You become "part owner" of the company that you are investing in. - You might probably be thinking of franchising a Jollibee outlet. However doing so would cost you somewhere between 20 to 25 million pesos add to the fact that you have to put in time and effort to run the store. Why not buy stocks of Jollibee instead of franchising a Jollibee outlet in order to own your "own" Jollibee. You get to own 100 JFC shares (Jollibee Foods Corporations - JFC) for only P 5,000+. In so doing you "indirectly own" the more than 1414 stores in the Philippines and 175 in other countries including Red Ribon, Chowking, Deli-France, A popular fastfood chain - Yonghe King in China and popular teahouse chain from Taiwan called Chun Shui Tang including Jollibee's pilot restaurant "Tio Pepe's Karinderia." Now that is so cool! The next time you eat at Jollibee you could proudly say to your friends and relatives that you like to eat there because you "own" part of it. You more be more prompt in paying your telephone bills if you own stocks of PLDT or Globe telecoms.

3.) Belonging to a "special group of people" -

When asked to join a multi-level marketing scheme, I always want to know when the company started. I ask this question because I believe that if it started a long time ago, my chances of recruiting other people will be lessened as most people that I know has already been recruited.

Investing in the stock market may not be the same as engaging in mutli-level marketing as it does not matter whether the market is saturated or not. However it is always so much better to have the knowledge that we are among the first people to "mine" out the gold in the stock market.

According to Asian Development Bank as of 2005 only 600,000, out of the of the country's 87 million population, invest in the stock market. That's less than 1 % or roughly around 0.7 % It can also be observed that most of the market players are from the Class A and B segments. - 23212
