Proposed Trading Transaction Tax – Fight It

Karen — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:08:17 +0000

In case you don’t know, Congress is considering a .25% tax on every trading transaction. Individual traders and institutions alike would be hurt immensely by this tax.

Please take a few minutes to fight this proposed tax, which would change trading as we know it. Green Trader Tax Company has developed a petition that you can sign, and have it automatically sent to your representatives and to President Obama. Please visit this site and sign the petition. ”A financial-transaction tax is detrimental to many industries.”

Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets

Karen — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:52:34 +0000

While walking in my community recently, I encountered my friend and neighbor, Larry Walters. Larry told me about a book he just finished reading, Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets by Stan Weinstein. He said it really helped him get “on the right side of the trade” much more often. So, I picked up a copy myself.

While Secrets for Profiting in Bull an Bear Markets was written in 1988, its approach is still valid. Weinstein offers a simple set of rules to interpret charts, including a 30-week moving average to identify trend, and visual identification of a “basing area” (what OTA graduates know as a demand zone or supply zone).

Weinstein also goes into timing — when to buy,when to sell, and common mistakes with shorting. The book quizzes you at the end of each chapter – a good way to find out if you really “got it”. I found this book easy to read and a great addition to my trading/investing library.

Who else has read Secrets for Profiting in Bull an Bear Markets? What did you think of it?
