Japanese stocks slid 3 percent on Thursday after a surge in the yen to a record high stoked fears that a stronger currency would compound the economic hit from a worsening nuclear crisis.

The yen soared against the dollar on Thursday in chaotic trading as a break of the previous 1995 peak triggered a host of stop-loss and option-related selling, setting off a cascade of algorithmic sales.

The surge, which has significantly raised the risk of intervention by Japanese authorities, forced domestic retail investors to unwind long positions they had built up against the dollar in the past few weeks, driving the yen as far as 76.25 per dollar.

There are numerous Stock Day Trading Software available in the market especially on the internet. All of them promise that their software are able to make great profit in the market easily.

So, the question is, are all these software real promising products or they are just some kind of scams?

Yes: There are software that make the real deal as they are able to provide reliable and insight review of stock market and are able to pick the potential profitable stock. Some of the quality software have created high income traders that claim stock trading software as their living tools.

No: There are also some piggyback products that share the reputation of the good one; Some even become the scapegoat to destroy the trust of consumers on automated stock trading software.

When investing in the stock market, there are a number of different strategies that are possible to try and make the most money. Many people try and predict the future, buying companies that are selling for low costs and hoping they rise to greater values. However, I recommend looking for companies with steady earnings per share and strong dividends as a means of investment.

My reasoning for investing in companies with high dividends is that these stocks are stable. They might not experience the same high level of capital gains that you could get by picking the next big thing, but they offer a steady return on investment as the company pays you a regular 4% on the share’s value. What’s more, they may also show some growth in stock price, giving you a double gain of dividend payouts and capital gains.

When getting a dividend, it’s great to reinvest it in the company, thereby increasing your dividend holdings in the company even further. Through this, you will find yourself holding more shares of the company’s stock and thus, receiving more dividends. Because of this, dividend stocks can act as a circular growth of profit. Buying dividend paying stocks gets you more dividends which gets you buying more dividend paying stock and so on. Continue reading ‘Why High Dividend Stocks Are Great’ »

In 1983, two great commodity traders and friends were having an argument. One was of the opinion that great traders are made. The other said,” No, they are made.” Both had a bet. They placed an ad in the famous Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the Barrons for novices to apply for apprenticeship as commodity futures traders. Lo ahd behold many hundreds applied. Only 13 novices who had never traded anything before were selected and taught by these two great men how to trade commodities. Thus the great Turtle Trading Experiment in the history of trading was born. These novices were called as Turtle Traders by the two great traders. Ultimately almost all succeeded and became millionaires themselves. Learning commodity trading is not difficulty. This is the best time to do it. Commodity markets have entered a historical bull market that will continue for many decades in first half of the 21st century.

Commodities like gold, silver,oil, copper,uranium, wheat, cotton and other are experiencing an all time high historical prices. Gold prices recently breached the unheard of historical barrier of $1200 per troy ounce. Gold prices have retraced somewhat, but the market is poised for another rally in gold prices in the next few months. Other commodities are also experiencing a all time high demand. Crude oil is expected to reach close to $200 per barrel in the next few years with the global economy finally out of recession. What we are watching is a secular bull market in the commodities. This secular bull market may continue for many decades in 21st century. That is why it is being said that 21st century belongs to commodity trading. The fundamentals behind this secular bull market are strong. Continue reading ‘Commodity Markets in a Boom For Many Decades in 21st Century’ »

A US Dollar crash is looming. Analysts are of the opinion that the Dollar is headed towards a historic crash. US Dollar (USD) is already down by one third against most of the major currencies. Many analysts consider USD to be strongly bearish.

What can cause this USD crash. Warren Buffet gave a hint of this when he said that the frentic spending that is going on coupled with massive money creation will cause the USD to face a crash of historic proportions. This crash may even be more severe than what happened in 1970s. Now in 1970s too, USD had crashed due to the massive inflation caused by the government overspending during the Vietnam War. This time too, the US government is taking refuge by printing massive amounts of greenbacks to bailout bankrupt banks and insurance companies. This massive money creation is eventually going to make inflation uncontrollable for many years to come. Inflation could not be controlled during the 1970s decade. It was only controlled when Paul Volckar became the FED Chairman. He increased the interest rates so high that the economy went into recession. But it also ended the inflationary cycle. This time, the FED Chairman wants to save the financial system and ward off recession by increasing the money supply. Eventually, he will have to deal with high inflation later on. He knows it. The market knows it. This makes the market nervous and is putting a lot of pressure on USD.
