February Link Love (Selected Investing Links)

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Although I don’t like playing the money game with pennies, I am a pretty frugal fellow, so I enjoyed reading Eight Sure-Fire Ways to Sock Away $100 published by Free Money Finance. And while on saving, check out the two secrets with instant gratification as suggested by Blueprint for Financial Prosperity.

Buffet seems to read my blog *grin*. When the market falls he is buying stocks.

The Canadian Capitalist has revisited high interest savings accounts.

The DINKs ask how bad is inflation really. Pretty bad, but only if you can’t beat it - I would say.

Profit From Bear Market - Credit Default Swaps

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

In the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 a stock market crash all over the world ate up to 25% investment capital.

Bear Market Lucky you, if you didn’t have stocks or mutual funds at that time. There was similar crash in September 2001. There will be similar crashes in the future.

Stocks And Mutual Funds Work Better In Bullish Market

Some stock traders do well with short trading, but the truth is in most cases it’s all about good times for the markets. In the last few years many stock traders and mutual funds in East Europe achieved outrageous returns of 100% of more per year.

Betfair Trading Systems By Pro X Trading

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

The article about Betting Academy posted at the end of December resulted in a lot of feedback, which makes me think you could be interested in other bet trading systems. Actually, there is some relation between the two articles because Matt from Pro X Trading is the same Matt that was discussed in the Betting Academy post.

Enough chit-chat, let’s get into the details.

Pro X Trading is offering a system and club for professional sports trading (betting). The founder of the company is Matt Finnigan, a sports betting strategist.

Why I Quit Millennium Traders Forex Signals

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

If you have read the Forex Signals Tutorial and my first impressions about Millennium Traders, you have figured out that I really liked them. I still think that moderator guy JT knows his stuff, although the end of January and beginning of February has been quite poor for my trading with them. There were mostly signals which were hitting the stop loss and the few good ones didn’t make anything more than 10 - 20 pips.

The thing which worried me most and made my decision to stop using them was the stats on their home page. Even in the bads week the forex trading room the stats keep showing positive results.

Mathemathical Investment Strategy By Getfolio

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

I am suspicious to strategies, but 28% yearly ROI for 17 years is certainly something that can make me think different. To achieve that GetFolio is using a mathematic strategy for stock trading. The strategy is supposed to avoid big drawdowns and let you sleep well at night.

The type of service is close to trading signals - you receive stocks picks with alerts when to buy and sell. Unlike most signals however, GetFolio is not for day traders. Their strategy is for long term growth, therefore you can’t expect very high ROI of course.

The Basics of Domain Investing

Monday, February 11th, 2008


Have you heard the term domainer?

While thousands of bloggers and forums pollute the Web with “make money online”, there are people who actually make a lot of it without spreading affiliate checks on blogs. Such people don’t even have blogs. They don’t work online to make money, they invest in the web for profits that most people will never see.

Domainer schema

The domainers own, buy, sell, develop, rent or register hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of domains. Note that I am not saying websites, because pretty often there is nothing on these domains except ads or capture pages.

Devrim Managed Forex - $5,000 Minimum

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Here is another medium risk managed forex account. Devrim is offered by PFGBEST and traded by a turkish trader named Devrim Akyil.

The funny thing is they don’t offer full details on PFGBEST website so further information about the managed account should be obtained by phone, mail or third party sources. I’ll save you the initial research:

Minimum investment: $5,000

Date of inception: October 2006

Average ROI: 2.98% per month

Maximum Leverage: 30:1

Sharp Value: 8.78

So far it has never had a negative month. Of course, there is always time to “improve” that.
