Trend trading can be a very profitable way to make money in the stock market. It can be as simple as buying stocks that are going up and holding onto them until they start going down. Below is a list of actions you must take if you want to be a profitable trend trader. 1. You must first find a stock in an uptrend. So, what is an uptrend. It’s simple an uptrend occurs when a stock is making higher highs and higher lows. Thus the overall movement of the stock is upward. The first step to being a trend trader can be just as easy as finding a stock that is going up.

2. After you find an up trending stock you are going to want to get in this stock. You don’t want to get in at just any point however. Wait for the stock to make a higher low. When it makes the higher low a trend trader sees the signal to get in the trade. Getting in when a stock is making a higher low has advantages. First you get in the stock at a lower price than if you got in it during a higher high. Second it minimizes your risk because you can sell as soon as the stock makes a lower low.

3. Once you are in a trend trade you are going to want to hold it until it makes a lower low. This can take anywhere from weeks to months to years. As long as the stock keeps making higher highs and higher lows a trend trader should stay in it. A trend trade is different than a swing trade in 2 ways. First a trend trade will typically be longer than a swing trade. It also does not have a target. Trend traders like stocks that go up and will never leave them until they go down.

Yesterday Dow Jones staged a rebound after UBS puts a more corrective figure of total cummulated subprime losses to around 270 Billion U.S.Dollars. This has soothed the nerves of stock market players to some extent and U.S. stocks recovered the over 275 points after opening lower sharply. Well can this be the turning point in current scenario for global financial markets, only time will tell as markets can’t trust blindly any single institutions especailly when that particular corporation itself has written off huge losses in subprime mess. This piece of news, however, for the time being, has enabled investors to breathe after seeing huge selloffs continously for the past 3 months. On commodities front, crude oil retreated back after touching all time high of U.S.$111 per barrel mark. Gold too has hit an all time high of U.S.$1000 per ounce. Markets now are expecting a further 75 basis point rate cut this time around from U.S. Federal reserve and he will oblige to market forces. Markets seem to have discounted this rate cut event into current stock prices and any dissapointment on this front may send markets into more bad sentiment. U.S. dollar is currently trading below 100 mark against the japanese yen and inviting fresh unwinding of yen carry trade. At this moment Dow Jones is trading lower after Bear Stearns anounces emergency funding from JP Morgan and U.S. Fed. Asian equities too ended the day with lackluster trade followed by European indices. Markets on monday will take cue from closing of Dow Jones and that will deceide the action for rest of the week, markets will be learning to live each day as it comes due to huge uncertainity and nervousness hovering around.

Mutual Fund (a.k.a. Unit Trust Scheme) is an investment vehicle for people without the Time or/and Resources to invest in the stock/ share market indirectly by paying a fees (some without fees) to a professional fund manager in return for a profit.

Mutual Fund usually involves three parties, i.e. a Unit-Holder (Investor), a Fund Manager and a Trustee. All three parties have different roles to play in this investment relationship.

Let’s talk about Unit-Holder. A unit-holder put in her capital together with other unit-holders with the same investment objective to form an investment pool of fund. This pool of fund is then invested in a group of shares/ stocks or other assets (e.g. bonds, fixed income instrument etc.) in return for a profit.

A Fund Manager role is to manage this pool of fund by investing in different asset groups on behalf of the Unit-holders. As for Trustee, her role is to make sure the fund is being managed according to a ‘Deed’ that spells out all the detail of the Mutual Fund Scheme. In other words, the Trustee is like a guardian of the Unit-holders to make sure the Fund Manager manages the Fund accordingly.

Though there are different opinions regarding Mutual Fund whether is it a good or bad investment, my personal stand point is if you lack the time or/and resources to invest in the stock/ share market directly, mutual fund might be your next best alternative to achieve above-average returns as compare to savings in the bank and fixed deposit.

Good money management skills are indispensable for a happy life. Such skills don’t only affect the financial aspect of your life. They could also affect your ability to make sound decisions in your relationships and emotional health. Because money management can have such a tremendous impact on your life, you have to hone your skills in it. Here are a few tips for wise money management that, when followed, will help improve the quality of your life through better financial control, increased savings, and better decision-making when it comes to spending.

1. Keep track of where your money is going.

It is very important that you know where exactly your money is going. Paying attention to how you are spending your money is a major step in managing your finances. It would be helpful if you write down all your expenditures for a certain period of time, say weekly or monthly. Once you have done this, you can evaluate your record and try to curtail all of your unnecessary expenses.

2.Spend your money wisely on things of lasting and/or appreciating value.

Most people spend their money on expensive things that have no lasting value, such as clothes, gadgets, and cars. They purchase these things at the expense of those that really matter like property, education, and insurance, among others. In other words, invest your money in things that would be useful to you in the long run.

3. Make a budget suited for you and make sure you stick to it.

Design a budget according to your income and expenditures. Make sure that a certain amount of your income goes to savings and reducing your debt. Analyze your budget and check what expenditures you can cut down on. Once you have a budget, make sure you follow it so that you would be able to avoid overspending, gain greater financial control, and eliminate stress.

4. Make sure to set aside some money.

Using your budget as a reference, determine how much money you can save. We are able to reserve some money for our rent, phone bills, and other obligations so it wouldn’t be that hard to treat savings as another form of obligation to ourselves. By having extra money kept in the bank, you’ll be sure to have something to use when an emergency arises, say, when all of a sudden you find yourself finding it hard to keep up with your credit card payments.

5. Buying life insurance is always a wise thing to do.

Nowadays everybody do this for their own plan. But now you can do this easier. Life insurance online are available in the internet. You can even purchase insurance policy in just one click away.

5. Go for debt consolidation if you think it will help you.

You may resort to debt consolidation. This involves merging all of your balances into one loan at a lower interest rate at an extended period. Doing so will help you in the short-run since your monthly expenditure will be reduced to an amount that you can handle given the limit of your income. However, you must consider that debt consolidation will keep you indebted for a longer time, thus stretching your interest payments and will result in a bigger overall amount that you have to pay.
