Commodity Markets Trading Strategies For Starters

The best way to learn how to trade in the commodity markets is to take lessons directly from a successful trader. However, even if you found the right persons, and they taught you all they know, this in itself does not guarantee that you will make money the way they do. For this, you need to keep a good trading strategy yourself, if you are to succeed in doing commodity futures trading.

Trade Correctly Or Not At All

A lot of people don’t realize it, but they end up learning through trial and error. However, you are unlikely to become a good trader if you use this method. The first thing you need to do to trade the right way is to read as much as possible about commodity trading. This may not give you the best trading plan, but it will definitely prepare you for the trades you might want to take in the future. You will gain more knowledge about the risks you are about to take, and how to limit them. You will also have the benefit of learning from the mistakes made by these experts, rather than having to go through them yourself.

Essentials Of A Sound Trading Strategy

The first decision you need to take while formulating a trading strategy is to decide how much capital you want to invest, as this will greatly determine how much you will end up making as profit. The more you invest, the better your chances of making money. It provides for more lasting power in the market if you have more ‘risk capital’. Risk Capital is the amount of money you are willing to lose without it affecting your way of life. The next step is to decide what your average trade investment will be – as in the value of each trade taken.

The four essentials of any good trading strategy are as follows. Firstly, always remember to trade in the direction of the market trend. Remember, the market trend is your only friend. Secondly, always keep stops in place. They will determine how much capital you will lose. Thirdly, let your profits run as deep as you can. Don’t be in a hurry to exit a trade if you are making only a little money. This sounds like it is easy to do, but is perhaps the most difficult of all the four principals. Lastly, manage your risk wisely and carefully. Make sure that the risk reward ratio is always leaning in your favor when you are taking a trade.

Use Of Technical Analysis

Most traders use technical analysis as part of their trading strategy. Technical analysis provides many vital tools that allow you to be more informed about the trades you are taking, and help to decide which ones to ignore. Among other things, indicators used in technical analysis allow you to determine trends, entry points, stops, target prices, supports, resistances, possible breakouts and breakdowns. It would be wise to use these indicators when you are formulating a strategy to trade in the commodity markets.

Remember, it is wise to always trade a commodity that you are knowledgeable about. Try to master one commodity and know the factors that affect its movements. Know what you are trading, and you will find your self on the winning side more often.

Deutsche Bank Championship

At the pizza parlor tonight, where they serve food at the bar, which is where I was sitting with my girlfriend, the guy next to me said to the bartender: "That Sox bet isn't looking so good now." I wasn't able to figure out what that bet was, but I bet it was made after the Yankees swept the Red Sox in five at Fenway, and I bet it was that the Sox will still make the playoffs, despite the massacre.

"You want to double down on Tiger not winning the Deutsche Bank?" the guy next to me continued. He'd ordered the chicken parm and a beer when he walked in. The trash talk would last beyond his house salad.

The bar tender went to another customer, maybe because he didn't want to deal with a double down offer, maybe because he didn't want to bet against Tiger, maybe because he didn't know that that would be a pretty good bet. I don't know.

He came back in the vicinity of us and the guy said, "He's won four in a row." The bar tender went to the other end and filled a beer. "He's won four in a row?" I asked. My neighbor said, "Four. He lost the U.S. Open." I said, "I think he's won five----the Western, the British Open, the ..." He turned away from me and asked the bar tender how many straight Tiger has won. The bar tender, still busy, put up his hand and opened his fingers. "You're right," my neighbor said. I wasn't, though. Tiger finished T2 at the Western. It's been four straight since. I'm not proud of not knowing that---I oughtta be able to hold my own in a very rare tavern discussion of golf, of Tiger's results. But, the fact that the bar tender thought he won five straight, too, and that the guy next to me was quick to agree, quick to second guess himself, gives some indication of the run Tiger's on now. It already seems like he's won more in a row than he actually has.

"Why do you think he's not going to win this week?" I asked the guy who was right but didn't know it. "Because he doesn't know the course, it's new to him."

I'm more of a momentum picker than horses for courses, but if I was the latter, I might have told my neighbor that I was pretty sure Tiger had done well in the recent life of this tournament. I would have been right because in the three years the Deutsche Bank has been played at the TPC of Boston, Tiger's finished T7 ('03), T2 ('04) and T40 last year, when he shot a 65 on Thursday, best round of that day. I'd say he doesn't have too many problems with the course.

The bar tender has a 50-50 chance, and probably better, of winning with Tiger. With Sunday's playoff win at the WGC event, he did, in fact, win his fourth in a row, and his sixth out of only thirteen tournaments played this year. The "probably better" aspect is the four in a row, the fact that the Tiger of 2000, a version of which I'd predicted we'd see at the start of the year, has now come. He may better those gaudy 2000 numbers by the time November rolls around, as he won 9 of 20 in 2000, and if he wins out this year he'll have a higher winning percentage. The only question is if this jaunt to Ireland before the Deutsche Bank is going to catch up with him after a round or two. But I have to figure that since he outlasted a late charge by Stewart Cink last Sunday, then took advantage of Cink's inability to close it with putts on the first two playoff holes, followed with a dart in the rain to Cink's approach in the sand on the third playoff hole, that since he won despite his best game, he feels pretty much invincible right now, and may be looking to Thanksgiving the way Warren Zevon thought about life: I'll sleep when I'm dead. Jet lag? Fatigue? Not now.

In the short time left of this golfing season I'm thinking what I thought at the beginning of the year: everyone out of the pool, it's his tournament to lose, which, the fact that I can say that, and it can be true for four weeks now, given the fact that 150+ golfers enter any given tournament, speaks to how absurd, ridiculous, pick-your-adjective Tiger has been of late. He's on a roll, a roll that only one person in recent years has had---Vijay Singh---who won his nine in 2004, followed up that campaign in which he briefly wrested No. 1 in the world from Tiger with four wins in 2005, but hasn't been heard from much since.

Anyhow, by now you've figured out who I'd like to pick to win this week's Deutsche Bank. At 5-4, put a half unit on Tiger to win.

In the head-to-head, put the unit on him to finish higher than Adam Scott (2-5).

Last week: I picked Jim Furyk and Stuart Appleby in the outright because I figured they had a shot. Furyk finished a close third. I picked him in the head-to-head, too, over Lefty. That was over by the weekend. So, it was a double win week.

Marketing Your Business Online

If you are not already marketing your business online, it is time to start. Although there are a few exceptions, just about every business can benefit from online marketing. There are just so many advantages to this type of marketing. First of all, it is extremely affordable to market your business online. Other advantages to marketing your business online include the ability to reach a large target audience, the ability to reach potential customers all over the world and the ability to customize the marketing for different sectors of the target audience.

The affordability of Internet marketing is one of many reasons why many business owners are turning to the Internet for advertising. Advertising online is incredibly affordable especially when you consider how many potential customers a business owner can reach with an online marketing campaign. Most methods of online advertising are quite affordable and some of them do not have any direct costs. For example, you may choose to market your business online by participating in industry forums and posting links to your website whenever it is appropriate to do so. In this case the cost of creating and maintaining the website is insignificant in comparison to the number of potential clients you could reach through online marketing. Additionally, the costs associated with posting links to your website are incidental. You could consider the cost of having access to the Internet as part of the cost but you most likely require Internet access for other reasons as well so it is completely worthwhile.

Reaching a large target audience is another very worthwhile reason for marketing your business online. You may have spent a great deal of time and energy doing market research and determine who your target audience is. You may have also spent a great deal of time trying to figure out the best way to reach this audience. This is a very sound marketing principle but as it applies to marketing on local television, radio and print media it only allows you to reach a limited audience. However, when you take your marketing to the Internet you automatically drastically increase your potential target audience because you now have the ability to reach members of your target audience around the world.

This ability to reach customers around the world is another major advantage to marketing your business online. Regardless of where you live and operate your business, you have the ability to reach those who have an interest in the products you sell or the services you provide no matter where they live. This makes it possible for you to do business with customers around the world.

Likewise the fact that the Internet is available 24 hours a day is also very beneficial to those who choose to market their products or services online. Shopping for products and services in person can be very difficult especially for individuals who work long hours or those who work unusual hours. These working conditions make it difficult for these individuals to do business and make purchases of products and services they need during regular business hours. However, business owners who have an online presence are much more convenient because unlike stores and calling centers, the website never closes. This convenience gives potential customers the ability to view products and services, compare these products and service to the ones offered by competitors and make a purchase at any hour of any day.

If you are a business owner who is reading this article and you do not already have a strong online presence, you need to immediately start learning more about the world of Internet marketing. This is so important because if your competitors are marketing online, you may find they are gaining a steady advantage and are becoming more appealing to potential customers. Before too many of your potential customers become loyal customers of the competition it is time to start figuring out how you can market your business online and keep up with the competition.

Spherical Sun Power Generator - Squeeze Sun

Who Is Andre Broessel

German Architect Andre Broessel designed a Spherical Sun Power Generator. Rawlemon, wants to Spherical Sun Power Generator revolutionize solar power. Broessel was a finalist in the World Technology Network Award 2013 with the globe's design.

He has 27 years of experience in management, design, and technology. His main objective is complex technology.

Andre has an updated version for 2016. Andre thinks outside the box. He is somewhat of a maverick when seeing the future of solar.

Future Is In Hands of Sbotic Ltd

Sbotic was established in 2014. They are tasked with marketing Rawlemon's Spherical Solar Generator. Sbotic ltd. acquired the patents of Rawlemon's energy generating module ''SixCities'' and ''MicroTrack'' system.

The company located to London, England in 2014. Sbotic Ltd. ( Sun Robotics) is a division of Ramlemon Company.

Sbotic ltd is pushing the boundaries of solar energy conversion. They are proving net zero-energy buildings could be a standard tomorrow. Sun Robotics mission is to integrate the sun powered generator into the cities environment. This would include buildings and homes.

Spherical Sun Power Generator

Andrea Broessel and Rawlemon has created a prototype spherical sun power generator. The generator is called the Beta ray. His technology is a combination of spherical geometry and dual axis tracking system. This allows for twice the output of a spherical sun power generator conventional solar panel. The solar panel on the generator is small in comparison with a normal panel.

The sphere is fully rotational and can be placed on walls, buildings and any space with direct sunlight. According to Broessel, it can be placed on an electrical car charging station.

You might think the spherical generator is from some sci-fi movie. You would be wrong.

Beta Ray Parts Exposed

    Reduced silicon cell area to 25%
    Increased efficiency to 57%. Solar panel is at 22 to 24%,
    Ultra transmission Ball Lens point focusing concentrator.
    During night hours, sphere ball can illuminate an area with a few led's.
    Modular collector system charges and stores energy during daylight.
    Can collect energy from the moon. That's right, the moon.
    How does it work. Sunlight is collected through the ultra transmission ball lens focusing concentrator.
    Concentrated sunlight is stored in the solar cells.
    Then it is sent to generator for using in homes or commercial buildings.

Different Tasks For Sun Power Generator

The Beta ray was designed for off-grid conditions and a supplement to buildings electrical needs. Also the idea is to provide thermal circuits like hot water.

Spherical sun power generator can be used as an architectural marvel. Beta ray has the ability to track the sun all day. Solar panels do not track.

6 different tasks of the solar generator

    Provide electricity
    Produce thermal production
    Solar generator has transparency
    Capable of shading
    Ventilation for building
    Spherical generator is a work of art

1 through 5 above will transform the future of zero-energy buildings.

Generator will provide electricity for buildings and homes at 4 times efficiency of the typical 22% solar panel on the market today.

Solar generator will will produce thermal production which in turn heats water.

Spherical ball is transparent and hybrid collector will increase efficiency for smaller solar panels.

Solar generator to be used with solar umbrellas for shade.

Generator will produce ventilation for buildings.

Rawlemon Solar Devices Coming Soon

Under the umbrella of Rawlemon, there now is a new division named Indiegogo. They are introducing the world's first Building Integrated Concentrated Solar Power (BICSP) Technology. This product will be for sale in December.

Introducing the Beta.ey 80LIM for $119.00. This will be the first concentrator solar charger and moonlight beamer combined spherical solar powered generator in one design. Beta.ey will be able to charge iPhones, iPads and many other devices.

The concept of Beta.ey is on the lines of the mega prototype designed by German Architect Andre Broessel. The prototype took three years to form a device that will be in the hands of consumers by Christmas.

Rawlemon has a large sphere lens that does not move. Solar charger moves around the back of sphere. It will follow concentrated sunlight passing through to the other side. A typical solar panel has to be moved manually to follow the sunlight. In other words, this is much more efficient capturing sunlight and ultimately producing more electricity.

Cool looking too!

Check Out How Beta.ey Works

Beta-ey requires a solar panel 1% the size of standard solar generators. This device works well during cloudy days. It has the ability to pull in diffuse light. This spherical solar powered generator will be used for mobile devices.

Number one cool factor! There are built-in leds for lighting up the globe.

Full scale Beta-ray

Full scale beta-ray is for the outdoors. It will fetch a price of $6000. It's only money. Right? At this juncture, there is no data spherical solar powered generator that I could find for return on investment. Rawlemon is looking to integrate the beta-ray system into the design of European architecture of the future.

European Commissions directive is to design nearly zero-energy buildings. The design process will start in 2019. Rawlemon is in line with the European Commissions directive.

Could we see the full scale Beta-ray in the united states? It will be interesting to see what form of solar the world will use in 10 to 20 years.

Final Thoughts

Spherical solar powered generator has my attention for several reasons.

    Design concept is out of this world crazy smart.
    Solar panels are 4 times more efficient due to dual axis tracking and transparent ball lens.
    Versatility of solar generator for buildings and charging electric cars.
    Attractive architecture design.
    Future applications for communities to generate electricity.

Andrea Broessel and Rawlemon have made great strides towards solar independence. They have accomplished a workable solar design in less than 6 years. Time will tell if the full scale Beta-ray is profitable.

Beta-ey small scale solar generator should be a hit with consumers that need to recharge mobile devices. Some competitor solar generators are from $400 to $800. You would be able to charge larger devices like a small tv, laptop or lights in an RV. That's 4 to 8 times more than Beta-ey. Something to think about.

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds in the near future. I think the Beta-ey and full scale beta-ray have a reasonable chance to succeed.

Regards,

Tim

Relationship Marketing

Relationship Marketing is targeted at building stronger and long lasting relationships with clients and other companies. The business is done with a strategic orientation, where the relationship is improved with existing customers rather than finding new customers. It is meant to cater to the needs of individual customers. Its major part involves studying the need of the customer and how it changes in different circumstances.

Relationship marketing applies techniques like marketing, sales, customer care and communication. The relationship is not only enhanced but its life period is increased by these strategies. And as the customer realizes the value of relationship, they are drawn closer. This marketing not only focuses on building relationship and attracting customers to their products and services but also how to retain them.

A raw form of Marketing came into existence in the 1960s. But, organizations were still facing difficulty in selling products, so a system was developed to sell low cost goods to larger group of customer. Leonard Berry and Jag Sheth originated this marketing, in 1982. It was started in B2B markets and industries, which involved long term contracts for many years.  Over the period of time, various marketing strategies were improved and relationship marketing was one of them.

Relationship marketing is applicable where the customers have many options in the market for the same product or service and the customer is entitled to make a selection decision. In such a kind of market, businesses try to maintain their clients by providing comparatively better products and good service and hence, achieving customer loyalty. And once it is achieved it becomes difficult for competitors to do well in the market. The customer turnover wasn’t paid attention on as the main attention was on customer satisfaction. This kind of marketing was initially named as defensive marketing. Offensive marketing is the marketing strategy where not only new customers are attracted, but also the sales are stepped up by increasing the purchase frequency. This kind of marketing concentrates on freeing dissatisfied customers and acquiring new customers.

According to a research, the cost of retaining an old customer is only ten percent of the cost of getting a new customer, which makes sense to not to run around to get new customers in relationship marketing. And according to another research done by cross-sectional analysis, says that, a five percent improvement in customer retention is responsible for twenty-five to eighty-five percent of the profit. Usually high cost is incurred when getting new customers, so if sufficient number of existing customers is retained, there will be no need of acquiring new customers.

Once the customer trust is gained his chances of switching to other company becomes relatively less, he buys goods in bulk, he buys other supplementary goods and he starts neglecting average price variation. This maintains the unit sales volume and there is an increase in dollar-sales volume. The existing customers will be like a living advertisement. If he is satisfied with the company he will recommend it to his friends and acquaintances.

Since the existing customers are familiar with the process, it will take less time and money to educate them about the procedures putting fewer burdens on employees also and making them feel more satisfied with their jobs. The customers are divided into groups based on their loyalty. This procedure is known as relationship ladder of customer loyalty. The groups in ascending order are prospects, customer, client, supporter, advocate and partner.

Due to the advancement in computers and Internet, software has been developed to facilitate customer relationship management. With the help of this software the tastes, activities, preferences, and complaints of customers are tracked. Almost all the companies have this software in their marketing strategy, which benefits the customer as well as the company.

Thus the main aim of relationship marketing is to construct and maintain relationship with committed clients who are meant to bring profit to the company. The other benefits achieved are confidence building and social benefits. http://admarket.sale

Should You Buy Gold Mining Stocks?

The business of purchasing mining stocks can be a tricky and dicey business like any forms of stock especially in the modern global economic climate characterized by high level of volatile, particularly in the commodity trade directly affected by international economic upheavals.
