What is the January Effect

December 31st, 2008

The January effect is the tendency of the stock market to rise between December 31 and the end of the first week in January. There are many theories for why this happens, the main one being that it occurs because many investors choose to sell some of their stock right before the end of the year in order to claim a capital loss for tax purposes. Once the tax calendar rolls over to a new year on January 1st these same investors quickly reinvest their money in the market, causing stock prices to rise. The January effect has been observed numerous times throughout history, though the first week of January 2008 was a notable exception. - wikipedia.org

Scams posing as charities

December 31st, 2008

The Bernie Madoff scam proves that any scam or Ponzi scheme is built on trust. People can't ask too many questions.  Madoff passed that test long ago. At the exclusive Palm Beach Country Club - founded by Jews in the 1950s, when the other clubs in town were restricted - he proved himself a person of character by giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity each year, a substantial portion of it to Jewish causes.

Madoff enhanced his reputation by showing that since he donates heavily into charities, he must be credible and thus everyone put more money in his fund.

Other more popular types of scams posing as charities thrive from direct solicitations appealing on your pity.

Dealing with Repetitive Strain Injury RSI through exercise

December 30th, 2008

For us stock market enthusiasts who have some notion on charts, RSI is a familiar term that measures strength relative to price and past days, or Relative Strength Index.  Well in doing these computer charts, trading, and just web surfing, we can all easily acquire an unwanted type of RSI. 

This is the hazard of Repetitive Strain Injury to the hands and arms resulting from the use of computer keyboards and mice. This can be a serious and very painful condition that is far easier to prevent than to cure once contracted, and can occur even in young physically fit individuals. It is not uncommon for people to have to leave computer-dependent careers as a result, or even to be disabled and unable to perform tasks such as driving or dressing themselves.
