Stock Trades

The stock market is the procedure through which company stocks and derivatives are traded on the stock exchange. The stocks and securities have to be listed if they are to be traded on the stock market. However, there are different financial exchanges available on the stock market which includes bonds, commodities, derivatives and stocks. Bonds are traded over the market which is an informal way of trading and is usually known as bond market. Commodities markets enable the trade of commodities, and derivatives can be traded on various markets.

Currently the worldwide bond market has a volume of transactions that are worth $45 trillion. The deravitives market is estimated at $300 trillion worldwide which is still rising at a rapid pace. The world wide stock market is estimated to be at $51 trillion. This volume of financial transaction gives one a fair idea as to the evolution of the stock market for the trading of financial transactions. In order to trade through the stock market one has to list the stocks that are to be traded on the stock market. Every country has to have at least one stock exchange so as to enable the trading of stocks. For example in the United States there are three main stock exchanges which include the NASDAQ, NYSE and Amex. However there are regional stock exchanges OTCBB and Pink Sheets that enable the sale of the stocks in the market.

The mechanism of trading on the stock exchange is based on the buyer and seller relationship just like in the ordinary market. Trading can be done through auction, physical exchange and virtual exchange.

In auction, trading the stocks is based upon biding. The buyer that bids the highest price gets to buy the stocks. The seller asks for the potential price of the stock and if the buyer calls in the highest price among other sellers than that price is set as the actual price of the stock. The sale of the stocks is then made on a first come first basis of the stock.

Physical exchanges on the stock market take place when stocks are listed on the
Stock exchange. This is the most popular kind of trading in the stock market as a stock broker enables the buyer to get the best bids of the stocks at suitable market price. Online brokerage is one aspect of contacting a broker so as to enable the trading of stocks. The broker enables a deal between the seller and the buyer of the stocks. He functions as an intermediary in the stock market, who has information about the best price of the sale of stocks. However it is necessary to read the stock quotes before contacting a broker of a seller.
Virtual trading is done on computer networks where the buyer contacts the seller online to bid for the purchase of a stock.

The stock market is a revolutionary concept in business economics which has enabled nations to exhibit better growth rate. This is because stock markets have enabled management and organization of the stocks in an effective way.

Covered Calls - What Are Our Options?

Last week we investigated Covered Calls, a strategy whereby we write Call Options against shares we own in order to increase our return from owning the shares and to provide some downside protection should the share price fall.

Once we write a covered call, three things can happen;

1. The share price can rise in value;
2. The share price can stay the same; or
3. The share price can fall.

Lets consider the alternatives and assume the share price rises. As with all option strategies, the alternatives exist to do nothing. In such an instance our option would be in-the-money (ITM), our option would be exercised and our stock sold.

Our profit from such an occurrence would then compromise the initial premium we received from writing the call plus the profit from the sale of our shares. Whilst we would have made a profit on the transaction we would no longer own our shares.

This brings us to a very important consideration: you must only write options against shares you are willing to sell. If you have pre-capital gains tax stock which has inherent tax advantages to it, you should NOT write options against it unless you are willing to sell it.

Instead of having our stock called away, we have a second alternative. Suppose the share price has risen very high. If we covered or bought back the option we would lose money, as the value of the option would now be greater than the premium we originally received for it. However, we have removed our obligation to sell our shares at a lower price than where the share is now. So in reality whilst it has cost us money to buy our option back, we have a larger unrealised gain on the shares due to the steep appreciation in the share price.

In addition, by closing out our option (buying it back) we are now free to write another option at a higher strike price thereby increasing our potential profit.

Such a tactic is known as Rolling Up.

Often, the extra premium generated from the second call we write is enough to cover the loss incurred from buying the first option back, thereby putting us back in a profit position.

Also, this profit is identical to the one we would have made if our stock had been called away. The major difference between these two alternatives is that we no longer own the stock after being exercised whereas we retain ownership if we buy our option back. It is not always immediately apparent which of the two alternatives is best in any given situation.

If the share price stays the same, then the option will expire worthless. We retain our shares and get to keep the premium. We can typically make between 2-7% of the value of the shares on a monthly basis. Annualised, thats a return of 20-60% per annum! But what if the share price falls?

Defensive Action

Suppose we own Telstra (TLS) shares that we purchased at $7.70 and when TLS was trading at $8.20 we sold TLS July calls for $0.30 premium. We now have a $0.30 downside protection. Lets now assume that TLS falls heavily and is trading at $7.30 we have an unrealised loss of $0.40 on our stock. What action can we take to enhance our position?

As our stock falls so too does our option. The first step is the buy the option back thereby locking in our premium. Secondly, we must look for another option with a lower strike price and/or later expiry date.

This tactic is known as Rolling Down.

Suppose in our example we let the option expire worthless and sell a TLS July 750 call at $0.30. This would provide us with an additional $0.30 downside protection.

Hence our downside breakeven has been lowered from $7.40 to $7.10. So, rolling down has simultaneously given us further protection and increased our income if the stock stabilises.

Exercising Stock Options, Part 1

The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) has the broad responsibility for orderly settlement of all option contracts, which takes place through contact between brokerage houses and customers working with the exchange. Orderly settlement means, generally, that buyer and seller both trade in confidence, knowing that they will be able to execute their orders when they want, and finding a ready market. It also means that all terms of the contract are ironclad; exercise price, expiration date, and availability of shares upon exercise are all a part of the orderly settlement. To ensure orderly settlement and in recognition of the probability that option buying and selling does not always match up, the OCC acts in the capacity of buyer to every seller, and as seller to every buyer.

When a customer notifies a broker and places an order for execution of an option trade, the OCC ensures that the terms of the contract will be honored. Under this system, buyer and seller do not need to depend upon the goodwill of one another, the transaction goes through the OCC, which depends upon member brokerage firms to enforce assignment. Buyers and sellers are not matched together one-on-one. A disparate number of open buy and sell options are likely to exist at any given time, so that exercise will be meted out at random to options in the moneythus the term assignment. Since buyers and sellers are not matched to one another as in other types of transactions, how does a seller know whether a specific option will be exercised? There is no way to know. If your short option is in the money, exercise could occur at any time. It might not happen at all, or it might take place on the last trading day.

When exercise occurs long before expiration date, that exercise is assigned to any of the sellers with open positions in that option. This takes place either on a random basis or on the basis of first-in, first-out (the earliest sellers are the first ones exercised). Upon exercise, 100 shares must be delivered. The concept of delivery is in relation to the movement of 100 shares of stock from the seller of the option to the exercising buyer. The buyer makes payment and receives registration of the shares, and the seller receives payment and relinquishes ownership of the shares.

Tip: The seller often can avoid exercise through a series of stepspicking out-of-the-money options, taking short-term profits, and exchanging short-term options for longer-term ones. Avoiding exercise makes sense when stock price movement justifies it.

The Art Of Good Penny Stocks

Is the idea of good penny stocks more myth than reality? Are the words good and penny stocks a contradiction in terms? The reality is that penny stocks are what they are, and the good or bad applied to them depends on who was on the winning and losing end of the trade.

You can make the effort to improve you chances of having a good penny stock trade; you can learn what to look for, and when you have, youll be surprised at the number of penny stocks which come under your radar. The whole trick is in learning what characteristics good penny stocks have in common. And those characteristics are fairly obvious.

What To Consider
The first thing you should consider is the price. The best way to determine good penny stocks is with their prices. The lower the price, the better your chance of making a profit just limit yourself to those penny stocks which will fit your budget, and limit your budget to money you can afford to lose.

Next, consider the short-term outlook for the industry in which the company whose penny stock you want buy does business. Trading penny stocks is speculation, pure and simple, but it can be educated speculation. Youll have to research your company, its competition, and the state of its industry as a whole. Good penny stocks are those which put you in profit quickly; you should never buy a penny stock as a long-term holding. You can understand which penny stocks have the best chance of short-term appreciation by looking at factors that affect the industry.

Examine the past trading patterns of the stocks on you wish list. If one of them has been in a slow but steady uptrend, it points to accumulation and the good chance that the market thinks there is more to come. The trend is you friend.

Look at the companys management, and their track record and reputation in their industry. Look at the demands for the companys products or services, and their advantages over the products and services of the companys competitors. Look at whether or not the companys industry is subject to ups and downs based on economic conditions. Good penny stocks are those for which the outside influences are positive.

Getting A Sixth Sense
After a while, you will simply develop a sixth sense regarding good penny stocks. Youll not only know when to buy them, youll know when to sell them. And that is when youll know you are a true master of recognizing good penny stocks.

3 Myths In Trading World

Myth #1 Trading System is mechanical and thus takes away your emotions and judgment

Trading System itself takes up only a percentage of trading. Sean Tzu started his trading career by attending a power trading system course and realized soon that no matter how good the system is, more than 90% of his course mates including himself cannot follow the system due to trading psychology. Those who succeeded immediately after the course are found out to be experienced and professional traders who already mastered trading psychology.

Besides trading system, the other 2 important components in trading are money management and trading psychology. Due to the fact that no trading system is perfect, the need for money management and trading psychology will never turn obsolete.

Myth #2 Trading Psychology can only be acquired though actual trading

This myth used to be true until Sean Tzu made a break through and realised that trading psychology can be trained and conditioned using Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). However, it must be taken noted that NLP by itself will not turn a novice into an expert because the trading battlefield can never ever be simulated fully. What NLP can do is to bring a novice trader to a higher stage prior to entering the trading battlefield and drill the trader so well that regardless of fear, greed or impatience, the trader will relentlessly follow the planned strategy. Such drilling is similar to that of military drilling of soldiers so that they will attain braveness and courage and continue to act upon the command of the commander even in the bloody and merciless battlefield. NLP can also help experienced trader improve on his performance by deleting undesired traits and patterns in his trading and imprint desired patterns. As such, a main bulk of trading psychology can be acquired and trained with new science and training methodology such as NLP.

Myth #3 - Great Traders Can Predict the Market Direction

All traders can predict the market, but some will be correct half the time. In fact, traders who try and predict market direction are not termed as traders, but speculators or worse gamblers. All great traders understand that it is impossible to predict the market, so they do what is next best, prepare. Great traders are fully prepared for whichever condition the market goes and win trading in any circumstance. Do note that I am not speaking about analyst and have nothing against them. In fact most excellent analyst never predicts the market but speak of trends and probabilities which are different from prediction. Probably the best people to predict the market are people who can move the markets like terrorists or Guru Joe who holds the crystal ball.

Stocks And Bonds Investing Business - Should You Start One?

If you know how stocks and bonds work and how money can be made you can start a stocks and bonds investing business of your own. A business runs with a steady income and gives profit when growth is as per ones expectation. The role of stocks is to furnish long-term growth expected and the role of bonds is to furnish an income stream

It is unlikely that banks will provide you with any financial help to start a business of investing in stocks and bonds. So either you can do it with the money you saved, or advertise that your business will give high returns to those who invest in stocks through you.

A stocks and bonds investing business, once established, will make not just the owner but every single broker associated with it rich. Places where you work on incentives on top of the salary you always make money plus you learn the art of selling.

It is understandable that one person might not be able to handle the entire fund. One can hire a panel of professionals who have better experience and understanding of the market. Research and analysis team should be strong for the business to perform.

A strong network, advertising, website, chats and forums are all building blocks of a good company and would help your stocks and bonds investing business. Banks invest on stocks and bonds and that is how they survive.

In fact, this business is so affordable that if you do not want to go on a large scale start with friends and family and just charge brokerage on their investment. Even that would earn you huge profit, goodwill and publicity through word of mouth. You must brush up their skill from time to time by attending seminars over investments and market movements, reading books on certain topics.

Again, be absolutely certain you know what youre doing before you start this type of business. By this, I mean that you are experienced with the market and have achieved a great rate of return for your money before you start dealing with others finances.

Also, it would be wise to focus your business only on stocks and bonds, so that you can become an expert at that one area. Dont become a jack of all trades but master of none. Hopefully these tips will help you make a fortune from your stocks and bonds investing business and get you on the fast track to financial freedom.

What Are Penny Stocks, And Why Should You Care?

If you havent heard of penny stocks, maybe you should stop and read this. Penny stocks, as odd as it may seem, are responsible for the vast majority of stock trading in the US each day, accounting for over three-fifths of the NASDAQ stocks traded and over three-quarters of the stocks traded on the NYSE. But what are penny stocks, really?

Penny stocks, as their name implies, are stocks with a low share price, often under a dollar. But this does not mean much in terms of their trading, because they are most often traded in lots of at least a thousand, and more often tens of thousands, of shares.

What are penny stocks when seen by entrepreneurs? Suppose you have a company selling widgets, and everyone who buys your widgets raves about them. Youd like to sell your widgets to the entire world, which really needs good widgets, but you dont have the money to manufacture them in sufficient numbers. So you decide to raise money by taking your company public. You need a million dollars, and you can sell your stock at any initial price you like.

But the chances of your being to sell a million shares of stock at $1 each are much better than your being able to sell 100,000 shares at $10 each, because more people will be willing take a chance on an unproven widget company for $1 than for $10. Same company, same amount of money, but cheaper stock. In your case, the question What are penny stocks? can be answered with The way to get my company public.

But for stock traders, the question What are penny stocks? can produce multiple answers. Some will say that any stock which trades for less than $1 is a penny stock. Others say that a stock can be classified as a penny stock depending on the total market value of the company issuing it.

Becoming Wealthy with Stock Market Investing

The question of whether or not you can get rich investing in the stock market is a common one. While such an endeavor can make you rich, there is no sure fire way of making sure that this happens. In other words, the answer to the question “Can you get rich with stock market investing” is both yes and no. In fact, you will need a lot of skill and some luck if you are hoping to get rich this way.

The market fluctuates on a daily basis. You need strong investing skills in order to make money day trading. In other words, you cannot simply buy some stock and hope that it will make you rich. Instead, you need to learn which are best, how to read trends, and when to buy and sell. All of these skills will come with experience. It is important for you to invest with patience when you are new to the market so that you can gain experience and maximize your future profits.

Luck also plays a huge role in profiting from this method. For instance, purchasing stock at a low price and then having it explode shortly thereafter will surely pay you a lot of money. But there is only very few stocks that can do that and those are hard to find for someone new in the game and no access to inside information. Simply put, there are some people who always seem to buy the stocks that grow and grow but it will take time and effort before you can become one of them.

There is no denying that you can get rich by investing in the stock market. However, just as the rewards are high so are the risks. Starting slowly and increasing your investments over time as you learn more can minimize the risks and increase your chances of a large payoff. The bottom line is that not everybody will make millions day trading. But at the same time, maybe you will be the next one to hit it big!

Online Stock Trading - Extended Trading Hours Secrets - How To Trade After Market Close

A friend of mine recently asked my how it is possible that some stock prices still fluctuate although the stock exchange has been closed already. The answer lies in extended trading hours.

Extended trading hours are much different than the normal trading hours. There are other rules and if you want to participate you must know them. First of all, just because the regular trading hours are over it does not mean that there can be no other trades.

But where do these trades take place? Extended trading hours are usually for institutional traders but you can place an order as well as long as your broker supports it. Most modern online brokers do nowadays.

You can often place trades and get executed until 7pm or 8pm EST. But it all depends on the volume and liquidity at this point. One thing is important. There are other rules and the liquidity is usually much lower than during regular trading hours.

If your broker takes orders you will have to place limit orders. Chances are high that you only get a partial fill or not filled at all. Or you get an odd lot. This means higher risk that you probably can not exit the trade when you want.

Another problem with after hours trading is the wider spreads. Because of the lower liquidity the spreads begin to widen. This means higher costs and higher risks for you.

Since private investors are rarely participating, you will compete with professional traders. This can also mean a higher risk to you.

Why would someone want to trade after-hours? There are good opportunities after hours as long as you know what you do. Companies do report earnings or important news after hours for example. This gives you a chance to react on the news and get in or out of a stock while other investors are still waiting for the next trading day to begin. Many traders enter after hours and exit the next day before the market opens. They made a profit before others even start trading.
