Stock Futures Trading Made Un-Ezy : Reliance Industries

Harsh lessons have surfaced from trading Reliance Futures. A company which stands at world No 2  in terms of returns to shareholders, has given sleepless nights to my subscribers for about a month for having bought it at seemingly reasonable price level of 1000. This happened at a time when indices were slowly creeping northwards, while Reliance slid south.


Let me begin from the start. On 10 Aug 2010, I had recommended buying Reliance Aug Fut to my subscribers at  http://www.stockezy.com/  at 990/1000. This decision to buy at 1000 level was result of  awe for the company and not any technical reason. On the contrary I had aired my  technical view at the site on 6th Aug. Reproduced  below is relevant comments section of this link  http://www.stockezy.com/opinions/6934/buy-ambujacem-aug-futures/ which explains it all :-

“

@Shantanu. Reliance is technically in down move. It has strong support at 960. So broadly it will come down to 980 before it manages a technical bounce. So try and get out of this position at around 1020.

”

But as I mentioned earlier, the fundamentals of the company got the better of my senses and I was as if mesmerized into recommending  Reliance, believing 1000 level to be mouth watering level, against my own technical reading. Result was that on 18th Aug the scrip slid down to 962.4 and from there bounced back to  997.4 on 20th Aug. So much profit could have been realized if only I had not got over-awed by  name of the company. While trading stock futures it is absolutely imperative not to get carried away by fundamentals of a company.  In fact  12 months back I had laid down certain Laws to be observed during trading in stock market. In this trade I violated Law #3 enunciated in this post of mine http://www.stockezy.com/opinions/3514/Starter-Kit-For-Newbie-Investors--Laws-of-Nature/

Finally on 30th and 31st Aug  when Reliance made a low of 920.9 we had to resort to buying one lot each of Reliance Sept 1000 and 980 Call options. This was to facilitate easy exit from the combined  positions of Futures and options. That was achieved and today in trading  Reliance finally made a day high of 1004, revisiting our buy price level.

The Truth About Backlinks Inner Circle Review

For the World  Wide Web, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is like  water to a plant. For  SEO work to be successful on a website, links  need to go in and out of  that website. Back links are also referred to  as inbound links and are  submitted to other sites. There is a company  that knows the importance  of links and according to Backlinks Inner Circle Review, they do this  well.


They stress the importance of back links to reach higher  rankings in  search engines. The more links on other websites, the more  credibility  with search engines and that means the higher one will be  seen in  search engine results. This company will recommend a marketing  strategy  that includes efforts to obtain more popularity for links.


They  build back links that are of quality information and that are  related  to the company website. Search engines will not place a lot of  weight on  links that are not related to the specific website. There is  no use  linking to car tires when your website is all about speedboats. A  site  with only a small number of quality back links, will position  itself  higher for targeted keywords. Sites with several unrelated links  will  not have a good ratings. This is where the experts will assist a  company  to get the keywords and links right.


There are various ways in  which they will assist a company to obtain  back links for their website.  Some of these methods are done free  while others will cost money. The  free options are to place the website  on a large number of directories  that are available on the Internet.  They have knowledge of the reputable  directory sites and will use those  to ensure the website will have  search engine favor.


Link exchange is another method that they  will apply to a company  website. This is when a web master creates a  link on a website, which  points to other webmasters. One-way links hold  more advantages that  two-way search engines will ignore links and  irrelevant links.  Webmasters usually have several websites and some are  not even related  to the other.


Backlink Inner Circle is aware of  this and will irradiate any  problems relating to IP clashes. This  happens when the same IP is  picked up more than once on the same  website. A search engine will  regard this as duplication and ignore one  or all of these links.


One of the best ways to build links is to  use an article directory.  Such a directory contains a huge amount of  articles. It allows one to  publish articles together with links in a  resource box. These  directories ask for quality content, they approve  and publish the  content and in return provide a suitable category for  the website and  provide the links.


The newest method is to post  discussions in forums and blogs. Most  often, these websites already  carry extremely successful links and SEO  optimization, therefore the  moment a company name appears in one of  these pages, it will be  displayed very high in search engine results. Backlinks Inner Circle  knows this too well and is available to assist  companies in all of the  above-mentioned strategies.

Any Place Left For US Investors To Hide? - Impending Bond Bubble Burst

Bond markets and bullion markets are considered as safe haven for risk averse investors. For risk tolerant investors stock markets and forex markets are supposed to be the places to be in. But when risks in stock markets increase to untenable and unbearable levels, even the risk tolerant investors seek out the safety of bond markets and bullion markets. This action of investors is often described eloquently as "flight to safety".

Now there is disaster lurking around the corner in US bond market in the shape of a bubble burst. Abysmally low interest rate regime coupled with high demand for bond papers has resulted in high price of bond with extremely low yield. Hence investors chasing some decent yield end up buying high-yield-junk bonds. This has caused a bubble like situation in US Bond Market. The last bastion of safety for US investors is on the verge of a collapse. Will there be no place for US investors to hide?

I have no ready answer to offer for US investors. They surely will have some Plan B tucked up their proverbial sleeves. After all they are the most sophisticated and evolved investors on this planet with the deepest pockets. But of late in US stock markets they have been behaving like small school children. Almost everyday some weekly economic data or the other is churned out from various US organisations. And everyday US investors act according to the sentiment of the data. That means if the data is negative they sell off in stock market and vice versa. Hence you have two days of gain and on third day all your gains are erased because that day some weekly data is negative in tone.

It is a sad commentary on the sophistication of supposedly the most evolved financial wizards and savvy investors of the world. Then tell me how are they any different from investors of Banana Republics? Going forward if that is how US stock markets are going to keep behaving, it will not be long before other markets stop looking for direction from US markets. That will be the stepping stone to the oft quoted concept of  "Decoupling"

Stock Futures Trading Made Ezy - Patni Computers

On 30 July 2010, my subscribers at www.stockezy.com traded Patni and made Rs 3000/3500. Again today they could make profit in a fresh trade in Patni Computers. Profit booked in this new position today ranged from Rs 3500/- to Rs 6000/-. Yet another trade where my subscribers smartly made reasonable profit from a long position(ie Buy position) in conditions of depressingly negative market sentiments. This again has been possible by calculating the point of bounce with Fibonacci golden ratios. Stock Futures trading done in very simple manner!!

Patni Computer August Futures was recommended by me on 10th August to be bought at 450/452. Target given was 478. However today after 2 trading days I gave a call to book profit at 460. You will appreciate that market conditions were very negative in early trade and so I thought it wise to lock profit, though small. And there I was proven wrong. Patni raced off to make day high of 483.8, even surpassing my initial given target of 478. But I think it is better to be safe in this market than be sorry. My subscribers could make profit, in a falling market, trading stock futures and that is more important. Here is the link to details of actual trading with time stamp : http://www.stockezy.com/opinions/7047/buy-patni-aug-futures/ .

With today's concluded trade in Patni, we are still maintaining our tradition of 100% success in our exclusive club of futures trading at Stockezy. This success rate is being maintained for the last 3 months. I wonder how many more successful trades in stock futures are required for retail investors to realize that there is money to be made in trading stock futures in small simple ways!!! Stockezy provides this wonderful opportunity to make good money for a very small subscription amount, and that needs to be tapped by one and all.
