Investor Relations to be Taken into Account

December 29th, 2010

There are three main reasons why the market structure is very important to IROs. These reasons are the right solutions to problems, the right IR measurements and the right locations for IR time and effort. However, we are always refraining from these. Its about time that we use the options expirations to these applications for investor relations.

In terms of investor relations, options expirations for the month were marked last week. Noting Monday October 15, there were some changes in the overall market structure in advance. We also observed how Asian, European and American markets functioned like pistons, increasing and decreasing in small increments. Market gurus and other experts tell us that these changes are manifestations of greed and fear tied to economic or credit concerns. However, this kind of explanation doesn’t really hold up under scrutiny whether investors are fixed in continual bipolar reactions or not at all.

Investors relations have quite an impact and there is a reason for that. You should know your shareholders way of thinking affects the whole thing, both on short and long term aspects. Therefore, there should be an effective means of expending effort, measuring results have to be correct and accuracy is important in answering questions.

There are other things to consider, especially with the data presented in regard to investor relations. The Regulation National Market System (Reg NMS) in many US markets has started the search for arbitrage that further extends the market centers to be placed on a global stage. It may be quite far-fetched now but the accumulating data has determined it to be easy and it doesn’t come as a surprise. It is quite significant with the level to which volume spreads among major American and European broker-dealers and even in terms of structured-products for the Asian market.

Traders have declared so many things but nowadays, in terms of equity values and investor relations, options expirations are similar to Santa Ana winds. Derivatives are always in motions and quite fluid. However, over a span of one year, increments of about 1% or 2% are played out each day. Investors may be attracted to the opportunity of gains and losses but it is difficult to measure. Its not an instant 5% to 10% but the tiny pieces are completed fast and continuously. The availability of liquidity to fundamental investors is affected by such actions and in a transactional aspect, the equity markets shuffle sellside priorities.

If you wish to be an expert in the investor relations field, it is very important that you know and internalize this kind of information. Always take these three hooks into consideration to be effective in what you are doing.

Stock reacts to events, news and even to an imbalance in the derivatives. Therefore, the answer to questions must be correct. The measure of the IR time spent also affects how the sellside shops adjust to the stock price. Measuring the activities of investor relations pertains to the response of the money to one-on-ones and calls.

The basis doesn’t solely depend on the market structure and with that, you should take a chance with these three hooks to improve investor relations.

I Lost It All Trading Iron Condors

September 1st, 2010

Hi everybody and welcome to San Jose Options. In this demonstration we will be discussing the dangers of Iron Condors. The Condor is an excellent income strategy, but there are ways to do it correctly and ways not to do it. The purpose of this article is to make every option trader aware of the risks that are involved in trading option spreads if you do not know what you are doing. In particular, trading iron condors close to expiration is very high risk and can lead to catastrophic losses to your trading capital.

In this article you’ll find an embedded video. This video is a good demonstration of how NOT to trade Iron Condors.

Specifically, this video is on trading an Iron Condor on the SPY with less than one month to go for expiration. The problem with this strategy is that the underlying symbol does not have very much time or wiggle room. Often times the option trader will bring his trade into the last week of expiration, and the underlying will be right next to the short strike which is extremely dangerous. This is a typical Iron Condor that is taught in 99% of the courses on the Internet. This is the Iron Condor that can ruin your life.

Be Warned about the Iron Condor

As this option trade nears expiration it becomes more and more risky. The Delta on the position can change extremely fast because the Gamma is extremely high. This means that the trade is outrageously volatile as it gets closer to expiration, and again, if you are near the short strike just a few days before expiration date, then you will be extremely stressed because you will be in a horrible situation. Please watch the video at the 6 minute mark to see what I am talking about.

To wind things down, I hope you have learned some new things about the Iron Condor. I hope you can see that it can make money, but it can also be very risky. Trading Condors into expiration can be very stressful. If you are interested in learning a better way to trade this option spread, then I highly recommend San Jose Options mentoring program. They have developed the best Iron Condor that I have ever seen. You won’t regret giving them a visit.

Important Information On Forex Trading Systems

April 13th, 2010

The Forex is a trading system for international currencies, similar to every country’s stock exchange system. However, the main distinction is that the Forex is massive when compared to any stock exchange. In fact, it is enormous compared to all the stock exchanges in the world combined. The Forex is bigger than all the world’s stock exchanges together, turning over more than 2 trillion dollars a day, every day.

If you open a Forex account with a good Forex trading account provider - a broker - the firm will provide you with reports on what is happening in the international currency markets. Some provide this information free of charge, other firms make a charge. The state of affairs is similar with regard to trading overheads.

Some Forex trading companies charge a fee per trade and others charge a spread or a percentage. You will have to work out which system is best for you. This is equally true of the minimum trading amount. Some firms allow a minimum trade of $100 others $1,000.

You also have to check how long your trade is valid for at minimum. Some companies insist on a 30 day minimum others demand a 48 hour minimum turn-around. If you go with a long trading period, you will not be able to take advantage of very short term swings, which is similar to day trading on the stock exchange. Day trading is not recommended by experts, because it is very risky, although it can provide good short term profits.

You can trade Forex on line or and off line, it makes no significant difference except that on line dealing is usually faster and cheaper. These are benefits, but the mechanics of the trade are basically the same. Being able to trade on line also means that you can trade from anywhere that there is an Internet access point anyplace in the world, which is cheaper than phoning your order through to your broker while you are on vacation.

Most online Forex trading systems or platforms will be ‘execution only’ services. This indicates that they will carry out your instructions, but will not offer any advice whatsoever. You can opt to work with an adviser from the brokerage firm, but that usually costs a great deal more and can slow things down too.

Whether you work with an adviser or not you will have to find a Forex broker that you can trust. If you are taking advice, you have to believe that your adviser knows much more than you do or else there is no advantage. However, the advice you will be given will probably be the Forex industry’s standard point of view. Do not expect it to be revolutionary or trend-bucking. They are not going to go out on a limb for you, in case you take legal action, although they may have put get out clauses in the agreement anyway.

However, even if you are on execution only, you will still want to work with a Forex trading company that you feel you can trust to carry out your instructions in a timely manner. If you work out and believe that right now is the time to sell the dollar against the pound, you want to trade right now and not in four hours time when the exactly right entry window has slipped past.
