Watch Your Stock Prices Rise With Viral Publicity Marketing

By James Scott

Why do people go to the movies or ride roller-coasters or watch romantic films or comedies? Why do people seek out the temporary release of alcohol or pharmaceutical and illegal barbiturates? People long for that ancient connection with their emotions.

People are desperate to 'feel' something, anything and as publicists it's part of our employ to tangle with the emotions to trigger a response. We are trying to trigger a natural reaction from a willing candidate. Man has proven over and over again that they will buy anything so long as it hits on the emotional pressure points.

The public decides to buy cars, houses and cloths all based on emotion. How does the ad or article make you feel when your emotions become tangled with this content? What elements are missing in the target consumer psyche and how can we fill that void while simultaneously branding our client's product and calling the candidate to action?

We fondle with the hopelessness, sadness, fears and aspirations for one important reason, to slowly pull the target market in on behalf of our client so that when they feel sad, hopeless, desperate or in need, our client's 'brand' comes to mind as the automatic answer to all of these issues.

Today's online publicity marketer must have a solid comprehension of the target market's emotional element, what makes them happy, sad, stressed etc in order to reap the full rewards of a campaign.

You must pay attention to the colors, voiceover tone, background music, video clip and image choice, vocabulary and on screen text with webmercials and take into consideration similar aspects when writing articles or creating ads.

These elements abase the guard of the individual which allows a message to be imbedded in the mind. This is done with music, film, political promotions and yes, even ads.

At the end of the day, the positive afteraffect is what keeps the client coming back and if the ballyhoo ingredients can cradle a sort of post hypnotic cue that calls a client to action, then the needs of the client are being met with branding and sale conversion and the emotional needs of the customer are being taken care of as well. This is one of the few times in life that there is truly a win/win relationship. - 23167

Interesting Real Estate Investment Opportunities

By Bryant Whitney

When you think about the economy and it's constant up and down status, it's funny how the "experts" seem to come out of the woodwork to talk about a real estate investment. While we're all gasping for air and looking for a way out, they seemingly have the answer. Regardless, the economy will continue to do what it will no matter what they predict and cash homes buyers will be hanging on every word.

When you look back at the first quarter of the year, there was a steep decline in retail values of the housing market that reached 60%. The next two quarters saw slight gains, but the whole process was slowed. Now realtors believe there will be a slow but steady rise in home values. Oddly enough they believe its smooth sailing from here on out.

So do you think these guys and gals are really in touch with reality? The first thing you have to think about is the supply and demand factor. It's really easy to understand and it all starts with the price being predicated on availability. Around the spring of 2007, potential buyers had begun to hold back. The winter brought about over-flated prices, but tended to level off. Once the 2nd quarter came about buyers weren't worried about all the usual cautionary considerations. Needless to say it was a sobering time for many, and now deflation seems to be the trend if you're looking for a real estate investment.

The usual time to move for most families is during summer break. The kids are out of school, and the transition becomes much easier. So when people purchase homes during this time, it's no surprise that the prices rise, even if it's only minimal.

When there was a greater demand, banks held up the flow of foreclosures that hit the market. Since a sizeable percentage of the foreclosures were held back, you would think the values across the board would fall. This is exactly what happened, and it was something experienced by the entire market. What it came down to is that the supply was lower, and the demand was higher for cash homes buyers.

So what exactly does this mean for the future? Well, once school rolled around, September brought about several foreclosures. Even though things looked great just one month prior, the supply started growing and the demand was falling short. Right now you will find a healthy supply of foreclosures that haven't even been processed. So you can most likely see much of the same until next spring.

Furthermore, the profiles of families in default have evolved from the subprime arena to "A paper" loans to families who could, in fact, stay in their homes but will opt out for financially sound reasons. These are folks who are a bit more sophisticated and may have larger household incomes than the prior group. Many could still make their payments but choose to get out from under the huge debt that the market has dealt them. Many families see a quarter million dollar sink hole (or more) and will choose to short sell the home, wait 2 years and buy the same home for much, much less. Notwithstanding the moral dilemma, many find that it just makes good economic sense.

The foregoing scenario presents some interesting real estate investment opportunities for the cash home buyer. That's why we buy homes all over the United States during these market conditions. While the market trend may not be as favorable for the retail buyer, cash homes buyers in most U.S. markets are making insane profits by skillfully applying the simple principle of "supply and demand. - 23167

Investment Newsletter: A Guide To The Money Market And Strategic Investing

By Mathew Fagundes

I have been working in the oil and gas industry for a couple of years now. The pay is good but the job can be very dangerous. One day, I had an accident that almost took my life. It was then that I realized that I needed to do something about the money I earn. Working in an offshore oil field for the rest of my life is not something that I want long term, even if the pay is good. I know I have to do something with the money that I am earning now so that I can retire early and spend more time with my wife and my twins.

I am thinking of investing in the stock market to achieve my financial goals; this is one of the investment strategies I am considering. But the problem is, I have no idea how the stock market works. I don't watch business programs nore read the business section in the papers. So what I did was to ask my friends and family if they can help me out with my problem. My cousin suggested that I start looking for information such as an investment newsletter or guide over the internet just to get a feel of what the stock market is all about.

I was not really Internet savvy so I asked my wife to teach me about the Internet and together we researched online for a possible investment strategy we could make. My wife and I stumbled upon My Strategic Forecast after days of research. We were presented with many options as there were a number of companies providing investment newsletters and stock market guides; however we decided to choose My Startegic Forecast because we were impressed with the technology they use in gathering data.

Although I am not familiar with investing, I am aware that movements in the price of oil are affected by a lot of things, such as political problems, environmental issues, and even demand and supply. I think that these factors are also taken into consideration in the stock market. In terms of innovation in the forecasting system, I am completely blown away by My Strategic Forecast's technology. Other than the technical analysis, the company also incorporates political conditions, geopolitical factors, economic trends as well as solar-geophysical data.

The low monthly fee of My Strategic Forecast made me seal the deal. Since other investment companies charge prohibitive fees, the $99 monthly subscription for My Strategic Forecast really made the difference. Aside from investment newsletters, I also get regular alerts on my e-mail about good stocks to invest on. In just six months of subscribing, I already made a lot of money. I am really thankful because I am closer to reaching my financial goals; I will be able to retire early and at the same time, provide the needs of my family. - 23167

What Are LEAP Options?

By Ahmad Hassam

Great Britain was finding it difficult to stay within the tight exchange rate band set by the European Monetary Union (EMU) in the early'90s. One person who made history with options was George Soros who is famously known as the man who broke the Bank of England.

George Soros is a famous name in the world of investing. He had always believed in contrarian investing. Contrarian investing means doing exactly opposite of what the crowd is doing. George Soros had this intuition that the Bank of England would be forced to devalue British Pound. So he bought call options on German Marks and put options on British Pound. He made a bet of $10 Billion by leveraging all the assets in his hedge fund.

Bank of England had made a number of public statements regarding its intention of staying within the EMU. When George Soros made his bet on the intrinsic weakness of British Pound, other currency speculators followed suit and placed their bets too. This build up an immense selling pressure on the British Pound! Bank of England was brought to its knees as it was unable to sustain the immense selling pressure on the British Pound within a few days of the speculative attack on the British Pound. Bank of England was forced to devalue British Pound in a few short days.

When you a strong intuition, you should go for the big kill. George Soros made a cool $1 Billion profit on his bet in a matter of a few days. Can you make such a bet? Maybe not but this one example show the immense power options have if used correctly. Options are risky; there should be no doubt about it.

Trading options has become hot in recent years especially after the recent stock market crash. What are options? Options derive their value from the underlying asset or security on which the options contract is based. Options contract give you the right to buy or sell an underlying security like stocks, futures, commodities or currencies at a price before a certain date. This price is known as the Strike Price. This date is known as the Expiry Date. However, in European Style options you can only buy or sell on the expiry date not before that. Most people who trade options lose money, plain and simple.

Trading options without training is risky. You need to learn the Options Greeks. One of the important things that you need to learn while trading options is the importance of time factor. Time factor is very important when valuing an option. Further out the options contract is from expiration, you will have to pay a higher premium. As the options contract approaches the expiration date and if it is out of money, it loses its value very fast.

LEAP options are basically long term options. Leap options can help you profit over the long haul. You can use LEAP options in options strategies like the covered calls, straddles, spreads and so on. LEAP stands for long term equity anticipation. It basically means that the option is much like the regular option except that the timeframe to expire is greater than 1 year.

LEAP options can be incredibly profitable if used correctly. However, LEAP options are risky because the option writer usually demands a hefty premium for taking on the long term risk. The buyer of the LEAP options has the right to exercise the option prior to expiration should the price of the underlying stock move in the money. Long timeframe means that the possibility of the LEAP options moving in the money is always high hence a high LEAP options premium.

See, closer the out of money option is to expiration, faster its value drops. What this means is that the buyer of the options loses the premium that was paid for getting the right to buy or sell the underlying security. LEAP options can be a great trading vehicle for swing traders as they mitigate some of the time decay that is inherent in short term options. - 23167
