Education
Even though the reality of investing is often extremely disappointing or worse, the literature in the field can be outstanding. There is no shortage of excellent books, or of journalistic and academic writing. In this article, we’ll take a look at Peter Lynch’s “One Up on Wall Street” and get an overview of the kind of timeless advice that he provides.

Many people think of the stock market when they think of options. However, the foreign exchange market also offers the opportunity to trade these unique derivatives. Options give retail traders many opportunities to limit risk and increase profit. Here we discuss what options are, how they are used and which strategies you can use to profit.
Types of Forex Options
There are two primary types of options available to retail forex traders. The most common is the traditional call/put option, which works much like the respective stock option. The other alternative is “single payment option trading” – or SPOT – which gives traders more flexibility.

Dear Nancy;
I have a low seven-figure investment portfolio and am about to retire. Is it better for me to continue to own a ladder of individual bonds and some 15 to 20 dividend paying stocks, or to move to a pure ETF portfolio such as a ZMI or XTR with a small postion in something like a U.S. dividend ETF and an international dividend ETF in order to get income going forward and maintain my preferred balance of stocks and bonds, which is similar to that held by ZMI or XTR?

Don

Value investing is the strategy that made Warren Buffett a multibillionaire. It’s the secret behind how to consistently buy low and sell high in the stock market. And it has been well-known as a long-term market-trouncing strategy for nearly a century. It’s so good, in fact, that even those who believe that the market is efficient acknowledge an “anomaly” associated with this type of investing that makes it likely to outperform.

From an investment strategy standpoint, traditional exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are designed to track indexes. ETFs are available in hundreds of varieties, tracking nearly every index you can imagine; they offer all of the benefits associated with index mutual funds, including low turnover, low cost and broad diversification, plus their expense ratios are significantly lower. While passive investing is a popular strategy among ETF investors, it isn’t the only strategy. Here we explore ETF investment strategies to provide additional insight into how investors are using these innovative instruments.

Although they would not admit it, most portfolio managers take a core/satellite approach when managing their equity portfolios. The part of the portfolio that might mirror the overall market could be considered the “core” and the part of the portfolio that deviates from the overall market can be considered the “satellite” portion. When you hear portfolio managers say they are trading around their “core” bank holdings – or they are currently overweight oil stocks and underweight technology stocks, or they have a small cap tilt to their portfolios – they are essentially taking the core/satellite approach. But what about the average investor? Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) provide an easy way of implementing a core/satellite approach. We provide 10 reasons why this strategy can trump securities-only portfolio management strategies.

Don

. Avoid buying right when the market opens – I’ve listed this rule first, because it’s a quick, easy fix. All you have to do is avoid initiating a new trade during the first half-hour the market is open— it’s that simple. The time between 9:30 and 10 a.m. is chaotic. It’s when the market is searching for direction and emotions are running wild. That’s why it’s important to sit back and watch to see what develops. This will set the tone for the rest of you trading moves throughout the day…

Are you suffering from IPO envy? Symptoms include sweaty palms, a racing heart and a gnawing feeling that everyone but you is cashing in on the latest get-rich-quick stock.
With initial public offerings such as LinkedIn, (LNKD-N72.830.821.14%) Zipcar (ZIP-Q20.010.663.41%) and Yandex (YNDX-Q31.82-0.97-2.95%) flying out of the gate on their first day of trading, it’s easy to feel like you’re being left behind. It doesn’t help when the news media trumpet every IPO with banner headlines and speculation about which company – Facebook? Twitter? Groupon? – will be next.

Buy high, sell low. It sounds so easy but it’s so tough to execute on a consistent basis. This article will highlight one trading strategy that’s been working like a charm over the past months.
Over the past three months, the stock market has had peaks and valleys but hasn’t made any real net progress. Stocks became overbought (just look at the VIX in late February and late April) a couple of times and corrected, but QE2 has kept a floor beneath prices and spurred new advances.
