Chapter 7: Aspects Of The Trade

You are now versed in the functionality of the stock market and have decided that you are willing to accept the risk factors involved. However, you want to know everything you can about balancing that risk with intelligent investment options. How can you be sure that the risks you take are more likely to be rewarding in the long run than destructive?

Long and Short

One of the most important parts of making money on the stock market is to determine your position. The long position is basically the purchasing position – you are about to take on a long-term commitment for ownership of some stock, security, or other traded commodity. The short position, by contrast, is the selling position – you are shortly going to dispose of the same sort of ownership and any responsibility toward it.

The best time to take up the long position is when stock prices are low. This will get you into the market at a reasonable price and increase your chances for profitability as new offerings go up in price and older investment options recover or rebound. In fact, as others take the long position and purchase at the same time you do, this will actually drive the value of securities up through the standard rule of supply and demand, causing the beginning of what could be a bull market.

You may equate this with the end of the month at a car dealership. The prices tend to drop on any cars left on the lot for sale, and the dealer is more often willing to bargain because he or she wants less inventory on the lot. Likewise, when stock prices are low, some will panic and dump all of their holdings at these low prices, thinking that their shares will never recover the value. This can only be of assistance to you.

When prices are high, it is likely time to turn around and sell your shares to bring in a profit, not losing anything on unrealized gain (profit that cannot be counted in liquid assets or cash because it is still invested in a volatile stock option). You should never sell for a price that is below your cost, as this brings negative equity and loss of funds. You should always sell for the greatest amount of profit that you feel is safe.

In other words, if you buy a security at fifteen dollars per share, and it quickly rises to twenty-five dollars per share, you may very well feel that it could hit thirty dollars per share within a week. However, you must determine if you are willing to risk losing your already secured earnings of ten dollars per share to wait that long, should the price actually fall, so you may decide to sell at the current high price.

Google, being the undisputable leader in search engines from then until now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search engines.

Most especially now that the company is public property. In order to keep the shareholders and users of its engines happy, the quality of the returned results are given extreme importance.

For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may get you banned and even have your account terminated. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.

So for those who are thinking of getting a career in Adsense, do not just think of the strategies you will be using to generate more earnings. Consider some things first before you actually get involved.

Hidden texts. Filling your advertisement page with texts to small to read, has the same color as the background and using css for the sole purpose of loading them with rich keywords content and copy will earn you a penalty award that is given to those who are hiding links.

Page cloaking. There is a common practice of using browser or bot sniffers to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see. Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a definite no-no. This is tricking them to click on something that you want but they may not want to go to.

Multiple submissions. Submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages is another thing to stay away from. For example, trying to submit a URL of an Adsense as two separate URL’s is the same as inviting trouble and even termination.

Likewise, this is a reason to avoid auto submitters for those who are receiving submissions. Better check first if your domain is submitted already an a certain search engine before you try to submit to it again. If you see it there, then move on. No point contemplating whether to try and submit there again.

Link farms. Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense to. The search engines know that you cannot control your links in. But you can certainly control what you link to. Link farming has always been a rotten apple in the eyes of search engines, especially Google. That is reason enough to try and avoid them. Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make them higher than that.

Nobody likes rejection or criticism.

It absolutely terrifies most people and that's why many of them will never get anywhere in business or in life. No matter what you do you run the risk of being criticized or rejected by other people.

Every single time you create an article, newsletter, eCourse or report you put yourself in a position for someone to criticize you. That one fact alone stops most people in their tracks before they can even start because everybody (on some level) wants to be accepted.

Not everyone is going to like what you put out there so you need to come to terms with that right now and understand that you're not alone. Even the gurus get a little nervous when they release something to the masses. You just have to be willing to push through that fear.

You'll soon start to realize (as I did) that the majority of people will appreciate your efforts and look to encourage you on to bigger and better things. Forget the

losers who have nothing better to do than to tear someone else down so they can feel taller.

Success comes to those who plan for it and are bold enough to go after it no matter who stands in their way. Plan for success then boldly move forward with your plan no matter what.

I'm not the greatest writer in the world but at the same time, I don't ask anyone for permission to write and be successful at it.

Don't ask for permission to succeed and don't worry about how people will react to your work. As long as you take the time to make sure you do your best, you have reason to be proud of yourself.

Everyone had to start somewhere and the people who would criticize you the harshest only want to keep you down so you don't ever develop the skills needed to compete with them. Ignore them and keep moving forward towards your goals.

Forgiving frees up the soul. It makes a person feel lighter inside. It is as if a big iron ball chained around your legs has been taken away. Try and forgive people who did wrong to you and you will immediately feel lighter. This will renew your energy to start again. You will be able to face your problems with fewer worries in your mind. Also, you must learn to forgive yourself. One reason why people cannot move on is because they continue to blame themselves for their failure.

Catch the momentum and stay adrift.

Motivation is like the high wind which eagles seek out and ride. So once you feel the spark of energy again, you must grab it and never let go again. And to keep it, you must also feed it. Know what makes you motivated and keep adding fuel to it. This is like adding dry wood to fire in order to keep it burning.

Listen to motivating music.

Good music lifts up the soul. It makes one access the inner cores of his being. Music can also change the mood of the listener. It can induce joy, fear, sadness, and motivation. So when you are feeling discouraged, you should find music with lively and happy tunes. This will make you feel instantly better. Of course, you can listen to any genre of your choice. It can be Jazz, Blues, Pop, or Country. However, studies show that classical music has the best effect on people’s mood.

Read motivating quotes.

There is power in words. A good writer knows this and makes use of his skills to instill different emotions upon the reader. A good writer can make someone feel sad, happy, perplexed, and motivated. So when you are feeling down, try looking for ‘inspirational quotes’ on the internet. Once you find a good one, you can keep it for future reference.

Watch classic fairy tales.

Nobody wants to live in a world of lies and fairy tales. However, the unrealistic stories of Disney’s old time classics are actually surprisingly motivating. The life of Snow White, Belle, and Ariel can really move someone’s heart. Also, their ‘happily ever after’ ending makes one feel contented and happy inside. It can be all that you need to get back on track.

Avoid discouraging news.

Of course, you always need to stay informed about the latest news. News about the weather report for example is something you cannot do without. These are important. What you really want to avoid are the depressing ones. News about murder, rape, and terrorism are some of the things which you can ignore for a while during your down times. You already have enough going on in your mind so try and avoid things that can make you worry more.

Attend spiritual retreats regularly.

Events like this one are usually organized by religious groups. If you belong to any, it will be easier to find a one. You can also ask your psychologist or your consultant about any spiritual retreats they organize. The idea may sound a bit off to you at first but joining a retreat can really make one feel invigorated and refreshed.

Spend time with your other interests.

Think of your other interests as your little escapes. Whenever you are feeling tired about your work or studies, take time to stop for a while and spend time enjoying your other interests in life. Maybe you like ski boarding, painting, fishing, or travelling? Do not neglect yourself. Having these little escapes will make you feel refreshed and renewed. When you come back, you will be stronger and energized.
