We don't always know what is getting ready to rise in the stock market regarding sectors, but once they do, what are the best indicators that it is ending, in order to short?

The 2nd question is: Have you heard of trend-tracking, or trend spotting? It means looking for trends in the stock market and investing based on that (google The Wall Street Bully). If you've heard of it, do you think it is a sound strategy?

For the last couple of days I have been watching the market really close. A trend has emerged and I would like to know if it's possible somehow to spot this trend and get in on it. While not always the case the trend seems to play out with stocks under $10.00 a share. THE MOVE (example) XYZ shares are trading at $1.00 at the opening bell. Before 11:00AM-12:00PM, XYZ is up +2.0, so now XYZ shares are trading at $3.00. If you can get into the stock at $1.25 - $1.50 money can be made. Purchase 500 shares @ $1.00 = $500. Stock increases to $3.00. 500 shares x $3.00 =$1,500. Subtract you initial purchase price of $500 and trading fees and you come out with $980.00. Of couse the numbers are examples only, but many stocks are gaining ($1.0 - $2.0). By the end of the day the stock is back to it's opening price and you never hear from the stock again. Could the trend be picked up in Pre-Market Activity? Thanks So using free stock tracking tools online, how can one pick up on the move? Thanks

This seems to be a new trend. It seems that insurance companies are canceling Homeowner's policies of their customers who are selling their homes! Once the client has to move out to their new home the insurance company cancels the policy on the home that's still for sale. This is being done even if the customer has been a client for over 30 years and is using that company for the new home! Sellers are having a rough enough time with the real estate market these days! What can be done about this? Also suppose the seller decides not to sell but keep the home as a vacation spot? Are second homes being uninsured also?

Currently at the time of writing I am 18 years of age and I have been practicing stock, commodity and currency trading in several different practice accounts. What I have discovered is that I am best at currency trading and I make the most money out of trading that way. With stocks and commodities I have had moderate successes but I'm better at FX trading than anything else and I've learned a lot too. I also know that currency tends to trend long term such as a few months to a few years which is where currency options are best suited. Spot-forex trading on the other hand is traded on margin and is best suited to short term trading of the FX markets. I have only had practice trading FX in spot-forex and spread betting, both of which had a return of several hundred percent. What I would like to know is what is the best way to trade forex out of currency options, spread betting or spot FX, and which is best suited to a UK resident to gain wealth? Please help/advise. Thanks. P.S. Sorry its so long.

Lots of people seem to be interested in this question...so here goes... Well the simple answer is no, the longer answer is a little more complex! Hair straighteners have been on the market for well over 10 years and have seen various trends and technological developments. As improvements were made, women continually upgraded their selection of hair styling tools in order to acheive the right look. It is certainly not uncommon for most women to have bought several brands of straighteners and curling irons over the years. In 2000 a Company came along that was change to the world of styling tools forever. ghd started small, very small in fact but quickly grew to become the market leading straightener and a recognised brand amongst most women. So how did it all happen? The original ghd straightener http://www.greathairdirect.com was years ahead of the competiton back in 2000. Irons at that time tended to be aluminimum plates and many used steam to try and acheive the right look. The key behind the superior performnace of the ghd was down to 3 main factors. 1.ghd were the first to recognise the use of cermaic in hair straighteners! This simple innovation has of course been subsequently copied by pretty much every manufacturer since. Ceramic is great beause it conducts heat effectively but also beause it allows the iron to slide through the hair with snagging. 2.ghd’s technology allowed the irons to heat up very quickly indeed. Back in 2000, the iron reached it’s optimium temperature in 10 seconds or so – about 10 times faster than competitor hair straighteners. More importantly the iron maintained temperature. Other models loose heat as soon as the straighteners start to be used (the hair absorbs the heat). It is the maintenance of the tempearture of the iron that is crucial. 3.No hot spots! If you placed a thermometer ( don’t try this at home) at various places on the plate of competitor straighteners you would see that the temprature varies considerably according to where you place it. the ghd straightener has a matrixed heating element embedded in it to ensure even heat distribution through the plate. That’s only part of the story though. Around that same time, Jennifer Anniston was hugely popular and a huge style icon. She was weraing her hair in a short, sleek, stright bob and guess what she loved ghd hair straighteners. A celberity following built quickly and ghd became one of the best kept secrets to acheiving looks, that had previously only be possible by your hair stylist. Momentum built, endorsement by world renowned stylists followed and then word of mouth kicked in. ghd have never looked back! Considerble investment in technology and marketing ensured that the reputation of ghd grew and grew. The range has expanded to encompass a mini styler, ideal for short hair; teh salon styler, great for long thick coarse hair and ghd thermodynamics – an award winning range of hair products to compliment the use of the straighteners. The original iron is now on it’s fourth incarnation with several improvements made with each new version that is relaesed. The new ghd mark 4 straightener (same size late as the original) has just been launched in limited quantities as part of teh pink and Christmas promotions but will be launched as an invidual item early in 2007. The Mark 4 ghd straightener raises the bar once again with big improvements on what is already a near perfect product! For information or to buy a ghd take a look at http://www.greathairdirect.com

Growing ranks of U.S. citizens are heading to street corners and home improvement store parking lots to find day-labor work usually done by illegal immigrants. The trend is most pronounced in regions where hot construction markets have collapsed, says Abel Valenzuela Jr., a professor of urban planning at the University of California-Los Angeles. "You had many, many unemployed construction workers who found themselves without any permanent or stable work," he says. "Some of them have gone on to seek employment by standing on street corners alongside immigrant workers." Day laborers gather at high-traffic spots such as busy intersections and home improvement stores, looking for pick-up work such as painting, laying bricks or landscaping. Contractors and homeowners describe the jobs and negotiate pay on the spot. Valenzuela estimates the proportion of U.S.-born day laborers has at least doubled since he released a report in 2006, when his research showed they made up 7% of the day-labor workforce. At that time, Valenzuela estimated 117,600 people were looking for or doing day-labor jobs on any given day. Illegal immigrants were 75% of the day-labor workforce; the rest were legal immigrants. "It's becoming more ethnically diverse. On the corners, I've seen white people, I've seen African Americans and a lot of Mexican Americans," says Pablo Alvarado, executive director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "When unemployment benefits run out, I expect to see more." Among the communities seeing an increase in U.S.-citizen day laborers: • Tucson. Staff members at Southside Presbyterian Church, which runs a center where workers can connect with people offering work, have been seeing more U.S.-born people looking for jobs in 2008, says church elder Josefina Ahumada."We would say, 'Hi, how are you?' and we would learn that this is somebody who just got laid off." • Arlington, Va. Construction workers recently laid off are showing up at the day-labor hiring site run by the Shirlington Employment and Education Center, says executive director Andres Tobar: "We're seeing people who hadn't come to our center before who are legally here and U.S. citizens, and who are skilled workers and can't find work." • Los Angeles. Citizens are replacing immigrant day laborers who had trouble finding work and returned to their home countries, says Antonio Bernabe, senior organizer of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles. "These are people who used to have permanent positions," he says. "It's happening everywhere." http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-11-29-citizen-day-laborers_N.htm

Foreclosure Filings Hit Record High By Kenneth Musante, CNNMoney Posted: 2008-05-14 13:00:31 NEW YORK (May 14) -- US foreclosure filings reached a record high in April rising almost 65% over the previous year and putting municipalities at risk by cutting into the value of taxed property according to a study released Wednesday. Some 243,353 households nearly one in 519 received a foreclosure filing during April according to the US Foreclosure Market Report from RealtyTrac an online marketplace that tracks foreclosed properties That was up 4% from March, and surpassed the record of 239,851 set in August 2007. It's "the highest monthly total we've seen since we began issuing the report in January 2005 said chief executive James J. Saccacio in a statement. RealtyTracs measure of foreclosure filings includes notices of default auction sales and bank repossessions According to the report, 54,574 were fully repossessed by banks in April. Property tax plunge: The record number of foreclosures added their weight to an already saturated real estate market pulling down home prices Plunging home values reduce the money that cities villages and towns collect in property taxes. In particular jeopardy are parts of Nevada California Arizona and Florida whose states maintained the highest foreclosure rates, according to RealtyTrac. "For example the city council in Vallejo Calif. - part of a metropolitan area with a foreclosure rate that ranked sixth highest in the nation in April - last week voted to have the city file for bankruptcy said Saccacio. The state of California had the second-highest foreclosure rate in the nation up 112% over the previous year and affecting about one in 204 households The top spot among states was held by Nevada which maintained a foreclosure rate 3.6 times the national average affecting about one in 146 homes. Nationwide single-family home prices have fallen 7.7% since the beginning of the year to the lowest level since at least 1982 according to the National Association of Realtors and data from real-estate broker Zip Realty showed that the number of houses on the market grew by 3.5% in April. With more homes being seized by banks, local governments also lose out on tax revenue from sale transactions. "It's really hitting the municipalities from multiple fronts said RealtyTrac marketing vice president Rick Sharga in an interview. Ten hardest hit metro areas: Cities in California and Florida have been particularly hard-hit. Areas in those states accounted for 9 of the top 10 metropolitan foreclosure rates. The California metro areas of Merced Stockton Modesto and Riverside-San Bernardino took the top four spots. In Merced one out of 66 households was hit by foreclosure in April. In Florida Cape Coral-Fort Myers came in at number 5 Port St. Lucie-Fort Pierce and Fort Lauderdale came in at numbers 9 and 10. Also making an appearance was Las Vegas a city that had seen heavy real estate speculation at number 7 with one in 116 households receiving foreclosure notices. As Congress debates plans to prop up troubled homeowners the foreclosure rate shows little signs of slowing. Delinquent mortgage payments which lead to foreclosure will likely rise over the next six to 12 months according to a key mortgage trend statistic from First American CoreLogic.
