OVERALL MARKET DIRECTION from ProForecasts: (see disclaimer)

PROFITABLE ACCURATE FORECASTS:

Sunday, November 8th, 2009: “I forecast that the market may stay here this week but the next and permanent rise up will be within the next two or three weeks. I really forecast that 11,000 is in view.”

July 2009: Stock market solidifies this range as a base for a decent rally through the summer (and then after a brief correction to solidify a new base, a rally into the Fall and a better-than-expected holidays to about 10,000+ for the Dow.) Interest rates are at their low and will start to increase by 2010. Housing market has also bottomed through this year.

November 2009: As I forecast, the market is UP 6.3%!

“DECEMBER/JANUARY EFFECT” (December 31st to January 31st): "December/January Effect" to refer generally to interesting results re: small-cap stock performance near year-end. Investors have used the term "January effect" to refer to the phenomenon in which small-cap securities often have had higher rates of return than large-cap stocks in the January months.

NIFTY FIFTY: One logical explanation is that U.S. dollar weakness is benefiting large cap companies (which often have international operations that benefit from a weak dollar) more than small cap companies. If that is the case and U.S. dollar weakness continues, we could see a repeat of "Nifty Fifty", in which market strength is largely driven by the largest cap stocks. http://seekingalpha.com/article/173536-nifty-fifty-redux-large-cap-strength-small-cap-weakness?source=hp_wc

As I’ve forecast for months, the recession is over (some economic indicators reported that too this week) and the markets will head up significantly and then the economy will follow in about three months with a marginal increase little by little into 2011.

IT IS TIME TO CONSIDER BUYING REAL ESTATE: As I’ve forecast for months, the Housing market has bottomed and house prices will slowly go up from here. Also interest rates will go up quickly from here (was just reported to be the Feds new policy). This will be the best time to have bought residential real estate and then about the third-quarter of 2010 should be the best-time to buy commercial real-estate. I don’t see any crisis in commercial real estate as so many are predicting.

The US is no longer the super-power in any way. It will be clear very soon that China and Russia are taking that role. The dollar will be replaced as the world currency. Previous allies will align with other countries and the US will have more adversaries or at least non-allies slowly in 2010 and clearly by 2011.

“But back home, Obama's bow in Japan seems to have grabbed much of the attention being paid to the trip. The gesture appears to have touched a particularly raw nerve among Obama critics who said the president has hastened America's decline as a world superpower by being too apologetic and too deferential in his dealings with other world leaders.”

ETF: TUR

FUND: ADVDX

HEALTH PLAN: It will be passed, I’m going to hesitantly forecast, before Christmas. I don’t see it going into the new year, 2010. It will have a delayed “open option” where if the system is not covering everyone well enough, the “open option” kicks in (which will be highly debated then).

ABORTION IN THE HEALTH PLAN: Will be included in the Health Care bill but abortion will handled by some separate section of the Health Care Plan by in the written plan and in the administration to oversee it.

TAXES: Taxes will go up during the Obama Administration first be Congress to not renew Bush tax cuts and second to pay for more benefits for certain groups of people.

DOLLAR will go below critical levels at 75 to probably at least 74.50 for a short time then propped back up a little.

UNEMPLOYMENT will not really improve much until June 2010.

MICROSOFT AND MURDOCH will do their web-pact and a major war will fought between them and Google with at this time no apparent winner but probably a significant gain for Bing and a slight loss to Google.

INTEREST PAYMENTS ON DEBT: “In concrete terms, an additional $500 billion a year in interest expense would total more than the combined federal budgets this year for education, energy, homeland security and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.” CBS News and CBO

COLLEGE COST INCREASES:

BUFFETT: “building deficits now can be paid down later”

10% CORRECTION: Another advisor: “10% correction”

OMG (Oh My Gosh): Each job at GM saved cost $1.5 million. Can you imagine how many jobs in growing sectors that could have made?

OMG (Oh My Gosh): On average government’s estimates for projects (including Medicaid, etc.) end up costing 700% than projected so the Health Care Reform will cost!

COMMODITIES CORNER:

CORN: “Buying corn in late October/early November and holding until mid-May is one of the best seasonal trades out there. This trade has worked 34 out of the last 40 years, for a success rate of 85%. This trade has had a 10-year win streak that began in 1998. Past performance is not indicative of future results. With more competition for corn inventories from animal feed, energy needs and foreign business, coupled with the growing cycle and harvest delays, we think being long corn makes sense. Corn prices have started to move higher with March 10’ corn advancing 25% off a 3 ½ year low made just over 2 months ago. We suggest gaining long exposure in March or May contracts via call options or long futures with option protection. We see the $3.75/3.80 level acting as support and expect prices to trade near $4.80 in Q1 next year.” www.seekingalpha.com

Manifesting is accelerated when we give. Give to others that which
you want to attract. If you want financial abundance then help
others become financially successful. If you want love, be that

ourselves actually since we are all one ...one Source.

We enjoy the guidance in Conversations With God by Neale Donald
Walsch on this point. You will find an growing refernce library in
the members area of Manifest Mastermind. For now understand that
when you help others get what they want that energy is multiplied
by the number you help and comes back to you.

While preparing to launch Manifest Mastermind we used hundreds of
inspirational messages and stared sending them to our followers on
Twitter. We quickly began to feel
the energy flowing to us. People were writing to let us know how
much they appreciated them and how they felt better just receiving
those messages.

These seems to be a paradox with our guidance on focusing our the

no paradox at all. Be alert for our messages and this will be
clarified soon.

Attraction Marketing – A Term Every Successful Marketer Understands

November 9th, 2009, Author: admin, Categories: Attraction Marketing


Brian Horwitz asked:

So you keep reading about Attraction Marketing but you can’t find an exact definition. Good thing you found this article then, right? That’s actually a little bit of attraction marketing right there. Something about the way I wrote this article made it appeal to you. In other words, you were attracted to it.

It’s not a magic trick. You were simply drawn to this article because of the way I chose to market a topic that a thousand or more other people have written about.

Attraction Marketing refers to a particular way of attracting other peple to you, your product or your service. Basically, you are injecting yourself into whatever you’re doing so that other people relate to you as a real person and not another faceless name online.

Look back at every single successful marketing campaign in recent memory and you’ll see that individuals and companies are all using some form of attraction marketing. The old days when listing advantages and hard selling used to work are over.

The most important fundamental concept of Attraction Marketing is that you are really selling yourself! Not the product. Not the service. And certainly not the company you represent. It’s all about you as a person who naturally attracts people by the unique way you talk, think, and look.

When you offer yourself and your knowledge through a successful marketing campaign and in an effort to genuinely help others, your world will turn into a steady flow of prospects, leads and sales. You can’t fake it. What you’re sending out online is a little piece of you that says “Here I am. Let’s talk”

Think about it this way: Say you’re buying something at the mall and a sales person is really pushing hard to make a sale. That kind of behavior actually repels customers. The same is true for sales people who just standing around looking bored and sales people who don’t pay attention to their personal appearance. Now imagine the last time you actually bought something because of the sales person. Did they start out with a conversation or ask if they could help you? Did they know a lot about the products they were selling? Did they sound polite even when you said you were only looking? See the difference? Even if we weren’t persuaded to buy anything at that moment, you were left with a good shopping experience. You’re also likely to come back at some point and buy something from that salesperson because he/she made the experience pleasant. In short, we are attracted to people who fulfill our basic need to be acknowledged, respected and treated well. Now apply that to online marketing. That is what Attraction Marketing is all about.

Here are some ways to apply Attraction Marketing in your own home-based online business:

Visibility – Every successful marketing campaign ever conducted made it a point to be visible to its market. That’s where the Internet and search engine optimization (SEO) comes in. After all, you need to be seen before you can help someone.

Value -Provide genuine value by giving people what they need (acknowledgment, respect and good treatment).

Leadership – Lead them through the process that will help solve their problem. Don’t push a solution on them; guide them to it. This has the double advantage of building trust and promoting satisfaction in the transaction.

I just want to give you all a chuckle at the beginning of ProForecasts by sharing that there is significant forecasts and recommendations for one stock to go DIFFERENT directions. SBUX (Starbucks) has major advisors on both sides. If a stock’s worthiness is really based on just pure logic, wouldn’t they agree on something, rofl.

OVERALL MARKET DIRECTION from ProForecasts: (see disclaimer)

I know there would be a consolidation this week. I wouldn’t call it a correction since the DOW only 2.2% from 10,000. No matter what you call it, with a great move up past a significant number (10,000), it is healthy and expected to pull-back a bit. I forecast that the market may stay here this week but the next and permanent rise up will be within the next two or three weeks. I really forecast that 11,000 is in view.

As I’ve forecast for weeks already, the recession is over (some economic indicators reported that too this week) and the markets will head up significantly and then the economy will follow in about three months with a marginal increase little by little into 2011.

As I’ve forecast for about six weeks, the Housing market has bottomed and house prices will slowly go up from here. Also interest rates will go up quickly from here (was just reported to be the Feds new policy).

Unemployment will not really improve much until the middle of June 2010.

The US is no longer the super-power in any way. It will be clear very soon that China and Russia are taking that role. The dollar will be replaced as the world currency. Previous allies will align with other countries and the US will have more adversaries or at least non-allies slowly in 2010 and clearly by 2011.

Good Idea?


Not sure if this is a good idea or not. I love that people are trying to save cheetahs, but in someone's "back yard"? Here's the article.

ACCURTAE PREDICTION LAST WEEK: DJIA 10,000 to 11,000 with some consolidation probably will happen still but the market is now on it’s way up that will even increase more when holiday sales come out good. Take some profits off the table like in Apple. Don’t trade with profits! Selling into strength would be a mistake so don’t play short.
