You have a whole bunch of advantages over these other options that will be enumerated inrepparttar 136414 following paragraphs.

The Main Benefits of Tradingrepparttar 136415 FX Spot Market:

1): FOREX isrepparttar 136416 largest financial market inrepparttar 136417 world.

With a daily trading volume of over $1.5 trillion,repparttar 136418 spot FOREX market can absorb trading sizes that dwarfrepparttar 136419 capacity of any other market. In fact, when compared withrepparttar 136420 $50 billion daily market for equities orrepparttar 136421 $30 billion futures market, it becomes quickly apparent this gives you, and millions of other FOREX traders, almost infinite trading liquidity and flexibility.

2): FOREX is a TRUE 24-hour market.

The FOREX Market never sleeps. Trading positions can be entered and exited at any moment - aroundrepparttar 136422 globe, aroundrepparttar 136423 clock, six days a week. There is no waiting for an opening bell as inrepparttar 136424 case of trading stocks. It is a 24- hour, continuous electronic (ONLINE) currency exchange that never closes. This is very desirable for you if you want to trade on a part-time basis, because you can choose when you want to trade: morning, noon or night.

3): There is never a Bear Market in FOREX.

You can have access to a seamless, mutually-inclusive (two- way) exchange of currencies. Meaning, because currencies trade in "pairs" (for example, US dollar vs. yen or US dollar vs. Swiss franc), one side of every currency pair (for example, USD/JPY - JPY = YEN) is constantly moving in relation torepparttar 136425 other. Thus, when you buy a particular currency, you are actually simultaneously sellingrepparttar 136426 other currency in that particular pair. Asrepparttar 136427 market moves, one ofrepparttar 136428 currencies will increase in value versusrepparttar 136429 other. Of course, it is up to you to chooserepparttar 136430 correct currency to be long or short. Since currency trading always involves buying one currency and selling another, there is no structural bias torepparttar 136431 market. This means you have equal potential to profit in both a rising or falling market.

4): High Leverage - up to 200:1 Leverage.

You are permitted to trade foreign currencies on a highly leveraged basis - up to 200 times your investment with some brokers. This is primarily attributed torepparttar 136432 higher levels of liquidity withinrepparttar 136433 currency markets. Standard 100,000- unit currency lots can be traded with as little as 1% margin, or $1,000. Mini FX accounts are permitted to trade with just 0.5% margin -- in other words, just $50 allows you to control a 10,000-unit currency position. Futures traders, who are accustomed to margin requirements generally equal to 5%-8% ofrepparttar 136434 contract value, will immediately recognize thatrepparttar 136435 FOREX market provides much greater leverage, and for stock traders, who must post at least 50% margin, there’s no comparison. If you’re looking for an efficient use of trading capital, this is it!

5): Price Movements Are Highly Predictable.

Although currency prices inrepparttar 136436 FX market may be volatile, they generally repeat themselves in relatively predictable cycles, creating trends. The strong trends that foreign currencies develop are a significant advantage for traders who userepparttar 136437 "technical" methods and strategies taught atrepparttar 136438 sources found in http://www.1-forex.com

The Listing Agent's Role in selling your California home

Written by Phyllis Harb


The Listing Agent’s Role in Marketing Your Home Advertising torepparttar “Public” Every home seller likes to be assured that their listing agent and or their real estate company will run ads featuring their home. Newspaper ads range from color photo ads to lots of listings reflected on a page with primarily only copy. Classified ads featuring your home are another tool. Ads may also appear in local real estate magazines and onrepparttar 136368 Internet (ideally on several sites). Of course, Realtors and their brokerages will run ads featuring your house, but not necessarily forrepparttar 136369 reasonsrepparttar 136370 seller expects. The primary motivation for advertising is to makerepparttar 136371 telephone ring. Advertising creates phone calls and some of those callers become clients ofrepparttar 136372 agents answering these calls. This builds up a pool of homebuyers looking for property in general. Multiply this by allrepparttar 136373 agents and companies who also advertise homes, and there is a large pool of homebuyers inrepparttar 136374 market at any given time – all of whom have contacted a Realtor. The agents representing those homebuyers know about your home once it is listed inrepparttar 136375 Multiple Listing Service, has been on broker preview, and because your agent is also marketing directly to these agents. Through,repparttar 136376 Multiple Listing Service (MLS),repparttar 136377 agents match up their clients (computer prospecting), with available homes, one of which may be yours. Realtors then showrepparttar 136378 selected homes to their clients, who ideally end up buying one. Although, ads do not typically sell your house directly, they create a pool of clients for Realtors; and one of these existing clients typically purchases your home. Behindrepparttar 136379 “Advertising Scene” When an Agent or their brokerage, advertise homes they have for sale, there is more than one objective. Certainly,repparttar 136380 real estate office wants to generate phone calls and sell houses, butrepparttar 136381 advertising also shows other homeowners how effectively they market their listings. This impresses not onlyrepparttar 136382 seller, but also others who may be thinking of selling their home. The advertising brings in more listings, which generate more ad calls, which produces more buyers…. Cross selling is often how your property is sold; someone calls on one home andrepparttar 136383 agent onrepparttar 136384 line tells that buyer about yours. About 5% ofrepparttar 136385 time, you and your agent will get “lucky”; and someone calling on your house may actually end up buying it. Neighborhood Announcements When you first list your home many agents send "announcements" to all ofrepparttar 136386 other houses in your neighborhood. This is typically done inrepparttar 136387 form of postcards, or letters. This too is has a double purpose: your neighbors might have friends who are looking to buy a house (but they probably would noticerepparttar 136388 for sale sign, anyway) and of course this hopefully impresses other area homeowners that might be contemplating a sale.
