Obama and McCain - Does Wall Street Know Who Could Bring Back Market Confidence?

by: Dominic Mazzone

Wall Street Exposed Election campaigns are in high gear right now and everyone has an opinion on just about everything when it comes to which candidate would be better for who and what. I lost faith in the common sense of the average voter, not just in the United States but pretty much across the world. What I am finding very curious, is the possibility that many people haven't realized that that the party platforms aren't the same as they were 20 years ago. Little do they know that the platforms have changed right under their nose. One of the greatest examples of this is the never ending pigeon holing claiming that Republicans are good for business and Wall Street while keeping the government small, and the Democrats are anti-business and will spell doom for Wall Street while expanding the government to goliath proportions. In full disclosure, I usually have views that seem a bit more republican in nature but since I didn't disable the reasoning portion of my cerebrum for the last 8 years, I have views that are based on rational judgment instead of a bias based on a political party.

No matter what you think a party represents, one must ask themselves which presidential candidate would be best suited to carry the United States out of the dilemma we now face. If you breakdown the dire issues within the global economies that have shown themselves like a scene from a doomsday movie, it comes down to one very fundamental issue; who can reestablish confidence? It's so important to understand that government interventions, nationalizations, liquidity injections, and bailouts are all being done to increase confidence. Increasing confidence in the banks leads to lending, which increases confidence in businesses to do more business, which in turn increases the confidence of investors to push more money into these businesses, which then allow these businesses to hire more people who end up feeling confident enough to by products. Rinse and repeat and you now have economies humming along with a healthy amount of confidence. This was the one point that Paulson and Bernanke totally nailed when presenting the bailout package to Congress. Confidence is crushed because there is no faith in the system, and there are no government regulations or controls in place to give investors within the credit markets any confidence that things are going to be any different after the bailout. Not to mention that other countries around the world who so graciously invest in the United States need to have confidence that the U.S. Government is in control of its own markets.

So, follow and indulge me on a line of thinking. If confidence is important and, like school children, the financial world needs to know who is in charge to gain some confidence, wouldn't a little bit of government regulation be a good thing at this time? Wall Street analysts are running around yelling that Obama would be detrimental to the markets because he would enact more regulation. Wouldn't instilling some regulation tell everyone, "Yes, we know where this whole thing went wrong and we are putting measures in place to assure it doesn't happen again?" Not only are the financial institutions, its investors, and the markets as a whole trying to figure out HOW they are going to function after they have clean balance sheets from the bailout, but also WHO is going to tell them what the rules of engagement are. This needs to come from the government and a strong government at that. A word of caution on this one though; I used the word "little" when describing the amount of regulation, because it is important to get it just right or risk causing further damage by taking it too far . Also, any increase in capital gains tax would be a mistake in my opinion. However, I think investors could argue that it's better to have a healthy economy and market that you can profit from compared to what we are experiencing now. Needless to say, capital gains become a moot point when you are losing money on your investments. I think a lot of my republican colleagues are going through mental civil war on this one, but I assure you they are not alone. I am strongly against any type of regulation that interferes with the smooth natural flow of commerce, but I have to pause because the recent lesson is a game changer. The market is like a running animal right now and begging for a clear definition of its boundaries. Who is better suited to create those boundaries? McCain or Obama? At this point, it is one guess after another.

Keep this in mind. If you want to have a healthy bull market, you need to keep the bull around. The only way to do that is to start building fences. Let's just hope whoever builds the fence gets the size just right.

Make Money Selling Other People's Stuff Online

by: Shalisha Alston

Unemployment is at an all time high. Thousands of people are losing their jobs every day. People are losing their homes. Panic abounds on Wall Street. Every day people go to work and live in fear of getting laid off.

No one expects these kinds of turbulent economic circumstances, especially during profitable times. Unfortunately, what goes up must come down. The same holds true for the economy.

If you are one of thousands who have lost their job, you do not have to succumb to fear of financial insecurity. If you learn how to think outside the box, you can make money selling other people's stuff online.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to have your own website to make money selling other people's stuff online. Nor do you need to have any prior knowledge of internet marketing. The process of making money selling stuff online is very simple. You'll need 5 basic things:

1. Goals
2. Computer
3. High Speed Internet
4. An affiliate marketing forum
5. Domain Name

You need goals because in order to achieve anything, you need what is called definiteness of purpose (another word for goal). You have to know exactly what you want. So for instance, if you want to make a lot of money selling stuff online, declare exactly how much money you want to make.

A computer is a must, nothing fancy. A simple laptop will do. However, you must make sure that you have high speed internet and good basic software such as Microsoft Word or Wordperfect.

You will need high speed internet because that is how you will sell your affiliate product online. If you have a dial up, it will eat up your time. If you want to make money online, time is money.

Once you have those items in place, you will need an affiliate product to sell. Do not panic if you do not know what an affiliate product is, let alone sell one. An affiliate product is a product that you sell online on behalf of a merchant (the owner of the product).

There are 1000s upon 1000s of merchants who want and need people to promote and sell their products online. Why?

1. The internet is the fastest way to give these companies maximum exposure of their products.

2. It is cheaper for merchants to have 10 affiliates distribute their product than to pay astronomical advertising fees from conventional advertising agencies.

3. Increase in business by reaching millions of people in the quickest time possible.

For someone who does not have marketable skills, affiliate marketing is the way to go. Did you know you can write a short article promoting a product and have that product link ensure that you get the commission for the sale? That is the beauty of affiliate marketing.

Here are the benefits of affiliate marketing:

1. You do not need to store any products in your home
2. You do not need money to get started
3. You can be a high school dropout, have absolutely no skills and still make tons of money online

Affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick scheme. It does take some work, but honestly, it is very easy to earn a very good living doing this kind of work from home once you have mastered the basics.

What if you have absolutely no internet marketing experience? Do not worry. What you can do is pick a quality eBook (eBooks are dirt cheap online) that gives valuable information on how to start make money selling other people's stuff online.

In lieu of an eBook, you can join any one of many affiliate marketing forums. Some of these forums are free and others are not. What I have found is that the fee based affiliate marketing forums are the ones that take you by the hand and help you step by step selling your affiliate product online.

It is not enough to just post to a forum and wait around forever for someone to get back to you. On the contrary, fee based affiliate forums enable you to get immediate feedback to your questions and provide the necessary resources for you to start making money online immediately.

Ditch Corporate America in favor of being your own boss. You really can make money selling other people's stuff online.

Language Translation Software - Instantly Write in 75 Languages!

by: Laurianne Surchoix

In today's stressful economic times, thousands of people in America and around the world are facing the daunting reality of job losses, pay cuts, and a seemingly endless supple of bad economic news. National unemployment in the U.S. has hit a 17-year high, resulting in the layoffs of hundreds of thousands of our valuable work force.

During such a difficult period, many people are searching for ways to boost their resumes, increase their job prospects, and showcase themselves as potential employees. Employers looking to cut corners are willing to hire new applicants who present themselves as educated, efficient, and hard-working.

But how can you make yourself shine?

The first place to start is language. Being able to fluently and correctly speak the English language is a priority for a majority of employers in America. Not being fluent in the language is one of the biggest problems facing a large portion of today's unemployed workers. Bridging this language gap will prove to be the key in fighting the surmounting job losses facing the world economy.

Language problems don't only affect America's lower working class, but also employees and potential employees of virtually any industry. Making a language or grammar error during and interview or application can be the deciding factor in the decision to not hire you. Employers expect professionalism, intelligence, and attention to detail, and without proper grammar you will be unable to convey these vital traits.

Below this post you will find link to resources which can help you achieve your language and grammar capabilities. Mastering this difficult language will give you the confidence to succeed, and the ability to make yourself shine in an incredibly difficult world job market.

How bad can poor translations affect your business? Back in 2005, the Wall Street Journal ran a story about a slight mistranslation, which caused a wave of panic in currency trading. Imagine all the folks who let their stocks go for cheap because of such a simple mistake.

If your business regularly depends on foreign contacts, the importance of a translation setup that you can rely on cannot be stressed enough. When you're taking careful watch of news and events in certain countries, there's no better place to get them than local sources. Oftentimes, they will be written in some foreign language you don't have familiarity in and you'll need to rely on a translation to get the complete picture.

For accurate and detailed translations for your business, nothing beats hiring in-house personnel who are capable in both the foreign vernacular and your native tongue. However, even the best translators will falter given the task of interpreting dozens upon dozens of news pieces daily.

As such, the best language translation solutions often come as a combination of both trained language experts and a capable translation software. Good language translation applications can automatically convert news sources into English or some other language, which your human translator can then fix up to correctly reflect meaning and context. As such, your in-house employees can accomplish in a shorter time frame.

For many businesses, information is power. Good communication is crucial. Arming yourself with knowledge of the right circumstances will help you make the correct business decisions.

To use translation software is a smart decision. It's cheap and an effective way to communicate properly in the surrounding of your quiet home or on the job. Language Software offers great software for translation and language learning at decent prices. Visit: http://www.languagesoftware.net

How REITs and Real Estate Mutual Funds Play in Retirement

by: Robert Shumake

Whether you are in your 20s or 50s, you should be thinking ahead to what types of investments are going to help you when you get to retirement age. Many people choose stocks, bonds, mutual funds and any number of other commodities on the stock market in hopes they will make them enough money to live comfortably in their retirement years. But you may be wondering what the current economy is doing to your stock market investments.

If you use an online brokerage, you may have watched your investments plummet in response to the past year's market motions. You may be thinking that stocks, mutual funds and any other offering of Wall Street should be off limits. But this is not the case. You need to instead know where to invest and how to make sure you are investing in the right funds and stocks to make your money grow.

One mistake many investors make is to lump all markets together. All of the markets are not the same and they all act differently. It may be a time to look more closely at some of the markets that have a little more backbone than your previous investments. One of these markets is real estate.

Real estate mutual funds and real estate investment trusts (REITs) are an arena many people are not really sure of, but should look at as they are more solid investments thanks to the tangible property backing them up.

The first thing to know about real estate investment trusts and REITs is that they are all based on something that always has value – property. While sure property values can change and shift with the economy, property will always have value, and therefore those companies that are working with property also have a more solid foundation.

The next thing you need to know about REITs and real estate mutual funds is that they are also not just putting all of their eggs in one basket. By their very nature, REITs and real estate mutual funds are built of a number of properties, companies or real estate holdings. That means even if some of them are going through a rough patch, the others may be able to keep things on par or even still continue your overall growth of investment.

Before you purchase real estate mutual funds or REITs you need to be confident that what you are purchasing will bring about a good return on your money. To this end you need to make sure to do your research. You could do this on your own, or allow the pros to help you out. By signing up with an online brokerage company like REITBuyer.com, the first and only online brokerage that specializes in REITs and real estate mutual funds, you will have access to their research on just the investments you are interested in. From education on how to buy to the latest news in your market and hot tips so you know when to buy or sell this is the one site to have it all in the same place.

Robert Shumake's mission is to inform the public about mortgage fraud and real estate scams and to provide tips on how to avoid being a victim. "Sometimes people will commit identity theft to obtain a housing loan, sell someone else's house or take over someone else's property," says Shumake. "It is my goal to inform the public on how to protect themselves from being victims of this crime."

SBA Financing, Are they Really Closing?

by: Jeff Rauth

Perhaps you're facing a ballooning loan, found an excellent property to purchase, or need to refinance your existing loan in hopes of reducing your payment. Whatever your goals are, most people at the beginning of the loan process want to know "is this really going to get done? Am I wasting my time even contemplating this?"

We all read the papers and watch the media reports how bad it is in the banking sector. And no doubt it is bad. The commercial secondary market is dead for example. It will likely be repaired, but it will take years to get it rolling again. Most loans have to fit the "portfolio" box. Meaning the bank that funds the loan, will most likely hold onto the debt, and not sell it to Wall Street.

SBA Financing

So yes, it is bad out there for small businesses to get financing, however there are a few sectors that are still viable, i.e. that continue to close. One of those areas is SBA financing. In fact, most banks that do SBA Business Loans are pushing most of their borrowers into the SBA box.

The reason? The 90% guarantee that the government provides for banks. I.e. in case of borrower default the SBA will pay back 90% of the bank's losses. This is a huge incentive to SBA Lenders.

Of course SBA financing has been down as well. At approximately 45% in 2008 vs. 2007. 2009 has been down as well. This is due to a variety of issues, such as: many banks not wanting to lend, many others that simply cannot as they have their own problems and a major problem we see more of - business trends.

Virtually no bank in the nation will lend to a borrower that has sustained declining gross sales over the last few years. For example if your gross sales parallel the general economy you will likely not get a loan closed. Banks are looking for those businesses that were lucky enough or smart enough to figure out how to react to the economy and to continue to grow.

This alone kills probably 80% of the loan request we receive. We see many highly experienced entrepreneurs that want to increase cash flow by refinancing or get working capital to help marketing, but if they are not already in a strong position, they will likely not get their loan closed. This is often a painful and frustrating catch twenty-two for business owners.
