Casual Articles - Using Bollinger Bands for Trading Large Cap Stocks
In 2003, I moved to Little Rock, AR, and I was amazed with how helpful my new property manager was. If you haven't moved recently, you may have forgotten all the joy associated with having to arrange to shut off your utilities, phone, cable, etc. and arrange to have them hooked up at your new location. Then, you have to deal with mail forwarding, finding new service providers for all aspects of your life, and then deal with the move itself. When I made a cross-country move in 1998 from MA to TX, I had the luxury of being able to quit my job and focus solely on the move and on selling unwanted items. Now, as a solo business owner, I no longer have that luxury, and the processed caused a meltdown or two.However, my saving grace was my property manager.. The information and resources that she had available has greatly decreased the amount of t

When you're dealing with debt, one of the most stressful things can be constant phone calls and letters from debt collectors. Fortunately, there are a number of types of protection and techniques to help you deal with them.Guidelines have been set for what debt collectors are allowed to do (and not allowed to do) in attempts to collect outstanding debts. These rules are set out in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. For example, they can't call before 8:00am or after 9:00pm or continue to make harassing phone calls if you have requested they stop.You can find the full text of the FDCPA at the following website:http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fdcpa/fdcpact.htm#801As a result, you've got a few options. The simplest is to simply not answer the call. Most people have caller ID on their phones these days, and if you don't rec
Before we begin, let me explain the type of trading done at http://livingonlargecaps.blogspot.com. We trade large cap stocks, we generally hold stocks for less than two months, and make about 3-5% on an average trade. Done over and over again throughout the year, we have made over 50% annual returns for the last three years.
Now lets discuss what the Bollinger Band (BB) is. In its standard usage, the BB is derived from taking the 20 day moving average of the stock price. And then adding and subtracting two standard deviations of that stock price and placing a line above the moving average and below the moving average. Now without having to re-visit my statistics classes of some 25 years ago, I will try to clarify a standard deviation. It is simply a measurement of how far the price has deviated above or below the moving average. A stock going through a particularly volatile patch, will see its BB's expand, and a stock going through a calm period, will see them contract.
BB's are available on most charting software. Yahoo has them on their technical analysis charts, as do most other web sites that are dedicated to technical analysis. If you are unfamiliar with them I urge you to right now, go experiment with them, using a few stocks and market indicators like the Dow, or Nasdaq.

When you're ready to start doing Joint Ventures, you should look at opportunities that fit the following criteria:1. There should be no cost or risk to you and it should not involve a lot of time, and definitely no selling.2. The deals should be able to create enough money per deal to be worth your time and effort.3. You should only work with people you like and trust, who take action and are reliable. Don't deal with whiners, losers or flakes.4. Look at the turn-around time. If you're bringing leads to realtors or financial planners (insurance salespeople), for example, their deals generally take a long time and often fall apart, whereas certain deals are time sensitive (like a seminar) and people have to make fast decision, so the deal happens or it doesn't in a shorter period of time. We want high-return, no risk (to EIT

No matter how confident you may be, the experience of entering a room full of strangers can be nerve-racking and leave you grasping for something to say. I believe the best route is actually the easiest – we all know that people like talking about themselves, so why not ask questions designed to draw them out a little more than standard shop talk?Here are a selection I have found to be useful in establishing a connection with someone who at first glance appears to have nothing in common with me at all.1. How did you come to be in your line of work? Often people fall into their job through a chance encounter or a stroke of luck – these stories are often interesting, and recounting them will bring your new contact alive in a way that a straightforward discussion about current business never does.2.

Organizing a really big fundraising extravaganza can be hard in the pockets. As they say in order to raise big money, you’ve got to have the money and other resources to raise it. This is kinda hard for organizations that do not have the funds yet to organize a big charity event. This is especially true with those that are newly established and those that have yet to get financial supporters from the outside.Still, with a little bit of innovation and a lot of resourcefulness, one can actually raise funds without having to host a big event. Here are some ways to create fundraising opportunities and to make it work for you.Get people to work with youNetworking is one way to reach the people that you would have reached should you have the money to organize a charity dinner.

If you are familiar with technical analysis, and use indicators such as the RSI or stochastic. You know one of the unique things about the BB's is they are placed right on the stock charts. They are viewed in the context of the actual price movements. In fact, for me, they define the stock chart. Stock charts tell me way more about future movement with the BB placed on them. I rarely do any analysis without them, except for perhaps an initial viewing of a stock chart I am considering for watch list placement. BB's therefore do not give you a number, like most other indicators, they don't tell you an overbought or oversold condition. They just provide a visual, a story, of where a stock has been. Therefor you have to interpret.
But what can be learned is crucial, to guessing what will happen next. BB's can help you predict price movements, like no other tool. The trick is, to know what to look for. In other articles I will present what I require a price pattern to look like before I even consider it. But for this article, realize that price patterns need to be structured, calm, heading up, down or flat. But they can't be erratic. Erratic price patterns are never worth trading..
If the upper band and the lower band are not moving in unison then the pattern is erratic. There is one exception to this rule, and that is at the beginning of a powerful up or down move. Remember, the bands tell you where the price will fall in relative to the 20 day moving average. Well, if a powerfu
