Law Of Attraction - Where To Find A Good School

By Barbara Remirez

The Law of Attraction is a normal law, like gravity. People ignore it by default and often pay the same consequences as falling off a building. This means that if you want to harness this power, it is necessary to experience it as it occurs in everyday life as an observer before you even attempt to steer it with your own thoughts and energy.

The Law of Attraction is always working. There isn't an off switch with this universal law. And it works whether you are aware of it or not.

This is the vibrational signal that each of us broadcasts. If you are fine tuning your signals to let others know what you are searching for to find your happiness, the vibrations coming back to you will be ones on how to find that happiness. It is about learning who you are and what you sincerely desire.

Utilizing the Law of Attraction to manifest money, is perhaps the most common application of the Law. Most people start using this universal law by trying to attract more money into their life. This, however, can also prove to be one of the more common stumbling blocks with the Law of Attraction as well. How can you learn how to begin manifesting the money that you desire?

Consider what it takes to become successful in the art of manifesting.

Think about what you really want in life. It may not be money and it may not even be for yourself. Whatever the situation, you write down your needs, visualizing them as you go. You must be precise. What make is the car? What model? What is its color? Does it have leather upholstery, or vinyl? What color is the upholstery, etc. Make it so real in your mind that when you look out of your window, you fully anticipate to see it.

It is like learning a new skill. Unless you are a genius or exceptionally gifted, you must put into practice that skill for a period until you become unconsciously competent with it.

The Law of Attraction is a means whereby you may attain success and wealth, even freedom from illness, provided you believe in it absolutely. The Universe holds all the riches we could possibly want.

To sum it up simply, you attract the images you hold in your mind, unconsciously or consciously. If you believe that good is going to come to you it will. You must be truthful to yourself in what you want and then believe that it will happen.

Makings Of A Covered Call Strategy

By Maclin Vestor

Covered call strategies have advantages and disadvantages. A covered call is essentially giving up a stocks potential for capital gains and exchanging it for income... As you probably can imagine, value investors and contrarian investors, or those who bet on a stock that they believe has underappreciated in value and is on the way down or moving sideways will generally be able to see some value in this. Income investors will love the extra yield.

Merrill Lynch quantitative strategist Richard Bernstein in his book Style Investing: Unique Insight Into Equity Management offers a very useful conceptual framework for understanding the role of earnings and earnings expectations in stocks price growth. The cycle starts from the low where contrarian investors thrive, to the top where the growth investors thrive. Although it is possible to sell deep in the money calls which may allow you to profit on anything from torpedo stocks that have peaked and are plummeting, to contrarians. Or even using higher strike price calls that can allow you to profit from contrarian to growth, generally you would probably want to target any strategy from Dogs to estimate revision. In other words, you want to target stocks that have already been in declined and have surpassed the 2nd half of their decline, to stocks that have began climbing and are less than half way through their moves. To understand this more, check out Richard Bernsteins book Style Investing: Unique Insight Into Equity Management .

Any type of investor could hypothetically use covered calls to his or her advantage. However the stronger move the strategy expects to make with the stock, the quicker you must cut your losses, and the higher strike price you must sell calls. Of course there's also someone that might operate more like Buffett and find companies that are so well managed and so undervalued and have such a good business model that the time frame you own the stock is forever. In this case, you may wish to own a stock through all of the cycles and continue to sell calls and just vary your strategies according to the cycles.

If you wish to execute a covered call you would buy 100 shares of the stock, for every call you sell. If you are using an option spread strategy, your call is still covered if you own another call at a different strike price and/or a different expiration date, but we will not get into this right now.

The thing about covered calls is that it has a few advantages 1) Most stocks will never produce an infinite return which allows you to sell high strike calls to eternal optimists when you think the stock may go up, but won't go up forever. Provided that the premium is more than the fees, you collect income. 2) One thing is certain, that time will continue - a) A stock has value based on it's value of executing the option and selling it immediately.. If a stock option has a strike price of $50 and the stock is priced at $55, this value (known as intrinsic value) is $5. b) A stock option has value based potential. That same option with $5 in intrinsic value is worth more if the stock is expected to make large moves (known as implied volatility). The reason is of course, if someone bought that option, they are more likely to pay more if they believe there is going to be a large move. The supply and demand would of course dictate that a stock expected to move higher would have a high implied volatility. c) A stock option has value based on it's time remaining. That same option with $5 intrinsic value with 6 month until expiration, obviously isn't going to be worth as much as an option with 1 month until expiration. An interesting thing results though. People aren't going to want to lock up cash to own a long term option if they could buy month by month. So time value decays very slowly early on in it's contract, and it accelerates the closer you get until expiration. So someone who buys a long term option will find that this time value does not decay very fast at first, while someone who buys an option that expires in 6 days would find that time value quickly evaporates. As such, in terms of time value alone, it is more expensive to buy 6 1 month options month at a time for 6 months than it is to buy a single 6 month option. The future is less certain to most people, so the way the LEAP(long term option) market works is it is given a high implied volatility 3) Protection against downside - Options can offer value in hedging downside risk. If you buy a put, you are insuring a loss from the current price all the way to 0. If you sell a call, you are protecting your loss to only what you paid for your option. Lets say for example you owned a 100 shares of a $50 stock. If you sold a $50 strike price with 1 month, you might receive $2 a share or $200 for it. You would be protected if the stock went from $50 to $48. However if the stock went to $46, you would still lose $200 rather than $400, but still a loss on paper. The deeper in the money the strike price is, generally the lower the Time and potential value (known as theta). However, the further out of money the option gets, the less probability the stock has of reaching it, so the theta is lower there as well. Generally at the money options will have the most theta. If you purely will be an income collector, you want stocks that stay neutral, and continue to collect the theta through covered calls. A strategy that seeks to take advantage of the cycle will sell deep in the money calls as the person expects the stock to go lower, then sell closer to in the money calls as the cycle begins to cause the stock to flatten out, and then to take advantage of appreciation sell out of the money calls just slightly, and as the stock moves stronger upwards further out of the money calls can be sold. - 23221

Look Out for the Debt Settlement Tax - What to Do About It

By Sean Payne

If you owe money to creditors, you might be thinking about talking to them to negotiate a settlement for your debts, by paying them less than you owe. Be careful, though. You may not have been aware of it, but debt settlement can have a huge impact on your taxes.

When you pay off the debt for less than you owe, you're effectively "earning" money. For example, if you take out a loan for $10,000, and then were unable to pay it back, but settled for $6000, you've effectively pocketed $4000. This kind of thing gets the IRS's attention in a hurry.

It's possible that at some point in the past, the U.S. tax laws allowed for this to happen with no tax implications. Unfortunately for you, the IRS is smart about such things, and has closed any loophole that may have existed in the tax law.

As in our example above, if you settle credit card debt or any other type of debt for less than you owe, you will probably be held liable for whatever "profit" you realize after settling your debt. Remember this when it's time to file your taxes after settling your debts.

Although this may sound like a bad thing to you, you're still ahead of the game after taxes. In our example, the $4,000 "gain" you realized may be taxed at 30% (which depends on your tax bracket), meaning that you owe a $1,200 tax. Even after the tax, though, you've still only had to pay $7,200 to settle a $10,000 debt. You've gotten a 28% discount, which is a bargain in my estimation.

Because the debt settlement tax comes as a surprise to many people, they don't do anything about it until the IRS comes to audit them. Don't let this hidden tax take you by surprise.

If you require more information about how to plan for this tax, please talk to a CPA or other tax expert. - 23221

How to Finally Pay Off Your Debt, Even if You've Failed Miserably

By Sean Payne

A significant majority of people who are in debt have made at least one attempt to pay off their debts. Unfortunately, most people who try to get out of debt end up getting deeper in debt.

What causes this? Why do they end up accumulating more and more debt? The answer can be found in the methods that they use to try to get out of debt. Those people who use additional loans to get out of debt are only temporarily fixing the problem. Debt reduction loans might work for a while, but eventually the habits that caused the problem with debt in the first place will sabotage them.

The answer lies in correcting the underlying habits that create the problem of debt. The easiest way to do this is by using a debt repayment plan that won't allow you to indulge in those old habits.

What is a step by step plan that won't let you continue to indulge in your old habits?

The first step is to create a buffer between you and going into additional debt. When you're stretched really thin financially, even a small financial emergency can make you go back to using debt. What do I mean by a buffer? I mean a small amount of savings, somewhere between $500 and $1000, depending on your situation. It should be enough to fix your car if it breaks, pay the plumber if a pipe bursts, or pay the bills if your paycheck is late or too small.

The second step is to take on no new debt. This means no consolidation loans and no second mortgages. People who use second mortgages to consolidate and pay off their debt are replacing their unsecured debt with a loan secured by their home. The problem, then, is that if they can't keep up with payments on this new loan, they are at risk of losing their home.

The third step is to make a plan to pay off all your debts. Realize that the order in which you pay off your debts can make a huge difference. If you do it wrong, you're at risk of losing your motivation to get out of debt. Do it right, and you'll pay off your debts quickly while becoming more and more enthusiastic about getting out of debt.

The fourth step is to carry out your plan. The easiest way to do this is to automate your debt repayment plan. One way to accomplish this is to use an automatic bill payment service, such as the kind offered by most banks. Once set up, a bill payment service will keep you from incurring late fees. Most bill payment services are free, so this is awesome if you want to get out of debt.

The final step is to stick to your plan. After a while, you will have developed a little bit of momentum, and this will become easier. Once again, choosing the correct debt repayment plan can make a huge difference.

That's all you have to do. Now you can finally pay off your debts, even if you've failed every time you've tried. All it takes is the correct approach. - 23221
