There are many routes to becoming a professional <a data-component="link" data-ordinal="1" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/trader.asp">trader</a>—and
many skills a candidate needs to excel in a high-stress,
highly-competitive field. When financial firms recruit for trading
positions, they tend to look for people with degrees in math,
engineering, and hard sciences rather than simply those with finance
backgrounds. There are also <a data-component="link" data-ordinal="2" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" href="https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0112/financial-careers-with-excellent-salaries.aspx">different trading jobs</a>—some
of which require customer-facing communication skills as much as chart
savvy. That said, we’ll look at some of the skills that are required of
all traders. (See <a data-component="link" data-ordinal="3" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" href="https://www.investopedia.com/articles/professionals/091714/trader-vs-investment-banker-which-job-best-you.asp">Trader Vs. Investment Banker: Which Is Right For You</a>?)</div>

Traders need to have a healthy thirst for information and a desire to
find all the relevant data that impacts the securities they trade. Many
traders create calendars of economic releases and set announcements
that have measurable effects on the <a data-component="link" data-ordinal="1" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financial-market.asp">financial markets</a>.
By being on top of these information sources, traders are able to react
to new information as the market is still digesting it.<span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> </span></div>

Focus is a skill and it increases the more traders exercise it.
Because there is so much financial information out there, traders need
to be able to hone in on the important, actionable data that will affect
their trades. Some traders also focus in on the types of securities
they trade so they can deepen their understanding of a specific sector,
industry or currency to the point where it becomes a <a data-component="link" data-ordinal="1" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/competitive_advantage.asp">competitive advantage</a> against less specialized traders.</div>

their analytical capacity, research abilities, focus, control and record
keeping.<span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> </span></div>

Hand in hand with focus is control, or specifically, self-control. A trader needs to be able to <a data-component="link" data-ordinal="1" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" href="https://www.investopedia.com/articles/basics/10/how-to-avoid-emotional-investing.asp">control their emotions</a> and stick to a <a data-component="link" data-ordinal="2" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/trading-plan.asp">trading plan</a>
and strategy. This is especially important in managing risk by using
stop losses or taking profits at set points. Many strategies are
designed so the trader loses a little in bad trades and systematically
gains more on good trades. When traders start to get emotional about
their trades - good or bad - strategy goes out the window.<span class="mntl-sc-block-heading__text"> </span></div>
<div class="comp mntl-block" id="mntl-block_7-0">

<div class="comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html" id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-19">

</div>
<div class="comp mntl-sc-block finance-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html" id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-19">
One of the most important keys to trading is record keeping. If a
trader records the results of his or her trades diligently, then
improving is simply a matter of testing and tweaking strategies to find a
successful one. It is hard to show real progress if you aren't keeping
accurate records.

sparks heated debate, promotes quirky "get rich quick" schemes, and
drives people to pursue transactions they might otherwise never consider.
"Three Simple Steps to Building Wealth" may seem like a misleading
title, but it isn't. While these steps are simple to understand, they're not
easy to follow.</span></div>

down to this: To accumulate wealth over time, you need to do three things:</span></div>

This means that before you can begin to save or invest, you need to have a
long-term source of income that's sufficient to have some left over after
you've covered your necessities.</span></li>

Making Enough Money </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This step may seem elementary, but
for those who are just starting out, or are in transition, this is the most
fundamental step. Most of us have seen tables showing that a small amount
regularly saved and <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/compounding.asp"><span style="color: blue;">compounded</span></a> over time can eventually add up
to substantial wealth. But those tables never cover the other sides of the
story – that is, are you making enough to save in the first place? Keep in mind
that there's only so much you can cut in costs. If your costs are already cut
down to the bone, you should look into ways to increase your income. Also, are
you good enough at what you do and do you enjoy it enough that you can do it
for 40 or 50 years in order to save that money? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There are two types of income
– <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/earnedincome.asp"><span style="color: blue;">earned</span></a> and <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/passiveincome.asp"><span style="color: blue;">passive</span></a>. Earned income comes from what you
"do for a living," while passive income is derived from investments.
This section deals with earned income.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Taking these considerations into
account will put you on the right path. The key is to be open-minded and

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You make enough money, you live
pretty well, but you're not saving enough. What's wrong? There's only one
reason why this occurs: Your wants exceed your budget. To develop a budget or
to get your existing budget on track, try these steps:</span></div>
<ol start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Track your spending for at least a month. You may want
to use a financial software package to help you do this. Make sure you
categorize your expenditures. Sometimes just being aware of how much you
are spending will help you control your spending habits. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Trim the fat. Break down your wants and needs. The need
for food, shelter, and clothing are obvious, but you also need to address
less obvious needs. For instance, you may realize you're eating lunch at a
restaurant every day. Bringing your own lunch to work two or more days a
week will help you save money.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Adjust according to your changing needs. As you go
along, you probably will find that you've over- or under-budgeted a
particular item and need to adjust your budget accordingly.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Build your cushion – you never really know what's
around the corner. You should aim to save around three to six months'
worth of living expenses. This prepares you for financial setbacks, such
as job loss or health problems. If saving this cushion seems daunting,
start small. </span></li>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The most important step is to
distinguish between what you really need and what you merely want. Finding
simple ways to save a few extra bucks here and there could include programming
your thermostat to turn itself down when you're not at home, using regular
unleaded gasoline instead of premium, keeping your tires fully inflated, buying
furniture from a quality thrift shop, and learning how to cook. This doesn't
mean that you have to be thrifty all the time. If you're meeting savings goals,
you should be willing to reward yourself and splurge (an appropriate amount)
once in a while! You'll feel better and be motivated to make more money.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You're making enough money and
you're saving enough, but you're putting it all in conservative investments.
That's fine, right? Wrong! If you want to build a sizable portfolio, you have
to take on <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/risk.asp"><span style="color: blue;">risk</span></a>, which means you'll have to invest in <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/equity.asp"><span style="color: blue;">equities</span></a>.
So how do you determine what's the right level of exposure for you?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Begin with an assessment of your
situation. The <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cfainstitute.asp"><span style="color: blue;">CFA Institute</span></a> advises investors to build
an <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/ips.asp"><span style="color: blue;">investment policy statement</span></a>. To begin, determine
your return and risk objectives. Quantify all of the elements affecting your
financial life including household income, your time horizon, tax
considerations, cash flow/liquidity needs, and any other factors that are
unique to you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Next, determine the
appropriate <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/assetallocation.asp"><span style="color: blue;">asset allocation</span></a> for you. Most likely you
will need to meet with a <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financial-advisor.asp"><span style="color: blue;">financial advisor</span></a> unless you know enough to
do this on your own. This allocation will be based on the investment policy
statement you have devised. Your allocation will most likely include a mixture
of cash, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fixedincome.asp"><span style="color: blue;">fixed income</span></a>, equities, and <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/alternativeassets.asp"><span style="color: blue;">alternative investments</span></a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/riskaverse.asp"><span style="color: blue;">Risk-averse</span></a> investors should keep in mind
that portfolios need at least some equity exposure to protect against <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/inflation.asp"><span style="color: blue;">inflation</span></a>. Also, younger investors can afford to
allocate more of their portfolios to equities than older investors, as they
have time on their side. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Finally, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/diversification.asp"><span style="color: blue;">diversify</span></a>. Invest your equity and fixed-income
exposures over a range of classes and styles. Do not try to time the market.
When one style (e.g., <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/large-cap.asp"><span style="color: blue;">large-cap</span></a> growth) is <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/u/underperform.asp"><span style="color: blue;">underperforming</span></a> the S&P 500, it is quite
possible that another is <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/outperform.asp"><span style="color: blue;">outperforming</span></a>. Diversification takes the timing
element out of the game. A qualified <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/investmentadvisor.asp"><span style="color: blue;">investment advisor</span></a> can help you develop a
prudent diversification strategy.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, you made the leap from being an employee to owning a business.
Congratulations, you’ve just entered the ranks of becoming a soon-to-be
entrepreneurial failure or a near-term startup success.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course,
the question becomes how do you stay alive as a newfound business
owner? After all, being a subject matter expert in a particular job is
one thing, being a generalist for an industry (an organizational leader)
is something else entirely. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There comes a point where stagnation
sets in. You can take yourself only so far without the help of
others. Hey, it happens. Consider it part of the startup lifecycle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Enter the business coach. There isn't anything else that you receive 100 percent dedicated attention to <em>you</em>.
A business coach is somebody who helps you move from where you are to
where you want to be, and does so by solely focusing on your goals. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“If you are not clear on your vision, then every single opportunity will distract you and impede your progress,” says <a href="http://www.tracycherpeski.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tracy Cherpeski</a>, an entrepreneurship and wellness coach. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Related: <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/244135" rel="follow">Before Hiring a Business Coach Make Certain Their Skills Match Your Goals</a></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After
all, you’ll never really know what you’re capable of until there’s
someone to push you outside your comfort zone. Just ask any professional
athlete. If a business coach is something you’ve thought about recently
but aren’t quite sold on getting one yet, here are four reasons why you
should:</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
1. To brainstorm brilliance</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There’s a common
saying that goes, “nobody is smarter than all of us.” In other words,
the collective power of many is far superior to the single power of one,
which speaks to the value a coach brings in brainstorming new ideas.
However, doing so is both an art and a science.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anybody can go
online and find brainstorming software for free with the goal to
generate genius -- that’s the science part. The “art” part, however, is
excavating personal values and beliefs that you never knew existed and
linking them to your desires and intentions. Sometimes it takes a new
perspective to see an existing connection.</div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
2. To bounce ideas</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nowhere
else do you find somebody solely dedicated to acting as your own
personal sounding board. A coach -- well, a good coach -- pushes out all
thoughts from his or her own brain to be present and just listen. Doing
so allows the coach to <a href="http://wp.me/p5CTEH-1gA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ask powerful questions</a> that unearths deeply rooted values otherwise firmly planted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
best part about this is the amount of judgment that the coach offers:
zero. Unlike the local rumor mill in your neighborhood or office, it’s
not a coach’s responsibility to opine about your position, but rather to
suspend judgment in such a way that guides you toward your own goals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Related: <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/244304" rel="follow">Get Some Real Advice for God's Sake</a></strong></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
3. To be accountable </h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Isn't
it strange how easy it is to break the promises we make to ourselves,
but less so when we involve other people? A coach serves as an
accountability partner who challenges you to strategize and develop your
goals while aligning your efforts toward achieving them. </div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
4. To receive guidance</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A
business coach will challenge your thinking, goals and willingness to
grow. As somebody who has “been there, done that,” a coach also acts as a
role model because of the experience that he or she shares.
Additionally, a coach has unique insight that broadens your business
awareness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Think of it this way: When Santa Claus brings you a new
toy, you get excited at the thought of playing with it but maybe a
little disheartened at the thought of having to assemble all those
ridiculously tiny pieces. So what do you need? Directions. You need
guidance for how to get from where you are to where you want to be, and
once you do, you play with the toy all morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The key metric for
success from coaching isn’t so much the cool technical tools you
learn -- those will become obsolete in roughly 18 months. The value of
coaching resides in the mental tools the coachee learns that help him or
her navigate toward success both inside and outside of the business
world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every athlete and every top performer uses a coach to bring out their best. Why don’t you?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As many of you know, I am a self-taught
trader…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And as you may also know, that SUCKED!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Doing it all by myself, I was forced to
learn a lot the hard way, many cases of trial and error along the way and
that fact is, in part, what inspired me to become the mentor to people that
I never had.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I didn’t have a mentor or a program like
mine. But I wish I had. I probably would have made money a lot quicker and
not made so many bone-headed mistakes if I had.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But lamenting the past won’t change
anything. Instead of complaining, I want to help you so that you don’t have
to make the same mistakes I did!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Here are seven pieces of advice that I’d
like to offer new traders, positioned exactly where I used to be.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">#1. Seek out an education.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The idea of just jumping in and starting
to trade penny stocks might be tempting. You’ll figure it out as you go,
right?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Not so fast.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’m all for going for it, but take a step
back before you do anything hasty. Remember, this is your money, and you
don’t want to lose it. Before you trade, it’s smart to learn a bit about
the process and theory behind trading so that you don’t lose your money in
ways that could easily be avoided.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You must educate yourself on trading in an
applicable, real-life way. With my students, we progress into real advice
and methods that you can put to work. I don’t want you to wait years and
years to make your first trade, but I do want you to have an idea of what
you’re doing before you dive in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">#2. Have a willingness to learn.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s best that you learn this early on in
your career: as a trader, your education is never complete… meaning it will
never end.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Seeking out an education, as discussed in
the previous point, is partially so that you can make educated trades. But
that’s only the tip of the iceberg.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But if you really want to be a longtime,
successful trader, you’ll need to have a will and a desire to learn. This
is something you basically want to turn on and never turn off. Keep
reading, learning about the philosophies and methods behind successful
traders, and stay interested in the world, in terms of not just finance,
but everything else, too!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">#3. Know what you’re working toward.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If you’re not working toward something as
a trader, then your career will have little direction. So what are you
working toward with your trading? What are your goals?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">When you’re new as a trader, you should
have strong clarity on what it is that drew you to trading.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Money, obviously.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But, money for what? A newer house? A
nicer car? A better quality of life?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Really dig deep and figure out exactly
what it is that you want to buy with all that money you’ll make. Tattoo
that desire on your brain and think of it with every trade you make. It
will help you stay motivated, which makes you a better trader. Having goals
to stay committed to will keep you going when things get tough.</span></div>

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">#4. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s important to be able to identify your
strengths and weaknesses early on as a trader. Basically, the sooner you do
identify them, the sooner you can streamline your trading.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">By recognizing your strengths, you can
play to them, and adjust your study and trading schedule to suit what works
best for you…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Every trade and student is different, so
it’s important to recognize this and adapt to whatever works best for <i>you!</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">By recognizing your weaknesses, you can
either work around them or make a decision to become stronger in those
realms.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This might involve studying harder in
certain areas, or taking the steps to remove bad habits from your daily
repertoire and replace them with good habits.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">#5. Give yourself time.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Patience is a virtue when it comes to
trading. Don’t expect miracles (or millions) in your first week.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It doesn’t have to take an incredible
amount of time to start earning money, but don’t rush it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Let yourself discover what works and what
doesn’t, and get your footing as a trader.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Slow but steady wins the race when it
comes to developing these skills.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Don’t try to jump ahead, because there’s
so much that you can learn along the way that can help you later. Giving
yourself the room to learn and improve over time will take away a huge
stressor from your trading career, and it will also make the journey more
enjoyable.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">#6. Network, network, network.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Creating a network is important for any
entrepreneur, and traders are no different. Making friends with other new
traders can create a positive support network and help you stay inspired.
And making friends with traders who are further along in their career than
you can give you insight and help you emulate their success.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">A mentor, too, should be part of your
network; this is a trader who is further along in their career than you who
takes it one level higher, acting as your adviser. Meeting with a mentor on
occasion can inform your career, give you ideas, and help you know what career
pitfalls to avoid.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Moreover, creating a strong network is a
great thing for new traders, as you never know what opportunities your
connections might afford you in the future.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 22.5pt; margin-bottom: 9.0pt;">
<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">#7. Learn to love trading.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If you walk away with nothing else from
this article, take this advice to heart…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If you learn to love trading, you’re doing
yourself a great service as a trader… the process and the journey is
actually even more enjoyable than the rewards…the rewards are nice, don’t
get me wrong, but learning to be self-sufficient is priceless.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Even if I lost all my money tomorrow, I
know EXACTLY what I must to do get it back so I’ll NEVER be down for very
long, no matter what happens.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s a good feeling.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And I want you to have that sense of
security, too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And remember, too many people suck at
their jobs and don’t excel because they don’t truly enjoy it…doing
something you hate is no fun. It makes the time crawl by, and it does
nothing to improve your quality of life… don’t make that your future.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But doing something you love makes time
fly and makes you feel vital and excited about your day, and about life in
general.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As the old cliche goes, if you love your
job, you never have to work… if you love trading, all the preparation you
have to do won’t feel like work.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If trading can become one of those things
that you love, then your career will seem effortless and success will come
to you far more quickly and more naturally.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">These seven pieces of advice are vital for
new traders. I wish I’d had them when I was a new trader! So go forth!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And don’t make the same mistakes I did.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: .25in;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Regards,</span></div>

If you are interested in a financial career, there's no excuse for not <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/articles/basics/09/talk-like-an-investor.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">knowing Wall Street lingo</a>. If you don't know the difference between <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_2" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dilution.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">dilution</a> and <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_3" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividend.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">dividend</a>, or between <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_4" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/npv.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">NPV</a> and <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_5" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dcf.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">DCF</a>, consider learning financial terms and concepts by browsing the extensive <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/dictionary/" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">dictionary of terms</a> at sites like Investopedia or reading <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>.</div>

Not knowing financial language may make it almost impossible to get past the preliminary interview stage for a non-financial graduate. That's because an interviewer will generally assume that an applicant for a finance position is knowledgeable about finance, regardless of his or her educational background.</div>

So what if you graduated with a degree in a subject other than finance? You can always redress the situation by taking relevant courses with an emphasis on finance or business at the undergraduate or post-graduate level.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.16px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
At the undergraduate level, courses in economics, accounting or <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_7" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/financial-analysis.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">financial analysis</a> are great options. Many post-graduates go for an <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_8" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/mba.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">MBA</a>, since its substantial finance component serves to level the playing field between finance and non-finance graduates. If the <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/articles/professionaleducation/09/mba-real-costs.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">MBA's stiff cost</a> is a deterrent, other options such as enrolling in the <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cfa.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Chartered Financial Analyst</a> (CFA<sup>®</sup>) Program are certainly worth exploring.</div>

These crash courses are quite expensive, typically running to a few thousand dollars, but have the advantage of not requiring a long-term time commitment because they are typically conducted over a few days. One drawback is that, due to these programs' intensity, you may need to be already familiar with basic financial concepts to derive the maximum benefit from them. </div>

Relevant knowledge is not obtained only through a college degree. There are plenty of resources available, either through your local library or online, to deepen your financial knowledge. These resources may be free or available on a paid basis from course providers. Being <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/articles/basics/11/become-self-taught-finance-expert.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">self-taught in a difficult field like finance</a> demonstrates a number of desirable attributes to an employer such as initiative, passion and drive. </div>

A number of websites – including Investopedia – have <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/simulator/" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">trading simulators</a> that can be used to construct mock <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/portfolio.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">portfolios</a>. Using a trading simulator will force you to track the <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/stockmarket.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">markets</a> and keep abreast of market developments. This is a great way to impress a potential employer with your trading prowess, or at least your market knowledge, with very little investment on your part, aside from some time commitment.</div>

Completing a relevant industry licensing course, such as that offered by the <a href="https://www.csi.ca/" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Canadian Securities Institute</a> (in Canada), not only demonstrates your commitment to a career in finance, but also gives you an edge on the competition in terms of job readiness. This option may not be available in all jurisdictions, of course; for instance, in the United States, one has to be sponsored by a <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_17" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/memberfirm.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">member firm</a> or a <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_18" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sro.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">self-regulatory organization</a> to take most licensing exams.

Scoring a summer internship still remains one of the best ways to lock in a prestigious full-time job in finance, as many <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_23" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/wallstreet.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">Wall Street</a> firms pick their new hires from the ranks of their summer interns.

The Bottom Line </h2>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.16px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
Some non-finance degrees are certainly in demand on Wall Street for specific tasks, including:</div>
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.16px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; list-style: none;">
<li style="text-align: justify;">Physics and mathematics for structured products, <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_28" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/derivative.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">derivatives</a> and <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/q/quantitative-trading.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">quantitative trading</a></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Information technology for <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_29" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/algorithmictrading.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">algorithmic trading</a> and platform development</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Engineering, mining and sciences for sector-specific <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/research-analyst.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">research analysis</a> and <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/investment-banking.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">investment banking</a></li>
</ul>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.16px; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">
But for the vast majority of non-finance degree holders, getting a job in finance is likely to pose a significant challenge. This is more so because thousands of positions were eliminated by banks and financial institutions in the aftermath of the 2008 <a class="termLink" data-inlink="link_31" href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/global-recession.asp" style="color: #005b9d; cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">global recession</a>. However, using a combination of the tips discussed above should enable a non-financial graduate to substantially improve his or her chances of launching a career in finance.</div>

</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Setiba di Dubai jam 4.30 pagi selepas tujuh jam penerbangan,
dari lapangan terbang antarabangsa Dubai, terus pemandu limo menghantar
saya ke apartmen berhampiran Irfan Khairi Institute of Business Dubai. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sememangnya saya suka mengambil penerbangan malam kerana
apabila tiba di Dubai pada waktu pagi, saya boleh terus menghadiri
mesyuarat dan temu janji selepas berehat sebentar di apartmen. Dengan
cara ini, saya tidak rugi hari kerana perjalanan pada waktu malam.
Umpama semalam di Kuala Lumpur dan hari berikutnya di Dubai untuk hari
yang baru!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Di sini, saya tinggal di apartmen suite yang perkhidmatannya
seperti hotel lima bintang. Setibanya di lobi apartmen pada jam 5.30
pagi, mata saya tertumpu pada seorang pekerja pencuci di lobi itu.
Pekerja dari Filipina lengkap berpakaian seragam itu khusyuk mengilatkan
lantai dengan mesin manakala alat cucian lain pula di sisinya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fikiran saya terus mengimbau kisah 18 tahun lalu - saling
tidak tumpah dengan keadaan saya ketika itu. Sewaktu belajar di United
Kingdom, saya tidak mempunyai duit mencukupi untuk mendalami dua ilmu
yang cukup saya minati - ilmu motivasi dan perniagaan. Walaupun ditaja
kerajaan, tajaan terbabit alhamdulillah hanya cukup untuk yuran
universiti, tempat tinggal dan makan minum.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Untuk mendalami ilmu motivasi dan perniagaan, sememangnya di
luar skop pembelajaran universiti. Oleh itu, saya perlu mencari wang
lebih untuk mencari ilmu tambahan ini. Apakah caranya? Ya, saya bekerja
sebagai seorang tukang cuci selama dua tahun sambil belajar. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sememangnya bukanlah minat saya untuk menjadi seorang tukang
cuci, tetapi tahu sebelum kita dapat melakukan apa yang kita minati,
ada kalanya perlu lakukan apa yang terpaksa. Namun, dalam minda tersemat
ini hanyalah permulaan saya untuk menjadi seorang usahawan berjaya satu
hari nanti.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pada masa itu, setiap hari selepas solat Subuh, saya
berjalan kira-kira tiga kilometer ke pasar raya tempat saya bekerja
sebagai tukang cuci setiap hari sebelum kuliah universiti bermula jam 10
pagi. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kelebihannya, saya suka berjalan kerana mengambil peluang
itu untuk bersenam! Saya masih ingat, pada tahun pertama tidak
dibenarkan cuti sehari pun. Kalau hendak bercuti, perlu senyap-senyap
berpakat dengan rakan pencuci lain untuk melakukan kerja kita supaya
penyelia tidak perasan. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maklumlah, ada kalanya perlu menghadiri kuliah lebih awal,
ataupun perlu berjumpa rakan sekelas untuk mengendalikan projek kumpulan
di universiti. Ada juga masanya saya berjumpa rakan universiti dengan
pakaian seragam tukang cuci kerana mengejar masa! Pada mulanya, memang
terasa malu juga tetapi apabila terjadi dua tiga kali, hilang terus
perasaan malu. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ada kalanya saya terfikir, keadaan itu juga memperbaiki diri
saya sendiri. Saya tidak lagi malu dengan rakan mat salih dan pelajar
lain serata dunia. Memakai seragam tukang cuci membuatkan saya lebih
tabah, hilang perasaan malu dan berani menghadapi sesiapa sahaja! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Lain orang lain bicara</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bekerja sebagai tukang cuci selama dua tahun mengajar saya
pelbagai perkara. Maklumlah, kita sebagai tukang cuci dipandang sebagai
tukang cuci saja - pendatang luar pula. Dimarah dan ditengking penyelia
satu perkara biasa. Tetapi, terpaksa tahan saja telinga kerana ingin
mencari wang untuk menambah ilmu. Jauh di dalam hati saya tahu, ketika
itu hanyalah pengalaman sementara untuk mengumpul wang sebelum mula
mengejar cita-cita.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ada satu ketika, sedang sibuk mengemop lantai pasar raya,
saya tidak sedar bahagian belakang batang kayu mop terlanggar rak
minuman berkabonat. Beberapa botol minuman berkarbonat jatuh pecah
berkecai di lantai dan pastinya tindak balas air bergas itu menjadikan
keadaan lebih teruk.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Akibat bunyi bising itu, penyelia pencuci lari bergegas
kepada saya dan apa lagi, pastinya saya dimarah dan dijerit. Pelbagai
kata-kata kesat turut dilemparkan kepada saya, maklumlah mat salih itu
mungkin kurang tahap pendidikan, jadi kata-kata lucah saja terhambur
dari mulutnya. Memang salah saya kerana lalai, dan saya terima. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tidak lama kemudian, pengurus pasar raya pula muncul kerana
terdengar kekecohan itu. Cepat-cepat saya minta maaf kepada pengurus
pasar raya itu dan saya lantas mengeluarkan dompet dari poket belakang
seluar dan bertanyakan kepada pengurus pasar raya, ‘Please tell me how
much. I want to pay for the drinks’.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kerana tahu salah saya tidak sengaja memecahkan beberapa
botol minuman karbonat itu, saya pun ingin membayar ganti rugi kepada
pengurus pasar raya itu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Namun, balasan yang saya dapat amat berbeza dengan penyelia
tukang cuci yang mengherdik saya. Pengurus pasar raya itu dengan
bersahaja berkata, ‘Don’t worry you don’t need to pay. Accident happens.
But are you OK?’</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bukan saja tidak mahu menerima wang, tetapi ditanya pula
sama ada saya tidak tercedera kerana itu yang dirisaukan apabila
terdengar bunyi botol pecah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ketika itu, saya dapat lihat betapa bezanya perangai manusia
di depan mata saya sendiri. Seorang penyelia pencuci yang menengking
dan mengherdik, seorang pula pengurus pasar raya yang mengambil berat
dan memahami.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sebagai manusia, perlu memilih cara kita sendiri. Pilihan
bukan pada tangan orang lain, persekitaran, pangkat dan darjat, atau
kenalan dan keluarga. Tetapi pilihan datang daripada diri kita sendiri
untuk membentuk diri sama ada hendak jadi seorang yang baik atau
sebaliknya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dua tahun saya bekerja sebagai tukang cuci tetapi itulah dua
tahun yang paling banyak mengajar saya erti kesabaran dengan kerenah
orang, juga sabar dalam mencari ilmu dan berusaha. Untuk berjaya, kita
akan bertemu pelbagai kerenah manusia. Untuk berjaya, kita perlu mencari
ilmu. Dan untuk berjaya juga, pastinya ilmu saja tidak cukup sekiranya
tidak berusaha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Acuan diri sendiri</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pagi ini, melihat pencuci dari Filipina yang sedang
mengilatkan lantai, teringat saya 18 tahun lalu, saya juga pernah dalam
keadaan itu. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sebelum memasuki lif apartmen, saya senyum dan menegurnya
‘Hi, how are you?’. Dan pencuci itu pun membalas senyuman dan bertanya
‘Fine, have a good day sir!’ Pintu lif tertutup sambil dirinya terus
memberi senyuman lagi pada saya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dalam hidup, kita tidak tahu di mana kita akan berada
setahun akan datang, lima, 10 atau 15 tahun akan datang. Lima tahun
selepas saya menjadi tukang cuci, alhamdulillah saya berjaya mencapai
<span style="color: blue;"><b>pendapatan RM1,000,000 daripada perniagaan Internet. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kira-kira 10 tahun selepas menjadi seorang tukang cuci,
alhamdulillah dapat mendidik dan juga memberi inspirasi kepada orang
ramai di Malaysia dan melahirkan paling ramai usahawan Internet berjaya
di Malaysia. Hari ini, 18 tahun selepas menjadi seorang pencuci,
alhamdulillah tertubuhnya Irfan Khairi Institute of Business Dubai.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jika ditanya kepada saya, apakah rahsia kejayaan? Jawapannya
ada pada pengalaman yang saya kongsikan hari ini. Kejayaan perlu
mempunyai kesabaran. Kejayaan perlu mempunyai ilmu. Kejayaan juga perlu
diusahakan. Tiada jalan pintas. Tidak kira di mana diri kita berada satu
masa dulu, masa depan kita di tangan diri kita sendiri, bukan orang
lain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sentiasa rendah diri, tetapi jangan pandang rendah pada diri
sendiri. Kita sendiri tidak tahu potensi diri kita sekiranya kita tidak
terus berusaha mengejar matlamat. Bagaimana hendak mencungkil potensi
diri? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mulakan dengan matlamat dan berusaha mencapainya dengan
ilmu. Anda akan lebih mengenali potensi sebenar dalam perjalanan
terbabit. Ia bukanlah satu sasaran, tetapi satu perjalanan yang akan
membentuk dan memperbaiki diri sendiri.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hargai segala pengalaman yang kita miliki, tidak kira susah
atau senang. Buangkan perasaan ego dan hormati semua insan. Sentiasa
berdoa kepada Yang Maha Esa supaya apa kita usahakan diperkenankan dan
bersyukur selalu kerana bersyukur itu akan membuka pelbagai pintu rezeki
yang kita tidak sangkakan, insya-Allah.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Semoga perkongsian saya kali ini memberi manfaat kepada anda
dan saya doakan anda juga akan mencapai apa saja matlamat anda satu
hari nanti!</div>

<tr style="text-size-adjust: 100%;"><td style="line-height: 24px; padding: 5px 0px 15px;"><br /><br />Referred to by some as “digital gold,” Bitcoin is one of the most controversial investment opportunities that exists today.<br />Over the past five years, the value of Bitcoin has skyrocketed nearly 25,000%, meaning if you had the foresight to buy and hold early, you could have earned as much as 250 times your initial investment.<br />That's enough to take $10,000 and turn you into a multimillionaire...<br />But many investors are still keeping far away from Bitcoin, despite its historic rise. To the average person, it’s all just too unfamiliar, too intimidating, and too risky.<br />Yet after years of naysayers predicting that the sky will come crashing down, Bitcoin just keeps on chugging along.<br />Hard to believe, but the cryptocurrency has been around for almost a decade now, and at this point, it doesn’t seem to be going away.<br />In fact, Bitcoin's bid as a serious investment has only matured in recent years as the digital currency has come of age. Once rightfully considered a virtual lottery ticket, Bitcoin has gradually cemented itself as a legitimate asset to consider for your portfolio.<br />This week, the cryptocurrency marked its longest stretch trading over $500 since its inception nearly a decade ago. For six months, Bitcoin has climbed well past that mark, now trading near $750.<br />If that makes you feel like you've been missing out, but you aren't convinced just yet that Bitcoin is right for you, here are five things you should probably know about this unique investment...<br /><br /><b><u><span style="color: blue;">#1: More and More People are Using Bitcoin Every Day</span></u></b><br />In its early days, Bitcoin was little more than a speculative bet for day traders hoping to turn a quick profit...<br />That’s because as a currency, Bitcoin had very little utility aside from on the black market. Like trying to pay your rent in yen, buying goods with Bitcoin was just something you didn’t do.<br />But after years of gradual adoption, more and more people are using Bitcoin for real-world transactions every day.<br />In January 2010, Bitcoin was averaging less than 200 transactions a day. Today, the digital currency is used in as many as 300,000 transactions per day.<br /><br /><img height="200" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2016/48/41190/bitcoin-transations-per-day.jpg" width="400" /><br />(Source: blockchain.info)<br /><br />In other words, Bitcoin is no longer just a form of money in theory; it has become a form of money in practice. People are buying goods with it, just as they do with any other form of currency.<br />For long-term investors, this is great news, because after all, that’s where Bitcoin’s value exists. So long as adoption of Bitcoin as a currency continues to increase, its value should move in tandem.<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;"><u><b>#2: More Vendors are Accepting Bitcoin</b></u></span><br />There are two main reasons Bitcoin transactions have and will likely continue to increase. The first is a growing acceptance from legitimate vendors.<br />Since 2013 there have already been a number of major retailers that have taken the initiative to treat Bitcoin as a legitimate method of payment.<br />Notable companies include Expedia, which now accepts Bitcoin for all hotel bookings, Overstock.com, which began accepting Bitcoin for its products in January 2014, and Microsoft, which recently added Bitcoin as a payment option for its digital content.<br />Other major vendors include Dell, Subway, Newegg, TigerDirect, Tesla, PayPal, and REEDs Jewelers, to name just a few.<br />Even the Sacramento Kings NBA franchise now accepts Bitcoin online and at the Golden 1 Center arena. That means NBA fans can get tickets, jerseys, hot dogs, and, yes, even beer with their bitcoins.<br /><br /><b><u><span style="color: blue;">#3: Volatility is Trending Down</span></u></b><br />On top of an increasing number of vendors accepting Bitcoin, price volatility is trending downward — and for long-term investors, that’s a good thing.<br />In 2011, the 30-day volatility of Bitcoin was nearly 16%, but today it’s closer to 2.0% on a dollar basis.<br /><br /><img height="262" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2016/48/41189/bitcoin-volatility-trend.png" width="400" /><br />(Source: btcvol.info)<br /><br />This simply means the day-to-day fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin are decreasing and the value of Bitcoin is becoming more stable.<br />And for a form of currency, this is incredibly important, because it means consumers’ money is more reliable.<br />If a loaf of bread cost $4 yesterday, $2 today, and $7 tomorrow, chances are you wouldn’t have much faith in the dollar. The same rule applies to Bitcoin: the less volatile it is, the better it will fair in the market.<br />Of course, Bitcoin will continue to have bouts of volatility, and it is still years away from being completely stable, but as of today, its price stability is on par with the Mexican peso and South African rand.<br />For a 10-year-old currency, that’s not too shabby.<br /><br /><b><u><span style="color: blue;">#4: Bitcoin Has Been a Hedge Against Economic Uncertainty</span></u></b><br /><br />For decades, if not centuries, gold has been the go-to safe haven in times of economic uncertainty.<br />When stocks go down, people buy gold. When economies collapse, people buy gold.<br />But investors have increasingly turned elsewhere in recent years in the face of economic turmoil.<br />When Cyprus’s economy tanked in 2013, Bitcoin soared.<br />When China’s yuan collapsed in 2015, it happened again.<br />And when Brexit sent tremors through the market in 2016, Bitcoin investors had a field day, as the currency’s value exploded as much as $100 in a day. In the month leading up to Brexit, fears sent prices from $400 to over $750.<br />Bitcoin tends to work as a hedge because it's disconnected from the traditional financial system. It offers an easy way for people to exit economies that revolve around government money and bad monetary policy.<br />If you’re one of the many people worried that the U.S. dollar is on its last legs as the global reserve currency, Bitcoin isn’t a bad bet.<br /><br /><b><u><span style="color: blue;">#5: Buying and Selling is Easier Than You Think</span></u></b><br /><br />Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be a computer scientist to invest in Bitcoin.<br />Buying and selling the cryptocurrency is actually pretty simple: all you really need is a credit card, bank account, or PayPal to get started.<br />There are a number of easy-to-use platforms for trading and storing bitcoins. Some of the most reputable ones include Coinbase, Kraken, BitQuick, and Blockchain Wallet.<br />Buying and selling Bitcoin today is about as easy as trading stocks. Once you’re comfortable with whatever platform you choose, you can get started right away.<br />But remember, Bitcoin still carries plenty of risk and should only account for a small portion of your portfolio. The best investors are well diversified, and Bitcoin is just one place to potentially grow your wealth.<br />Until next time,<br /><br /><br /> <img border="0" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2013/31/20751/j-sig.png" /><br /><br /><br />Jason Stutman</td></tr>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dear Reader,</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When it comes to saving a portion of your earnings, an error most people make is to save their wealth in man-made currencies. These currencies are controlled by central planners, are regularly manipulated, and are created out of thin air without regard for the value of the currency you have in your wallet.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the digital age, accounts holding these currencies can be frozen, easily confiscated, and tracked.</span></span></span></strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I personally advocate saving in gold or other precious metals, like silver, palladium, or platinum. A combination of truths lead me to this simple savings strategy:</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>1.</strong> They’re lawsuit-proof. Not technically, but the fact is no one knows how much gold you have – it is a private matter.<br /><br />Gold is "off the books" when it comes to financial accounting.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>2.</strong> It has a history of being money, an independent unit of account that is the same no matter where it was mined or how old it is. It is a constant measurement of value; you can take a gold piece anywhere in the world and it will still have value. This is much different than a fiat currency. Once outside of your nation's borders, a currency may not be generally accepted. You also have thousands of fiat currencies that no longer have any value, like the U.S. Continental or the Confederate States of America dollar.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>3.</strong> It can't go to zero. Zero value for gold isn't an option. It hasn't ever happened, and never will. The process to get a one-ounce gold coin to you has hundreds of man hours behind it, and maybe even thousands, if you consider the full operation of gold exploration, production, refinement, and delivery.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u>This is the entire point of saving your wealth:</u> you save to not lose. I understand that you can measure gold vs. the dollar or gold vs. oil, and that its price will fluctuate, but the value in gold itself does not change.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>4. The currency printers are hoarding it. When the most powerful group of people in the world, the central bankers, desire to have one asset, then that alone should get your attention.</strong> Central banks print the currencies that the masses treat as a store of value, and those central banks buy and store physical gold – not silver, not houses, not oil, they own gold! If it is good enough for the masters of this world, then it's good enough for me.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>5. </strong><u>It’s financial insurance.</u> When it all hits the fan... Be it from a government or economic collapse, at the end of the day, gold survives. It still has value in the new world. It also makes for a great "start over fund" for the reasons listed above. It won't go to zero, and it's private money.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>6. </strong>It’s portable. I think it's important that if you need to, you could easily carry or move your wealth to a different region. Just to give you an idea, $250,000 in gold is about the size of a VHS tape.<br /><br />Your fiat currencies are typically tied up over the weekend and on bank holidays; in fact, even if you wanted to physically get your cash, you couldn't unless you gave your bank a 72-hour notice for withdrawals of over $5,000.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>7.</strong> It’s legacy wealth. Gold is something you can safely store away, knowing that it is something of great value that you can pass on to your children and your children's children.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is a safe stash of value that you can tap into when you are in your "golden" years, or at any time throughout your life.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: 100%;">
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ultimately, when you are saving a portion of your earnings, you want to protect and preserve it. Gold, in my opinion, along with the other precious metals, are the best way to achieve the objective of saving money by preserving both the value of your savings and protecting it from unwanted dangers, like government and civil litigation.</span></span></span></strong><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">“I avoid trading losses at all costs; I hate losses!" "Trading losses are just awful! I can’t stand them." "When I have a trading loss, it just shows I'm not a good trader, husband, father, provider, … or person!"</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">How many of us have such thoughts about trading losses? Most, I would imagine, though we never talk about them. We may </span><span style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">not even acknowledge them, but they are important. Such thoughts cause us to cut winners short, hold onto losing trades, avoid pulling the trigger, and even over trade by entering a marginal position or doubling down with position size to make up for that last loss.</span><br />

<b>Impact of Our Thoughts on Losses</b></div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
How we think about losses is important. Our thoughts about losses directly influence our trading behavior. They can affect how we see ourselves as traders and our self-esteem. Thinking about losses in an unconstructive manner can create a negative trading spiral and actually compound our losses. Thinking losses are just dreadful, we actively try to avoid them in unsound ways. We commit defensive trading behaviors like cutting winners short, letting losers run, etc. These erratic trading actions may cause even greater losses, further reinforcing the notion that losses are bad. Self-esteem and confidence wither, setting us up for more of the same on the next trade.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
The reality is trading losses will happen continuously throughout your trading career. They are inevitable and unavoidable. With practice and experience, losses happen less frequently, but you cannot eliminate them completely.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<b>Reasons for Losses</b></div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Losses occur for two primary reasons: 1) we make mistakes and 2) the market context changes.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
We are human and trading is complex. Trading is very demanding on our mental and emotional capacities; it is hard not to make mistakes. Also, the market constantly changes. A trade setup that worked yesterday may not work today because the market context is now different. Trading is based on probabilities, meaning that <i>there is always a certain likelihood of loss in any trade setup.</i></div>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
If we think unconstructively about losses, we are sure to struggle with our trading. Here are five tips that can help you re-set your thinking and attitude about losses:</div>

<b>5 Tips on Trading Losses</b></div>
<ol style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<li><b>Accept Losses</b>. Instead of viewing them as awful, recognize that they are a natural part of the game. No one wins 100% of the time. Every professional trader had losses. Give yourself permission to have losses and accept the probabilistic truth of trading.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<li><b>Commit to Trading Well</b>. Even when you might be thinking negative thoughts about a potential loss, be steadfast in following your trading plan. Manage your trade by what you see in the price movement and indicators, not by what your mind is saying to you.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<li><b>Use losses to learn</b>. This is what the best traders do. Learn about yourself as a trader and about the market through your losses. Are you doing things that you can improve on when you have a loss? Did the market context change and show you that the trade was unlikely to work? Use this information with future trades.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<li><b>Trade with an Edge</b>. Make sure all your trade setups have a probability of working and an expectancy of producing profit. Write them down in your trading plan and work only your plan. This is the only way you will generate profit consistent with your edge.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<li><b>Study market context</b>. Any trade setup will work better in some market conditions than others. Know the context in which your setup works best and the context in which it doesn’t work as well. This will improve your edge and reduce the frequency of losing trades.</li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: #fbfbfb; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
Reviewing your trades is an excellent way to learn from losses and better understand market context</div>

<li><b style="font-size: 15px;">S</b><span style="font-size: 15px;">uccessful entrepreneurs have</span><span style="color: lime; font-size: 15px;"> </span><b style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: purple;">passion</span></b><span style="font-size: 15px;"> and</span><b style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="color: lime;"> </span><span style="color: #6aa84f;">motivation</span></b><span style="font-size: 15px;">. They’ve found something they can work on over and over again without growing bored -- a job they want to do for the rest of their life.</span></li>
<li><b style="font-size: 15px;">T</b><span style="font-size: 15px;">hey will <b><span style="color: red;">risk time</span></b> and <b><span style="color: magenta;">money</span></b>, but they preserve resources for dealing with “unknown unknowns.”</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15px;">They are <b><span style="color: #351c75;">confident</span></b> and <b>enjoy</b> what they do. Sometimes they come across as stubborn, but that demonstrates their discipline and dedication.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15px;"> Entrepreneurs are <b><span style="color: #b45f06;">adaptable</span></b> and <b>flexible</b>. They welcome any suggestion that can optimize their offerings and satisfy their customers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15px;"> Entrepreneurs understand their <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">offering</span> </b>and the<b><span style="color: #351c75;"> market.</span></b> They keep up with the competition and consider external factors that can lead to failure.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15px;"> Entrepreneurs <b>manage their money</b>. Profitability takes time, and until then capital is limited and must be used wisely. Successful entrepreneurs keep a complete handle on cash flows, the lifeblood of any business.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15px;">Entrepreneurs <b><span style="color: orange;">plan appropriately</span></b>. They plan as much as possible, but keep some dry powder in reserve, and handle the unexpected with the right mindset.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15px;">They have <b><span style="color: blue;">networking abilities</span></b>. They reach out to mentors to seek valuable advice.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15px;">They are <b><span style="color: #990000;">prepared to take the exit</span></b>. Failure is not unusual, and sometimes it’s best to follow a practical route into a new venture instead of sinking resources into a lost cause.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15px;">And lastly, <b>entrepreneurs doubt themselves</b>, but not too much. Ask yourself, can I do this? Do I want to do this? Instead of worrying about fitting in with someone else’s image, check your gut. That should tell you a lot.</span></li>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Sejarah Penggunaan Wang Kertas</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sebelum kita memasuki perbincangan ini dengan lebih mendalam, sebaiknya kita telusuri sejarah penggunaan wang kertas terlebih dahulu. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Kita biasa menggambarkan bahawa wang yang digunakan oleh masyarakat silam adalah syiling emas mahupun perak sebagaimana yang sering disajikan di dalam filem dan penulisan klasik. Begitu juga jika kita mengamati sirah <i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Nabi Muhammad s.a.w mahupun al-Quran dan himpunan hadith, kita tidak akan terlepas daripada membaca berkenaan penggunaan<b> dinar (emas) </b>dan </span><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">dirham (perak)</span> </b><span style="color: #cc0000;">di dalam urus niaga ketika zaman tersebut.</span></i> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span style="color: blue;">Persoalannya disini, bilakah bermulanya penggunaan wang kertas?</span></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Penggunaan emas dan perak telah digunakan secara meluas dan diterima pakai sebagai mata wang hampir di seluruh dunia berikutan nilai yang tersimpan di dalam logam berharga itu sendiri. Ibn Khaldun di dalam Muqaddimah turut menukilkan berkenaan penggunaan emas dan perak sebagai medium perantaraan jual beli dan penyimpan nilai usaha dan kekayaan manusia:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Allah telah menciptakan dua jenis logam, iaitu emas dan perak sebagai ukuran nilai bagi semua pengumpulan modal. Penduduk dunia menganggapnya sebagai harta dan kekayaan. Meskipun apabila berada dalam keadaan-keadaan tertentu, barang-barang lain dikehendaki, ia tidak lain daripada mencapai tujuan yang pada matlamatnya adalah untuk memperoleh emas dan perak. Semua barangan lain terdedah kepada turun naik harga pasaran, sementara emas dan perak adalah terkecuali. Emas dan perak menjadi dasar keuntungan, harta dan kekayaan."</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Walaubagaimanapun, emas dan perak mempunyai kelemahan yang ketara iaitu kesukaran untuk membawanya di dalam kuantiti yang banyak dan wujud kebimbangan terhadap jaminan sekuritinya semasa di dalam perjalanan yang jauh. Perkembangan ekonomi dan aktiviti perdagangan yang menuntut kepada penggunaan wang dalam nilai yang besar telah membawa kepada inovasi penciptaan wang kertas.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pada permulaan penggunaannya, ‘wang kertas' tersebut tidak dikira sebagai mata wang. Ianya hanya sebagai dokumen bukti atau resit bagi mewakili nilai emas atau perak yang dimiliki oleh pendeposit. ‘Wang kertas' dihasilkan oleh individu atau institusi yang diamanahkan untuk menjaga emas dan perak tersebut. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Penggunaan wang kertas mula dikesan pengamalannya di China pada seawal abad ke-7 masihi. Manakala, negara barat pula mula menggunakannya sekitar 1000 tahun selepasnya dan penghasilan wang kertas di dunia Islam pula hanya bermula pada tahun 1850 semasa pentadbiran Khilafah Turki Uthmaniyyah.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Seperti yang dinyatakan sebelum ini, masyarakat dunia umumnya menerima emas dan perak sebagai duit. Penggunaan wang kertas pada mula pengenalannya tidaklah sepenuhnya menenggelamkan peranan emas dan perak. Wang kertas hanya mewakili simpanan emas atau perak dan boleh dituntut di bank dengan menukarkannya. Ketika itu, <b><i><span style="color: #b45f06;">nilaian mata wang diikat dengan emas (gold-standard). </span></i></b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Akan tetapi, peredaran masa telah membawa kepada dominasi penggunaan wang kertas berbanding syiling emas atau perak itu sendiri. Keyakinan pengguna terhadap keupayaan saling-tukaran wang kertas dengan emas atau perak telah dikhianati oleh bank apabila penghasilan duit kertas telah melebihi simpanan emas sepertimana yang pernah terjadi pada tahun 1759 di England.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">England merupakan antara negara pertama yang meleraikan ikatan mata wangnya daripada emas pada tahun 1931 lanjutan daripada krisis ekonomi yang melanda dunia barat (Great Depression). Pada tahun 1944, konferens Bretton Wood dianjurkan sebagai medium perbincangan untuk mengstrukturkan semula polisi kewangan dunia pasca perang dunia kedua. Hasilnya, mata wang dollar kemudiannya secara tidak langsung telah memainkan peranan sebagai mata wang dunia. Semua mata wang telah diikat dengan dollar, manakala dollar pula diikat kepada emas dengan kadar nilai 1 dollar bersamaan 35 oz emas.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Percetakan dollar yang melangkaui nilai rizab emas yang dimiliki oleh Amerika Syarikat (AS) pasca perang Vietnam telah mendorong AS untuk mengakhiri ikatan mata wangnya dengan emas secara persetujuan sehala (uni-lateral) pada tahun 1971. Sejak daripada itu, mata wang di seluruh dunia tidak lagi didokong nilai komoditi berharga. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tindakan presiden Nixon pada tahun 1971 itu telah membuka lebaran sejarah yang baharu di dalam sejarah pengamalan kewangan global iaitu dengan bermulanya zaman penggunaan wangfiat. Dinamakan fiat kerana merujuk kepada sifat wang itu yang tidak disandarkan nilainya pada apa-apa komoditi melainkan hanya anggapan semata-mata.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sejak nilai mata wang telah diapungkan nilainya bergantung kepada kondisi pasaran, ianya mudah terdedah kepada risiko spekulasi dan ketidakstabilan. Perlaksanaan sistem Fractional Reserve yang menjadi asas kepada penghasilan wang kertas pula telah membawa implikasi yang lebih teruk apabila ianya menjadi faktor utama kepada inflasi.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Kenapa Nilai Mata Wang Sesebuah Negara Jatuh/Meningkat?</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Untuk memahami punca <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">jatuh/naik</span></b> (<i><span style="color: red;">appreciate/depreciate</span></i>) sesuatu nilai mata wang, sewajarnya kita memahami terlebih dahulu konsep <b><span style="color: #741b47;">permintaan-pembekalan</span></b> (<i><span style="color: #cc0000;">demand-supply)</span></i>. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mata wang diniagakan dalam pasaran tukaran mata wang asing (<i>Foreign Exchange Market</i>) dan turun naik nilainya bergantung pada tahap permintaan dan jumlahnya yang berada di dalam pasaran. Secara asasnya, semakin tinggi permintaan terhadap sesuatu mata wang, maka nilainya akan meningkat. Manakala, jika pemintaan terhadap sesuatu mata wang menurun atau ramai menjualnya sehingga berlaku lebihan di dalam pasaran, maka nilainya akan jatuh.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Apakah yang menyebabkan berlakunya peningkatan dan penurunan permintaan?</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>Faktor peningkatan:</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>1. Perkembangan sektor eksport</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Untuk mengimport barangan daripada sesebuah negara, perlu menggunakan mata wang negara tersebut. Negara yang produknya kompetitif di dalam persaingan eksport, nilai mata wangnya kukuh kerana permintaan terhadap mata wangnya tinggi.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>2. Kadar bunga (interest) tinggi</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kadar bunga yang tinggi yang ditetapkan oleh bank negara menjadi tarikan kepada pelabur asing untuk menyimpan di dalam negara tersebut. Secara tidak langsung akan mengembangkan permintaan terhadap mata wangnya.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>3. Peningkatan permintaan di dalam pasaran tukaran mata wang asing</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apabila sesuatu mata wang dijangka nilainya akan meningkat, biasanya akan membawa kepada pembelian mata wang negara tersebut oleh pemain pasaran dan seterusnya melonjakkan nilainya.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>4. Kemasukan pelabur asing</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Negara yang dilihat menjadi destinasi yang menarik untuk perlaburan, akan membawa kemasukan pelabur luar ke dalam negara (capital inflow). Mereka perlu membeli mata wang negara tersebut untuk terlibat di dalam perlaburan di negara tersebut.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>5. Campur tangan bank negara</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Terdapat negara yang sengaja merendahkan mata wangnya seperti yang dilakukan oleh China. Bank pusatnya akan membeli bon terbitan AS supaya mata wangnya akan menjadi lebih rendah daripada dollar. Tindakan ini dibuat supaya barangan lokalnya mampu kekal lebih murah dan mampu mengekalkan momentum persaingan di dalam pasaran eksport.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>6. Kadar pengangguran rendah dan peningkatan pendapatan rakyat</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kadar pengangguran yang rendah dan tahap pendapatan rakyat yang tinggi meningkatkan permintaan wang di dalam pasaran domestik seterusnya meningkatkan nilai mata wang negara tersebut.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>Faktor penurunan:</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>1. Kadar bunga yang rendah</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kadar bunga yang rendah akan mengurangkan tarikan yang ada untuk pelabur luar menyimpan di dalam sesuatu negara.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>2. Peningkatan inflasi</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Inflasi yang tinggi akan mengurangkan kuasa beli yang dimiliki oleh pengguna di dalam sesebuah negara, seterusnya merencatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi negara. Kesannya, ekonomi negara tersebut di nilai sebagai lemah dan tidak stabil oleh pelabur asing.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>3. Aktiviti spekulator</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tindakan spekulator di dalam pasaran tukaran mata wang asing menjual mata wang sesebuah negara dalam jumlah yang besar berupaya menyebabkan kekacauan dan ketakutan di kalangan pasaran saham.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>4. Campur tangan kerajaan</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sepertimana yang pernah dilakukan oleh AS melalui tindakan Quantitative Easing. AS membeli bon terbitan negaranya sendiri dan secara tidak langsung mengwujudkan impresi permintaan yang tinggi terhadap dollar.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Faktor Kejatuhan Nilai Ringgit</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Setelah kita memahami punca naik dan turunnya mata wang sesebuah negara, kita akan lebih mudah untuk mengenal pasti punca penguncupan nilai mata wang negara kita.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>1. Penurunan ketara harga minyak dunia</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mutakhir ini, harga minyak menah dunia telah mencatatkan sejarah apabila mencecah serendah 48 USD/setong pada 19 Januari yang lalu. Penurunan harga hampir 50% daripada harga tahun lalu yang setinggi USD100-115/setong telah menjejaskan pendapatan Malaysia yang merupakan negara pengeksport minyak mentah. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Penghasilan minyak dunia yang meningkat disebabkan oleh kemajuan teknologi AS yang berupaya menghasilkan shale oil dan kelembapan ekonomi yang dialami oleh negara penyumbang utama ekonomi dunia seperti China dan Jepun telah mengurangkan permintaan terhadap minyak seterusnya menjadi faktor kejatuhan harga minyak dunia. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Keputusan Organisasi Negara-negara Pengeksport Minyak (OPEC) yang diwakili oleh Saudi di dalam kenyataan media sebelum ini bahawa mereka tidak akan mengurangkan penghasilan minyak untuk mengembalikan semula harga asal minyak telah memberikan ramalan bahawa harga minyak mentah akan kekal pada kadar yang rendah. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">30% daripada pendapatan Malaysia adalah datang daripada sektor minyak. Di dalam Bajet 2015, diunjurkan bahawa sektor ini bakal menyumbang sejumlah RM 82 billion atau 11.1% daripada Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK).</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Akan tetapi apabila berlaku kejatuhan harga minyak dunia secara drastik sebegini, Malaysia dijangka akan mengalami kehilangan pendapatan sebanyak RM 25 billion. Kelompongan pada pendapatan negara ini tidak dapat ditampung sepenuhnya oleh lebihan yang dinikmati melalui penghapusan subsidi petrol sebanyak RM 18 billion.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">K</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ebimbangan timbul terhadap status Imbangan Akaun Semasa negara (trade account/current account). Akaun semasa adalah jumlah baki perdagangan (jumlah eksport - jumlah import barangan dan perkhidmatan). Penguncupan lebihan pada akaun semasa (import lebih daripada eksport) akan menunjukkan marginal surplus yang makin mengecil.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dibimbangi sekiranya pendapatan melalui aktiviti eksport minyak mentah kita terjejas akan membawa kepada defisit pada akaun semasa seterusnya menjerumuskan Malaysia ke dalam masalah deficit berkembar (twin-deficit).</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>2. Ketidakstabilan ini mengurangkan keyakinan dan tarikan terhadap pelabur luar.</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Polisi dan urustadbir kewangan kerajaan</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sebelum daripada berlakunya kejatuhan harga minyak mentah dunia, ramai penganalisa ekonomi sudah menjangkakan akan berlaku penurunan nilai mata wang Ringgit Malaysia kerana polisi kewangan yang dilihat tidak fleksibel dan kurang mesra pelabur berbanding negara membangun yang menjadi pesaing kepada Malaysia seperti Indonesia dan India.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Malaysia kini dilihat sebagai prospek yang berisiko kepada pelabur; takat hutang awam yang tinggi, peningkatan hutang asing dan penguncupan marginal lebihan akaun semasa telah menjadi antara faktornya.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pegangan hutang oleh pelabur asing mewakili 45% daripada hutang negara telah meletakkan negara Malaysia berada di dalam posisi yang membimbangkan. Ini berbeza dengan Indonesia yang hanya mempunyai 32.5% sahaja hutangnya daripada luar, begitu juga India dengan hanya serendah 2 %.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Semenjak daripada tahun lepas, AS telah meningkatkan kadar faedahnya. Menyebabkan berlakunya kemasukan modal (capital inflow) ke dalam negaranya seterusnya mengukuhkan kedudukan USD itu sendiri.</span></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Perdana Menteri kita, Y.A.B Dato' Seri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak telah mengumumkan kondisi semasa ekonomi Malaysia dan tindakan susulan kerajaan dalam menghadapi kemelut ekonomi ini. Sikap positif dan optimis yang ditunjukkan oleh beliau dalam menanggapi isu ini adalah sesuatu yang saya anggapkan adalah untuk mengelak timbulnya kebimbangan yang melampau di kalangan rakyat dan juga untuk mengelakkan daripada berlakunya krisis keyakinan terhadap kendalian kerajaan. Sikap ini penting supaya, rakyat akan sederap langkah dengan yakin bersama kerajaan dalam mengembleng kudrat memulihkan ekonomi negara kita.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Untuk memudahkan pemahaman pembaca, suka untuk saya rumuskan pelan tindakan kerajaan kepada beberapa isi:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>1. Mengembangkan pasaran eksport dan perlancongan</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nilai mata wang yang rendah telah membuka peluang kepada negara kita untuk bersaing di dalam pasaran eksport kerana produk kita menjadi lebih murah berbanding negara yang stabil nilai mata wangnya. Kerajaan telah menyusun beberapa tindakan untuk memastikan perolehan daripada eksport meningkat seterusnya memastikan Imbangan Akaun Semasa kita sentiasa positif.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Antaranya seperti membantu perusahaan kecil dan sederhana (SME) untuk menerokai pasaran luar dengan mempromosikannya kepada 46 buah negara. Begitu juga meningkatkan kualiti dan capaian tahan logistik dan pengangkutan bagi tujuan perdagangan.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kerajaan juga, bagi merancakkan kemasukan modal daripada luar telah menyusun beberapa pelan untuk mempromosi sektor perlancongan negara kita. Antaranya seperti menghapuskan caj permohonan visa kepada pelancong luar.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>2. Mengurangkan kebergantungan terhadap barangan import</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Barangan import akan menjadi lebih mahal di kala kejatuhan nilai mata wang negara seperti sekarang. Kebergantungan yang tinggi kepada barangan import akan membawa kepada inflasi dan membawa kepada risiko defisit -bekembar.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Justeru, kerajaan telah menyusun beberapa tindakan seperti mempromosi secara aktif perkhidmatan gantian-import seperti perkhidmatan perkapalan, pelabuhan, pendidikan dan profesional. Begitu juga menggalakkan pembelian barangan tempatan di kalangan rakyat dan meningkatkan kekerapan dan memanjangkan tempoh jualan mega di seluruh Malaysia.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>3. Meneruskan pengstrukturan semula pendapatan dan mengkaji perbelanjaan negara</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bagi meningkatkan keyakinan pelabur asing terhadap negara, kerajaan komited untuk mengukuhkan kestabilan ekonomi negara melalui mempelbagaikan sumber kewangan dan mengurangkan kebergantungan kepada hasil minyak dengan meneruskan perlaksanaan Cukai Barangan dan Perkhidmatan yang dijadualkan bermula pada 1 April 2015 ini.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>4. Kerajaan juga akan menghentikan sementara Program Latihan Khidmat Negara</u></b> yang akan membawa kepada penjimatan sebanyak RM 400 juta. Seterusnya, mensasarkan penjimatan sebanyak RM 1.6 billion melalui mengoptimumkan pengurangan perbelanjaan ke atas bekalan dan perkhidmatan, penganjuran majlis dan mesyuarat serta perkhidmatan profesional.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>5. Kerajaan juga akan mengkaji semula pemberian dan geran</u></b> kepada Badan Berkanun Persekutuan, GLC serta Tabung Amanah Kerajaan, terutamanya yang mempunyai aliran pendapatan yang konsisten dan rizab yang tinggi. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Langkah ini dijangka memberi penjimatan sebanyak 3.2 bilion ringgit. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>6. Kerajaan juga akan menjadualkan semula pembelian aset tidak kritikal</u></b> terutamanya peralatan pejabat, perisian dan kenderaan yang mampu memberi penjimatan sebanyak 300 juta ringgit</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>7. Kerajaan tidak mengambil tindakan menghentikan projek mega</u></b> dan memotong kebanyakan perbelanjaan (austerity) dan menggalakkan rakyat berbelanja melalui penganjuran jualan mega dilihat adalah untuk memastikan kitaran ekonomi terus berjalan dan mengelakkan kelembapan ekonomi disebabkan oleh perlahannya kitaran duit dalam negara.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>8. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) juga tidak mengambil keputusan untuk meningkatkan kadar bunganya</u> </b>seperti mana negara yang lain kerana ianya akan membebankan rakyat. Persoalan yang paling utama perlu diamati dan dijawab di dalam menanggapi isu kejatuhan mata wang ini adalah, "Adakah perlu untuk naikkan semula nilai mata wang atau fokus kepada kestabilan ekonomi?".</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Alternatif: Ekonomi Islam?</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Akhir tinta, saya percaya ramai yang ingin mengetahui apakah jawapan di sebalik kekalutan dan kekusutan yang ditimbulkan oleh sistem ekonomi konvensional ini. Jika ditanya pada saya, saya sentiasa optimis bahawa jawapannya adalah dengan kembali kepada Islam. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Jika kita renungi semula sejarah peradaban manusia, kita akan mendapati kerosakan sistem ekonomi pada hari ini adalah berpunca daripada tangan-tangan manusia yang melepaskan diri daripada kerangka wahyu. Sebagai contoh, kita lihat pada sistem kewangan itu sendiri. Bermula daripada peperangan sesama sendiri yang memaksa negara-negara mencetak lebih banyak wang sehingga terpaksa meleraikan ikatan nilai mata wangnya dengan emas.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Seterusnya, pengamalan sistem penghasilan wang (Fractional Reserve System) yang berasaskan kepada riba dan sifat matawang tanpa sokongan sebarang komoditi, telah membawa kita ke dunia yang tidak henti dengan sindrom inflasi. Semua ini terjadi kerana kita membelakangi panduan yang digariskan oleh Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Walaubagaimanapun, kita perlu menerima hakikat bahawa kita sudah berada di dalam krisis ini. Sebaiknya bagi kita yang mendokong penerapan nafas Islam dalam segenap kehidupan termasuk di dalam urusan kenegaraan dan urus tadbir ekonomi hendaklah memikirkan jalan keluar dan alternative kepada permasalahan yang dihadapi sekarang.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Adakah kita perlu memperjuangkan sistem Full-reserve sepertimana yang diperjuangkan oleh ahli ekonomi daripada sekolah aliran Austria? Adakah kita perlu mengikat kembali wang kertas dengan komoditi yang bernilai? Bagaimana pula caranya untuk mengembangkan kredit dan apakah regulasi yang kita akan guna pakai? </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ingin saya tinggalkan kepada kalian banyak lagi persoalan, tetapi cukuplah sekadar yang diatas dahulu sebagai permulaan.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Penutup</b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kejatuhan nilai Ringgit Malaysia memberikan kesan yang ketara kepada kita selaku mahasiswa yang menuntut di luar negara. Jumlah wang saku yang dilihat mengecil, bebanan untuk membayar yuran pengajian semakin memberat, simpanan menggunakan ringgit menyusut kuasa belinya dan pelbagai lagi yang dirasai oleh kita di sini.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pesanan saya, jika kita mempunyai masalah kewangan disebabkan oleh sumber pendapatan yang tidak menentu, laksanakanlah tiga perkara:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>1. Berniaga</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Di Mesir, pasarannya sangat luas untuk diterokai peluang meraih pendapatan. Jumlah pelajar yang mencecah ribuan orang memberi makna bahawa terdapat berbagai keperluan dan kehendak yang wujud. Sama ada terhadap barangan mahupun perkhidmatan. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Saya sering memberitahu rakan saya bahawa "<span style="color: red;"><i><b>kemalasan orang adalah peluang untuk kita</b></i>.</span>" Maka manfaatkanlah kemahiran dan pengetahuan yang kalian miliki. Tetapi pastikan bahawa pekerjaan tersebut selari dengan syariat dan tidak sehingga menganggu pelajaran.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>2. Melabur</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Jika tidak mampu berniaga kerana kesuntukan masa, maka melaburlah dengan wang yang anda ada. Anda boleh membantu rakan yang ingin berniaga tetapi tidak mempunyai modal melalui <span style="color: blue;"><i>konsep Mudharabah</i></span>, atau anda boleh bekerja bersama-sama dengan berkongsi modal melalui konsep Musyarakah. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i><span style="color: red;">Ingat, jangan terperangkap di dalam janji manis skim cepat kaya.</span></i></b></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>3. Berjimat dan memulakan simpanan</u></b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Setelah memperolehi wang, berjimatlah. Pastikan anda tahu kemana setiap sen yang anda belanjakan. Kurangkan perbelanjaan yang tidak perlu. Sentiasa amati perkembangan nilai mata wang, tukarkan simpanan anda ke mata wang yang lebih kukuh atau aset yang dijangka dapat mengekalkan nilainya setelah peredaran masa.</span></div>

By Jeff Siegel | Tuesday, <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT43_com_zimbra_date" style="color: #005a95; cursor: pointer;">June 30th, 2015</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-top: 5px;">
<img alt="Jeff Siegel" border="0" dfsrc="https://images.angelpub.com/2015/02/28491/jeff-siegel-wd.png" saveddisplaymode="" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2015/02/28491/jeff-siegel-wd.png" style="float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;" /><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
He showed up to collect his wife’s pension...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
While waiting in line, this unnamed man from Athens told a reporter that he had worked all his life only to wake up one morning to a disaster like this.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<img alt="Greekman" border="0" dfsrc="https://images.angelpub.com/2015/27/31827/greekman.jpg" height="173" saveddisplaymode="" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2015/27/31827/greekman.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" width="263" />The disaster, as you probably already know, was the crisis into which Greece has now plunged.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
By order of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Greek banks have been shut down until<span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT44_com_zimbra_date" style="color: #005a95; cursor: pointer;">July 6</span> and withdrawals from ATMs limited to no more than 60 euros per day.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Here in the U.S., most folks can’t ever imagine such a thing happening. And in all fairness, I don’t expect such a thing to happen, either. But that’s not to say it never will.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
As Athens resident Eygenia Gekou told a reporter, <em>“I can’t believe it. I keep thinking we will wake up <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT45_com_zimbra_date" style="color: #005a95; cursor: pointer;">tomorrow</span> and everything will be OK. I’m trying hard not to worry.”</em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
While I agree that worrying doesn’t solve anything, the last thing that’ll save Greece now is a good night’s sleep.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Gekou will not wake up <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT46_com_zimbra_date" style="color: #005a95; cursor: pointer;">tomorrow</span> with everything OK.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The new reality for Greece is not stability. It’s crisis. It’s panic. It’s poverty.</div>
<div style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<strong>10 Necessities</strong></div>
<ol style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">
<li><strong>A home:</strong> A place to sleep, eat, and protect you and your family from bad weather and bad people. If you don’t currently own your home, make every effort to do so. As long as you own your own home, you always have the safety and security of a home base.</li>
<li><strong>Land:</strong> Not to grow a pretty lawn, but to grow food. These days, most folks grow food as a hobby. But before there was a supermarket on every street corner, folks grew food to live. Ensuring that you have enough land to grow food and even raise chickens will insulate you from any disruptions in food supplies. Also learn how to freeze, can, and dehydrate your bounty to ensure you have plenty of calories and nutrition during the winter months.</li>
<li><strong>Seeds:</strong> You can’t grow food without seeds. Make sure you have a healthy supply of seeds on hand, and when you harvest your fruits and vegetables, be sure to let a few go to seed so you can collect and store them for future plantings.</li>
<li><strong>Electricity:</strong> Although you don’t need electricity to survive, I’m not talking about just “surviving;” I’m talking about living the kind of life you enjoy <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT51_com_zimbra_date" style="color: #005a95; cursor: pointer;">today</span>. And most would be hard-pressed to enjoy many of the comforts we now take for granted without a steady supply of electricity. Therefore, I suggest ensuring you have one — absent access to the grid. The most secure form of electricity is solar with backup battery storage. Done right, you can generate power during the day while storing excess power that can be used at night. Even in times of economic crisis, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to grab a cold beer out of the fridge and sit in front of your computer watching YouTube videos. Of course, that electricity will also help with heat, air conditioning, water pumps, power tools, and anything else you rely on <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT52_com_zimbra_date" style="color: #005a95; cursor: pointer;">today</span> to say warm, dry, and comfortable.</li>
<li><strong>Firearms:</strong> While I’m not the kind of guy that walks around cities and towns with an AK hanging off my shoulder, one thing is certain: In crisis situations, you have to protect yourself. In the United States, you have the right to purchase and utilize a variety of different firearms to protect yourself from those who wish to do you harm. As long as you know how to use it properly, a firearm is your best protection in uncertain times. As well, if there are ever any disruptions in meat supplies, you can also use your firearm to hunt. Vegetables are delicious, but you need your protein!</li>
<li><strong>Water:</strong> Without a doubt, it’s more important than anything else. Without water, you die. It’s pretty simple, really. So make sure you have a robust supply of clean water that isn’t reliant upon a public water system. Whether it's well water or the ability to collect, clean, and store rainwater, make sure that you and your family never have to go without some high-quality H<sub>2</sub>0.</li>
<li><strong>A good set of tools:</strong> Economic crises can last for months, or they can last for years. If it’s the latter, you may find yourself in a situation where it is simply too cost prohibitive to hire someone to fix things for you. Learn how to do basic home repairs, and make sure you have all the tools you’ll need for even the most unusual repair.</li>
<li><strong>Gold:</strong> Yeah, yeah, I know. A lot of folks these days think gold is a terrible investment. But the bottom line is that there’s always a certain amount of safety with gold. I’m not saying run out and trade all your dollars for it. But to have some stored away in a safe place is always a good idea.</li>
<li><strong>Small bills:</strong> In the event that banks are shuttered and ATMs stop working, it’s always a good idea to have plenty of small bills around in case you need to buy something. If you go out to by some bread and all you have is a twenty-dollar bill, chances are the cashier is not going to be able to give you change. Small bills and even plenty of coins could serve you well if things get sketchy.</li>
<li><strong>Family and friends:</strong> Although these are things you don’t typically buy or store for a rainy day, if a severe economic crisis were to ever hit, the only people you’ll really be able to trust are your friends and family. Keep them close, and work together with them to ensure everyone is safe, well fed, and happy.</li>
</ol>
<div style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
This list is something I’ve adhered to for years. And while it certainly can be amended and edited based on your own personal needs and desires, these 10 items really do serve as a basis for protection from economic crisis.</div>
<div style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
Sure, some folks may look at this list and assume I’m some crazy person who spends his days prepping in the mountains of West Virginia. But the truth is, I’m just a regular guy who simply prefers to adhere to the precautionary principle instead of walking around assuming a group of people with an extraordinary amount of authority can provide for me better than I can provide for myself.</div>
<div style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px; margin-bottom: 1em;">
No reason to worry, but no reason to let blind faith control my destiny.</div>
<div style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">
To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth...</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Bekas Ketua Pengarang Kumpulan New Straits Times Press (NSTP), Datuk A Kadir Jasin mahu menasihatkan kerajaan agar berterus-terang kepada rakyat mengenai<b> realiti ekonomi negara pada masa ini.</b></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cakap Benar Mengenai Ekonomi DALAM siri isu kepemimpinan kali ini, marilah kita berbincang sedikit mengenai ekonomi semasa. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tajuk ini mungkin berat tetapi sangat afdal kepada kelangsungan (survival) negara kita. Saya tidak menyalahkan pemerintah dan media massa kawalannya kerana menghebahkan berita baik dan menguar-uarkan prestasi ekonomi yang dikatakan baik sehingga mendapat pujian pemimpin dunia. Saya akui bahawa angka kasar menunjukkan ekonomi kita sihat. Pertumbuhannya jika diukur daripada keluaran dalam negara kasar (KDNK/GDP) adalah memuaskan. Tetapi angka kasar boleh memesongkan. Misalnya, banyak rumah, kedai dan ruang pejabat didirikan. Pembinaan rumah, kedai dan pejabat yang banyak itu menyumbang kepada pertumbuhan KDNK. Tauke simen, pasir dan keluli buat duit. Perunding dalam dan luar negara buat duit. Pekerja binaan Indonesia, Bangladesh, India dan Myanmar buat duit. Penjaja nasi lemak Melayu di bahu jalan pun buat duit. Tetapi kita juga tahu dan lihat banyak rumah, kedai dan pejabat tidak dijual atau disewakan, tidak didiami dan digunakan. Ada yang ditenggelami lalang, ditumbuhi pokok jejawi atau roboh terus. Iklan untuk dijual dan disewa menyakitkan mata. Inilah yang ahli ekonomi sebut sebagai pertumbuhan yang tidak berkualiti atau penyalahuntukan sumber (misallocation of resources). Bila rumah, kedai dan ruang pejabat tidak digunakan maka tidak berlakulah penokokan nilai (value added) dan kesan serapan (trickle down effect). Kalau rumah dijual dan didiami, kedai disewa dan perniagaan dijalankan, pejabat dibuk dan kakitangan diambil barulah berlaku penokokan nilai dan kesan serapan. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tidak salah Menteri Kewangan Kedua, Ahmad Husni Hazadlah, menyatakan keyakinan yang matlamat mengurangkan defisit belanjawan 2014 kepada 3.5% KDNK masih boleh dicapai walaupun harga minyak jatuh teruk. Begitu jugalah kenyataan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif CIMB, Tengku Zafrul Aziz, bahawa asas ekonomi (economic fundamentals) negara terus kukuh dan Pengarah Eksekutif Institut Kajian Ekonomi Malaysia (MIER), Dr Zakariah Abdul Rashid, melihat prospeks ekonomi sebagai bercampur (mixed). Malangnya, bukan harga minyak mentah saja jatuh. Harga minyak kelapa sawit dan getah sudah lama merudum. Permintaan ke atas komponen elektronik masih kukuh. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tetapi dengan ekonomi dunia diramalkan beku tahun hadapan, permintaan mungkin tidak kekal. Petronas telah pun mengurangkan perbelanjaan modal (capex) dan memberi amaran mungkin tidak boleh membayar dividen yang tinggi kepada kerajaan. Tetapi kalau dipaksa, Petronas akan tambah dividen dan kurangkan lagi capex. Kredibiliti Maklumat Rasmi Soalnya, bolehkah kita percayai dakwaan bahawa fundamental ekonomi kita kukuh apabila bukan saja harga komoditi utama kita jatuh malah kadar tukaran mata wang kita pun jatuh juga? Sangat mengelirukan apabila Gabenor Bank Negara, Zeti Aktar Aziz, berkata bagus apabila nilai ringgit naik dan bagus juga apabila ia jatuh. Harga saham dan jumlah dagangan di Bursa Malaysia semakin menurun. Prestasi syarikat-syarikat yang disenaraikan dengannya lebih banyak yang negatif daripada positif. Boleh kata majoriti melaporkan penurunan keuntungan. Pada 1 Disember, kadar tukaran ringgit jatuh paling banyak dalam sehari sejak Krisis Kewangan Asia 1997-98 kepada RMRM3.4320 bagi satu dolar Amerika. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pada 3 Disember, akhbar The Star (milik MCA dan mewakili sentimen masyarakat perniagaan Cina) menyiarkan analisis pendapatan suku ketiga tahun ini (Julai-September) bagi syarikat-syarikat Bursa Malaysia. Ia mendapati hanya dua daripada lima sektor utama ekonomi meningkat. Automotif naik 18.2% dan Perbankan 1.6% tetapi perkhidmatan jatuh 58.5%, Komoditi jatuh 37.7% dan Minyak&Gas jatuh 29.3%. Perkhidmatan menyumbang lebih daripada 50% kepada kegiatan ekonomi negara. Pada 4 Disember akhbar yang sama menyiarkan analisis prestasi mata wang ringgit. Ia mendapati ringgit jatuh berbanding kebanyakan mata wang rakan perdagangan utama kita. Ringgit jatuh 5.61% berbanding dolar Amerika, 5.58% berbanding dolar Hong Kong, 3.93% berbanding baht, 2.93% berbanding rupee, 2.44% berbanding dolar Taiwan dan 0.95% berbansing dolar Singapura. Duit kita naik berbanding Yen (9.40%), Euro (5.91%), dolar Australia (4.32%), pound Inggeris (2.31%) dan rupiah (0.73%). The Star juga meramalkan yang kelembapan eksport mungkin mengakibatkan Malaysia mengalami defisit kembar (twin deficit) iaitu defisit akaun semasa dan defisit perdagangan. Ia memetik ketua ahli ekonomi AllianceDBS (bank), Manokaran Mottain. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lebih Baik Terus Terang Banyak lagi fakta dan ramalan ekonomi yang menjurus ke arah keadaan yang sukar dan mencabar bagi ekonomi negara tahun ini dan tahun hadapan. Ekonomi Eropah diramalkan menguncup tahun hadapan. Ekonomi Australia sudah mula menurun. Hatta ekonomi China yang perkasa itu pun sudah mula dingin. Jadi, bukankah lebih elok bagi kerajaan mengakui realiti semasa dan berterus terang kepada rakyat jelata. Lebih baik membuatkan mereka kurang gembira dengan menyatakan kebenaran daripada membuatkan mereka marah apabila malapetaka ekonomi melanda mereka. Sama ada ekonomi kita akan mengalami krisis atau tidak tahun hadapan, satu hal. Itulah yang sedang diramalkan oleh pembangkang pusat. Yang utama sekarang adalah berkongsi maklumat secara rasional dan terbuka dengan rakyat jelata. Bukan berdolak-dalik dengan mereka apatah lagi memesongkan mereka dengan berita-berita baik yang sengaja diada-adakan. Rakyat tidak “bangang”. Mereka tahu “practical economy.” Mereka sudah rasa kenaikan harga akibat pemansuhan subsidi. Mereka tahu harga petrol turun tapi harga diesel naik. Mereka rasa pelik. GST belum dilaksanakan tetapi sudah ada barang yang naik harga kononnya kerana cukai baru itu. Mereka tahu harga getah dan kelapa sawit merudum kerana mereka yang mengeluarkannya. Mereka tahu ringgit Malaysia tidak bernilai seperti dulu lagi kerana hari-hari mereka beli-belah sendiri. Jangan tunggu mereka marah. Terus teranglah dengan mereka. Jangan sekali-kali anggap mereka bangang, bodoh, dungu, tongong dan bahlul. </div>

<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Last year, I spent about two months in Miami, living and working within spitting distance of one of the most famous coastlines in the world — populated by the wealthiest and most ostentatious group of foreign ex-pats found anywhere.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
My neighborhood was Sunny Isles, an enclave on the northern end of Dade County characterized by futuristic <a href="http://www.wealthdaily.com/articles/investing-in-luxury-real-estate/5088" style="color: #2b498d; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">high-rise condos</a>, pristine beaches, and an endless procession of exotic cars running up and down the coastal strip of Collins Avenue like a mobile auto show.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="sunnyisles" border="0" height="200" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2014/47/27759/sunnyisles.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
The two major demographics in Sunny Isles are Russian and Brazilian, with native-born Americans coming in third at about 13%.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Regardless of nationality, however, the one unifying factor among most everyone who lived on that section of beach was, of course, wealth.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Aside from the overt, sometimes over-the-top ritziness, places that concentrate wealth also tend to concentrate unusual personalities.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Over the seven years that I've been visiting that somewhat strange, somewhat surreal part of the world, I've made a lot of friends, but there's one in particular whose wisdom I keep going back to in my mind.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
When I first met him last fall, I didn't really make much of him.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
He's Russian-born, just like me, but he didn't arrive in the U.S. until the '90s, when he was already in his 20s.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
My cousin, who lived in downtown Miami at the time, brought me to a pier at the famous Marina Del Mar at around 2 p.m.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<img alt="marina" border="0" height="170" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2014/47/27760/marina.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="320" /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
He'd been trying to get me to meet this mysterious "Grisha" (Russian diminutive for Gregory) for weeks and grew more excited the closer we got to the slip.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
And I admit, when I saw the gleaming, 88-foot twin-masted sailboat he brought me to, I had to stop and take it in for a moment.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Two summers ago, I spent a week sailing a 45-foot catamaran around the Aeolian Islands off of Sicily. Our boat was nice, but this thing was in a whole different class.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Walking onboard this beast, I thought it was deserted until I noticed a single, shirtless body laying face-up in the shade on a padded bench just off to the side of the wheel.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
He was about 5'6" and tanned like he'd just spent a year marooned on a treeless island. As we approached him, he was immediately jarred awake and sat up.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Judging by the empty tumbler beside his sleeping arrangement, he'd been into the vodka sodas, and judging by the ashtray beside that tumbler, he wasn't afraid of some full-strength Marlboro Reds, either.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
So I figured he was another rich nitwit with more money than brains and not an idea in the world of what to do with himself.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<strong>Don't Judge a Book By its Shirtless Cover</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
That couldn't have been further from the truth.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Inside this day drinker was the soul of a real entrepreneur.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
You see, Grisha had started off as a self-taught investor right around the time online trading came around.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
In fact, one of his very first trades was in E-Trade itself in the first half of 1998.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Shares of E-Trade got to reap the benefits of both the rapid acceptance of online brokerage accounts and the dot-com bubble — which was going into exponential expansion.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<img alt="etrade" border="0" height="172" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2014/47/27762/etrade.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Grisha sold his shares less than a year later for a 1,000% gain — and just in time, too.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Within a few months, the bubble had popped, sending everything back down to Earth.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
He rolled those earnings into several more <a href="http://www.wealthdaily.com/articles/how-to-become-a-venture-capitalist/5281" style="color: #2b498d; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">development-stage companies</a>, and by the time the Dow was hitting its pre-recession peaks in 2007, Grisha had a liquid net worth well into the eight-figure range.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
As he told me over multiple Ketel One and sodas that afternoon, he's been lucky twice in his trading career...</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
The moment he entered the market, right as Internet revolution was going manic, and the moment he exited, right before the real estate bubble pulled the national economy into a death spiral.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Everything in between, however — where he made a vast majority of his money — came from good, old-fashioned diligence and persistence.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<strong>Words to Remember</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
The most concise piece of advice anybody's ever given me on the subject of trading came from his lips when he said, “It's not how much you make on each trade — it's how much you<em> don't lose.”</em></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
It sounds a little counterintuitive, I know, but here's what he meant — and mind you, this is advice worth billions in the right hands:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Given enough time, a scientific, thoroughly analytical trader will always win.</span></b></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
His wording was a bit flipped around, but what he meant by "not losing" was being able to stay in the game long enough to win big.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
It's the same principal on which casinos rake in billions each year. The house's odds of winning any individual game or contest are just a few percentage points (sometimes just fractions of a percentage point) better than the player.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
In trading, that means you only need two variables in place to wind up on top: a slight statistical advantage and a long enough timeline.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
There is no trick to it at all... And anyone who tells you they have a trick or a system or an algorithm that guarantees victory is full of it.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
The only way you can succeed as a trader, whether it's a full-time job or just something you do for fun and maybe some extra pocket change, is to consistently make trades with more than half a chance of succeeding.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
</div>
<div id="bottomsignupbox" style="font-size: 14px; text-align: center;">
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0in; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<strong>Math, Not Magic</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
The diligence part comes in finding that edge — because in the world of investing, macro variables like recessions, poor political climate, and market bubbles can lower the chance of even a seemingly safe blue-chip investment below that 50% mark.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
To isolate the highest-probability winners, you need to filter out the dead and the dying prospects and go only for those with great return and growth potential.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Some will fail, but over a sufficient period, the gains will stack up, compound, and put a trader on a path similar to Grisha's.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Ironically, when Grisha moved out of the stock market, he moved into private equity — or venture capitalism, which, statistically, is far more risky than your average public microcap stock.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
He applied the same principles to that, and the result... well, the result was spending a Saturday working off an early afternoon hangover with follow-up drinks onboard a $4 million toy.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
That day bled into the evening, and at night, as more people joined us and meaningful conversation on wealth creation decayed into the usual mixture of small talk and overly boisterous laughter, things got a bit blurry.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Grisha and I became fast friends, and in the months that followed, he told me lots of other stories, but it was that first, elegant reflection that sticks out:</div>
<blockquote>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>“It's not how much you make — it's how much you don't lose.”</b></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Trade long enough, and if you're good, you'll win.</b></span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
It's a principal that's as universal to successful investors as the quest for torque is to drag racers, and it doesn't take a strange eccentric like Grisha to typify it.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<strong>A Common Thread Among the Elites</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Just about every successful investor I know follows the same philosophy.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Even the most famous of them all, Warren Buffett, has followed the exact same pattern of consistently seeking out that seemingly narrow edge through his years of trades.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Now, the concept is simple. But getting that edge... well, that's where it gets complicated.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Again, there is no system, no trick. The only method that works is to brush away the useless, dead, and dying and go with the best of what's left.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Every trader has his own specific method for vetting the winners from the average and sub-average outfits, but some of the essential variables are universal.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
<strong>Two Pieces of the Puzzle</strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
When it comes to microcap stocks — the fastest-moving variety there is outside of private equity — you can remove a majority of the field just by filtering based on <em>two requirements</em>:</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Profit margin and dividends.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
A weak or nonexistent profit margin means the business model is either unestablished or questionable.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
A dividend for a microcap is nothing but a poor allocation of earnings. Small companies need to reinvest in growth, not trickle profits away to their shareholders.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
And the shareholders should thank them for it.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Eliminate based on those two metrics alone, and your battle in finding companies with a better-than-average chance of succeeding is already more than halfway done.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
But to really make it, you need to take it further.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Again, there is no trick or system to guarantee success, but there is a way for you to minimize the risk down to almost complete insignificance.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Apply this to a breed of stocks that produces triple-digit returns on a routine basis, and success on a level you've probably not allowed yourself to imagine can be within reach.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
It's been a long-time goal of mine to distill this method into a few simple rules.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
Just last month, I believe I finally hit the nail on the head, as I broke it down into just five basic steps every microcap investor needs to accept to gain that essential edge.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
I've already hinted at two of those rules when I mentioned profit margins and dividends... But to get the full picture, you'll need some details.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
I've put together a report that not only explains everything but also provides some great examples of what happens when this methodology is put to use.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">
You'll be amazed at what people with little or no previous trading experience have accomplished.</div>

<div style="background-color: #e8ebec; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #595959;">Most people will think that success in Forex trading depends entirely on the system or trading strategy you use. In truth, it doesn’t. What it actually depends on, the foundation upon which true success as a trader is built is your</span><b><span style="color: #cc0000;"> mindset </span></b><span style="color: #595959;">and </span><b><span style="color: #38761d;">psychology</span></b><span style="color: #595959;"> – how you think and feel about the market and how you react to it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #e8ebec; color: #595959; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Forex websites trying to sell some indicator or robot-based trading system won’t tell you this, because they want you to believe in their products and that you can make money with them. That’s the source of most of the stories you hear about people who attempt Forex trading and lose money. They come into the market with unrealistic expectations, such as thinking they are going to quit their jobs after a month of trading or thinking they are going to turn $1,000 into $100,000 in a few months. They create a mindset that pressures them with the need to make money and end up trading emotionally – the fastest way to LOSE your money.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e8ebec; color: #595959; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
I have a friend that says, “I’m not here to be your friend. A friend will tell you what you want to hear. I’m here to be your BEST friend, someone who will tell you what you NEED to hear.” While it is very important to have an effective and uncomplicated trading strategy, it is even more important to manage your emotions around your trades. You need both to experience long-term success in trading.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e8ebec; color: #595959; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Before you even start thinking about trading and risking your hard earned money, before we even start discussing strategy, if you feel you want to explore trading as a means of growing your income and wealth portfolio, you need to enter the market with the right mindset.</div>
<div style="background-color: #e8ebec; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: blue;">Discipline</span></span><br /><span style="color: #595959;">The first thing you need to understand is that trading is a discipline. It is a long-term game of probabilities, you will win some trades, you will lose on some trades, but as long as you a disciplined enough to stick to your trading strategy, to not be emotionally attached to your losses, or worse your wins, you will tend to make more winning trades than losing trades and nett a profit.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #e8ebec; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #990000;">Mastery</span></span><br /><span style="color: #595959;">You need to know what your trading strategy is and you need to master it. You have to know it inside and out and have absolutely no doubts or questions about that the market needs to look like before you risk your money in a trade. You have to become a “sniper.” Once the market conditions match your strategy criteria, you place your trade, without the fear holding you back.</span></div>

The moment you loosen your control over your trades, you allow emotion to creep in and before you know it, you’re in a downward spiral of emotional Forex trading and losing trades. Only risk the money you are prepared to lose in every trade. In fact, you should go in expecting to lose on any given trade so that you’re constantly aware of the very real possibility of it happening.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #e8ebec; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: lime;">Plan</span></span><br /><span style="color: #595959;">You need to be very organized. Have a trading plan and journal to track your trades consistently. Think of Forex trading as a business rather than placing a bet in a casino. Invest with your calculator and not your heart, stay calm in your dealings with the market.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: gandhiserif-regular-webfont, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
The exchange rate is one of the most important determinants of a country's relative level of economic health. It plays a vital role in trade, which is critical to most free market economies. But exchange rates matter on a smaller scale too. They even impact the real return of an investor's portfolio. Here we’ll look at the main factors influencing exchange rates.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: gandhiserif-regular-webfont, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Factor 1: Differentials in Inflation.</span></b> As a general rule, a country with a consistently lower inflation rate exhibits a rising currency value, as its purchasing power increases relative to other currencies. Those countries with higher inflation typically see depreciation in their currency's value in relation to the currencies of their trading partners.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: gandhiserif-regular-webfont, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px;"><b><span style="color: blue;">Factor 2: Differentials in Interest Rates</span></b>. By manipulating interest rates, central banks exert influence over both inflation and exchange rates. Higher interest rates offer lenders a higher return relative to other countries. The impact of higher interest rates is mitigated, however, if a country's inflation is much higher than other countries', or if additional factors serve to drive their currency value down. The opposite relationship exists for </span><em style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px;">decreasing</em><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px;"> interest rates.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: gandhiserif-regular-webfont, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px;"><b><span style="color: #351c75;">Factor 3: Current-Account Deficits.</span></b> The current account is the balance of trade between a country and its trading partners, reflecting all payments between countries for goods, services, interest and dividends. A deficit in the current account shows a country is </span><em style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px;">importing</em><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px;"> goods and services more than it is</span><em style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px;">exporting</em><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px;"> them. The country will then typically borrow capital from foreign sources to make up the deficit, causing its currency to depreciate relative to its trading partner. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: gandhiserif-regular-webfont, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
<b><span style="color: magenta;">Factor 4: Public Debt. </span></b> Countries will engage in large-scale deficit financing to pay for public sector projects using governmental funding. While such activity stimulates the domestic economy, nations with large public deficits and debts are less attractive to foreign investors. This is because a large debt encourages more inflation, and higher inflation translates into lower currency value.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: gandhiserif-regular-webfont, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Factor 5: Terms of Trade.</span></b> A country's <em>terms of trade</em> is a ratio comparing export prices to import prices. If the price of a country's exports rises by a greater rate than that of its imports, its terms of trade have favorably improved, which tends to show currency appreciation. However, if the price of a country's <em>imports</em>rises more than the rate of <em>exports</em>, their currency's value will decrease in relation to trading partners.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: gandhiserif-regular-webfont, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
<b><span style="color: orange;">Factor 6: Political Stability and Economic Performance. </span></b> Foreign investors inevitably seek out stable countries with strong economic performance in which to invest their capital. Political turmoil, for example, can cause a loss of confidence in a currency, and a movement of capital to the currencies of more stable countries.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0.150000005960464px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: gandhiserif-regular-webfont, Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25.5px; padding-bottom: 0px;">
The return of a portfolio that holds currency is affected by that currency's exchange rate. Moreover, the exchange rate is highly correlated to other income factors, such as interest rates, inflation and even capital gains from domestic securities.</div>

<strong>After silver's recent fall, a rare scenario has formed that can only be called...</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 24pt;"><strong>Silver's "Doubling Effect"</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Because of this phenomenon...<br />Every time silver gains 1%.. you make 2%.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A 25% gain pays 50%... A</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> 100% gain pays 200%!</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">But you'd better hurry. The price of silver may<br />very soon super-spike higher than $237/oz.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br />
Dear Reader,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
What I'm about to share with you is no coincidence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
It's not a temporary trend, either.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Instead, it's a moneymaking development so powerful that our team of researchers spent the past eight months investigating it... <span style="text-decoration: underline;">just to make sure it was real.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Take a look and you'll see why:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="tcn-silver-double-charts1-2" border="0" height="126" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2013/46/22166/tcn-silver-double-charts1-2.png" style="border: 0px none;" width="400" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
First, let me say that these charts are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">NOT</span> duplicates. The one on the left represents the closing price of physical silver over the past few months. The one on the right is the investment we're following extremely closely.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Now, at first they appear virtually identical...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And they should. One is directly based on the other.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>But that's where the similarities end.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
How so?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Just check out the two charts again — only this time, with gains attached:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="tcn-silver-double-charts3-4" border="0" height="126" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2013/46/22167/tcn-silver-double-charts3-4.png" width="400" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
From June 27 through August 27, 2013, physical silver prices soared 32.2%.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
But the diamond in the rough we uncovered soared an astonishing 71.2% — <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>more than doubling</em> the gains silver attained!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
I know, it looks crazy.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
In fact, when we first heard about this opportunity, we couldn't believe it, either...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
(Scratch that — we thought our source had been drinking a little too much Maker's Mark.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
After all, how could an investment exist that is directly related to silver prices...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>That pays you DOUBLE the gains silver makes?</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">A 25% gain pays you 50%... a 50% gain doubles your money... and so on!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
It seems completely illogical.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And that's why we kept this discovery under wraps... until now.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
You see, before we could show you an opportunity this powerful, we needed to know exactly what we had.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We also needed to know how and when would be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the best time</span> for hungry investors like you to start taking advantage of it...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Today, that's exactly what I'm prepared to show you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>How Capitol Hill Could Make You Filthy Rich</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Imagine for a moment that you knew about certain factors — <em>already in place</em> — that would cause the price of silver to start skyrocketing as soon as next month...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Even better, you knew you were facing a "bottom" in silver prices, and that this imminent surge could last a couple of years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Taking advantage of this one-of-a-kind investment at the right time, you'd be able to ride the coming wave and easily collect a fortune — <strong>safely pulling in twice the gains silver makes.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
The best part is, unlike other investors who are buying expensive futures contracts or taking delivery of physical silver, you don't need a lot of money to get started...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
In fact, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">you can begin collecting "The Doubling Effect" with as little as $25.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
All you need to know is <em>when</em>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And, thanks to the boys on the Hill, we don't have to look for any crazy trends around the corner, pore through complicated computer models, or rely on overpaid, so-called "experts" to tell you when silver prices are going to surge.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
The truth is all you have to do is thank two separate trillion-dollar wars, the printing of $1 trillion per year in "free money," and a national debt that is now hovering around $17 trillion.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">In fact, it's because of the Federal Reserve's last-ditch efforts to keep the U.S. economy afloat that <strong>we're now staring straight at the largest inflationary period in years.</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And it'll blow wide open... as soon as January!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
You see, broke Uncle Sam doesn't really have the cash on hand for this unprecedented funding. And if you think for a second that every single employed American (and there aren't many of them these days) is going to be taxed additional thousands each year to pay for it — in an <em>already</em> stretched-thin economy — think again...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
In reality, every dollar the Fed has printed <strong>has made all dollars worth less.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
After all, the more of something there is, the less value it has. <em>That's inflation.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And with as much Monopoly Money as we've printed, an inflationary shockwave is sure to sweep across the entire nation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">As I'm sure you know, when there's inflation — even the rumor of inflation — silver prices do something beautiful...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>They skyrocket.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And the proof that silver's already revving its engine is all around us:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<li>In August, UBS reported that global central bank precious metal buying was "substantially higher" than in previous months, with over half a million pounds purchased in July alone.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<li>Investors seeking safer investments are buying so much physical silver that bullion dealers as well as producers can't keep up. The U.S. Mint has set several sales records this year.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<li>Consumer demand for silver is at its highest level ever, and 2013 silver sales will set an all-time record.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And that's just in the short term.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
I haven't even shown you why...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>History Will Repeat:</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Silver Prices Could Super Spike to $237...</strong></span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><br />Making You a Massive Fortune Along the Way!</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Right now, silver sells for around $25 an ounce.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
But current factors at play —<em> happening this very moment </em>— could soon make the $25 mark look like pocket change.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
With the investment tool we uncovered, if silver doubles in price to $50, you'll make 200%.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>That turns every $1,000 you invest into $2,000.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
For reasons I'm about to show you, though, you could soon reap much more than that...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
At the beginning of this century, you would've laughed in my face if I told you silver would soon shoot up over 1,000%.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Silver traded below $8.00 for virtually all of the 1990s.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
In 2001, silver's price spent long stretches below $4.20 an ounce. And it languished there until the early signs of crisis began to show themselves.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Silver began 2005 below $6.50. It finished the year closer to $9.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
It crested $15 in 2006... touched $21 in 2008... closed 2010 above $30... and ultimately peaked at $48.70 in April 2011.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>When the smoke cleared, silver had turned in a ten-year run worth 1,059% — climbing from $4.20 to over $48.00 per ounce.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
If today's silver bull market makes a similar move forward, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">silver prices could skyrocket well past $237 an ounce.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Just take a look:</div>

Now, silver prices at $237 may seem like a stretch — especially considering the fact that the white metal hasn't had much strength over $35.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Nevertheless, $237 silver is absolutely possible.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Here's why...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>How a Metal Bull Market Works</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Every major metal bull market in modern history has consisted of three main stages:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>1. Currency Devaluation Stage</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>2. Investment Demand Stage</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; padding-left: 30px;">
<strong>3. Mania Stage</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
During these three stages, silver prices typically rise in a parabolic upswing, which ultimately results in a sharp, skyrocketing price spike.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Take, for example, the Great Depression...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Silver went from $0.254 to $0.437 from 1932 to 1933 — a one-year gain of 72%.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
It then spiked higher than $0.58 over the next two years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Or consider the 1970s, when silver started the decade at $1.63 and finished it at over $21 per ounce — a gain of 1,188%!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Right now we are staring straight at those kinds of silver gains, yet again.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
So far in today's silver bull market, we've seen evidence of the first two stages...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
During the first stage of a silver bull market, prices increase because of currency devaluation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
So far in<em> this </em>bull market, a dramatic drop in the value of the U.S. dollar against other world currencies has lifted silver prices. That began in 2001 and 2002, when the U.S. dollar index stood at 120. Silver traded for $4.20.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
By 2006, after a dot-com bust and with two wars blaring, the dollar index had fallen to 88. Silver traded for $9.80.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Bernanke was appointed in 2006.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
By 2011, the U.S. dollar index had fallen below 74.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
The very month the dollar index bottomed — April 2011 — silver prices topped at over $48.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="tcn-silver-double-chart7" border="0" height="246" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2013/46/22170/tcn-silver-double-chart7.png" width="400" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
The dollar's value FELL by 38% in a decade.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Silver WENT UP over 1,000%.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>Silver's recent fall was only a pause in this bull market, a breather from the race.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Because here we are — a $17 trillion debt, years of money printing we can't afford, an economy that just won't heal... and we're about to add some dynamite to an<em> already</em>highly explosive silver situation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
In the second stage, silver prices continue to grow due to increased investment demand.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Attracted by the gains of the first stage of the silver bull market, investors begin to buy silver as an investment, which further snowballs the price of silver higher.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And with today's screaming demand for physical silver, the introduction of silver ETFs and other similar products... investment demand has had incredible strength since the beginning of this silver bull market, growing in terms of both tonnage and dollar demand.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<img alt="tcn-silver-double-chart8" border="0" height="277" src="https://images.angelpub.com/2013/46/22171/tcn-silver-double-chart8.png" width="400" /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Again, the first and second stages of a silver bull market generally return considerable gains. In fact, silver prices in this bull market have increased as much as 423%, from $9.17 an ounce in 2006 to over $48.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>Of course, with the investment tool that I'm about to show you, that 423% return could've stuffed your pockets with more than 840% gains!</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Don't worry if you missed it. Truth be told, it's the third and final stage of a silver bull market that can turn everyday investors into instant millionaires...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>The Mania Stage of a Silver Bull Market could Hand YOU<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Several Thousand Percent Gains</span> in Short Order</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Everyone knows there's no rush like a metals rush.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And a speculative mania can kindle an inferno of popular greed that rivals that of the Conquistador's legendary lust for gold.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>During the third stage of a bull market, mania buying finally turns silver's parabolic upswing into a blistering price spike.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Make no mistake, mania stage is already beginning...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And this time, it's happening across the entire globe:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<li>Earlier this year, the U.S. Mint suspended sales for its American Eagle one-ounce silver coin.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<li>Holdings in ETFs backed by silver are at an all-time high — over 44 million pounds!</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<li>Monthly silver sales from the Perth Mint are averaging TWICE the monthly sales in 2012.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<li>U.S Mint sales of silver are up 45% over last year.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And this rapidly spreading shortage is only the beginning of what is bound to launch silver prices to levels of mass hysteria... making those on top of the wave filthy rich.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Now let me tell you how you can...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Double Your Silver Profits Using This Unique Investment Tool</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-attachment: scroll; background-color: #dddddd; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 50%; background-repeat: repeat; float: right; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 10px; width: 270px;">
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 10px; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>7 Major Reasons to Invest in Silver </strong></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 10px;">
1. The amount of silver consumed annually and bought for investment currently exceeds total annual mining output — and has for years.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 10px;">
2. The last time silver was found in huge concentrations or veins was in the Comstock Lode in Nevada in the late 1800s.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 10px;">
3. Silver is the most conductive metal on earth.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 10px;">
4. Silver is an essential element in the electronic gadgets that are a growing part of our digital age. It is a critical component of every cellphone, smartphone, tablet, computer keyboard, solar cell, and radio frequency ID device (RFID).</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 10px;">
5. Silver's industrial demand should increase 60% to 666 million ounces per year by 2016 from 487 million ounces per year in 2010.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 10px;">
6. Of a total of 50 billion ounces of silver that have been mined in history, only 2 million ounces (estimate), or 5%, remain in aboveground inventories available to be bought and sold.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12px; margin: 10px;">
7. Silver also has many medicinal applications. Roman soldiers long ago noticed that if water is kept in silver cups, it wouldn't become stagnant. Today silver in "colloidal" form is used as a broad-spectrum antibiotic.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
During the midst of the Great Recession, one of the world's leading international investment managers quietly launched a new, one-of-a-kind investment vehicle designed to double the daily return of silver prices.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Mind you, this investment has been all but ignored by media since its launch.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Silver, after all, has never been understood or appreciated by the mainstream, despite its historic economic significance.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Still, for every 1% increase in the price of silver, this new silver investment vehicle delivers a positive 2% return.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">There's no investment club to join. You won't have to open a special account to get in on the action. It trades on the NYSE.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Plus, it's completely liquid — and easy to add to any stock account you own right now.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
To top it off, as you already know, <strong>now</strong> is the time you want to be in silver!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Yes, silver prices have pulled back quite a bit... but for all the reasons I just laid out for you, it simply can't stay this low for long.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Sooner or later, the U.S. dollar will collapse. It's imminent.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
In fact, we're already uncovering tons of evidence to prove that it's already started.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And it's launching the mania buying stage to previously unthinkable levels... making this new silver investment vehicle a true "no-brainer."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Now, before I get into the details of how you could start collecting DOUBLE silver's profits, let me briefly introduce myself...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Watching from <em>The Crow's Nest</em></strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Hi. I'm Jimmy Mengel.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
I'm Angel Publishing's managing editor of<em> Outsider Club</em> and our financial planning advisory, <em>The Crow's Nest</em>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Where, exactly, does the name <em>"The Crow's Nest"</em> come from?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
In the days of naval conquest, explorers were only as good as their lookout...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
The best lookouts were built atop the highest point of a ship's mast, an area aptly named after the birds that would often perch there: the crow's nest.<em><br /></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
While dangerous to climb, it was there that the lookout could see for miles out and identify any hazards, traps, or storms, well before they threatened the ship.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Not only did they spot potential threats and dangers, but a good lookout could spy treasure, land, and opportunity to safely guide the captain to riches and prosperity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
It is for this reason that the success of most ships depended on the crow's nest.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
As you can imagine, today's financial landscape shares much with the high seas of pirate lore. The world of personal finance is filled with tricks, traps, fees, and scalawags...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
But instead of Blackbeard coming for your booty, you have bankers, money managers, and government officials with their beady eyes fixed on emptying your pockets.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">It's time to wake up and take matters into your own hands — not just with investments, but in every financial aspect of your life.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
After all, you are the captain of your own ship.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
But a captain is only as good as his crew... and that's why we at <em>The Crow's Nest</em> are ready to break our backs for you.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We are your own personal lookout, at your service and ready to steady the turbulent seas of finance.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We will demystify your finances and arm you with the knowledge and research you need to save, grow your money, and prosper — all on your own.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong><em>The Crow's Nest</em> will teach you, step by step, how to completely take control of your finances — <span style="text-decoration: underline;">from buying stocks to plotting your retirement, taking advantage of tax breaks, and simply plugging the money leaks that threaten to sink your finances.</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
And of course, <em>The Crow's Nest</em> will reveal how you can make DOUBLE silver's daily return... starting today!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Get Started Doubling Your Silver Profits</strong></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
To receive your free silver report, all I ask is that you agree to a risk-free $69 trial of <em>The Crow's Nest</em>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>The Crow's Nest</em> isn't your normal investment advisory...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>It is the definitive resource for investors seeking profits — and protection — in a precious metals bull market with no end in sight.</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
It's where investors burned by the financial crisis are now turning, as a safe haven alternative to the agenda-guided mainstream financial media.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Truth is in our <em>Crow's Nest</em> portfolio, we disqualify 99.9% of the mining and precious metals plays out there...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
But when we're fully 100% behind a potential lucrative investment — like this rare silver opportunity — you'll get the trade recommendation in a moment's notice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We tell you what to buy, when to sell, and when to hold... so you can enjoy the greatest gains possible.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Plus, every month you'll receive profit-producing research, including my special <em>Crow's Nest</em> reports and urgent updates, as well as unrestricted access to <em>The Crow's Nest</em>exclusive members' site...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<strong>All for just $69 a year. That's less than $0.24 a day!</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
In other words, for less than a stick of gum, you can begin receiving my <em>Crow's Nest</em>advisory... in addition to getting a free copy of my new special report, <strong>"Silver's Doubling Effect</strong>.<strong>"</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
The intel in that report — combined with what you'll see in the monthly updates — has the potential for payoffs so large, you may never go back to your broker for advice again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<em>Let me help you make those returns.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Now, I should tell you that I can't promise this deeply discounted $69 price I'm offering will remain that low for long...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
My publisher's already talking of hiking the price by several hundred dollars more per year. (Not that I can blame him. I've seen other services boasting a fraction of the returns I've delivered to investors like you over the years charging as much as $5,000.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">
However, locking in a one-year membership guarantees that you receive <em>The Crow's Nest</em> at the low rate of $69 — even after other people start paying a higher rate.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you have a ferocious
appetite for spending beyond your means, you’re not alone. According to a
survey, of the 52% of people who habitually overspend, many balance the
shortfall by taking from their savings, and 22% rely on credit cards. Blowing
all your money each month is not a realistic pathway to wealth. Start tracking
where your money goes each month, check where you can cut back, and create a
‘realistic’ budget that allows you to pay your bills and invest in a retirement
account or an emergency fund.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Welcome to the club! The
personal savings percentage in the US is a measly 4.9% of disposable income.
Saving should become a priority if you want to accumulate wealth. Start with an
emergency fund. Once your emergency fund is substantial, you can redirect small
amounts toward other goals like purchasing a home or paying for college.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 13.85pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Certain debts are a precursor
to financial success, like purchasing real estate or starting a business;
however, a high-interest credit card balance is not. Pay off credit cards with
the highest rates first.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Without a definite, clearly
defined plan, becoming rich will seem like an unbelievable dream. This alone
will solidify your excuses for overspending and not saving. As the saying goes,
“Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.” Putting together a financial plan may
seem tedious, but it doesn’t have to be, and you can get used to it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Experts say you need at least
six months of income saved in case of an emergency. Life is tricky, and not
having some type of safety net can turn a comfortable situation into a
disaster.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Time is slipping by. Just like
starting an exercise routine, the most difficult part about saving is getting
started. Even if you have debt, a small income, or many expenses, you can save
something, even if it’s only a small amount.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I don’t
earn enough money”; “Life is too expensive”; “It’s hopeless, I’ll never get out
of debt.” Have you uttered any of these statements before, or perhaps all of
them? Old habits die hard; however, as long as you do nothing to change,
nothing will change. Stop complaining and making excuses. Instead, take
responsibility for your non-productive habits and concentrate on how to change
them – and then do it!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It’s no
fun getting serious and thinking about retirement and all that stuff.
Nonetheless, eventually it has to be done. The problem is that impulsive and
unregulated spending leads to debt… period! Do yourself a big favor: Get rid of
the ‘buy now, worry later’ attitude, and switch to a ‘save now, get rich later’
way of thinking.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You
might get lucky by wagering all your money on one type of investment. Just like
you might get lucky winning the lottery. But that’s not a strategy to live by,
or for getting rich. Putting all your money in one place is not advised because
it puts you at too much risk. Your investment portfolio should include multiple
investments with varied levels of risk and ROI potential and liquidity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 13.85pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You may
be one of those people who believe that somehow something will come along and
save you, so why bother with saving or trying to get out of debt? Maybe you
will get lucky and land a fantastic job, receive a big pay raise, inherit
money, hit the lottery, or whatever! But ‘whatever’ won’t cut it if you really
want to become rich. Yes, life is uncertain. No one knows what will, or will
not, actually happen; therefore, why not focus on what you can control today?
Get it together now and save yourself, in case someone or something else won’t.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 13.85pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 9.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One
thing you can be sure of: You are already rich. Think about it. If someone came
to you and offered you a million dollars for your arm, would you give it up?
Why not, you have two; you can surely spare one of them! Of course the answer
would be no! Being rich is more than physical ownership; it’s a state of
happiness and well-being, while wishing the same for others. So while you are
working on getting rich materially, remember to be happy along the way!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Sekitar 250 tahun yang lalu, Sun Tzu, seorang jendral besar, master strategi dan taktik perang dari China menulis filosofi perangnya dalam suatu tulisan yang berjudul “The Art of War”. Di dalamnya berisi prinsip-prinsip simpel namun sangat vital untuk memenangkan suatu perang. Mungkin bila saat itu Sun Tzu terlahir sebagai trader, dia akan menjadi seorang trader yang hebat.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Dewasa ini, para veteran trader di Wall Street menggunakan teknik filosofi perang Sun Tzu untuk menghasilkan profit dalam berinvestasi forex dan komoditi.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana"; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><big style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Art of Trading</big></span></b><br />
Dalam suatu chapter dari tulisan “the Art of War” ada suatu prinsip yang disorot dan diinterpretasikan oleh kalangan trader di Wall Street untuk digunakan sebagai prinsip vital dalam forex trading, index trading ataupun komoditas gold trading dan oil trading.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Berikut adalah interpretasi strategi Sun Tzu yang diterapkan menjadi suatu prinsip trading :</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; border-left-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin: 0px 0px 1.538em 0.769em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0.769em;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I am the general, commander of my forces. As general, I am responsible for understanding where the market has been (trend lines), it’s strength (bull, bear or sideways) and on what ground it is in at any point in time (Asia, London, New York).</i></div>
<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></i><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The general starts all the engagements with the enemy, EURO/USD or GBP/USD, Gold or OIl. The time and place is based on his interpretation of the information that he has gathered before hand. The preparations for this engagement include gauging the strength of the opponent’s moves, volatility, and direction of movements: long and short term trends.</i></div>
<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
He also chooses a strategy (buy or sell, long or short term) and asset commitments.<br />
All this he ponders in his temple. When the plans are made, he waits for the enemy to provide an opening and the starts the battle.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Once a battle has started, the general will modify his plans to account for movements of the enemy (price action, changes of ground).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The general will practice responding to enemy movements, honing his skills both in battle and in the practice field.</div>
</i><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This general is a guerrilla fighter. He does not have the resources to go head to head with the enemy. The fight is always on the flanks and is not able to see the full strength of the enemy, but can feel the effects of the enemy’s movements instantly and must be able adjust his adjust his attack using discipline and methods learned in battle and instruction.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

Bila diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa indonesia dari sisi seorang trader,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Trader adalah seorang jendral, seorang komandan dari dana yang dia tradingkan. Sebagai seorang jendral, trader bertanggung jawab menentukan strategi trading untuk memahami dimana market forex sekarang ini (trend lines), kekuatan market forex sekarang ini (bull, bear atau sideways) dan kawasan medan perang tempat saya bertempur (sesi market Asia, London atau New York).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Untuk mendukung strategi trading yang digunakan, seorang trader harus terlebih dahulu mempersiapkan segala kebutuhan sebelum menyerang musuh (pair forex, Gold atau Oil), waktu dan tempat medan perang berdasarkan segala informasi (news kalender ekonomi atau isu-isu market yang beredar) dan interpretasi dari informasi tersebut. Persiapan perang ini termasuk didalamnya mengukur kekuatan gerakan musuh, volatilitas dan arah dari gerakan musuh (short term atau long term trend).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Seorang trader membuat suatu strategi trading (buy atau sell, long term atau short term trading) dan margin trading dari dana yang digunakan (money management). Setelah semua data dan prediksi yang telah dibuat, trader menunggu pergerakan chart suatu pair untuk menentukan titik open posisi yang tepat, misalnya buy / sell di saat terjadi koreksi.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Ketika open posisi telah dibuat, trader mengamati perkembangan open posisi trading yang telah dibuat. Trader harus selalu siap untuk merubah arah open posisi trading atau melakukan cut loss berdasarkan perkembangan dan pergerakan chart trading yang terjadi.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Seorang trader adalah pejuang kecil. Trader tidak memiliki jumlah dana yang besar untuk bisa melawan kekuatan market forex ataupun melawan institusi besar seperti Bank Central. Apa yang trader bisa lakukan adalah membaca gelagat yang “diberikan” oleh market forex itu sendiri, mengintepretasikannya dengan cepat dan mengimplementasikannya ke dalam posisi trading yang sedang berjalan berdasarkan disiplin money management dan strategi trading yang dipakai.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana"; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><big style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Intisari</big></span></b><br />
Kebijaksanaan yang tertuang dalam literatur tulisan Sun Tzu memberikan kita segala aspek strategi trading yang mencakup sisi psikologis trading dan money management yang trader butuhkan.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Seperti salah satu ungkapan Sun Tzu :</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Kenali musuhmu dan kenali diri sendiri, maka anda dapat memenangkan pertempuran tanpa risiko kalah. Kenali bumi dan langit, maka kemenangan tersebut akan menjadi lengkap.”</i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.828125px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Ungkapan tersebut tidak hanya cocok sebagai prinsip strategi perang tetapi dapat juga diaplikasikan sebagai prinsip <a href="http://www.futuresgalleriablog.com/2011/05/04/strategi-trading-momentum-jangka-pendek/" style="color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">strategi trading</a> kita.</div>

Kesuksesan suatu pertempuran bergantung kepada sejauh mana kita mengerti tingkah laku dan kebiasaan musuh, kekuatan psikologis serta kekuatan sumber daya kita. Semuanya dirangkum menjadi suatu “Art of Trading” yang vital dan menjadi <a href="http://www.futuresgalleriablog.com/2011/10/26/pedoman-simple-yang-harus-diperhatikan-sebelum-berinvestasi/" style="color: #2361a1; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">pedoman trading</a> bagi semua trader untuk meraih profit.</div>

<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Sun Tzu"s Art of War Provides The Solution To Your Trading Blues</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sun Tzu's Art of War provides a key solution to successful battle, which can be extrapolated to Forex trading.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<strong><div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><u>Sun Tzu's Art of War called it: "Know Your Enemy"</u></strong></div>
</strong><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And your enemy in Forex trading is merely the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Forex market itself</b></span> and <b><span style="color: purple;">you- the person itself.</span></b></div>
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To win in the Forex market, you must know the Forex market itself - in other words, you must get to </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">understand the currency-pairs that you are trading on</span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. Spend time to study their price movements.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Know what <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">trading patterns</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">setups occur time</span></b> and again in those currency-pairs. Be familiar with the<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"> risk-reward ratios</span></b> of each specific trade pattern for those currency-pairs you are trading. <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Define</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">apply a specific trading strategy</span></b> for those currency-pairs you trade. Know <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">when to enter</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">exit the market </span></b>and when <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">to stay away</span></b>. The best way to ensure you are doing it correctly is to <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>get another experienced</b></span> and <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">successful trader</span></b> to mentor or to show you the ropes. Budget to <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">learn before you trade</span></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As to the other part of the battle, you need to see the part of you, yourself who is the enemy. Forex trading involves decision making where your risk tolerance is put to the test, where <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>emotions of</b></span> <b><span style="color: #351c75;">greed</span></b> and<span style="color: #351c75;"><b> fear </b></span>will play a daily tug of war within your heart. The solution to win this emotional battle is to <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>trade with discipline</b></span>. <b><span style="color: #351c75;">Adopting a winning strategy</span></b>, <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>a winning plan complete with risk management</b></span> and ensuring you do not deviate from that plan is a necessity for you to win. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I believe that silver could go to<b> $60 per ounce </b>from today’s price of just $30 by the end of <b>2014</b>. That would be double from today’s current prices in just a little over two years! I also believe silver will be the best single investment of this decade. The following article is focused on why I think that you should seriously consider having a significant percentage of your investment portfolio in silver.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many gold investors deride <b><span style="color: #0c343d;">silver as the "poor man's gold</span></b>" because of its <b><span style="color: #0c343d;">low relative price to gold</span></b>. They also don't like the fact that it because it is used primarily as an industrial metal it can be negatively affected by a cyclical downturn in the economy. This is opposite of gold which is viewed almost entirely as a precious metal. Many years ago, the silver market was so oversupplied because there were huge artificial inventories of silver. This was because the US took currency (coins) out of circulation due to its physical silver content. Because of this artificial situation, huge surpluses hung over the market until these excess inventories were depleted. This led to silver prices crashing as low as $2 and then traded around $5 for years. Because silver had so decoupled from the price of gold during this period, it began to be thought of as just another industrial metal and not a precious metal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are still skeptics who think of silver as just another industrial metal. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However after a 600% rise in price from $5 to $30 since 2003, it has begun again to be viewed as a precious metal. I think that silver has only completed about fifty percent of that process. As this transformation continues there will be additional significant moves higher in price. That will attract more investors to silver again until it once again retains its true status as a precious metal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) The amount of silver consumed annually and bought for investment exceeds currently exceeds total annual mining output and has for years. That gap has been filled by sellers willing to sell from existing inventories and as prices rise. As time passes this will naturally push prices significantly higher until this fundamental imbalance reaches a true equilibrium price where supply is closer to demand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) Both industrial and investment demand for silver is growing in excess of the annual increase in mining production growth. The available inventory is low and will get even tighter over time. These two factors will lead to a continued tighter supply-demand situation going forward. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) The lower price of silver at $32 appeals more broadly to small investors relative to the more expensive gold at $1705, especially if gold prices continue to rise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4) Most silver is not found in mining sites in any significant concentrated form. It is usually chemically bound to other metals; much of it is actually the byproduct of mining for lead, copper, etc. In the last few decades this made it less attractive from a profitability standpoint to invest in pure silver mine. Now prices have finally recovered enough to make new projects feasible again. So there is new investment in the sector but it is a lengthy multi-year process to bring on significant new production. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5) The last time silver was found in huge concentrations or veins that dramatically affected the amount available and therefore significantly lowered prices was in the Comstock Lode in Nevada in the late 1800's. The Comstock Lode produced tons of ore that was very pure with concentrations of 25-50% silver. Silver mines today have much lower concentrations, usually always less than two ounces per ton of refined ore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6) Silver is the most conductive metal on earth. Gold is also conductive but is prohibitively expensive due to its much higher price for most industrial uses compared to silver.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7) Silver is an industrial metal with over 10,000 commercial applications. Because it is one of the best electrical and thermal conductors, that makes it ideal for electrical uses such as switches, multi-layer ceramic capacitors, conductive adhesives, and contacts. It is used in some brazing and soldering as well. Silver is also used in solar cells, heated automobile wind shields, DVD's and some mirrors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8) Silver is an essential element in the electronic gadgets that are a growing part of our digital age. It is in every cell phone, smart phone, tablet, computer keyboard, solar cells and every radio frequency if ID device (RFID). This makes it an essential element going forward as the world becomes more addicted to gadgets. The growth and rising living standards of people in the emerging economies will drive long-term growth of new customers that will demand more and more electronic gadgets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9) Silver's industrial demand should increase 60% to 666 million ounces per year by 2016 from 487 million ounces in 2010. Current annual mine production is only around 700 million ounces per year growing a few percent annually.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10) Of a total of fifty billion ounces of silver that have been mined in history, only two ounces (estimate) or 5% remain in above ground inventories available to be bought and sold. This is due to silver being used up in industrial applications in very small quantities, which makes it unprofitable to recycle at today's prices. A lot of silver is used in minute quantities in industrial products which are used up and discarded without being recycled.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">11) This is unlike gold where five billion ounces have been mined and two and half billion ounces (estimate) are still available in all inventory. Since gold is hardly ever discarded because of its very high price, used mainly in jewelry or for investment purposes, the total inventory is so much larger than silver.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">12) The supply demand equilibrium in silver is extremely tight. There is now less than one year of inventory of silver, compared to over eleven years of inventory in the 1970’s.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">13) Exchange Traded Funds (mainly SLV, SGOL, PSLV, and CEF) have opened precious metals investing in silver to millions of investors around the globe. When investor make net new purchases, the ETF purchases physical silver and removes it from the available market, which increases the scarcity of available supply. This is the first time many investors worldwide are not required to actually buy physical silver bullion and coins and store it themselves. Now they have an investment vehicle that offers liquidity and ease of trading to get exposure to precious metals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">14) Silver also has many medicinal applications. Roman soldiers long ago noticed that if water is kept in silver cups, it wouldn’t become stagnant. Today silver in "colloidal" form is used as a broad spectrum antibiotic. It can be used in bandages to treat burn victim's wounds and also in colloidal form actually swallowed to target microorganisms in one's gut. It is also used in water purification systems.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">15) The US Dollar has lost 31% of its purchasing power just since 2000. The dollar has lost a staggering 82% of its value since the US was taken off the gold standard in 1971. Since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, the US dollar has lost 95.6% of its purchasing power. When you compare the historical appreciation and more importantly, the retention of real purchasing power of precious metals versus the dollar in those same time frames, those facts alone should convince you that significant exposure in precious metals is necessary to protect your wealth. The primary and overarching reason you should have a significant percentage of your investment assets in precious metals is simple: to protect the real purchasing power of your accumulated wealth! In this age of government's abusing their privilege of excessively printing currency, on a magnitude and scale not seen for decades, <b><span style="color: #a64d79;">only gold and silver can protect and actually grow your wealth.</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">16) Gold and silver are such unique elements with so many uncommon properties. Therefore the chance of a gold or silver substitute being developed is almost impossible. It hasn't happened in thousands of years and it probably never will. That is what makes them exclusive; they can't be printed, manufactured or copied. They can only be mined, purchased from a willing seller of the world's existing inventory and from recycling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">17) Unlike an account at a bank, a dollar bill or a bond, these are all both an asset and liability to counterparty. This includes every other financial instrument and derivative man has created in history. Precious metals are the only asset class with no counterparty risk if you have physical or very secure possession. They will always retain some value and can’t go to zero like any other investment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">18) The total amount of silver available to trade in the physical silver market is only about $70 billion versus the total gold market which now exceeds $4.3 trillion. As you can see from these numbers, the total market size of the silver market is only 1.6% of the size of the entire gold market. This lack of liquidity and use of extreme leverage in its respective futures market produces wild volatility in price fluctuations of silver.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">19) The total gold market is sixty one times the size of the silver market yet. As interest in silver increases this sets up a situation where prices could soar higher.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">20) Since World War II, the US government has sold over five billion ounces of silver and currently has no reported stores. Now that vast stockpiles are gone, the supply demand equation has changed dramatically.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
