Calls and Puts

 Buying a call option gives you the right but not the obligation to buy a stock at a set price on or before the set date. “ I can call away stock”.

Selling a call you are obligated to sell a stock at a set price on or before the set date. “My stock can get called away”.

Buying a put gives you the right, but not the obligation to sell a stock at a set price on or before the set date. “ I can put the stock to the market”.

Selling a put you are obligated to buy a stock at a set price on or before the set date. “I can be put the stock”.

Basic Option Terms

An option gives the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy (call) or sell (put) the stock that option is tied to. Furthermore the option is for a specific price (strike) and for a specific period of time (expiration).

It is a instrument that you can use to reserve the right to buy or sell the stock at the price you want if the stock moves in the direction that you thought it would in the time frame of the contract.

Option buying strategies are directional:

Buying calls = Bullish

Buying puts = Bearish

Selling calls = Bearish

Selling puts = Bullish

Option Contracts

Stocks are traded in shares but options are traded in contracts. Each contract controls 100 shares of a stock. When you purchase an option you have control of 100 shares of the stock at a certain price and for a given time.

This may sound like a completely foreign concept to you at first, but stop and think about what the word option really means. If you have options you have choices – plain and simple. You can buy an option (call) or sell an option (put) at the strike price, but you do not have to, you have the choice.

Why do most traders get excited about options?

Leverage! Let’s say that you have been limiting the stocks that you can trade based upon price. Say your limit has been $45 because your astute risk management plan has such a cap. If this is the case that’s great, you’ve got a nice system in place for trading stocks and if it has worked then stick with it. However, as an options specialist, you are truly unlimited in that you can now afford any stock. A few exceptions are not all stocks have options and some stocks that do have options are thinly traded and you wouldn’t want to be trading them anyway.

Premium

An options premium is the amount you have to pay to buy it. Just as with stocks if you place a market order then you will always buy at the ask price and sell at the bid price. Remember though that one options contract controls 100 shares of the underlying stock. So you have to multiply the ask price by 100 for the total dollar cost of the trade.

In The Money

An option becomes in the money when the price of the stock moves past the strike price of the option. The further the price of a stock moves above a given strike price the deeper in the money the call option with that strike price will become. By the same token the further the price of a stock moves below a given strike price the deeper in the money the put option with that strike price will be.

Calls make money when the price goes up.

Puts make money when the price goes down.

There is an unbelievable amount of Unclaimed Funds in the U.S. that the majority of people have no idea they have owing. The odds are 5 out 10 people have money owing to them. As stated on the “National Unclaimed Property Network” website there is estimated to be 32 Billion Dollars in Unclaimed Money held by Federal and State Governments. To put this in perspective that works out to be $104 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. today. It’s amazing the different types of funds out there that people have left behind.

Where do they come from?

 Insurance Settlements

Utility

Abandon Safety Deposit Boxes

Forgotten Stocks

Checking Accounts

Class Action Law-Suits

Inheritance (from the long lost Uncle you never knew about)

These funds are real and all exist, what happens is after a period of time these funds have to be handed over to the State Treasurer.

To find your own undiscovered treasures and search for your families and friends as well, there is a website where you can search for these funds in every State.

FREE StateUnclaimed Money Search

Beware of websites out there that want you to pay money to gather the information of any unclaimed funds owing, you can do this all yourself from this website for free.

Make sure when you are searching for unclaimed funds you search any State you previously lived in and also if you were in the military or went to a college in another State. These unclaimed funds don’t go away. Remember to if you are searching for any family and friends and there are females that are married search there maiden names as well.

When you have the above website up, on the left hand side of the page there will be a list of all the States. Click on the State you wish to search and that State’s Unclaimed Property website will open up in another window. Just enter your details, usually just your name and the city you lived in. And away you go.

If you find a claim, on each website they will have claim filing instructions, there usually is instructions forms for:

Property Owners

A Deceased Owner

A Business

A Government Agencies

To claim a unclaimed fund you will usually need to have some sort of photo I.D., Social Security Number etc. They will have the details on the forms of what is needed.

Some States will tell you how much money is owing and where the funds came from, but there are some states that won’t, they will just state you have some sort of unclaimed fund owing.

I would be shocked if you searched for yourself, all your family and friends and didn’t find any money.

There’s more. You can make a living by collecting these exact types of unclaimed funds on behalf of the claimants and take a percentage. And it’s all legal.

You can simply use these State websites and search for peoples names and try and find claims that have big enough claims to make worth while for you to go ahead and claim (recommended to look for claims $5000 and above). But an even better source is to look up Corporations, you will be amazed at the amounts and sizes of unclaimed funds that are owing to these companies.

Below is a snapshot of a claim I found on the Californian Unclaimed-Property website. Now imagine if you could be able to get 10%-20% of this unclaimed money:

You can also buy the unclaimed list directly from the States and you could also get them from newspapers. Each State publishes (usually in the bigger newspapers) a list of all unclaimed funds once year. Now you can just work these claims from each states Unclaimed Property websites and still make a good living. But this 32 Billion Dollars of unclaimed funds doesn’t include another source of unclaimed funds, that is probably worth if not more another 4 or 5 Billion Dollars. The majority of people don’t even know these funds even exist and the States and Counties around the U.S. don’t want you to know about the funds either because if these funds are not claimed after a period of time they get to keep the funds.

It’s Goodbye To Google

by Harvey Segal

You read that right

I’ve told Google to push off.

Stop spidering me.

I no longer want my online business to depend on its ever

changing whims as to what makes a good or bad ranking.

I don’t want to spend time collecting thousands of

backward links then find that they are probably worthless

because the anchor text does not contain a suitable

keyword, or the site does not have sufficient page rank,

or whatever the latest algorithm is.

I don’t want to buy expensive cloaking tools and run the

risk of penalization.

I don’t want to be bothered about whether a domain has a

static or dynamic IP address or have to use different

hosts to make a network of minisites.

What’s that you say ?

You don’t need fancy tricks – just provide good relevant

content.

My answer ?

Nonsense.

I have a huge content site devoted solely to ClickBank,

the only one of its kind.

If you wanted to find the most relevant content for a

search on the keyword ‘ClickBank’ don’t you think that

would be at the top ?

Well Google used to agree with you.

It was ranked number 2, with only ClickBank.com

itself at number one.

Today it is ranked … wait for it … number 426.

It is beaten out of sight by sites which have nothing to

do with ClickBank but happen to mention that

keyword once.

I asked a search engine expert about this and he

suggested that it was due to keyword density, in

other words too many mentions of the word ClickBank.

Well that has to be the case – the site is after all a

‘Complete Guide to ClickBank’

His advice – try replacing the word ClickBank

occasionally e.g. use ‘CB’.

No way.

That was the last straw and became the inspiration for me

to develop a revolutionary approach to getting traffic.

It led to me being called ‘The Guru who said goodbye to

Google’ in the marketing forums.

And this new approach ?

It uses some of the fundamental pillars of Internet

marketing that you already know – techniques

which will never become obsolete.

But they are combined together in a new way and with a

viral twist that you won’t have seen before.

It includes giving out free information in a certain way

and I show you how exactly in my book, The Ultimate

SuperTip.

And just to illustrate the principle:  the book is free

and you can reproduce this article and change the URL to

point to your own rebranded version.
