Car Industry is Still on a Downfall
Written by MichaelZ on June 30, 2009 – 3:06 pm -Just recently statistics have been released that shows new cars sales have fallen to their lowest April level for the last 18 years, which has also ultimately made it the eleventh month in a row of decline.
But car dealers are staying calms as they turn their wishes onto the new scrappage incentive scheme getting the sector out of the current slum. This should without a doubt help the industry.
Authorities have indicated that the scheme is intended to help remove pollution, but I personally believe that they are doing this to revive the car industry.
A vast amount of people have actually turned to purchasing used cars because they are alot more cost effective, but is this always the solution? From what I have seen over the last few months when people buy a used car and then end up paying a fortune to get it repaired. The great aspect about buying a new car is that you are guaranteed it will not break down on you for atleast two years.
Although the car sector has hit an all time low I do expect things to pick up by the end of the year. Let's hope the scrappage scheme is here to stay.

Quick student loans
Written by MichaelZ on June 30, 2009 – 3:06 pm -A student is someone who is not supposes to have any income. Staying away from their parents it could be difficult to survive without a proper way of income unless your parents are willing to pay. In an unexpected situation where your parents won’t be able to pay you there wouldn’t be any option other than to skip your next examination and start earning money. A student loan will come in handy in a situation like this.
Loaners tend to give away many advantages for student which they won’t be doing so in a normal circumstance. The best advantage the student could have with these student loans is that they can repay the loan after they finish their education. Saving a lot of time student the process is made easier by the use of electronic applying methods. These quick student loans are very desirable for students since they can invest on their courses and other miscellaneous.
More the money they buy more they will have to pay as the interest at the maturity of the loan. This is sometimes harsh on students especially when maturity falls not very long after they end their courses.
Usually the time of expiry for a quick loan would be around a month or two for a small amount of money. After it expires the student is suppose to repay the loan with the interest. Installments in paying back the money is rarely found making it difficult for the student. At the given date the student should pay the entire amount of money back. This could be a little too heavier burden for the students who do not have a proper way of income. One refreshing aspect is that these quick loans will have only a little amount of interest.
It is essential though for a student to invest the money they got properly on the purpose they got it for. Instead of investing money on the purpose it was lend for which is for the education, students could get distracted on their vision and spend the money on any unnecessary activities. If this happens they will have to find a way of earning money, making it very difficult to continue their studies further.
Many quick loan providers’ information could be found on the internet for you to compare them and find the most beneficial option. Quick student loan provider can give you the helping hand you need in financial aspects to fulfill your educational targets

Trading Shenanigans
Written by MichaelZ on June 29, 2009 – 9:06 am -An interesting thing has happened in the last 6-8 weeks. There are almost no sellers. Literally.The market has made a massive directional push up and really just holds up and does not correct now. It seems almost funny how bad it is to try to short for more than maybe 20 minutes at a time. Obviously you cannot fight the market - its doing what it wants how it wants.This action sure makes trading hard, the guys that are really getting the most out of it are the buy and hold.
One thing I know is that no matter what these guys do that are chasing and then bidding the market so it does not sell - it will sell eventually. The only way you actualy make money, whether day trading or longer term investing, is to lock in profits.Until then, its not reality.At some point they will turn the tide from chasing in, to wanting out to lock in profits (or avoid losses).
A favorite pattern lately has been to break down below a support (or even key support) and then out of nowhere a massive burst of buying comes in to rescue the market.This sort of thing happens so often now, its completely expected.Most of the time this results in a new low being made, followed shortly by new daily highs as the buyers chase like crazy.
Even when the economy was plowing along at full steam, we would have 10-15% corrections all the time. And this was when everything was just perfect (or everyone thought so).Because of this I am not sure what is actually going on. Several theories are in play that I think about:
- Shorts are completely or mostly out of the market. The SEC messing with the short rules before caused a panic, and now there are many proposals again in regard to uptick rule and shorting. Rather than get caught, they are staying away from day trading and longer term positioning.
- Manipulation factor on high. There is a group of large banks or funds that are pushing the market higher at the Fed's and Treasuries request to try to turn the economy out of the recession by making it appear as if the stock market has it figured out.The way the market always rescues itself from the brink of disaster, the ramps into the close every friday, and other odd trading action gives this one some credibility. Would be easy for the government to just give these guys money to push the market up.
- Traders are mostly gone, and computer algorithm trading takes over. This one can happen as well - computers have taken over more of the futures trading which drives the market.Since no one tries to fight this trend, with all of them doing the same thing it just feeds on itself.I like this theory too because the actual price variance is so unusually low on these large pushes higher.I have seen the DJIA futures push up almost 100pts in 20 minutes with hardly a retrace at all, even at the high. Sure this happens - but not this often as it does now.
Whether any of these are true, or a combination, I have no idea and we may never. All I know is the trading action is very odd and I expect at least half if not more of this gain to be gone when this is done.Note that I am not predicting a top in the market, I am simply stating that what goes up almost always goes down - and the down is usually painfull. We could hit 9k, 10k etc. I really dont think 10k is possible, with GM dust, C is dust and a few others they just dont have the fuel for the DJIA to actually push up that high in the short term.
Maybe everyone just needs to learn to trade again - this is the new market to stay!
