Financial independence for all!

 
March is Women’s History Month, a worldwide observance of the contributions we’ve made in the past and present.

More women than ever trading and taking control of their investments. And philanthropy expert Margaret May notes that women spend $5 trillion per year and control more than 75% of the total wealth in the United States. We also influence and/or make 84% of household financial decisions.

So while I’m all for celebrating our history and remembering where we came from, my priority is to ensure we all have access to information to grow personal wealth.

A few good resources:

·         Option Trading in Your Spare Time: A Guide to Financial Independence for Women by Wendy Kirkland and Virginia McCullough—an essential resource for the woman who believes the daily grind will forever keep her from learning to trade options

·         SFO magazine—a digital publication for stocks, futures, foreign currency and option traders that’s always free. It’s a great way learn and start building confidence, plus it’s edited by women!

·         Carley Garner—one of my favorites, period. Her latest book is Currency Trading in the Forex and Futures Markets.

·         Kira McCaffrey Brecht—another fave, because she’s a versatile financial journalist who’s as smart as she is awesome. Check out her video reports from the floor of the CME, trading reports and work for SFO magazine.

Order Options Trading in Your Spare Time and the other titles mentioned in today’s blog. No need to use a promo code; just take advantage of the better-than-Amazon pricing at TradersPress.com and enjoy free S&H* when you spend $25 or more.

At Least Peek through Your Fingers

I know. I know! How much bad news can you possibly read?

Sure, it’s tough not to wince when someone says anything that sounds remotely like “market.” But we have to power through—stiff upper lip and all that.

My mantra the past few weeks has been, “You can’t run from your problems.” I mean, of course I can, but they chase me. And they’re fast.

So I’m not running. I stopped covering my eyes with my hands. I’m diving in!

I started with this month’s SFO (Stocks, Futures, Options) Magazine, which includes several great articles that can firm up your resolve:

·        Risky Business? Gauge FX Trades Using Risk Management by Brian Dolan

·        Hot Currencies to Watch by Paul J. Kavanaugh, CTA

·        Trading with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) by Kenneth Reid, Ph.D.

·        And more!

At SFOmag.com, check out Gold’s a Winner Out of Bleak Jobs Data—But Don’t Chase; It’s Still a Rangeby Kira Brecht andStock Watch: Has the Market Folded? Banks are My ‘Tell’ by Joe Donohue (LOVE this one!). You also might consider attending Greg Michalowski’s free webinar, Forex: It’s Not as Foreign as You Think.

Do You Suffer—or Benefit—from ‘Crisis Mentality’?

There’s no better fuel for a crisis than more crisis.

According to Bloomberg, James W. Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management, says “crisis mentality” is so widespread that swings in U.S. stocks can be attributed mainly to the level of investor concern.

Crisis of mentality’s byproduct is volatility. According to CNBC, major averages flounder, affected by heavy market volatility due to fears of another global recession.

Some are using the volatility to their advantage, including Louis Basenese, who sees bullish signs in the recent rout.

Day Trading & Swing Trading the Currency Market: Technical and Fundamental Strategies to Profit from Market Moves (Second Edition) by Kathy Lien is a great resource for those who want to profit from volatility. The book retails for $70, but you can get it today for $42 and free U.S. S&H* if you click here.

In addition, you can save 10% and receive free U.S. S&H* with promo code KGBLOG911. This includesall resources that offer strategies for taking advantage of market volatility, such as Paul Forchione’s ACE Program series, Trading Options in Turbulent Markets and The Secret Keys to Smart Investing. For a full list, click here.
