Learning by experience can be costly, especially in the financial markets. Fortunately, there are shortcuts. "I've changed from losing money to consistently making a profit," says Paul, a trader from Illinois. "I've learned techniques that really have made a big difference in my trading." He credits the streaming educational videos and audios for his success. Its is a pioneer in the web-based delivery of financial information since 1995.

Traders of all levels will appreciate the online digital library of video and audio seminars, the largest and most comprehensive collection of trader and investor seminars available anywhere today. There are currently 547 seminars with more being added all the time. They present time-tested theories, techniques, and strategies from over 150 master traders like the one below. The site is INO TV and gives traders an easy and convenient way to improve their skills, confidence, and high returns. 

Many of the seminars come with downloadable workbooks. INO TV's digital library of trading seminars is the most extensive collection available online, and these seminars are not available anywhere else. Members can watch and listen to as many seminars as they want, as often as they want, for one very low amount.

And should you want to add our most used tool to your arsenal then you'll useMarketClub. You will also then have access to the founder Adam Hewison who will continually teach you how to use the tools and apply them to stocks, forex, gold, whatever has a price chart.

You'll often hear him say this about INO TV:
"Even though I caught some lucky breaks early in my financial career and went on to become a successful forex trader, I still look back with 20/20 hindsight and realize that I could have been more successful, sooner, if I had been a more educated trader. That's why I'm so excited about what we have to offer at INO TV: proven trading techniques - practical tools for consistent success - step by step trading methods that will empower you to build wealth and create the life you want. And all straight from the lips of the masters themselves."

Adam is the co-creator of this seminar archive. He's also a terrific fella and family man who has a voice you'll enjoy listening to in his frequent educational videos like this onethat you'll see here at MarketEDU from time to time or on MarketClub. 

We don't appreciate bull-shit and there is a lot of it out there and in emails. We know if you are even a little bit like us, you want straight forward information that works. Check out this straight forward video and decide if it might be for you with no risk attached.

Of course you should decide for yourself. Its still an expense though; one that you can write off your taxes. Its still an expense but what is the comparison to what you could loose without knowledge like you'll find here?

There are tools you'll pay for and never use. Then there are those that you can't do without. Until you become an expert yourself, INO TV will be your mentor, available any time you are. MarketClub will be your daily tool to help you trade the market every day. Then of course there is all the rest; some you'll treasure, and lots you'll trash. Don't just buy everything or nothing. Make decisions that will help you acheive the dreams that trading the markets can bring. Don't make all the usual mistakes and turn it into the nightmare that won't end.

Have any other great tools that you yourself use regularly?  Please share them in the comments below.

I am constantly surprised how many people do not set up a business when they have income from whatever it is that they do for fun or for profit. Some of the things that I hear are:

• I've thought about it but its too hard
• Too much paper work
• I'll get audited
• I don't want the government sneaking around in my bidnez

And on and on and on. Well it is not hard, there isn't too much paperwork, you'll only get audited if you try to cheat the system, as a business the government allows you to write legitimate expenses off your taxes!

My biggest reason is the tax write off. Education is expensive, subscriptions to help me do my job better, hardware, software, anything which goes towards helping you make money is tax deductible. 

I found an old video by Trader Brian which is short and tells you the benefits of trading as a business in an easy to listen to video.
 

 Other just as important benefits are:

• The hours are your own
• you don't have to answer to anyone
• The work isn't physical
• There is a lure to the excitement of wheeling and dealing, trading hot markets and making profits.

To those who have never had a business before but are now trading... is it possible to trade the markets as a business? If you have some money to get into it you can possibly make some money but there is no guarantee to making a decent amount of money if you can make any money at all. The best ideas for businesses are ones that will bring you a stream of income for your work and knowledge. A smart way to get into trading the markets for profits is to start very small. Start with safer investments and see if you can first make a little money. Use the profits if you have them to make more trades but limit any loss. Meanwhile continue to learn, EDUCATE YOURSELF about the market you want to trade.

Things that you will need to make money trading the markets are a computer and some tracking software of the market prices you are interested in. There is another thing you will need, money. And the money you put in can be lost if your actions don't follow the proper education.

Another thing you will need is experience. You can learn to trade by trial and error rather than through education first but that can be very costly and you may very well lose a significant amount of your money before you give up on the effort.

Books are written on the subject that can help you. One that is good is from William O'Neal of the Investor's Business Daily called 'How to make money in stocks'. The book helps you to gain knowledge of what to look for to profit but it's not a guarantee that you will make money even if you learn everything taught in the book. Many books have been written on how to make money in the market or commodities. No matter how much you know it's good to learn more from others so it's good to read all you can.

Even better still, find a mentor, someone who has been in the business for some time and continues in the business. Finding a mentor is not easy because they are giving of their valuable time to teach you their experience. If you are unable to find someone to give you plenty of face time, try to find a comprehensive course package that has online support of a community of traders as well as the mentors themselves. This can be almost as hard as finding a face to face mentor simply because they sell based upon their marketing hype or the fancy packaging. With these you have to have a sense of truth in their marketing and sense that they are truly going to teach you their experience to help bring you success if you learn the full course. Be always weary of online courses and packages...buyer beware. Some are designed to not teach you everything but little bits at a time at great expense to you.

This is a business that you may end up making money with but it's only a possibility and not something that many are successful with primarily because they don't take the time to educate themselves properly. Also because many people only look for the easy way, the get rich quick way, of which there isn't. Only a small percent of those that are educated well make significant amounts of money. The market is always trying to work against the small trader. They count on manipulation especially in broadcast media and specially written newsletters to get you to buy this or that stock. So you'll have to remain an alert and discerning business owner. 

A seasoned trader says that he makes bad calls 70% of the time and great calls 30% of the time. Yet since he is careful to limit his losses and let his profits run, that 30% makes his family a nice income to live on.

Trading IS a business and so thinking and acting as a business entity is necessary lest you slip into a dream state. You'll be dreaming yourself into making money when in reality you aren't doing what you should be doing and are loosing money. In that case keep your job or go into another business to make a living. Don't expect to make a business out of trading if you are not determined to take it seriously every working day.

A shout out to all our wonderful mates in the CRISS Community!

Hello everyone...
I've just become part of the CRISS Community after starting the CRISS educational program. Between this site, the DVDs and companion guide, I think this is by far...hands down, the very best thing going for people like myself who've just come from years in the corporate world and now full time or want to be full time in the markets.

I want to share something that I found extremely useful last night after watching the free webinar. Rather than try to take notes and or keep coming back and forth to find one reference to a web site and another and another, I decided to use my KeePass Database to keep all the TOOL-Web Sites as I call them in a nice easy to use and orderly program on my computer.

For instance, I have some sixty web sites with tools, charts, etc. along with their explanations where given from the forums here. It took me several hours last night to put this together but now that I have it, it will become invaluable as I work my way through the CRISS program and then later on a day to day working basis.

I would like to even extend my gratitude for those of you who are very helpful on here and to Chris Rowe by giving you this database and saving you those hours of input and reading that I did in order to come up with what I now have here.

First and easiest is to go and download your free KeePass Manager software at: http://keepass.info/

Second, send me an email requesting the database, and I'll reply and attach it, sending it back to you.

Third, run the KeePass Manager and then use the Open icon (Folder) and navigate to where you have downloaded the database you got from me. I recommend keeping it on your desktop to start. Later as long as it is your only database, just starting the program will automatically open this database.

As a bonus, I found that since the program is so small and the database is too, I can be anywhere and utilize it from any computer. All I do is email myself (yourself) the database file. When at another computer that you need the access to a web site for a chart, tool, or whatever it is, just download the KeePass Manager, run the setup, open your email and place the database attached to that computer, open it with KeePass. Voila!!

Just don't forget to delete the database or better yet, Password Protect the database! And when someone cant get into it they'll just delete it altogether! KeePass Manager can have a start up password given to it in order to keep it from prying eyes. Additionally, you can keep all your login and passwords for member web sites there too which is the original intent of the program. One place to keep all your info without having to look it up somewhere and type it in.

Send a private message in my blog: http://www.marketedu.com/profile.cfm?username=Future1investor

You'll love this new (click link above) and up & coming soc-fin-edu-blog-news site!

Your reply will include the database in an attachment, and a quick how to use guide that I wrote into the email!

You can go hog wild and use any number of "Systems" that are out there for use in the market today. These can not only be expensive, but they can be difficult to understand and learn for many. Interesting then that they would then offer to have you pay for a seminar to teach you their system.
 

We have learned quickly that these are not the way for most investors. More than likely, you'll dump the system and have been left with an investment that went south like today's markets. Understandably however, if you don't get a system or if it takes too much time to use and you are not yet fully working for yourself... meaning that you still hold a corporate job in order to make your living. You probably do not have the time needed for many of these exotic systems.
 
That is where we have found an effective but simple tool for normal people like us. Click on this link to see how the tool is used in relation to a real time issue, Freddie Mac (FRE) and Frannie May (FNM).

Not only is the tool very straight forward, it takes no time to learn and the founder continually shows you how this and its associated tools are used. It could not be any simpler and we can only wish that we would have found this tool early on in our investing/trading business. But without all the hype you see spammed throughout your email, we wish to share with you something that can make you feel at ease with the market. The tool we use is simple, takes away the emotional deficit of our trades, it gives us peace of mind because it gives us that simplicity and gives us time back to focus on other parts of the business and time back for our family and friends.

We are not advertising on behalf of this tool. What we are doing is sharing our views, news, ideas, and tools that we use in the market. If something comes across our desks that we find can affect your trades or investments, we'll report on it here in our blogs. If we find something that can save you time and money and is effective for us, then perhaps it will be for you as well, so we share it here for you too! We hope that you too will share your knowledge, thoughts, ideas, and findings. That is the whole purpose of social networking from a productive web site sense. It is fine to have fun on a web site if you think sites like (Facebook) are fun, but is it not better to utilize your time online with a site that can effectively educate, and share the honest ideas and findings of a large number of people and not just a few? I believe that is what this site: MarketEDU is all about and that is why Future1investor is here. To share with you and receive productive benefits in return.

Thank you in advance for all the things you may come to share with us and everyone here at MarketEDU.

I have been letting my views and opinions out onto the vast WorldWideWeb now since before most of you readers were even born! I organized the largest number of System Operators (Sysops) ever to meet in one place. Now that says quite a lot as my learned scholarly and entrepreneurial business friends would say.

It would be nice to know that some of my rants and raves such as the one which took out every point of Microsoft's first online published ROI white paper was read and understood. That an intelligent person or team of individuals would find great value in my quality assurance background and position as a consumer advocate.

Well years later, it seems that Microsoft is now attempting to be a little more consumer caring. And it looks like possibly my rant on the uselessness of FaceBook but promotion of social networking sites is being heard.
There are many who are against the internet and use of the web as a way to meet others and collaborate without being able to physically touch or sit in the same office. Some of those concerns are quite valid BUT there are too many positives as well as practical needs for it not to be pursued and developed. No matter how much we wish to prevent Pervs, stalkers, and other negative people in our physical and online life we will never be rid of them no matter what is done. In fact trying to do so online may prevent great productivities from being achieved.

Today we have help (sometimes questionable) from telecenters in India, we have distant learning of which I participated in one of the few way back in the '80s. Do you remember the early online virtual worlds?

I was also part of those early renditions which were exciting but clunky attempts to bring people together online. Well today, Sony and a couple handfuls of other companies have gotten behind the dream to develop this further. And we will eventually see truly productive applications linking people together in both a purely social as well as purely business, educational, and entertaining ways.

One of my Canadian friends turned me onto BlogTV. This is a social networking site that has been around awhile and allows anyone to use their web cam to host a show and even have a co-host on with you from anywhere else in the world! Granted some of the blogTV hosts are quite lame but it gives them an outlet for social interaction which can be for pure fun or for other things. I plan on using blogTV as a way for my online neighbors and friends to chime in on my interest for trading/investing and all things technology. Of course there are other ways but this is simple and fun!

You can have audio, draw on the screen, kick people out for inappropriate behavior and build a network of followers. Unlike Facebook you don't have a zillion widgets wanting your attention. It is purely an audio/visual world where the host creates whatever kind of show he/she chooses.

This this month we were delighted to stumble upon a brand new site that gets to the point of what we want in a social networking application. It uses an educational bent along with the social networking attraction. The site is called MarketEDU. The best way to describe it is to quote directly: "MARKETEDU.COM is the first financial education website to combine Interactive Rich Media Technologies and World Class Finance Expertise together in one expansive online community. 30 Years of financial experience has been combined with cutting edge award winning, interactive design to deliver the most accessible user friendly financial web community on the globe."

If you have any interest in investing or trading, then I encourage you to become a registered member. You'll find a site that is rich in multimedia and friendly, hence the social networking side of it.


Since technology is constantly improving and people wish to further push the limits of possibility; social networking will become a key feature in more and more applications to come. I for one look forward to the next pipe dream becoming reality. Perhaps you'll play an integral part and have your fifteen minutes of fame!

There must be a lot of you folks out there that either just found us here or are on the procrastination track. In any case, there has been an overwhelming response with regrets that people missed the deadline for the FREE MarketClub access.

Get FULL UNRESTRICTED ACCESS to MarketClub and see why we take the time to let you in on our our secret weapon!

There are very few things out here on the internet that I am genuinely excited about. My Father taught me about the importance of value for your money or in other words "bang for the buck". With that in mind, there is quite a lot to disappoint you. You'll waste hundreds and likely thousands of dollars because giving this trading system, that trading  system, an online seminar here, a hotel seminar there, books, lots of books, CDs, DVDs, a try.. is like going to a casino.

You get to put down your money for a chance to win some knowledge. A chance to beat the house, or a chance to do better than the average guy/gal. A chance, just a chance and no guarantees either. Its all just a crap shoot!

Then every once in a blue moon, you might come across a site that delivers all those things, and has value to boot! One such a site is INO TV. I wrote about it a couple days ago here when I talked about Linda Raschke. Hers was one of the totally free video seminars that you can watch on the site even before plunking down even a dollar.

Then if like me you decide to plunk down some cash, you'll find that it is a most reasonable offer. And what do you get? YOU GET A LOT !!!!

For one, you'll find that this is universal training. It isn't tied to just our market here in the good ole U.S. of A. You'll find that it works for people in the U.K., Canada, Germany, China, Australia, simply everywhere.

And if you've ever taken an online course at a college, you know how expensive that can be. And you know that you are limited on time and the course will soon end. So you better have your entire schedule clear so that you can concentrate on your studies and nothing but. Otherwise the money will be gone before you know it and so will the training. INO TV gives you an Ivy League education and you can train at your own pace w/o the fear that it will be gone if you happen to get tied up with real life for a few weeks.

Huge Library!
Thats right, you aren't limited to a small selection of seminars. One price gives you access to this whole huge library of trading seminars. When you were in college, did you ever have a teacher that you just didn't get? That no matter how hard you tried you just weren't going to benefit from attending his/her class? Well my friends, that can happen at a seminar too! But with INO TV, if you find that you just don't "get" a particular trainer, guess what? You can search for another trainer on the same topic! They have a functioning search engine that helps you find exactly what you want. And if you aren't the type to use online search tools, the seminars are laid out in a very logical index as well. So you'll be sure to find the education that you want and need!

Real Life Experience
Unlike some college professors who just learn how to teach and the subject they are teaching in college before they themselves start regurgitating it back onto you; the trainers at INO TV are professionals with real life experience. They are some of the most well known traders in the world and they're available to teach you when you are part of INO TV. There are literally experts on every topic!

Eleven Channels
If you are a beginner, this is the best channel to start with. As you wish to learn more specific topics then move onto such channels as Charts & Analysis, Day Trading, Futures/Commodities, Options Trading, and more.

Great Way To Learn About Trading Systems!
Rather than waste lots of money trying this system or that system, you can find out all about trading systems at INO TV. It will help you choose the system that is right for you and eliminate the random chance. Discard all those trading systems spam emails. Go here first, find out about them on INO TV and decide which one is right for you. You could be saving yourself a huge chunk of change in this area alone! Again, that is what my Father calls value.

Help From Real People
This is the first of five promises you get as an INO TV subscriber. It isn't just a web site that is put up there for you to take down information and then have no support system should you need it. It is run and maintained by real people who are accessible to you either by email (the very most other sites ever offer you) or by phone from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST Monday thru Friday.

He Rested On the 7th Day
As you can tell, when I believe in something, I can be pretty passionate about it in my writing. Zig Ziglar once taught me that you can not truly convince others how good a product/service is unless you yourself use it on a daily basis. I use MarketClub and INO TV six days a week (Mon-Fri, Sun). Unlike God who rested on the 7th day, I do my R&R on Saturdays. Sunday, I'm preparing for the market on Monday.

Have you ever known you can trust someone just by the way they talk? There are those who you know are not selling you something but showing you common sense. Watch this short video and you decide. You'll meet Adam Hewison one of the co-founders of INO TV. Listen closely to his voice and you'll know and hear exactly what I mean.

Take it from me, one of the normal folks out there. If you tend to have a few indulgences in life, you'll not find a more invaluable indulgence than this one!
