In any form of financial trading there are two terms which you will first need to fully understand before proceeding to the next stage.

The fundamentals of any trading system are the same whether it be stocks and shares, bonds, forex, spread betting or of course the betting exchanges.

Liquidity – Cash Volatility – News
Lets start with liquidity or “cash”.

Cash is what physically creates/ moves markets. Cash is what physically drives prices up or down, (bullish or bearish). Cash determines how far a trend goes and when it will end.

The more cash coming into a system (buying positions) the longer a trend will last, so making it easier to trade successfully (in theory).

Markets of all types are self perpetuating, as we have seen over the last few years in the UK, bubbles are created, just like for example, in the UK residential housing market.

While buyers will meet sellers with available cash, prices go up and up and up, all other factors are irrelevant. Anyone could see that the housing market was overbought except the mug punters who believed the dross churned out in the form of hour after hour of prime time property porn TV.

Punters were falling over themselves to buy rabbit hutches in city centres that were genuinely worth about a fifth of the price they were actually paying.

The result was inevitable. Crunch!! Credit dries up, Cash dries up, the bubble bursts, sellers will not match buyers and not only do prices fall, but the volume of transactions collapses as well.

So here we are with factor 2.

Volatility. What are the factors that create the initial switch event?

Well they are quite basic – NEWS.

The news can come from anywhere, any angle, any source, there are hosts of sources of news that affect markets.

The economics of accounts and balance sheets, the movements of fiscal indices such as interest and inflation. Movements of exchange rates between currencies.

Oil prices, food prices, availability of credit and cash are recent movers of markets.

Even the climate and global terrorism play their part in disturbing regional markets.

For the housing market in the UK, the warning signs began early in 2007 with information that sub prime lenders in the USA were dangerously over exposed.

Even then, property prices in the UK continued their upward run for another 6 months such is the power of media propaganda and the nature of human greed and entrenchment.

Basically if you are playing the stock market, the property market or any other market and are trying to keep tabs on the number of things that might affect your trades, you have to attempt to follow all these sources of news 24 hours a day, piecing them together, attempting to predict their effect on the market along the way.

And, to be frank this is nothing short of gambling. Its also extremely stressful.

Part of the problem with stock market day trading is the competition.

Huge corporations, pension funds, investment banks and Wall Street itself are working on huge commissions to profit from these markets.

Their technology is second to none, high tech automated robots compete for easy money.

Insider trading is rife and unless you are “in the know” you will always be fighting to beat these markets as an independent.

To make matters worse the incoming news can occur night and day, and you can awake to an important piece of news that sent your stock into freefall at opening.

In part 2 of this article we examine how and why Betfair has become the platform of choice for traders and other punters, and the software, systems and strategies that are making them consistent profits.

Ontario’s new law is that if a vehicle is caught racing 50km/h passed the limit, they are automatically classified as a street racer. They are also automatically fined a minimum of $2000.00 dollars that can run anywhere up to $10,000.00. An automatic seven day suspension is given, and if you are caught for a second time its an automatic 10 year suspension is issued. Is that a good enough deterrent? Apparently not. This is because most who are speeding at that excess are not street racing.

The street racer my be a 40 year old woman, for example, that is late for work. Is that possible? Now think about it, should she be classified as a street racer? Should she be “automatically” accused of that? What if someone was driving down a hill, “automatically” their car will increase speed by 30 km/h. If they were already doing 10-15 over, they have already exceeded the limit. But yes, I really understand exactly why we should call them street racers.

Speeding in general should have been the focus, not street racing. Not that street racing is really the main harm for anything. For example, out of all accidents on the road that have caused death, only .12 percent were caused by street racing. All others were due to drunk driving, driving while fatigued, or any other form of driving mishaps.

So, once again, they MAY NOT BE STREET RACING, how can we be sure? Funny though, how Canadian Government has earned over $2 million dollars, thanks to all the “street racers” that were late for work.

To re-emphasize my point, are we teaching are teenagers and young drivers to falsely accuse others? Yes, these drivers should be deterred. It should end, but not in the way of falsely accusing a huge number of people. If that’s the generation we want to raise, the morals we want to teach, then good job ONTARIO, we are on top of the line.

A car should be a very comfortable place and the distance covered when in the car should be entertaining to at least keep the driver awake and the passengers entertained. To make any journey in your car exciting and entertaining, the addition of audio accessories to the car does the trick.

An iPod system is a great solution when it comes to music and it is a great gift for the driver and the passengers. It adds spice to the docking station as it is engineered to produce high quality sound. In addition to that, an iPod is easy to use, giving the user an easy time when operating it. An excellent choice would be one which can play music and display photos on the vehicle monitor. A remote control is the best gadget to use in operating an iPod as it makes the operation of the accessory much easier. It is also important to add an FM tuner for the iPod for quality music.

Another great accessory for a car is an iPod nano. It serves as a great endowment for a car user and has better features compared with the conventional iPod. This is due to the fact that the iPod nano has the ability to save music which one can hear while in a car, allowing the user to listen to his or her preferred music. Apart from that, it can also store pod casts, photographs, audio books and amazingly, even games. What better way to enjoy your journey experience other than that? This is a good gift to any one on board considering its large storage capacity which allows one to save ample entertainment for the journey.

HD radio is one to consider when one is a fan of sports news, live talk shows and even music. This device provides channel reception that is free from static. In addition, the HD radio delivers high quality listening to the audience, a quality that lacks in most conventional radios. However, for better reception, it is advisable to get a receiver for it.

When one needs to search through more than 100 radio stations while on a a journey, the XM satellite tuner for the radio is a great option. Digital devices are the in thing nowadays and this device offers nothing less than that.

The answer to a simple of way of adding extra components to a car system is the media controllers for the audio system. Instead of expanding the car audio system through modification of the whole system, this device is the way to go as it allows for expansion including the addition of CD changers, cell phone accessories and even satellite radios without any modifications or adjusting the dashboard. It is advisable to add a meter to level the sound as it aids in setting sound accurately for each speaker.

A surge protector is the most important as it prevents damage to the accessories due to voltage fluctuations. The overall advantage of most car accessories is their ability to function in different environments, including in houses.
