“how Do I Buy a Great Mailing List?”
Great Mailing Lists
1. Before you go about finding that great mailing list for your marketing campaign, you need to define your audience. Precisely who is your market? The more precisely you can define your perfect target audience, the better youâll be able to segment your mailing, and the better your response will be.
2. It is an accepted acxiom in direct marketing that the closer to a consumersâ last purchase you can reach them, the more apt they are to be responsive to your offer. Therefore, try to find a list that is updated and cleaned on a regular basis. An old list is more likely to have invalid records on it than a fresh one.
3. Select a reputable vendor to purchase (remember that lists are âboughtâ for one-time use only, unless multi-use arrangements have been negotiated beforehand) your list from. The most important criteria is to make sure that they are a member in good standing with the DMA (Direct Marketing Association). If you donât see the DMA logo displayed on their site, donât assume it is safe to use them. You can contact the DMA online at: www.the-dma.org.
4. Select a list that most closely mirrors your target audience. For example, if you are trying to sell gym memberships in your local area, make sure you target people who have demonstrated an interest in physical fitness and fall within any specific age, gender or income parameters you may have. Donât expect to appeal to just anyone.
5. Buy only what you can afford. It is important to test with direct mail. Your first try might not work, donât put all of your eggs in one basket.
6. Donât be afraid to raise your hand. Contact the vendor and ask for their suggestions as to what you should test. They are the professionals and can most likely save you a lot of time and frustration. The biggest decision you will have is whether or not to buy a Compiled List or a Response List.

Advice for the Big and Tall Male to Upgrade His Look in Comfortable Attire

Advice for the Big and Tall Male to Upgrade His Look in Comfortable Attire
Big and tall clothes aren’t always the most stylish, while smaller clothes never seem to fit right. But, it is possible to be a big or tall man (or both)and still dress and look stylish. To find out how, keep reading.
Skip the Too-Big and Baggy Look
Fabric that flaps and sways in the wind is rarely attractive. Now, imagine six and-a-half feet of that fabric draping and hanging. To avoid looking like a tall drape or curtain, stay away from clothing that’s too baggy. Instead, stick with clothes that fit.
It’s very common, particularly for tall men, to simply buy the biggest size they can find, hoping that it will be long enough. Stay believing that and you’ll be wearing moo-moos for the rest of your life.
Don’t Wear it Too Tight
Unfortunately, too tight is just as bad, if not worse, as too baggy. On the tall man, clothing that is too snug will make his height and slim frame more pronounced. On the big and tall man, the very same type of clothing will accentuate all the features that he wants to downplay. Instead, choose clothes that fit.
Opt for Horizontal Lines or Plaids
On a tall man, vertical lines act as an elongation device, extending his torso and making him appear taller and larger than he already is. Tall men should look for shirts with small plaids and horizontal stripes, unless you’re a big and tall man. In that case, avoid horizontal stripes and instead stick to tiny patterns and dark colors.
Wear a High Rise Pant
Unless you’re buying your pants in a specialty height store, you should always be buying high-rise pants. Big and tall men often have problems with the crotch of their pants being too short or too small. Avoid all that uncomfortable bunching and twisting by buying pants with a higher rise that fits you through the crotch.
Double Check the Break of Your Pants
The break of your pants is where the bottom hits your shoe. Ideally, your pants should fall loosely and easily on to your shoe, without revealing your ankles or socks. You may find that when you sit down, your pants will rise up, but this is common for everyone.
Choose a Flat-Fronted Pant
Particularly if you’re big and tall, pleated trousers will only accentuate any extra weight around the midsection. Instead, opt for a flat front trouser as an essential element of your big and tall clothes closet. These are also a good fit for tall men in general as pleats can actually elongate the leg, making a man appear even taller.
Tall men or those who are larger are frequently self-conscious about their height and weight. For those who would like to de-emphasize those features as part of their overall appearance, it is important to be cautious concerning the types and fit of clothing they wear. Gentlemen who learn to do this well look great.

Stop Loss Order for Day Trading
Aug 11th
Stop Loss Order for Day Trading
What is Stop Loss Order?
Stop loss order is an order to close position if/when losses reaches a particular point. In other words this is an order by which you can decide the maximum loss that you are ready to accept. Here we are going to discuss only Stop Loss Order regarding Day Trading, but the same principle can be used for Swing Trading or Long Term Trading.
Following Example can explain the point.
If u have placed a buy order at 100. You need not place a stop loss order till your trade gets executed. Once your trade gets executed, you have to place another order for Stop Loss.
Now lets assume that CMP(Current Market Price) is 100.50.
Stop Loss Order should be like this
Type= Sell
Quantity = Quantity you have got (received).
Price=99.40
Trigger price =99.50
Note: Trigger price is the price at which your order gets triggered (fired). Till then it’s on hold.
So in our example If CMP falls from 100.50 to 99.55 nothing will happen but at 99.50 your order (Stop Loss) for sell will get executed at a price of 99.40 so your loss would be limited to 0.60 (100-99.40) only.
Additional Points:
Percentage Of Stop Loss
For day trading stop loss of 1-2% max is recommended. Some traders like me use 0.5% stops, which is what I have explained (100-0.5%*100=99.5). You have to decide the % according to your experience & confidence.
If you don’t use stop loss order the price can go down by 5% or even 20% & you won’t be able to do much then, hence for every trade without fail you should use stop loss order.
A warning, don’t ever think that just because you have placed stop loss order, you are 100 % safe. That’s not the case even after a stop loss order you can suffer huge loss. Surprised? See how.
In the above example if the your stop loss order gets triggered at 99.50 for 99.40 but there is no buyer at 99.40 so the order will get triggered but not executed till there is some one ready to buy at 99.40. In mean while some one else has put a sell order at 99.30, now you are at number two still waiting, then if some one puts a sell order at 99.10 you are at number three & hence your order may left behind while others keep putting orders at less than your order & you may wonder why my stop loss order did not get execute!!!!!!!!!!!
Solution for above problem is as follows.
The gap between trigger price & price is important. If you want your stop loss order to be more secured, increase the gap.( Gap between Trigger Price & Price). i.e. triggered price at 99.50 & price 99.10(instead of 99.40). You should change the gap depending upon the share you trade. More volatile stocks require big Gap while for slow movers small Gap is enough. You can decide the Gap on the basis of difference between best buy & best sell (bid /ask) in second window.
Stop Loss For Shorting
For shorting that is selling first & then buying, the stop loss order has to be reversed as follows.
If you have shorted at 100(CMP=99.50)
Stop Loss order should look like this
Type =Buy
Quantity = Quantity you have shorted
Price=100.60
Trigger Price =100.50
Cancel/Modify Stop Loss Order
The most important thing if your stop loss does not get hit & you earn profit by squaring of your position; do not forget to cancel the stop loss order. Yes I repeat do not forget to cancel the stop loss order. Other better option is that you can modify your stop loss order as Trailing Stop till the execution. (I do this as I forget to cancel the stop loss order.)
Following example can explain how you can do this.
Your Stop Loss for first example was 99.50 for 99.40, right? Now if the CMP has gone up from 100.50 to 102.20, you can modify your stop loss order to 101.10 in place of 99.50 & 101.00 for 99.40. If price keeps going up, keep following the price by modification.
Always remember the following rule.
For buy’s Stop Loss Order (Type=Sell) “Trigger Price” should be more than “Price” of Stop Loss Order & for Short Selling’s Stop Loss Order (Type=Buy) “Trigger Price” should be less than “Price” of Stop Loss Order.
Important Note:
Some Trading Systems allow Trader to enter Stop Loss Order at the time of Actual Order and some Systems allow Stop Loss Order to get automatically cancelled against squaring off position.
Happy Day Trading

Todayâs topic: MORTGAGE CYCLING
How are you this evening?â¦Great, great! Happy to hear that, happy to hear that. Welcome to our show. You know, everyone is getting ready for the 4th of July weekend, and all types of crazy stuff is going on. Little kids are strapping firecrackers onto the backs of stray animals; fires are sparking up all over the country. The temperature was about 97 degrees today. Itâs a little bit wild⦠We still haveânt purchased any fireworks yet, but we should have one of those mega-family fun packs by the end of the night.
Anyway, today we have a great show for you. On the Ultimate, Super, Fantastic, Mortgageâ¦Resource Site! I had someone ask what Mortgage cycling was. So I want to discuss some aspects of âMortgage Cycling Revealedâ. It explains how to quickly build equity in your home, and pay it off within 10 years or less, all without making biweekly mortgage payments. This would be a pretty cool thing to do right? First off, you pay down your mortgage a lot faster than originally planned. Once your house is payed off, that does mean less stress right? Not to mention more spending money from the equity that youâve built. Who knows, maybe you can use that extra money to add on to your existing home, pay for your childâs college tuition, go on your dream vacation around the world, or maybe even purchase a second property! Itâs your money, do what you want with it.
To our previous caller, some of the things I really like about âMortgage Cycling Revealedâ, is that you get bonuses like the mortgage Cycling Calculator, a guide so that youâll know âWhich Loan is Right For Me?â, Specialty Mortgage Products, âYour Mortgage Checklistâ, and learn how to âCancel Your Private Mortgage Insuranceâ.
As far as this mortgage cycling goes, we know some of you may say, â What about the economy? Things may not look so good in the futureâ. It really doesânt matter when you use a system that works no matter what shape the economy is in. Some of you may live in certain areas that you are not so sure of, or worry about the type of mortgage you are tied into. It doesnât matter where you live or what type of mortgage you have. Some people donât know anything, or very little about mortgages. But it doesânt make a difference how much you know or donât know about mortgages.
Mortgage Cycling Tip:
If youâre looking to pay down your home in a fraction of the time and have the extra cash to spare, why wouldânt you save $$$ on the interest charges of your home? Some say itâs riskyâ¦anything is when you donât go about it the right way. Learn the facts, and take advantage of the benefits. Knowledge is power.

Probability And Investment!
Aug 9th
Probability And Investment!
If I want to be good as an investor, then I need to be good at arithmetic to analyze the odds of an investment. Also, I need to be able to read and write. There is where scholastic education plays an important role. Scholastic education teaches me how to read, write and do arithmetic. It is one of the three vital educations as highlighted by the Rich Dad’s series by Robert Kiyosaki. The other two vital educations are professional education and financial education.
How does arithmetic play a part in investment? To answer this question, I need to explain a little on the probability using the example of a coin.
What happen when I throw a coin and let it lands onto the table? It is obvious that the coin is either going to show head or tail. What if I throw 2 times, what are the chances of the coin showing head?
I cannot really be sure what are the chances. I may get 2 heads in a row. I may get 1 head and 1 tail. I may get 2 tails.
What if I throw a 100 times? How many times is the coin showing head? I will find that the number will be somewhere near 50. In other words, I will find that there is a 50 percent chance of getting a head if the number of throws is large enough. The probability of getting a head is the chances of the coin showing head out of a large number of throws. That is the probability of getting a head is 0.5.
Similarly, if I have thrown a six-sided dice, the probability of getting a six in a 100 throws is about 1/6. But I can do something to increase my odds of getting a six. I can use a modified six-sided dice that has a higher probability of showing a six compared to a normal six-sided dice. In this way, the probability of getting a six is increased.
And this is what a professional investor does to make money from an investment. He increases the probability of winning by identifying and managing the risks involved. He does not invest for the sake of investment. He has a plan for investment that includes risk management. Yes, investment is a plan based on what I have understood from the Rich Dad’s series by Robert Kiyosaki.
A good example will be looking at how a professional trader makes use of probability to his advantage.
In a stock market, the price of a share can go up, go down or remain the same. That is the probability of the share price going up is 1/3. Remember, the probability only holds if there is a sufficient large amount of trades. Like in the case of throwing a coin, the probability of 0.5 is true only if there is a large number of throws.
Let imagine that I have an initial capital of ,000 to invest in shares. If I invest ,000 in a single trade, what is the probability of the share price going up? There is no way to predict or tell. This is like throwing a coin once and try to guess whether it will show head or tail upon landing.
If I invest 0 in each trade, then I can make at least 100 trades. That is the number of times that the share prices will go up in a 100 trades is near 33. This is like throwing a coin a hundred times and the number of times that I will get a head in a 100 throws is near to 50.
A professional trader understands the fact that probability is only true if there are a sufficient large number of trades. Thus, he only risks a small amount of this capital in each trade.
Another way to apply this probability is to limit the loss of each trade to 0. That is, I can invest all my capital in the share of a single company. If the share price goes down and my loss hit 0, I will sell off my position and exit the stock market. Of course if the share price drops too suddenly, I will end up losing much more money than I am willing to loss. Thus, this approach is not that advisable.
In addition, the professional trader makes use of technical analysis to increase the odds of winning. He analyses the chart for indication of to buy and sell. Also, he uses a few other techniques to increase his chance of winning. All these are included as part of his investment plan.
The above description is based on my understanding by reading a book. I have gathered from the Rich Dad series by Robert Kiyosaki that investment plan is different for each individual. If I read more books, I will definitely find more approaches and methods for trading. Different professional traders have different investment plans and thus they will do things differently.
