I wanted to take action on this sooner rather than later. The stock picks and investing portion of Maximum Business Credit has been such a success that I decided to spin off an entire blog about our trading strategy.

It is with great pleasure (and effort) that I announce my new blog, RecordPriceBreakout.com

The new blog will continue to provide free stock picks and investing advice, at least for existing members. If I start seeing over 500 visitors a day, I may have to change it over to a membership based site, but all of you will continue to have access for free.

Cheers,

Steve

The follow information is taken from the investools website:

Red & Green Arrows

An exclusive Investor Toolbox feature that helps you more accurately time your buying and selling activities based on a stock’s technical indicators. Basically, when three green arrows line up on three different indicators simultaneously, it’s a good time to enter an investment. But when three red arrows line up, it’s time to sit this one out. The red and green arrows show up on these indicators:

• Stochastic: Who is winning the daily battle between the bulls and the bears
• Moving Average: Tells whether a stock is in an uptrend, downtrend or moving sideways
• Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): Displays the interaction of two moving averages, fast and slow
• Searches by rank, name, analysis and commentary
• Featured industry profiles

The following video is the first method of achieving these results using a free website tool http://clearstation.etrade.com

Enjoy.

As the "green" movement continues to get more traction, so do the programs available for helping people to become green. Hence, I did some digging around to see how Uncle Sam is participating. Here is what I found.

Federal

The Unitied States federal government is offering a $.60 / square foot tax incentivs to businesses who build or update buildings in 1 or more of the three following ways:

1. the building envelope
2. lighting
3. heating and cooling systems

In order to receive the maximum $1.80 / sqare foot benefit, the energy savings from these updates must aim to achive a %50 reduction in energy used for heating and cooling.

This tax incentive is available through 12/31/08.

 Additional Resources:

• IRS Notice 2006-52 (6/2/2006)
• ENERGY STAR Brochure for Commercial Tax Deductions
• Commercial Building Tax Deduction Coalition
• Department of Energy Web site on Tax Incentives
• Special Offers and Rebates from ENERGY STAR® Partners

State and Local Programs

Many state and local programs offer discounts, sales tax incentives, and even cash grants to businesses. For instance, here in Washington, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) offers grants to its customers who install efficiency upgrades to their existing equipment or facility. Grants often range from several hundred dollars to over a hundred thousand dollars, and typically pay for about 50% of a project’s cost; sometimes up to 70% of the installed cost. Common projects for energy efficiency grant incentives include:

• Lighting Retrofits  
   
• HVAC Systems & Controls (natural gas & electric)  
   
• Efficient water heating (domestic, heating, & process)  
   
• Adjustable Speed Drives  
   
• Compressed air system upgrades  
   
• Industrial process systems & equipment  
   
• Building commissioning  
   
• Adjustable Speed Drives

Here is a list of resouces available from state programs:

Navigating the financial markets in the US, particularly right now with the strength of the economy in question can be emotional and a bit unnerving. Sean over at Stock Hola does a very good job of following the markets eb and flow, and giving unemotional updates based on what’s really going on.

He writes mid day and closing reports on the current state of the trading day. Below is a qutoe from today’s market closing.

Bad news in the morning pushes stocks to open 100 points lower. The entire day has no moves and remains steady at a 120 point loss. Investors are now going to wait and hold it out to see what news and events happen this weekend. Any major news is going to either push the market to crash on Monday or Rise stocks on an upbeat note.

AGI losses and citygroup shedding 400million in assets where major key players today and remained the only large news for the entire day holding stocks steady. Many have the assumption that when people buy stocks the price goes up and when people sell stocks the price goes down. In reality this has little effect and what you need to be looking for is news headlines. This will give you a better idea of how the market will do.

This weekend I will post any major news breaks and post up some pages on what IRA’s are and how to invest in them.

And…Unlike most stock picking strategies or courses, everything you need to use this strategy is available on a free website.

Big Fat Reminder!!!!

You must still diversify your stock portfolio across several different industries, choose stop levels (price as which the stock is sold automatically if it gets that low), profit levels, and you must manage your position size. If you’re not familiar with all of these concepts, please do some research on individual stock investing before using this strategy.
