Two Words That Will Guarantee Your Success
You've maybe known the 3 biggest mistakes any of us can make when looking for our dream job (and how to avoid them) ... then you need to know the 2 words that guarantee your success so you can put them into your career search activity program.Most of the competition for your dream job is sitting at home moaning about their lack of opportunity. Complaining that NO one is hiring in my age group; my sex group; my ethnic group; my whatever... it's never their fault that unemployment is their punishment.Actually, excuses don't pay and never will in our lifetime. It's all about getting off the backside and doing something constructive for yourself. Nobody is going to show up and do it for you.One BIG problem is that a negative attitude will cancel any positive thought in an interview. An Interviewer can see through the hype and recognize a loser almost instantly. You're out the door before the interview begins, wondering what happened.If you want to find success then you have to ACT like it's already part of your life. Vibrations - our psychic - the re

How to Attract New Business Like George W. Bush Wins Elections
THE LITTLE-KNOWN SPEECHWRITING SECRETS THAT WON GEORGE W. BUSH THE US ELECTIONHe's been accused of "mangling the language, destroying its meaning by avoiding the use of verbs, twisting nouns into verbs, and endlessly repeating phrases until they become zombified" (Source:'Bush and Blair accused of mangling English' by Kate Kelland, Reuters.com.uk, Mon 15 November, 2004 12:50).But despite this George W. Bush has become the first Republican president to win re-election since Ronald Reagan in 1984.And he's been able to motivate the US public to vote in record numbers.In a time of stress and crisis, Bush was able to connect with the masses.Bush – who according to language experts once famously used the word "misunderestimate", romped home with a record majority receiving 3.5 million more votes than John Kerry.Why did Bush win by so much when analysts were predicting one of the closest elections in years?Well, the shocking truth is that Bush and his advisers are masters of modern-day speechwriting.What would you do if you had this skill to move and m

It’s Monday April 24, 2006, and the earnings parade continues but that is not the headline news for traders. The situation in Iran and the growing tensions have forced crude oil to hit all time highs trading over $75 a barrel on its way to $80, now this rise is dependent on the tension remaining in Iran and Nigeria, which does not show signs of letting up anytime soon, so $80 is realistic. On the metals front Gold traded over $635 on Friday making its way to $800, Silver is no slouch as it has traded as high as $13 on Friday making its way to $18 possibly $20, high grade Copper traded as high as $314 while Platinum went as high as $1140. One metal that I haven’t mentioned yet I will address this week along with a few ideas of companies that stand to benefit.

Political Front

China’ s President Hu Jintao continues his world tour as he has departed from the United States and heads to Saudi Arabia. This is part of both China’s desire to be a global player and the world’s concern about oil.

To avoid further bloodshed, Nepal’s King has agreed to do away with the one-man rule, this will appease both the protesters and global leaders.

The United States is now putting pressure on Russia to stop selling weapons to Iran until Tehran ceases their nuclear developments. This will add to the mounting tension and help crude oil trade higher as it looks at the $80 a barrel mark.

Now in Italy, Romano Prodi received his final congratulations call after getting the word from the courts that he was indeed victorious, the call came from President Bush. At this point Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has yet to concede, maybe he’ll make Prodi an offer that he can’t refuse.

Movers and Shakers

Some major movers in Friday’s trading session include Titanium Metals (NYSE: TIE) which traded up $6.72 to close at $63.96, First Republic Bank of San Fran (NYSE: FRC) which traded up $3.95 to close at $43.46, Pilgrims Pride (NYSE: PPC) which traded up $2.13 to close at $23.49.

Petroleum Geo Services (NYSE: PGS) made almost a 10 percent bump up, it traded up $5.14 to close at $56.90 but bear in mind that this was on very light volume, this is an example of a thinly traded security that can move up rapidly on little volume. Other companies include MRO Software (NASDAQ: MROI) which traded up close to 30 percent, it traded up $4.47 to close at $20.68, TravelZoo (NASDAQ: TZOO) had another roaring up day as it traded up $7.66 to close at $44.35, now TravelZoo on April 17, 2006 was trading in the $20 range and a short squeeze occurred because once they announced their earnings the stock shot up, so the coming weeks should be interesting for TZOO as the shorts may look for the stock to peak shortly. Housevalues (NASDAQ: SOLD) traded up almost 20 percent as it went up $1.45 to close at $9.45 on Friday.

Analyst Upgrades/Downgrades

Now three companies that we have featured on Wall Street to Main Street have just received analyst coverage from Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH), a stock by the way that should be in the $190 to $200 as mergers and acquisitions continue to rise, now back to the companies that they initiated coverage for, they include:

Weight Watchers (NYSE: WTW) they initiated it as Equal Weight, Herballife (NYSE: HLF) they initiated it as Overweight, Nutri Systems (NASDAQ: NTRI) they initiated it as Overwieght and Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTM) they initiated it as Overweight. I thought it a pun was intended with the Overweight status for diet and exercise companies.

With crude oil on the move A.G. Edwards bumped up their target price on a few companies. They raised Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY) to $118 from $100, we said that it would break their 52-week high recently and it did, $118 is attainable, but don’t get greedy, take some off the top if you start to see some weakness. Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) was raised from $69 to $72, Marathon Oil (NYSE: MRO) was raised from $79 to $96 and BP PLC (NYSE: BP) was raised from $78 to 88.

CIBC World Markets upgraded International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT) from a Sector Underperformer to a Sector Performer. Now IGT had a nice run and pulled back temporarily and may present an opportunity as it creates a new trading range. That is some food for thought.

We cannot stress enough that investors need to do their due diligence, call the companies, get the information, consult with your investment advisor and if you do not have one consider getting one. Put the same time into investigating these companies as you do when you go to purchase a new television, it’s only for your protection. When it comes to thinly traded securities stagger your orders or put a limit order in to avoid a run up.

Finding a Phoenix Lender
If you're looking to buy a house in Phoenix, and don’t know where to find the Phoenix lender that can offer you the best rate, consider beginning with an online search. Many times you can find a search engine such as LendingTree.com that has five or more lenders during one search. This gives you an opportunity to review more than one at a time, thus saving time. In addition, instead of having to go to several different websites for more information on a Phoenix lender, you can eliminate some with the initial search, and then go forward with additional research on the others.If you use the search engines that are intended for seeking out various lenders, you will find that locating a Phoenix lender will be less time-consuming. For example, if you see ten lenders on a page, and some have substantially higher mortgage rates than others, you can immediately eliminate those without having to conduct any further research. The key to an online search is to eliminate as many potential lenders as possible with the initial search, thus allowing more time for a detailed search of those lenders that are c

Empowerment Equals Abandonment?
I must confess that the idea for this blog was not mine. It was the idea of a good friend and business partner, Ian MacMillan.Empowerment is a really hot topic nowadays. It has been for a while. It's very popular for companies to be able to claim that they "empower their employees". Everyone feels good about this. It sounds good after all, even if you're not sure what "empower" means you almost feel cool to be able to say "I'm empowered". What does it mean in the practical sense? Well, the theory is that you are given responsibility (read power). You are accountable for a specific set of deliverables. You are in control! I can tell, you feel good already don't you(?).So, that's the theory, now for some practice. Many are cynics of empowerment, simply through common misuse of the word. Some might even say that Empowerment equals Abandonment. I don't believe this but I do believe that it happens. In fact, I know it does from personal experience. So how do you know whether you've been empowered abandoned? To start with you'll have a line manager who, previously, was a firm believer in dele

How to Avoid Being Taken Advantage of on Free Consultations
1. Limit the consultation to 30 minutes!Remember: your time is valuable. Thirty minutes is plenty of time for the prospective client to get to know you, like you, be impressed by you, etc. and sufficient time for you to get a good feel for whether you would like to work with the prospective client. Make sure the prospective client understands that the consultation will last 30 minutes and, to the extent additional time is requested, your “regular rate” will apply.2. Ask the prospective client to do some preliminary work prior to the consultation.Although you’re “giving away” 30 minutes of your time, the prospective client needs to understand your time IS valuable. One way to get this across is by asking the prospective client to do some work. This may be cutting our pictures of rooms she/he likes from home & garden magazines (explain that this will help you understand her/his style, color preferences, etc.). Or you may choose to prepare a brief Questionnaire, asking the prospective client to tell you more about the project she/he has in mind, her/his “design dilemma”, her/h

Materialize Your Entrepreneurial Dream With Proper Funding Avenues
Raising money is often a difficult task if you're starting your own business, but it needn't be that grueling so long as you ensure that the fundamentals are in place. It's inevitable that you'll need some financial assistance at one time or another. It may be that you need a loan to get your business enterprise off the ground, or an overdraft to see you through the first few months of trading. As a consequence, small business growth and the entrepreneurs behind it rely upon supports from all sectors of society, public, private and voluntary.The definition of what constitutes a small or medium business will depend on the purpose for which the definition is required. Small business may be thought of as having a financial growth cycle in which financial needs and options change as the business grows, gains further experience, and becomes less dependent on other sources. So small business financing requires sophisticated care and concern for long-term profit considering the importance of small business in the whole national economy.Over the past few decades, small businesse
