Thinking Like a Winner in The Stock Market

Leave a comment

From the outside looking in, the stock market appears to be this simple mechanism, where people can make a lot of money. It gives the illusion you can become rich with a secret indicator of some kind, great tips, or a little bit of luck. The answer is none of the above. The world’s best stock market operators or futures market traders do not need some secret indicator, they do not follow tips or advice from others, and they certainly do not depend on luck to amass fortunes. The world’s best have developed, in a trading sense, proper cognitive diversity. They can think successfully in a multitude of ways, pertinent to trading the markets.

The stock market, and other trading venues, fool most of the people most of the time. These markets are what is known as, a complex adaptive system. They give illusions of simplicity, but in reality, it takes many years of proper trading education to be consistently successful. The learning curve is a steep one. It is not just about learning strategies, methods, and techniques that work. The number one factor that determines success is the psychological part of trading. About 5 to 10% of all traders in the stock market and futures market make almost all the money. To join this elite group, you must be able to think proficiently, in a multitude of crucial ways. You need to think, and act, differently than the 90 to 95% of traders that lose in the long run.

The best way to become successful at anything, is to learn from someone who has already achieved great long-term success. Once you learn the strategies, methods, and principles required, then implement them for yourself. Much of what I have learned about the stock market comes directly from William J. O’Neil. O’Neil is the founder of Investors Business Daily, and is widely considered one of the best stock market operators of all time. When it comes to trading the futures market, much of what I have learned comes from Richard Dennis and Michael Covel. The trend following method they utilize is absolutely exceptional. In fact, John Henry, the majority owner of the Boston Red Sox, made most of his money implementing this superb method of trading. Learn from the best. Read their books. Study and learn their strategies, methods, and principles. Then implement what you learn into your own trading.

Once someone can implement successful strategies, methods, and principles into their trading, they have taken a major step toward joining that elite 5 to 10% I was alluding to earlier. These elite traders make most of the money in the stock market and/or futures market. They also understand and implement proper trading psychology. Most of the time, normal human nature does not work, when it comes to trading the various market venues. Emotions such as greed, fear, and hope will cloud your judgement. When this happens, you really have no chance. Mark Douglas is an expert when it comes to trading psychology. He taught me how to develop a successful traders mindset. It was at this point, I became consistently successful, whether I was trading the stock market or the futures market.

Leave a comment

Frbiz.com, one of China’s leading B2B industry websites, reports China packaging machinery will enter U.S. market.

The U.S. packaging market will be large-scale use of packaging machinery which from China.

China is experiencing accelerated development process, as a free and open market; the United States door has been open to China’s packaging enterprises. The only question is when China’s packaging enterprises in what manner to go into, and get successful.

China’s packaging machinery whether could break into the U.S. market, on the one hand related to the level of China’s packaging machinery technology. On the other hand, it is related to the U.S. packaging machinery market.

As a highly developed liberalization market, the U.S. packaging machinery manufacturers, “polarization” phenomenon is very clear. While to heat shrink packaging machine, binding machine and sealing packaging machinery also has a significant proportion; the labelling machine, capping machine these mainly large-scale packaging machineries production line in United States has basically does not produce, the market is almost the imported equipments, especially Germany and Italy equipments occupied the market.

Through imitation, introduction of technology and capital and global sourcing, etc., China’s packaging machinery manufacturing level and the level of industrial design have gotten rapidly development. Today, China packaging machinery manufacturing enterprises can easily through globalization sourcing gain some of the key components, thereby rapidly improve the technical level and reliability of equipment. If we say that in labelling machines, packing machines and robotic equipment, the Chinese-made machineries can not compete with Germany, Italy and Japan, then in some low-tech products, currently China produced a lot of packaging machineries, has meet the requirements of the U.S. market, and are most likely to get a breakthrough in the short term. In particular, some general-purpose packaging machinery, such as heat shrink packaging machine, binding machine , labelling machine, sealing machine, vacuum packing machine, weighing / filling / sealing machine, etc.. The costs of Chinese-made products are not half of the United States products, which have strong competitiveness. Low price is the key for Chinese packaging machinery to enter the U.S. market.

Demand Surges for MEMS That Address Critical Issues

Leave a comment

According to the market research firm iSuppli Corp., capitalizing on a gamut of hot-button issues ranging from global warming to aging populations, the market for high-value Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is set for very rapid growth in a large number of highly diverse segments.

Revenue for high-value MEMS is projected to reach $1.6 billion in 2010, up 29.7 percent from $1.2 billion in 2009. Such revenue levels translate into equivalent MEMS shipments of 103.3 million units this year, compared to last year’s 86.8 million units.

High-value MEMS are defined as sensors and actuators for applications that are outside the high-volume consumer electronics and automotive volume markets, and instead address the industrial, medical, energy, optical telecom and aerospace-defense segments.

With the exception of the consumer-and-mobile MEMS market, the high-value MEMS space is the fastest-growing MEMS technology sector — ahead of the inkjet and automotive MEMS markets.

iSuppli’s supply chain research indicates that in 2014, high-value MEMS revenue will hit an estimated $2.6 billion, equating to a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 19.7 percent when measured from the starting year of 2009.

“The rapid growth of high-value MEMS is being driven by global trends that highlight the unique value proposition that the tiny devices bring to countless applications,” said Richard Dixon, PhD, Senior Analyst (MEMS & Sensors) at iSuppli. “For instance, MEMS micro valves, pressure sensors and flow sensors are used to help reduce energy consumption in industrial processes, residential heating and transportation systems. MEMS sensors and actuators also play an important role in less invasive monitoring procedures for patients and elderly people, while increasing the efficiency and comfort of drug delivery. And in China, fiber deployments in the country are helping stimulate the overall global optical MEMS market for telecommunications.”

In addition to the robust expansion expected for the years ahead, the high-value MEMS market is characterized by the large number of market niches in play; iSuppli currently tracks approximately 110 device and application cases in the various high-value MEMS segments.

For instance, while the top 20 suppliers for the overall MEMS market account for 79 percent of total revenue, the top 20 suppliers in high-value MEMS account for only 60 percent—leaving more market opportunities for many suppliers to compete in the space.

At present, the high-value MEMS supply chain comprises a wide variety of manufacturers, including large system companies with their own MEMS production like Honeywell Inc. and General Electric. The supply chain also includes big semiconductor companies like Analog Devices Inc. and Freescale Semiconductor; independent sensor suppliers such as VTI Technologies and Omron; specialized entities like MEMSCAP and many start-ups and lesser known semiconductor firms.

Within the high-value MEMS market, industrial applications such as building automation and semiconductor manufacturing dominate, accounting for approximately 56 percent of overall high-value MEMS revenue projected for 2010.Medical electronics are in second place, followed by aerospace-defense in third, and wired communications in fourth.
