			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-407" href="http://www.financialcookiejar.com/optioneer-trading-program/optioneer-trading-3/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-407" title="optioneer trading 3" src="http://www.financialcookiejar.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/optioneer-trading-3-300x154.jpg" alt="optioneer trading 3" width="300" height="154" /></a><strong>Optioneer Trading</strong> is a system that has been developed to help our members manage risk while trading options.  Importantly, Optioneer members are taught to follow some basic rules and guidelines for risk management and profit taking.</p>
<p>Adherence to these rules help our customers mitigate losses, while at the same time, access profits.  Some of the people who have been unsuccessful with Optioneer are those who have ignored the risk management rules and have taken on more risk than recommended.</p>
<p>Some customers have said.<br />
1.&#8221;I began telling my family and friends, how pleased I was with the Optioneer. Since then, four of my children are trading with Optioneer; and five of my brothers and sisters. My ex-wife has her own account as well. We are all happy and excited about the Optioneer method of trading.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Ray Naisbitt<br />
Retired Air Traffic Controller</em></p>
<p>2. &#8220;Optioneer is a trading strategy that is risk tolerant and requires very little of my time. As a retiree I want freedom to do my own &#8220;thing&#8221; and not have to spend hours looking at the daily market activity. While any type of trading has some risk, I believe that Optioneer&#8217;s strategy minimizes that risk. The staff at Optioneer are very dedicated and informative. They know their stuff! I highly recommend Optioneer.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Larry Rector<br />
Retired American Airlines Pilot</em></p>
<p>3. &#8220;I have now realized that if the rules are followed, that the Optioneer strategy fits hand in hand with my current investments. I feel if done properly Optioneer is a truly amazing risk management strategy.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Eric Kandell<br />
Entrepreneur</em></p>
<p>A few other resources about <strong>Optioneer Trading</strong> you can check are:<br />

<p>There is a risk of loss in trading futures &amp; options  This website refers to &#8220;Testimonials&#8221;. No representation is being made that the use of the trading methodology will generate profits or eliminate losses from trading. In fact, some Optioneer customers have had significant losses even if they have followed all the rules.  None of the results referenced in any testimonial are necessarily indicative of trading results that may or will be experienced in the future. In addition, losses may have been incurred subsequent to the date on which the testimonial was provided.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m always talking about how there are so many ways to <strong>save money</strong>, so here are some examples about how to save some cash on what you eat and use in the home.</p>
<p>This one is probably something that you have already thought about, but here we go anyway:  Don&#8217;t eat out.  This is a difficult one to live at the beginning, but many of my friends discover that home cooked <strong>food</strong> is better for you, more tasty and adds variety to your life besides.  Impress others with you skills in the kitchen and give yourself another skill where you can use your creativity.</p>
<p>Your <strong>pocket book</strong> will thank you.</p>
<p>Number two is to go to the grocery store less.  Almost all people buy impulse items when they are in the store.  If you only go once or twice a month than you will still buy impulse items, but they will be far fewer than the total of going two or three times a week.</p>
<p>Take a lunch to work as well.  When you take lunch you will eat healthier and have more time to do other things you want to do.  You can finish the leftovers that you have to eat after cooking before.</p>
<p>There may be <strong>food</strong> of higher qualities, but on a whole generic is just about the same as name brand.  Buy generic.  You will still get the <strong>food</strong>s you need and want and it will be for almost half the price.</p>
<p>Finally, pay attention to the price of actual units like toilet paper in a pack of 32.  You will discover that you are often assuming that the bigger package is a better deal when the stores you are going to are taking advantage of that assumption.</p>
<p>Consider your <strong>shopping</strong> and your <strong>eating</strong> and you might be surprised just how much <strong>money</strong> you are actually saving.</p>

<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Okay, this is a problem and I am not just talking about companies struggling.  For a moment, lets remind ourselves where government money comes from&#8230;uh it still the people right?  Yeah, its still the people, the money doesn&#8217;t just appear out of nowhere.  The closest thing is when we print more money, which by the way will just make things worse than they have been.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">I don&#8217;t want to go there, but I do want to say the government is not supposed to be taking responsibility from the people.  If there are companies that are hurting, well that’s life.  Guess what were all hurting, why doesn&#8217;t the government bailout individuals?</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">I&#8217;ll tell you why, because that would be stupid.  That would be like we are paying for ourselves to be paid and we are paying someone (government employees) to do that.  I mean, I must by taking crazy pills!  The government helping us financially does not help us financially.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">What we are talking about is socialism vs. Democracy.  If we want Socialism lets rewrite the constitution!  Let us be America!  Opportunity does not mean others fixing your mistakes.  Really!</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 14.25pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: &quot;Lucida Sans Unicode&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">P.S. If we bailout the porn industry I am moving to Canada or Italy.  Their governments don&#8217;t pretend to be something they are not!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year, at the first of the year, we are expected to make new years resolutions. Since the new year just recently came about I have been thinking about my own new years resolutions in the context of my life. What will really last? What do I really care about? What do I want to be a change in the rest of my life? That is how I have begun to make a paradigm shift.</p>
<p>When the New Year comes around I should be planning life changes not merely changes that will effect my life for a year. This is never more applicable as with personal finances.  When you need to make a resolution, make one that you can keep and you can keep doing for the rest of your life.  If you add up changes like that yearly you will soon discover that your life if full of wonderful habits that are an active part of your life.  If we could just find one more way to save more money every year the money that you would be saving would increase exponentially.</p>
<p>Just a thought for everybody on what we could really do with our resolutions.  Make the change small, but long-term.  I think that we will find that as the years pass and we continue to keep this up that we will have more power in controlling our financial lives.  Good luck!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The majority of us are freaking out because the economy is struggling. That&#8217;s normal right? You would think so and it likely is normal, but there are those who are not stressing the current situation and heres why:</p>
<p>While most of us have been living on borrowed money there are those who chose to save and not indulge. They chose to practice control rather than feed material desires. In the case of those who have decided to own their finances instead of be slaves to them they are not stressing the current economy, in fact, you might be surprised to learn that some are celebrating it!</p>
<p>Unbelievable right? Not really. Look around you and you will discover that, minus a few exceptions, loan rates are lower, businesses are more financially friendly and poperty is cheaper than it has been in a decade. If you had a load of saved wealth in this econonmy you would be celebrating the down turn as well.</p>
<p>The old Confution saying goes something like, &#8220;The prize does not go to the fastest but to the one who endures.&#8221; If this is true then we are losing the race, because we are not enduring. We are not saving our money and we are more in debt than ever before.</p>
<p>You ask, &#8220;So what are you doing Dan? Trying to show us how bad we are at managing our finaces?&#8221; The truth is I can improve my own financial status, but just remember how we could be making money right now and not losing it!</p>
<p>Get ready now so that you can take advaatage of the next downward turn in the economy. Again, be prepared to dip into the cookie jar so, while everyone else you know is stressing over their finances you can be looking to make profit on opportunities that will arrise, because no one else has really planned on there being hard timesl. Save now&#8230;get rich later!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is definately looking like we are looking at the long haul when we are hoping that the economy will turn around. To our personal benefit, companies out there are struggling to continue making money and thus, have to take drastic measures. For a smart family or individual the pain that businesses are going through can be an easy way to gain. Since business is experience difficulties they have to compete harder for your money, no matter the type of business they may be. Now is the time to start shopping. Not for more material things, but for companies that you can use to get more bang for your buck.

We all want to give as much as we can and yet it often seems that there is not that much to give.
