			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The iPad is the latest craze and I purchased mine recently. No doubt it is much better than a PC. You can simply sit in your bed with this tablet or carry it on your way to the office and the sheer convenience it offers is hard to beat. I have had the iPhone for years and as an investor I have used to track my portfolio of stocks whenever I am on the move.</p>
<p><strong>On my iPhone I have these apps which I think are still going strong in 2012</strong></p>
<p><strong>CNBC Real Time</strong> – As the name suggests this one from CNBC provides real time news and stock prices. The best part of the app is the great interfaces and the historical interactive charts that it dishes out for each stock.</p>
<p><strong>Stock Ticker Picker</strong> – This is the one which I use to build my portfolio and create the watch lists. It has some really good tools to create the portfolio and track the stock prices, gains and technical charts.</p>
<p>I also have the usual suspects which I use rarely though which are the The Street app and the Market Watch app.</p>
<p><strong>Here are the two must have apps for your iPad in 2012</strong></p>
<p><strong>Stock Guru</strong> – This app is simply too good and I would say that it is the Guru of all apps. The app has some real great information for each stock. It gives all the information with regards to analysing the risk factors for a particular stock. It also tells about the financial strength of the company via the financial ratios. It also assigns a guru rating to a stock to help make you a decision of a particular stock. With that guru rating then is the financial rating, the momentum rating, the risk rating and the risk score. Unbeatable is what I would say for those who buy and sell stock all by themselves rather than relying on a stock broker.</p>
<p><strong>Stock Watch</strong> – As the name suggests this one is for pure tracking of stocks within your portfolio and for creating the watch lists for stocks to buy. It gives real time information on stock prices and also builds the technical charts for the stocks. It is purely for checking the stock prices and basic information about the stock related trades. Still a must have for keeping a tab on your portfolio.</p>
<p><strong>Other good iPad apps are</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ichartist</strong> – If you are a technical analyst to the core then you need this app. It will give you some technical charts with charts likes Bollinger bands, 200 DMA, Candlestick patterns, exponential moving average etc.</p>
<p><strong>Bloomberg for iPad</strong> – Coming form Bloomberg this app is really great and works like a charm. It has real time data on stocks as well as news from all the stock market around the world. There are some great tools that you can use within this app and also get some expert advices with Podcasts that are sent for your consumption.</p>
<p><strong>Market Watch</strong> – This one from Dow Jones has tons of information though I do not think this is as focussed an app as the others. This has good amount of articles and theories and discussions to help you form an opinion for a stock or the trends in the stock market in general.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gold is one such commodity which is most favored by investors as a safe haven against all the stock and currency fluctuations. The Euro crisis is causing a lot of pressure on the currencies all across the world and the investors are flocking to buy gold as something to hold on in these testing times.</p>
<p>Now you can buy gold in a number of forms however the easiest way is to buy gold from the stock market. In this article I will explore the ways by which you can buy the gold on the stock market.</p>
<p>Buying gold stock – There are a lot of golf mining and predicting companies which have their stocks listed on NYSE or TSX. These stocks typically move in tandem with the price of gold. The reason is that any increase in the price of gold straight away goes to increase the profits of these companies. The reason for this being that they have a relatively fixed input costs and any increase in selling price increases the profit margins of these companies.</p>
<p>Now investors need to be aware that there are senior god stocks and the junior gold stocks. The junior gold stocks are much more volatile and risky, so for long term bets it is better to go for senior gold stocks like Kinross Gold, Yamana Gold, Barrick Corp. or Gold Corp.</p>
<p><strong> Gold ETF</strong></p>
<p>The gold ETF’s in simple language are shares which track the spot price of gold. So the price of the Gold ETF is basically the price of physical gold. The two major gold ETF’s which are a must have in case you need to buy gold in the stock market are SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD) and the other is iShares Gold Trust (NYSE: IAU).</p>
<p>GLD price per share is 1/10<sup>th</sup> of the price of gold and IAU price is 1/100<sup>th</sup> the price of gold.</p>
<p>These ETF’s can be bought as stock on the NYSE and they are very liquid. The benefit of owning these is that you do not have to worry about the storage of physical gold as these ETF’s have the underlying gold which is held by them in the storage across the world.</p>
<p><strong>Gold Futures</strong> – Futures is a risky thing and I would suggest that as regular investor you just stick to gold stocks and ETF’s. For futures you need understanding of buy and sell side and even the way the CME works.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gold is the safe bet that everyone is looking at in these times or turmoil and economic uncertainty. There ways in which you can invest in gold which can range from buying the physical gold in form of gold bars or gold coins or you can invest in something like gold stocks. You can even invest in gold ETF’s. Buying the stocks directly versus buying the gold ETF has its own pros and cons.</p>
<p>Gold ETF is good as you are buying at the underlying price of the physical gold. With gold stocks you can hit a bull run for sure based on which stock you pick. There are various stocks for gold and each of these are in various stages of gold mining and refining.</p>
<p>Gold refining stocks see an upside when the gold price is high as they have the input and refining costs as fixed. If the price of gold increases then the companies make more profit as they can sell the gold at a higher price.</p>
<p>There are other stocks which are primarily aimed at mining the gold. These companies hinge their fortune on finding the gold deposits and mining them. They are primarily engaged in exploration.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>David Bakke is a writer for <a href="http://www.moneycrashers.com/">Money Crashers Personal Finance</a>, where he covers topics like stock market investing and saving for retirement.</em></p>
<p>Saving for retirement is essential &#8211; especially with the questionable future of Social Security and other government programs, such as Medicare, facing serious cuts. But what is the best way to go about it?</p>
<p>A good start is to seek diversification in different investments, as this can prepare you for a variety of scenarios when you retire. For example, investing in both a 401K and a <a href="http://www.moneycrashers.com/what-is-a-roth-ira-benefits-restrictions/">Roth IRA</a> provides some protection against an unknown future tax environment. But within those accounts, what investments should you hold?</p>
<p>This is a tricky topic, especially as the economy continues to struggle. However, the fact remains that investing for growth is essential, especially if you are many years away from retiring. One promising option is to invest in international funds.</p>
<h2>Benefits of International Investing</h2>
<p><strong>1. High Yield</strong><br />
Many international funds pay higher dividends than U.S. domestics. For example, the average <a href="http://www.moneycrashers.com/blue-chip-stocks-pay-high-yield-dividends/">dividend yield for blue-chip stocks</a> in Europe and Asia is right around 3%, which is well above the current 2% yield on the S&amp;P 500. There are also multiple high-yield international ETFs generating more than 10%.</p>
<p><strong>2. Diversification</strong><br />
International investing is roughly broken down into 2 categories: developed markets and emerging markets. Developed markets generally carry less risk than emerging, though emerging markets may offer more opportunity for growth.</p>
<p>You can invest in stocks and bonds in either category in a range of sectors and countries. Moreover, international markets do not always move in tandem with U.S. markets. In other words, when your domestic funds are down, your international holdings could be up. This provides yet a further layer of diversification to portfolios that incorporate both U.S. and international funds.</p>
<p><strong>3. A Weak Dollar</strong><br />
The dollar didn&#8217;t just weaken recently &#8211; it has under-performd for years now. If the trend continues, gains you take overseas will have more buying power domestically. That said, there are plenty of foreign countries experiencing their own financial woes these days. So do your homework to find countries with a strong currency now and the economics to keep it that way.</p>
<p><strong>4. Growing Market Competition</strong><br />
The trend towards globalization means that the rest of the world is gaining an edge over the U.S. in various industries. For example, a cheaper labor force can allow U.S. competitors room to grow, especially when products or services are exported worldwide. As evidenced by plenty of domestic corporations expanding their overseas presence, it&#8217;s becoming harder for companies operating solely out of the United States to remain competitive.</p>
<h2>Drawbacks to International Investing</h2>
<p>Though the benefits are compelling, keep in mind that investing internationally comes with risks typically not associated with domestic funds.</p>
<p><strong>1. Currency Risk</strong><br />
Fluctuations in local and foreign currencies can also work against you. If the dollar rises and foreign currencies decline, your international gains will suffer proportionately when converted to U.S. currency.</p>
<p><strong>2. Foreign Unrest and Regulations</strong><br />
Your overseas investments can also be vulnerable to volatile politics and foreign economies. For example, a new regime could undo generous business legislation that the previous regime enacted, which could have a detrimental effect on your investments. Generally, less stable countries and economies will be more susceptible to market fluctuations as a result of political and social uprisings.</p>
<p><strong>3. Lack of Familiarity and Information</strong><br />
If you decide to invest internationally, you will likely be unfamiliar with the companies in which you&#8217;re invested &#8211; especially since funds invest in multiple companies. This lack of information limits your ability to make fully informed decisions regarding those companies&#8217; prospects. Moreover, corporate financial statements may be more susceptible to &#8220;loose&#8221; accounting, particularly in countries without established and independent oversight committees.</p>
<p><strong>4. Higher Expense Ratios</strong><br />
The expense ratios on international ETFs are relatively high compared to their domestic counterparts. Expenses including the expense ratio and any sales charges should always be considered before investing, as these seriously deteriorate gains during the years you&#8217;ll be invested.</p>
<h2>Final Thoughts</h2>
<p>Opportunity awaits internationally. Globalization is real and this is no longer the same world our parents invested in. That said, plenty of risk still exists as well, which is why it&#8217;s wise to allocate only a percentage of your portfolio to international funds. That percentage will depend heavily on what you&#8217;re investing for, the length of time you plan to invest, and your <a href="http://www.moneycrashers.com/investment-risk-tolerance-asset-allocation-risk-averse-investor/">tolerance for investment risk</a>.</p>
<p>If you have many years until retirement, you can better withstand the risk of investing in an emerging markets fund than someone just entering retirement. Plus, you&#8217;ll probably need the aggressive growth factor. International funds may also provide some protection against an ailing domestic economy.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts on investing in international funds?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve mastered the art of frugality and now you feel ready to incorporate some earth friendly habits into your money saving routine. A great place to start is in your kitchen. Check out these 8 great tips to making your kitchen greener &#8211; in order from easiest to most difficult to implement (based on cost and my own personal experience). </p>
<p><b><font size="3">1. Say No to Bottled Water</font>.</b> You can easily spend thousands of dollars a year on bottled water &#8211; a habit that is not frugal OR green by any standard. If you are concerned about the water quality in your area, buy a filter for your kitchen faucet. For water to-go, get an earth friendly metal water bottle that you can refill and carry with you everywhere. Your wallet and the earth will thank you for it. By the way, did you know Dasani and Aquafina are just purified tap water? Need some more convincing? Watch <a href="http://storyofstuff.org/bottledwater/" class="broken_link">The Story of Bottled Water</a>.</p>
<p><b><font size="3">2. Buy or Make Your Own Reusable Bags.</font></b> Most stores give you a credit towards your shopping bill for every reusable bag you bring in. Not a huge savings but it&#8217;s something! Many stores in Europe charge you for each plastic bag the store provides you, so consider yourself lucky. Make sure you keep some bags in your car for those last minute shopping runs. And really think about whether each piece of produce you buy needs its own separate plastic bag. Do you have a crafty side? Check out these <a href="http://tipnut.com/35-reusable-grocery-bags-totes-free-patterns/">super cute ways to make your own reusable bags</a>.</p>
<p><b><font size="3">3. Use Glass For Your Leftovers and Lunches.</font> </b>Rather than using plastic wrap or buying the plastic containers with the blue snap-on lids for your leftovers and bag lunches, consider using glass containers. Plastic containers are not only bad for the environment, but they also tend to easily wear out, crack or stain. Not to mention the fact that you don&#8217;t want to be microwaving food in plastic containers due to the potential for chemicals to leach into your food. Although you may end up spending a little more up front, you will end up saving money in the long run. Glass food containers come up in all shapes and sizes &#8211; <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Storage-Organization-Housewares/b/ref=amb_link_244469822_13?ie=UTF8&amp;node=510136&amp;keywords=Storage%20Container&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-5&amp;pf_rd_r=197FZKEWHHQKJXNW5HCA&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=1287287782&amp;pf_rd_i=3610841#/r">do your research</a> and try to find a good deal.</p>
<p><b><font size="3">4. Recycle.</font></b> No big surprise that recycling is on this list. As far as the money saving side to recycling, you will have to get a little creative. Some states require you to pay a deposit to the grocery store when you purchase bottles or cans. In order to get that deposit returned, you have to recycle. Bottles and cans not worth your time? Some companies will pay you to recycle your old electronics, cell phones, ink cartridges, cardboard boxes and even golf balls. <a href="http://www.wisebread.com/make-money-recycling">Check it out!</a></p>
<p><b><font size="3">5. Unplug Your Appliances.</font> </b>Did you know certain appliances continue to use electricity even when they are turned off? Some estimates claim that up to 10% of the average home electricity bill comes from these &#8216;energy vampires&#8217;. Consider unplugging your coffee maker, bread machine or microwave at night (or any electronics outside of the kitchen). Not sure which appliances use the most energy when turned off? Invest in a Kill A Watt electricity usage monitor. Or get <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-11128_3-20090251-54/plotwatt-web-app-spots-home-energy-hogs/">PlotWatt</a> to read and assess your energy consumption. Flipping the switch could add up to significant savings.</p>
<p><b><font size="3">6. Make Your Own Cleaning Supplies.</font> </b>If you are feeling uber-motivated after reading the first five tips on this list, it might be time to consider making your own cleaning supplies. Using natural ingredients will prevent the use of products with dangerous chemicals and nasty fumes in your home. Plus in most cases, mixing up your own batch will be cheaper than buying store products. <a href="http://frugallygreen.org/how-to-make-green-cleaning-supplies/">Check out these recipes</a> for creating a multipurpose cleaner, glass cleaner and oven cleaner.</p>
<p><b><font size="3">7. Plant A Garden.</font></b> If you are willing to put in some time and effort, a home garden is one of the best ways to combine being green with your frugality goals. If you don&#8217;t have much space, consider a container garden full of herbs or a hanging garden to plant tomatoes and strawberries. Not sure which fruits and vegetables will give you the best bang for your buck? <a href="http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/SaveMoney/5FoodsItsCheaperToGrow.aspx">Check out this article</a> on 5 foods it&#8217;s cheaper to grow.</p>
<p><b><font size="3">8. Update Your Fridge.</font> </b>Replacing your olive green refrigerator from the &#8217;70s with an Energy Star appliance will significantly cut the cost of your electricity bill. Although this will end up being a significant investment up front, the savings on the back end should make it worth your while.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have recently joined the <a href="http://yakezie.com/">Yakezie network</a> as a challenger and I can see in existing network there is a way to measure how you are doing and that is by way of two things which are the Belt way and the second is the Alexa Rank. You start as a white belt and then move up to the Black belt based certain set of criteria</p>
<p>The Alexa rank is a yardstick to gain entry into the Yakezie network. However there is one thing which is the Authority status in the eyes of Google. The benefit is that once you have the Google Authority then whatever you post has the chance to come up in SERPS really fast and that helps in turn to make more money and get more search engine traffic.</p>
<p>Here is how to check that you are an <strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Authority Blog in the eyes of Google</span></strong>.</p>
<p>Type in your website or blog name in the search bar and see what comes up. If are an authority blog in the eyes of Google then this will come up.  <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">It will have eight separate listings under the URL</span></strong>.</p>
<p>I did this for Ehow.com and this came up. See below for complete listing.</p>
<p><a href="http://stockmarketbasics.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Ehow.jpg"><img style="display: inline; border: 0px;" title="Ehow" src="http://stockmarketbasics.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Ehow_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Ehow" width="456" height="269" /></a></p>
<p>By the way ehow.com has an Alexa Rank of 1. Wow !</p>
<p>Also I did the same for all the Yakezie member blogs and here is the list with those who are authority and who are not.</p>
<h3>Here is one for <a href="http://financialsamurai.com/">Financial Samurai</a> .</h3>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Notice the eight sub listings under the main listing and this tells you that the blog is a GOOGLE Authority. </span></span></strong></h3>
<p><a href="http://stockmarketbasics.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/FinSamurai.jpg"><img style="display: inline; border: 0px;" title="Fin Samurai" src="http://stockmarketbasics.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/FinSamurai_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="Fin Samurai" width="475" height="295" /></a></p>
<p>Let us see what comes up for me.  I am not an authority blog in the eyes of Google.</p>
<p><a href="http://stockmarketbasics.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/MEAuthority.jpg"><img style="display: inline; border: 0px;" title="ME Authority" src="http://stockmarketbasics.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/MEAuthority_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="ME Authority" width="504" height="289" /></a></p>
