One major importance while investing (including professionals) is cutting your losses early and before your in the whole complete. One problem can be not spending enough time to research and critically thinking through investments risks. To many times I see people spending all kinds of time of planning for the winning stock thats going to hit a grand slam for them. But they don't even think once about how or what percentage do we sell and take our losses or winnings.
The Factors that Really Drive Investors
People really are inconsistent in the thinking of investment risks. People think this is just a given with all the information out there...and you just have to find the low investment risks and find the highest return. Though, our studies show us something completely different.
Though, it's the way you view and look at things is a major key in this investing ideas of cutting your losses early. You must really start thinking about or driven by is it actually investing risk? Though, through our finding we have came to understand it's actually the loss. So now, your asking well what's the difference? Great questions and let us answer this question.
Here is an good example, you have to investment choices:
* Scenerio one: 80% potential of winning $4,000 versus a 20% potential of earning nothing
* Scenerio two: 100% potential of receiving $3,000.
Now to many this is a no brainer right of what you would choose? While the scenerio one is pontentially the better investment (with a pontential "expectation" of $3,200), 80% of people choose the scenerio two the 100% money. This means, they aren't willing to risk a small investment profit for a potentially bigger one.
Now let's look at the investment scenerios from a loss perspective, with the same scenerios:
* 80% pontential of losing $4,000 versus a 20% chance of breaking even, or
* 100% pontential of losing $3,000.
Now look at this closely, believe or not over 92% of people choose the first scenerio. They are willing to take this investment. This means, that 92% of the people will do just about anything to avoid an investment loss. When the investments involve losing money, 92% of us are risk-seekers, not risk reluctant.
Now we hope we have opened some eyes with this little example and investment scenerio. Also we hope to show you that a lot of us are not as consistent in our thinking in considering investment risks. And this kind of thinking can really come back to hurt you in your investments.
Investing lossess cut early...remember a major key or the golden rule
A major key or golden rule on investing is to "cut your losses early, short, and let your winners ride." Almost every successful investor in the world has his discipline and sticks by this rule - however, please not as well there are very few successful investors who regularly beat the markets. For the rest of us average joes (about 99% of investors) following this major key or golden rule seems too difficult. Look at what Peter Bernstein says in Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk, "It is not so much that people hate uncertainty - but rather, they hate losing... A loss taken is an acknowledgement of error." That says it better then we could.
It's major key or golden rule is not just for the stock market. It's in all of life. Check out this example of investment risk, from Peter Bernstein...
* "Imagine that a rare disease is breaking out and is expected to kill 600 people. Two different programs are available to deal with the threat. If Program A is adopted, 200 people will be saved. If Program B is adopted there is a 33% probability that everyone will be saved and a 67% probability that no one will be saved.
* "Which program would you choose? If most of us are risk-averse, rational people will prefer Plan A's certainty of saving 200 lives over Plan B's gamble, which has the same mathematical expectancy but involves taking the risk of a 67% chance that everyone will die. [When given the choice], 72% of people chose the risk-averse response represented by Program A."
* "Now consider the identical problem posed differently. If Program C is adopted, 400 of the 600 people will die, while Program D entails a 33% probability that no one will die and a 67% probability that 600 people will die. Note that the first of the two choices is now expressed as 400 deaths rather than 200 survivors, while the second program offers a 33% chance that no one will die. ...78% of people quizzed were risk seekers and opted for the gamble: they could not tolerate the prospect of the sure loss of 400 lives."
Why Avoiding Hugh Investment Losses Is Key to Your Strategy
We, as investors, have to understand that we are not always going to know it all. What we are going to lose or gain. We need to be in the position whereby we are avoiding investment losses as much as possible. However, first, if we are to succeed in investing and stock market, we must learn to take cut our investment losses early. And this is because a small loss can't be allowed to become a BIG loss.
Smart investors come to understand the need to go against what most of the time feels natural. And that means learning to cut investment losses early, and learning to let winners ride. Put simply, the way you make money is to combine a few small losses with big winners.
In order to win the war on the street, you've got to learn to cut your losses. You need to man up and admit you're wrong.. That means recognizing the potential nature of human instinct and cut investment losses. And it means cutting your investment losses early before they can become big losses. It's never to late to start good discipline, especially in the investing!
Happy Holiday Investing!!

Tis the Season to be shopping!
After a crazy jammed backed weekend of shopping, discounts, giveaways, toys, and so much more! Tis the season, and it's time for all the shoppers to be clicking onto their computers for the later part of finishing up shopping.
It seems to be more competive as ever online this year while more and more companies offering free shipping, more discounts, other great offers this christmas gift giving season.
The tread of shopping online on the Monday after Thanksgiving is growing so big and calling it "Cyber Monday" by many National Retail Federation. Retailers like Circuit City Stores Inc. are stepping up to the plate on "Cyber Monday" by offered special one-day coupons. While, Walmart.com began the fight on Monday offering a five-day special on such online-only items as big as some flat-screen TVs.
To even throw more joy into the season and Cyber Monday, the National Retail Fed. launched a website called CyberMonday.com, where the idea is to pull all the online discounts targeting the cyber monday and through the holiday season from nearly 400 retailers. And the early reports are showing that all the christmas incentives seem to be working.
Meany retailers are already reporting as high as 60 percent increase in website traffic and an 80 percent increase in online sales through noon Monday.
Though the first Monday after Thanksgiving starts the Christmas shopping online season, its reported it will not be the busiest day for retailers. Internet research firm comScore Networks Inc. is predicting the days to come and specificially either Dec. 11 or Dec. 12, making Cyber Monday either the ninth or tenth busiest online shopping day. Last year, the first Monday after Thanksgiving was the ninth busiest day.
Still, Cyber Monday is marking the Christmas shopping season for many merchants for this Holiday season.
As for online holiday sales growth, JupiterResearch forecasts an 18 percent increase for online sales to $32 billion. That is slightly below the 23 percent pace in the previous year.
Analysts are carefully monitoring the rivalry between online-only stores and brick and mortar stores, which are overtaking the lead in the online market share wars. According to comScore, from 2003 to 2005, sales growth for brick and mortar stores' online divisions grew twice the rate of that of online-only merchants.
Stores that operate both e-commerce sites and physical stores are realizing they can "use the Internet to not only sell product but also drive traffic to their stores, " said Gian Fulgoni, chairman of comScore Networks.
Consumer electronics retailer Circuit City offered special coupons just for Monday, including additional savings of $100 on TV purchases of $1,700 and up, as well as an additional $50 savings on home audio systems purchases of $400 and up.
Throughout the holiday season, Circuit City is giving $24 gift cards to customers if their online order is not ready for pick up at the stores in 24 minutes.
Walmart.com, which redesigned its Web site earlier in November, unveiled Monday 50 online only specials offers, from cashere scarves to flat-panel plasma TVs, that will be available through Dec. 1. Carter Cast, CEO of walmart.com, said it will be replacing sold-out items with new offers this week.
Among the most popular items Monday on walmart.com were $289 GPS units by Garmin and 3 megapixel digital cameras by Philips.
The pure online players are fighting back with free shipping and other deals.
Online retailer Amazon.com pushed shoppers to get started early by holding an ongoing poll to select one steeply discounted gift item to be offered in limited supplies beginning on Thanksgiving day, on top of other deals.
Online jewelry retailer Bluenile.com is offering for the first time free overnight shipping to its best customers, a program that will run through Valentine's Day. It also sent out e-mails Monday offering 10 percent discounts to customers through Dec. 7.
Online closeout retailer Overstock.com for the first time offered free shipping offers, which started Thanksgiving Day and ends Tuesday, according to Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com.

Google (goog) is pumped up over $500
Google Inc.'s (goog) stock price surpassed $500 for the first time Tuesday, marking another milestone in a rapid rise that has catapulted the Internet search leader into the corporate elite.
The GOOG stock symbol just keeps driving it's way up the market! It's even now reaching the 507 mark just minutes ago in trading.
Google is now valued at right around $154 billion just eight years after former Stanford University graduate students Larry Page and Sergey Brin started the business in a Silicon Valley garage.
The Mountain View-based company is now Silicon Valley's most valuable business, eclipsing the likes of Intel Corp., the world's largest computer chip maker, and Hewlett-Packard Co., a high-tech pioneer that also famously started in a garage 67 years ago.
Google's remarkable success has minted Page and Brin, both 33, as multibillionaires along with their hand-picked chief executive, Eric Schmidt.
Hundreds of other Google employees are millionaires because so many investors want to own a piece of a company that has become the Internet's most powerful financial force while building a brand so ingrained in society that it has become part of the English language.
It took slightly more than a year for Google's shares to travel from $400 to $500 -- the stock's longest journey from one major milestone to the next since the company priced its initial public offering at $85 in August 2004.
The shares topped $100 on their first day of trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, then crossed $200 in less than three months. The stock broke through $300 another seven months later in June 2005 and then breached $400 on Nov. 17 last year.
The latest spurt of optimism appeared to reflect a belief that Google will quickly introduce ways to mine more online advertising revenue from its just-completed $1.65 billion acquisition of YouTube Inc. Google used its stock to finance the deal.
Google currently has made most of its money selling brief, written ads that are posted alongside search results and other online content, but management believes it can mine even bigger profits by expanding into video and delivering more messages to mobile computing devices.
Management also wants to extend Google's advertising clout beyond the Web. The company is currently testing a program to place ads in 50 of the nation's largest newspapers and hopes to begin distributing radio ads by the end of this year.
Those grand ambitions are one of the reasons that Google shares keep climbing. The run-up makes Google's stock look fairly expensive by one widely used barometer known as the price-to-earnings, or p/e, multiple.
Analysts, on average, predict Google will earn $13.70 per share next year, leaving the company's p/e at about 37. By comparison, the p/e of Microsoft Corp. -- the world's most prized technology company with a market value of nearly $300 billion -- is about 21, based on analyst's 2007 earnings projections.
Google's relatively high p/e hasn't fazed several analysts who have already predicted the company's stock price will hit $600 within the next year.
Betting against Google has proven to be foolish so far. In the months leading to Google's IPO, widespread skepticism about the company's growth prospects prompted management to discount its desired price, enriching investors who were able to buy at $85. And just eight months ago, Google shares dropped as low as $331.55 amid fears that the company's earnings growth might be on the verge of a dramatic slowdown.
Anyone waiting for a stock split before investing in Google risks being left on the sidelines. Although most publicly held companies regularly split their stock to create a lower per-share price that appeals to more Main Street investors, the proudly unconventional Page and Brin have repeatedly indicated they have no intention of resorting to that maneuver.

Ex Dividend Date answer, Stock Dividend Question
When a company decides to pay out in what is called a dividend, it sets a date for the record of when you must be on the company's books as a shareholder to receive the dividend. This date is also used for the company to determine who is sent the company information such as financial reports, sent proxy statements, and other information.
Once the company sets the record date, the stock exchanges or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. fix the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is normally set for stocks two business days before the record date. If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend.

Almost Family, Inc. (AFAM)
Almost Family, Inc. (AFAM)
Almost Family, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide home health nursing services. It operates through two segments Visiting Nurse and Personal Care. The Visiting Nurse segment provides medical services in patients' homes. The Personal Care segment provides personal care services in patients' homes. The company has service locations in Kentucky, Florida, Maryland, Ohio, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Alabama, and Indiana. Almost Family was formerly known as Caretenders HealthCorp and changed its name to Almost Family, Inc. in 2000. The company was incorporated in 1985 and is based in Louisville, Kentucky.
The few things I like about this one is the low P/E, and honestly, it's has the lowest out of all it's direct competitors. Through on top of that it has a Qtrly Rev Growth (yoy) of 13.80% and still going!
The only thing that we can not figure out is that. Someone is behind all this, because for all the numbers and key stats. I mean it's a great story, good solid numbers, but is just stuck. We just can not understand why this one has not taken off yet. Though, we feel that it could somewhere down the road. AFAM might be one to watch!

Value of Time - this will help you value life, time, friends, family and etc! What's it really worth to you?
Value of Time - this will help you value not stocks or money but may it help you think about life, time, friends, family and etc! What's it really worth to you?
Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use
during the day.
What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course!
Each of us has such a bank. Its name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed
to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance.
It allows no overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for you.
Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.
There is no going back. There is no drawing against the "tomorrow".
You must live in the present on today's deposits.
Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today.
To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a
pre-mature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE DAY, ask a daily wage laborer with kids to feed.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLI-SECOND, ask the person who won a
silver medal in the Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you
shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time.
And remember that time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present!
