Stock exchange, agriculture, real estate to be taxed: Tareen

SLAMABAD: The stock exchange, and the agriculture and real estate sectors will be brought under the tax net within the next three years, Finance Adviser Shaukat Tareen said on Wednesday. Talking at a reception by the Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the finance adviser said the manufacturing sector was overburdened with taxes, therefore the tax net had to be expanded to bridge the revenue-expenditure gap in the future.He said electricity tariff for industrial and commercial consumers would facilitate the sectors, assuring the industrialists that the government would try to equitably burden various segments of the society to meet the revenue requirements for national development.Tareen said the government was collecting a higher Petroleum Development Levy (PDL) on petroleum oil and lubricant (POL) products to bridge the revenue shortfall, which had occurred due to a slowing down in the manufacturing sector and in dutiable imports.The finance adviser said currently the government’s major expenditures related to defence, debt servicing and development. The government would place all the facts before a judicial commission formed by the Supreme Court to analyse POL prices, Tareen said. He said a reduction in inflation was the government’s prime target.

U.S. GDP Weakest in 26 Years, Jobless Rolls at Record Highs

The smaller than expected downward revision to fourth quarter GDP growth led to a short lived rally in the U.S. dollar. Despite the doom and gloom outlook by some economists and the pessimistic feel on Main Street, recent economic data has not been as weak as everyone expected. Contrary to the overly pessimistic call by economists, GDP growth was revised from -6.2 percent to -6.3 percent in the fourth quarter, far less than the -6.6 percent forecast. GDP growth was still the weakest in 26 years as profits plunged 16.5 percent, the largest decline in 55 years.

Currency traders shrugged off the underlying weakness because the GDP report is backward looking. The smaller revision provides relief but investors are still cautious about believing in a recovery. The unemployment rolls continued to grow with continuing claims hitting 5.56 million, another record high. Weekly jobless claims have increased once again from 644k to 652k last week. Despite the recent improvements in economic data, there is no question that the problems in the labor market are increasing and growing unemployment will stifle any chance of recovery.

Software

When it comes to forex trading the forex software you choose is essential. There are so many forex trading companies all competing for your business that choosing the right forex software can be quite a difficult task. Most of the forex software products available offers live online forex trading platforms but what other components are vital when it comes to your forex software.

Forex Money Management

Money management is a critical point that shows difference between winners and losers. It was proved that if 100 traders start trading using a system with 60% winning odds, only 5 traders will be in profit at the end of the year. In spite of the 60% winning odds 95% of traders will lose because of their poor money management. Money management is the most significant part of any trading system. Most of traders don't understand how important it is.

UPDATE 1-Six Flags delisted from New York Stock Exchange

NEW YORK, April 9 (Reuters) - Six Flags Inc said on Thursday that its common stock and preferred income equity redeemable shares were suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange for failing to meet listing criteria.
The New York-based company's shares have been suspended from trading on the exchange effective at the market opening on April 20.
The company, which recently warned it could buckle under its $2.4 billion debt load, said the development would have no impact on its park operations or vendor relationships. [ID:nN08469338]
In a recent securities filing, Six Flags said it may have to resort to Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection if talks with creditors stall. Six Flags said it hired financial and legal advisors to assist with its restructuring.
Concerns over the company's debt load, accrued during its efforts to expand globally and build new rides, have pummeled Six Flags shares in recent years. In 1999, the shares traded as high as $41.62, but the stock has been in a freefall since.
Since September the company's shares have not been able to crack through the $1.00 level. (Reporting by Deepa Seetharaman; Editing Bernard Orr)

Stock News

tock Exchange, organized market for buying and selling financial instruments known as securities, which include stocks, bonds, options, and futures. Most stock exchanges have specific locations where the trades are completed. For the stock of a company to be traded at these exchanges, it must be listed, and to be listed, the company must satisfy certain requirements. But not all stocks are bought and sold at a specific site. Such stocks are referred to as unlisted. Many of these stocks are traded over the counter—that is, by telephone or by computer.
Major stock exchanges in the United States include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), both in New York City. Far more corporations list their stock on the NYSE than on the AMEX, however. Nine smaller regional stock exchanges operate in Boston, Massachusetts; Cincinnati, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; Miami, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Francisco, California; and Spokane, Washington. In addition, most of the world’s industrialized nations have stock exchanges. Among the larger international exchanges are those in London, England; Paris, France; Milan, Italy; Hong Kong, China; Toronto, Canada; and Tokyo, Japan. These stock exchanges all have a central location for trading. The major over-the-counter market in the United States is the Nasdaq Stock Market (formerly, the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation [NASDAQ] system). The European Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system (EASDAQ) is the major over-the-counter market for the European Union (EU).

Importance of Stock Exchange

Stock exchanges perform important roles in national economies. Most importantly, they encourage investment by providing places for buyers and sellers to trade securities. This investment, in turn, enables corporations to obtain funds to expand their businesses.

Forex Market Session

Forex market is a totally different beast as compared to the stock market. Stock market is open only for a fixed times usually from morning to the evening. After that it closes and trading stops. But forex markets never close. They are open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week except on weekends.
Continuous 24 hour action at the forex markets baffles many new traders. Forex markets have no central exchange. It is an Over the Counter (OTC) market that is spread over various locations in the world.
As there is no open and close of the forex market, many new traders get confused and dont know when the best time when major price action takes place is? So they sit in front of the computer all the time and in the end simply exhaust themselves losing their stamina. A clever way is to divide the 24 hour day into three 8 hour sessions.
Again divide each 8 hour session in 4 hours by using 4 hour charts. As you will read this article, I will explain how this division is logical and can help you understand the forex markets. Forex markets are basically controlled by three money centers and these three sessions will help you identify the risk appetite and the price action for each.
The three major money centers that affect the forex markets everyday are namely: Asia, London and New York. We will call our three trading sessions, the Asian, the London and the New York Session.
Asian FX Market Session: Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore are the main centers that constitute the Asian Session. Export corporations and Central Banks of these countries are trying to hedge their currency fluctuations. Due to this price action is jumpy, fades away and is not sustainable.
London Market Session: London is the center of the global forex markets. The price action that takes place during this session forms the trend in the rest of the day trading. London forex markets are deep and highly developed. London market is also assisted by Paris, Geneva and Frankfurt. Since lot of money is needed to move this market, these moves give a lot of information for the traders.
New York FX Market Session: New York is second biggest FX market after London. Both of these markets overlap in the morning when New York is opening and London is closing. This is the time for major action.
The following table gives important times of the day that any forex trader needs to know: 00:00 GMT-Sydney Opens. 11:00 GMT-London opens. 15:00 GMT- London becomes very active. 17:00 GMT- London is active and New York opens. 18:00 GMT- London and Europe closes. 19:00 GMT- New York and Chicago getting ready for a close!
This overlap between London and New York is the time when major price action takes place. There is lot of volatility in the market and you can make many pips. London is the trend setter in both forex and fashion.

Fighting the Market

When fighting the trend and insisting that the market is due to reverse itself is a sure sign that a trader will not be in the market very long. If a trader tries to catch short-term countermoves trying to make a few pips or always looking for the tops and bottoms hoping to catch the big one he is always trading against the long-term trend and against the odds.
When the market has been trending for a while and a trader has been going with the trend then the market stops for a while and looks like it will make a quick retracement. The trader jumps in for a few quick pips and get right back out again only to find that the market did not give the quick pips and continued on with the trend. Not having set a stop loss he is now looking for the next bounce to minimize the loss to only end up losing even more. The risk reward ratio is not good either. With a Large stop loss if there is a stop loss at all and only a small profit target. At times like these it is better to stick with the trend. More money will be made, less stress will be involved and the trader’s focus and connection with the market can more easily be maintains.
A trader that is going to practice countertrend trading will have to be quick and willing to take many small losses. In the long run it is better to wait out the countertrend rather than trying to make some extra pips on it.

Trading Opening Range Breakouts

In yesterday's post I discussed why the average daily range is so important when day trading the major currency pairs. Well today I thought I would discuss how you can use this information to help you trade opening / overnight range breakouts

volume

A Forex trader could trade more transaction compared to the futures market (the trading volume could be a times larger), and the risk will be strictly under control. The trading volume of the Forex market is 46 times larger compared to the futures market, moreover Forex traders could make more profit from the Forex market due to the larger trading volume (the transaction volume is a few times larger), the REFCO Switzerland rich transaction platform allowed transaction between 1-100 times to be carry on, moreover a Forex trader could decide his or her own transaction amount, for example: Your account has $30,000, the basic transaction unit is each $1,000 (which transaction amount in $1.00, million), namely, so the proportion of the margin of each transaction unit is 100:1.

Home Business

The more you understand about any subject, the more interesting it becomes. As you read this article you’ll find that the subject of forex home business is certainly no exception.
When running a forex home business, a person quickly gains knowledge of how the business world works. Whether it be selling crafts, doing a home delivery business, or selling real-estate, after investing a lot of time and effort into a home or small business, a person quickly becomes aware of the few basic business truths that govern business.
One of those truths is that you have to have time and money to start a small business or any business for that matter. More often than not, the people that have the time dont have the money to invest in a home-based business and the people that have the money dont have the time. With Forex home business, it is quite possible to generate an income with a small time investment per day, after studying FOREX for a few months, and a very small investment as little as $50 in some cases.
The second truth, and these are probably quite obvious to most people, is that in order to make money a business has to have some sort of product to sell or perform some type of service. In the FOREX world, nothing is being sold and no service is being performed, but rather money is being exchanged. You are making a profit based on the actual exchange value of one currency against another currency. This eliminates the need for employees, such as customer service personnel and human resource people if your company were to become that big.
Also, because of the huge size of the FOREX market, trading nearly $1.5 trillion dollars a day, such things as social events, bad publicity, and changes in political climate will have no effect on your business. In fact, after studying FOREX, you will be able to see how these things will actually benefit your FOREX home business.

Forex Reserved

By some measures, Saudi Arabia’s reserves are the fastest growing in the world. The country’s reserves recently crossed the $250 Billion threshold, and are now growing at a pace equivalent to nearly 40% per year. The source of the reserves should be a mystery to no one: oil. Oil prices have surged over the last five years, bestowing a windfall of profits to the entire Middle East region. Plus, as summer gets underway, oil prices are sure to climb further, which will ensure continued growth in Saudi forex reserves. Fortunately for the US, the majority of the world’s oil contracts are settled in USD, which means the boom in oil prices has actually stabilized the USD, despite its contribution to the US trade deficit. In addition, Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s most reliable investors in US capital markets, which means Dollar bulls can breathe a cautious sigh of relief that reserve “diversification” will probably be given short shrift by the Sauds.

got or loss

Did you know that you can find a market that is open 24 hours a day? The market is called Forex market and if you go there, you can’t find services, commodities and goods. The Forex market is the place where different kinds of currencies are traded. In every trade, two currencies are involved. For instance, you can sell your Canadian dollars for Euros; or you can pay Japanese Yen for US dollars. Forex rates or exchange rates can change unexpectedly. You need to monitor these exchange rates in order to determine if the price of a certain currency increased or decreased.
Changes in the Forex market usually occur quickly and so it is important for traders to keep track of the market. Political and economic events can influence the changes in the Forex market. If you want to determine whether you’re gaining or losing in Forex trading, this article can help you with the calculations.
The Forex investment is greatly affected by the exchange rate and in order to understand the relationship between the two, you should also be familiar with Forex quotes. Like the currency pairs, Forex quotes can be found in pairs as well. Here is a very good example:
1.Suppose the currency pair is USD (US dollar) and CAD (Canadian dollar)
The Forex quote for this pair is USD/CAD=170.50; this is interpreted as ‘every one US dollar is equivalent to 170.50 CAD. The currency found at the left side is known as the base currency and it is always equivalent to 1. The currency found at the right side is called counter currency. The stronger currency is always the base currency and in this case, the USD. The Forex quote’s central currency is USD and so you can find it in most Forex quotes.
How can you determine if you’re earning profits or not? You can use another example.
2.This time use EUR to USD. Assuming that the Forex rate is 1.0857; in this example, the USD is the weaker currency. If you bought 1,000 Euros, you will need to pay $1,085.70. After a year, the Forex rate was at 1.2083 and this means that the Euro’s value increased. If you decide to sell the 1,000 Euros now, you will get $1,208.30; now, in this transaction, you gained $122.60. What if the Forex rate a year after was 1.0576? This means that the Euro’s value weakened. If you still decide to sell the 1,000 Euros, you will only receive $1,057.60 which means that you lost $28.10; did you get it?
Forex trading involves a lot of risks just like mutual funds and stocks. The fluctuations in the exchange market are responsible for such risks. Low level risks like government bonds in the long-term can give returns but are quite low. If you want to get higher returns, you need to invest in Forex trading but you need to face higher level risks.
You must set financial goals for the short term, as well as for the long term. By doing so, it will be much easier to balance the risks involved and the security. You will be able to conduct your trades with ease and comfort. Make use of all the available Forex trading tools so that you can make wise and profitable trades. After reading this articl

Gold Maker

Turkey has been an important regional gold market for many years; during the 1990s domestic jewellery fabrication averaged 125 tonnes (4.02 million oz). In addition, Turkey has been a key source of bullion for several neighbours countries. Turkish bullion imports, which normally exceed 100 tonnes (3.2 million oz) on an annual basis, came to 107 tonnes in 1999 but then rose significantly in 2000 to 205 tonnes (6.6 million oz). However, the following year bullion imports fell sharply. According to GFMS, this was partly due to the sharp devaluation of the Turkish currency and the associated economic and banking crises which affected the country. On a separate note, Turkey's position in the international market was enhanced by the full liberalisation of the local gold market in 1998 and the opening of the Istanbul Gold Exchange on 26 July 1995.
