    Working from Home: Scam or Dream Come True
    “Home-based business.” The name itself either leaves you with a squeamish feeling that has its roots in words like shyster, huckster and con or it has you thinking you may have found the answer to financial difficulties you may be facing.Many home-based job opportunities are simple investment opportunities. The primary difference is a job isn’t really a job unless you are paid. Most home-based ‘jobs’

    As in all trading situations that offer a higher potential
    reward, there comes a higher potential risk. If the stock stays
    at $28.50, (the stagnant scenario) you have a loss of $.65 in
    option costs. In the down “scenario,” calculating the maximum
    risk is done by setting the stock price at $27.50 on expiration.

    The stock, purchased at $28.50 has lost $1.00. The options, not
    neutral, resulted in a $.65 loss. The total loss is $1.65. In
    both the “stagnant” and “down” scenarios, the loss increased

    Job Layoff: Defusing The Anger
    Along with the fear and internal humiliation of losing your job, there is always a degree of anger: anger at fate for dealing you a lousy hand; anger at a company that took your long hours and hard work and threw them away without a second thought; anger at coworkers who played the political game more deftly and kept their positions when yours was eliminated.Some of us are so angry that we get stuck
    Like other strategies, the collar can be leaned toward the
    investor's perception of the stock's direction and strength.

    Let’s look at the potential leans that can be taken. Say that
    you have a very strong feeling the XYZ is going to go up.
    Instead of buying a put and selling a call with strikes that are
    roughly equidistant from the stock price, you would sell a call
    that is further out-of-the-money.

    This would allow more room for a larger increase in stock price
    because the stock would not be called away as early. You retain
    ownership for a longer period of time during the increasing
    price period.

    Of course, by increasing the distance of the option’s strike
    away from the stock, the amount of the call's premium will
    decrease. The overall effect is that you’ll have to pay more to
    own the position. (You will pay out more money for the put than
    you will receive from the call.)

    Again, we'll start with the same prices as in our original case,
    (stock $28.00, Dec. 27.5 put $1.00 and Dec. 30 call $1.00) only
    now we will change the Dec. 30 call at $1.00 to the Dec. 32.5
    call at $ .35.

    In our other examples, we incurred no debit or credit from our
    option position. This time, with the bullish lean, a debit is
    incurred. The purchase of the Dec. 27.5 put for $1.00 combined
    with the receipt of $ .35 from the sale of the Dec. 32.5 call
    produces a $ .65 debit.

    Remember, this debit must be subtracted from the bottom line
    profit or added to the bottom line loss of the stock's capital
    result. This means that before you make any money from the
    position, the stock must trade up $ .65.

    If the stock stays stagnant you will lose $ .65, and any capital
    loss you incur will be $ .65 worse. Now back to the position in
    our previous example. With the selling of the Dec. 30 call, we
    had an upside potential of $1.50. In this example things change.

    As was stated, our maximum upside potential is calculated by
    setting the stock price at the strike price of the short call
    which is 32.5 in this case. With the stock at $32.50 at
    expiration, you would have a $4.00 stock gain since the stock
    was purchased for $28.50.

    Remembering your $ .65 debit to enter the position, we subtract
    that from the $4.00 and we have a total maximum profit of $3.35.
    This is significantly more potential reward than our original
    example using the Dec. 30 call.

    reward, there comes a higher potential risk. If the stock stays

Here's an interesting story.A woman was in the process of fixing her special holiday ham. She cleaned it and then took a huge knife, lopped off both ends of the ham and placed it in a pan.

    Still Selling By The Numbers?
    For years, sales managers and sales trainers have been saying that sales is a ‘numbers’ game. I can recall my first sales manager telling me over 35 years ago, “If you will see enough people, you will make enough sales.” First of all what’s enough sales? Second of all, how many is enough people? Thirdly, is this the best approach to take to prospect for new business? When I wrote Soft Sell in 1981, it w
