What is Options Trading??!!

Options trading become very popular lately because option is one of the most flexible and versatile instruments that can greatly enhance the performance or reduce the risk of an investment portfolio. By deploying the right strategies, options trading enable us to make money whether the market is bullish or bearish or even when the market going sideway.

So, what is an Option?

Option is a contract that has the right but not obligation to buy or sell a stock at a specific price on or before a specific date.

How does an option work?

An option is very similar to when we want to buy a land to build our home sweet home. For example, when we found an ideal piece of land and need time to obtain permit, land approval, securing financing and seek confirmation from Feng Shui master, etc.

At the same time, we would like to secure the land while putting everything in place. We can go to the land owner and “strike” a deal to buy the land for $5 million. We create a contract that gives us the right to buy the land but it does NOT constitute an obligation that we must purchase the land.

The contract has an expiration of 3 months to put everything in place. Hence, we are controlling the land for 3 months and we must decide whether to buy the land or not before the expiration date.

As a return, the land owner is expecting to collect a premium of $200,000 for being obligated to sell the land to us at $5 million. This premium is based on how much the land might increase in value during the 3 months period.
The land owner will be more than happy to receive and keep the $200,000 premium paid for the contract no matter what happens. At the same time, the agreed upon sales or strike price is likely to be much higher than he or she could obtain if he or she sold the land without obtaining all the necessary approvals.

The contract in this example is very similar to a Call option in stock market. The strike price is $5 million while the option premium is $200,000 for a 3 months expiration contract.

During the 3 months period, if we discover a gold mine underneath the land. The value of the land shoots up to $50 million. However, the land owner is still obliged to sell the land for $5 million. We bought the land for $5.2 million and can now sell it immediately for $50 million to make a $44.8 million profit.
However, if for some reasons such as the application to build a house is unsuccessful or the Feng Shui master confirms that the land is not suitable to build a house. We decide not to exercise the option to buy the land. In this case, we will lose $200,000 premium paid for the option.

Using the similar example and apply it to the share market or options trading, investors who anticipate a bullish market can buy Calls option on the stock to ride on the upward moving wave. When the stock prices go up, the premium of Calls will go up. That’s how an option trader can make money from option but at a fraction of the cost of owning the actual stock.

On the other hand, investors who anticipate a bearish market can buy Puts on stock to profit from falling prices. As the stock prices go down, the premium of Puts will rise to profit the investors. Puts are also used to protect portfolios like insurance to hedge against a fall in stock prices.

3 Days Millionaire Mind Intensive by T Harv Eker

I am back from the 3 days Millionaire Intensive in Singapore by T Harv Eker.

Personally, I feel that it was a great 3 days seminar to find out my money blueprint and why I react in certain ways when come to money. There is a rootcause behind this and it is something to do with our past experience especially from our childhood experience. Other than finding out how our blueprint is formed, the seminar also share some ways to change your blueprint in order to be rich and happy or rich and healthy....etc.

I found my blueprint and am committed to act and change it.

Also, Harv shares his money management system to the audience on how to manage your financial in order to attain financial freedom. It is very logical and make lots a sense to me. I am going to start practising it...

Hence, I would highly recommend this seminar to those who missed it or never heard about this seminar before. I would say this is a great starting point to find out what is happening in your life and how could you change and make it better. If you are not sure whether you are doing well, so-so or badly. Just look at your result, your achievement, your current networth or even your bank account. That is the undefeatable fact or outcome of your financial result.

Also, I bought Harv's best selling book, Secret of the Millionaire Mind, during the seminar. The book come with 2 complimentary tickets to the same 3 days Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar at Malaysia or Singapore in year 2008. For those who missed it, you can use this link (http://www.srpl.net/mmi08) to register and obtain the complimentary ticket but you need to pay for the course materials of S$79.

Just in case you are wondering whether you need the course materials...The course materials include 2 workbooks (1 to complete during the 3 days seminar and another one is a 90 days program to exercise and practise what you have learned after the 3 days seminar. This is helpful to reinforce what you have learned and ensure we make it a habit to practise and change our blueprint completely) and a box of CDs & DvDs that I have yet to listen or view them.

I benefit from this seminar and just want to share and hope this seminar benefits you too...

p/s: just in case you are wondering whether I am selling a product via the provided link. The provided link is NOT an affiliate link and thus, I don't make any money out of it. I sincerely wish that the seminar will benefit and change your life.

Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar by T Harv Eker at Singapore this weekend

T Harv Eker will be in Singapore this week. I will be away and attending his famous Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar at Expo, Singapore from Nov 23-25, 2007.

Who is T Harv Eker? T Harv Eker is the bestselling author of Secret of The Millionaire Mind. You can find out more about him through his book or teleseminar on Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.

In the book, Harv reveals 17 specific ways that RICH people think and act differently from POOR and MIDDLE-CLASS people. The book is a brilliant yet quick read.

Harv will share with you how he can predict your financial future by identifying what he calls your "inner blueprint" for money and success. Right now you're probably trying to figure out whether your own blueprint is set for wealth, moderate success or poverty. The answer is simple! Look at your results in the real world: your income, assets and net worth. Your results reflect your inner blueprint.

You can't build a mansion from a bungalow blueprint. In fact, the only way to become the architect of your new financial destiny is by revising your own internal blueprint and setting it for automatic success.

Our minds work very similar to computer hardware. Before a computer is able to perform a series of arithmetic or logical operations, it must first be programmed and installed with software files. The ability and usefulness of the highly sophisticated hardware can be severely compromised by the quality of software.

Similarly, whether we have an average or millionaire minds are highly dependent on the files that are installed in our minds. Therefore, it is important for us to ensure that our minds are installed with the wealth files. Only then, we can differentiate whether we are thinking like the average and consciously reprogrammed our minds to think like the rich.

Remember, our minds are controlled by ourselves. We can choose to think in whatever ways we like as long as we are happy.

Personally, after reading Harv's book and viewing the video seminar, I am pleasantly surprised to discover how my mind used to be installed with the very old outdated traditional file taught by our teachers that we have to work hard to be rich. I used to think that, base on individual’s capacity, there is always a limited amount of money we can earn. The more money that we are after, the more time we need to trade off with money. The more time we are trading off with money, the lesser time we will have for ourselves. The lesser time left for ourselves, the lesser time we can spend with our love one which will lead to unhappiness either with ourselves or the love one. So, to stay happy, I am not willing to trade most of my time with a lot of money

I was very wrong in the past! I have an extremely wrong blueprint!

This book is very helpful to recondition my thinking tremendously. It has changed the ways I see things very differently in life especially removing all the excuses that I used to create for myself. It helps me to refocus on executing my plan to achieve my financial freedom goal.

I'm sharing this information because the seminar really worked for me and I'd like to see you benefit. Hope it helps you too...

Inspiration Corner: Michelangelo and the Flawed Stone!

~ This inspiring story is dedicated to Mong Ling for an endless abundance future ~

Human being admires perfection.
Often quick to reject thing which has flaw, we don’t realize that, in working around the flaws, some of the world’s most perfect masterpieces were created.
A massive, solid piece of Carrara marble lying unused in a field for 40 years.
The marble had been abandoned and forgotten.
A large gash scarred its side.
Today, that same piece of marble is visited by millions of people all over the world.
The abandoned and scarred stone was transformed into one of the world’s greatest masterpieces.
In 1501, Michelangelo Buonarroti won a commission from the Florentine elders to work on the flawed block of marble.
Other sculptors assumed the block would break under the strain of the huge gouge in its side.
Yet Michelangelo was able to see behind the ruined surface something that no one else could see.
With chisel and mallet, he worked around the flaw.
Weeks, months and years passed, as the master hammered and sculpted the scarred stone.
Finally, there emerged from under his skillful hands the figure of a man which was said to be so perfect that it lacked only life itself.
After 4 years of painstaking carving, Michelangelo was able to release the beautiful image of “David” from flawed marble.
In doing so, the transformed the block rejected by others into the most striking sculpture in Florence.
David’s eyes are watchful…the veins in his hands and arms reveal his strength…a stone rests in his right hand, his body, seems a reservoir of energy, standing poised for action.
When asked how he accomplished such an incredible transformation, Michelangelo said that David was already in the piece of marble…he merely removed everything that wasn’t David, including the flaw.
In the same way that Michelangelo saw David in a block of stone, then, chiseled away the flaw and the excess until David appeared, envision yourself, your life as you wish it to that image.
In doing so, you will discover that inside every person, even the scarred ones, there is a masterpiece waiting to be brought to life.

Positive Affirmation

We create our experiences by our thoughts and feelings.
The thoughts we think and the words we speak create our experiences.
Hence, we are responsible for all of our experiences.

Every thought that we think is creating our future.
What we choose to think about ourselves and life become true for us.
When we create peace, harmony and abundance in our minds, we find it in our lives.
We have unlimited ways and choices about what we can think.
People who suffer from self-hatred and guilt mainly due to the thinking: “I am not good enough” or “I don’t deserve it”…
If this belief is very strong in us, how can we possibly have created a prosperous, joyous, abundance and healthy life?

The past is over and done.
We can not change that now but we can change our thoughts about the past.
We must choose to release the past and forgive everyone including ourselves.

Self-approval and self-acceptance are the main keys to positive changes in every aspect of our lives.
We deserve the best and we accept the best.
If we do not accept the idea that we deserve to prosper, even when money falls on our laps, we will refuse it somehow.

If we want a happy life, we must think and have happy thoughts.
If we want a loving life, we must think and have loving thoughts.
If we want a prosperous life, we must think and have prosperous thoughts.
What we put attention on grows and becomes real in our life.
Move away from negativity and put our attention on what we want and desire.
Whatever we send out mentally or verbally will come back to us in like form.

Let me take the lead to share 1 Positive Affirmation each day!

"Today is the best day in my life!"

Options Trading Championship 2007

Wow....time flies! Without realizing I was back from my vacation for almost 1 month and the Options Trading Championship 2007 at Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia was over for almost 2 weeks.


4 of us, Mong Ling, Hai Liang, C Hun and myself formed a team called Fun Gappers participated in this year Options Trading Championship 2007 which was organized by Freely School.
A group photo with our mentor, Dr Clemen Chiang and Mr Richard Tan, the CEO of SkyQuestCom.com and Success Resources, a reknown event organizer.
Below is a group photo of all participants in Malaysia.
Last but not least, even though we did not win any prize, we have learned a lot and accumulated a very good experience which is a good foundation to strategize a winning recipe for next year! Fun Gappers will take up the challenge and come back again next year to win the championship and receive the prize from our mentor Dr Clemen Chiang.
Fun Gappers is going to be the winner next year. See you in Options Trading Championship 2008!
