WARNING: Don't Take Another Trade Until You Read This
Important Message...
"Who Else Wants To Learn The Closely Guarded
Secrets Of A Trading Veteran & Discover Why
Other Professional Traders Desperately Want To
Hide Them From You?"
Hi,
As you know we don't endorse products unless we've found something so important
to your trading, that you stand to lose thousands of pounds if you don't check
it out now.
Here's what we mean:
We receive countless emails requesting that we review products and to be
honest, most of them are not even worth the space they take up on the hard
drive.
However, occasionally we stumble across a real diamond in the rough and these
are the ones we let our preferred subscribers know about... You see, without
this information, we can guarantee you'll fail in the market.
At last, you can find out the closely guarded secrets of top traders.
A week ago, we were asked to review a revolutionary new program that has just
been released. After reviewing it in great detail, it truly can be called the
holy grail of trading. It reveals what all top traders have in common.
After talking with the author, we've found he's still collecting testimonials
and so we made him an offer... we'll get him some top notch testimonials
if our subscribers could receive a 25% discount on the package.
BUT THERE'S A CATCH.
In exchange for the discount, once you've completed the package, all he asks
is that you write one paragraph telling him what you thought. That sounds fair
doesn't it?
It's a win-win situation.
To take up the opportunity, visit.
http://www.netnewsrelease.com/trading
Read the letter and discover that he leaves nothing out. Unfortunately, this
special offer is only available to the next 137 orders. After that, we can't
guarantee you'll receive the discounted price.
Please check the program out since we know it'll be worth your time.

Auctions
Can Yield Up A Bargain.
With house prices now out of reach for many - despite signs
the market is slowing in some areas - buyers are having to
look harder for bargains.
One alternative is to buy at auction, says Jane Hall.
A glance through the daytime television schedules reveals
that Britain is in the grip of auction fever, with programmes
such as Bargain Hunt, Cash In the Attic and Flog It highlighting
our love of a bargain.
This love affair shows no signs of abating.
But for those hoping to emulate the likes of David Dickinson
and pick up a house "as cheap as chips", the auction room
can be a nerve-wracking place.
Yet a growing number of people are now looking to the auction
room as a means of getting their feet on the property ladder.
Buying at auction now accounts for an estimated 5pc and rising
of all property transactions, according to the Royal Institute
of Chartered Surveyors (Rics).
Recent figures from online property database Focus show the
value of residential properties sold at auction during the
first six months of 2003 rose 12pc to £612m, helped
by a 19.5pc increase in the average value of residential
lots to £113,599.
Buying at auction sounds like a dream, especially as the
traditional method takes an average of 12 weeks from the
day an offer is accepted until contracts are exchanged. During
that time, buyers can be gazumped or sellers may decide to
stay put and chains break.
Almost one agreed sale in three now never makes it to exchange
of contracts.
A big advantage for saleroom buyers is that once the auctioneer's
hammer falls, the property belongs to them and neither they
nor the seller can pull out. The buyer hands over a deposit
and may move in within 28 days.
Around 25,000 properties now go to auction every year at
more than 200 auction houses nationwide.
Such sales - which are the norm in the United States and
Australia - really took off in the UK in the 1990s when lenders
were having to sell-off property they had repossessed, often
at a loss, but couldn't sell on the open market. They became
a magnet for buyers who wanted to take advantage of the lower
prices and pick up a bargain.
Although there has been a reduction in the number of auctions
being held as the property market has picked up and fewer
homes are being repossessed, they are still going. And they
still attract bargain hunters.
The reason why auctions still produce mark-downs is simple.
Most properties being sold at auction are there for one reason.
Their owners - and this includes lenders with repossessions
on their hands - need a quick sale and are therefore often
prepared to accept offers well below the market value.
But despite the financial advantages of buying property at
auction, many people are wary of doing so. Not for the faint-hearted,
an auction room is an unfamiliar environment for most and
is certainly not a conventional way to buy a home.
As a result, it is seen by many to be a risky business. This
is not actually the case, says Andrew Entwhistle, associate
partner of surveyors and valuers George F White, which has
offices in Alnwick and Wolsingham and holds between 10 and
15 property auctions across the region every year.
"There are two golden rules for buying at auction," Andrew says. "The first is
to do your homework and get an answer to every question you have before the auction.
This may cost you, but it will be cash well spent.
"The second is to go to the auction with a fixed price in your head and to stick
to it. If you follow those rules, buying at auction need be no more risky than
going through an estate agent."
While George F White usually deals in properties with what
Andrew describes as the "wow factor," and buyers who pay
in cash, he says in general there can be bargains for the
taking at auctions.
"A lot depends on who is there on the day bidding, and how the property has been
marketed. If it hasn't been marketed well or the seller wants to get rid of it
quickly, then there is a possibility you will get a bargain.
"In the current elevated housing market, auctions are preferred by many. It is
a transparent way to buy. You have the advantage of being able to inspect all
the deeds, searches and contracts beforehand."
Richard Francis, head of auctions at estate agent Keith Pattinson,
says: "Every month it staggers me that, while some properties
go for more than anticipated, many go for much less.
"We are attracting first time buyers and those looking to trade-up as well as
investors, and have properties across all price ranges, from £1,000 to £750,000."
Andrew Entwhistle throws cold water on the idea that an auctioneer
may mistake a twitch or a cough for a bid. "A property auction
is not like a lamb sale where a sneeze will buy you a whole
flock. At a property auction you generally have to wave your
arms around very strongly. However, my advice would be if
you're not wanting to bid, keep your arms folded."
A more common problem is bidding for the wrong lot. Make
sure you know exactly which lot you want and which lot the
auctioneer is taking bids on.
You should also check that the property is still up for auction
and hasn't been sold privately.
So while buying at auction can be nerve-wracking, it need
be no more risky than buying through an estate agent.
The only difference is that the selling price will be determined
by the amount of competition bidders are prepared to offer.
Most people who buy at auction are cash buyers who already
have finance available. But some inexperienced buyers do
venture into the auction market. If you decide to do so,
then you must be certain that your finance is in place before
making an offer.
The auction catalogues are released usually two to four weeks
before the sale and give a guide to prices, so you will know
roughly how much you will need. But remember that the final
price may be higher, particularly if there are several bidders
for the property.
The most important point to remember about this pre-auction
planning is that all of the paperwork, surveys, searches,
and financing must be carried out before the auction itself.
But one of the major advantages is that the purchase goes
through very quickly, therefore you bypass problems like
chains or a long wait while the vendor finds a suitable property
to move to.

Auction
Offers Lunch With Cruise.
A lunch date with Tom Cruise and visit to the Mission Impossible
3 set is the star lot at an auction supporting a food programme
for people with Aids.
Sharon Stone will also be auctioning off a kiss as part of
the Project Angel Food Hollywood 100 auction in Los Angeles
on Sunday.
The Mini driven by Charlize Theron in The Italian Job and
a guitar signed by Tom Hanks are also included.
The charity delivers meals to people disabled by Aids across
LA.
"Project Angel Food is the kind of charity that's doing something for those in
need every day - providing food, support and love," said NYPD Blue actor Bill
Brochtrup said at a press conference.
Other lots, some of which can be bid for online, include
Barbra Streisand's dress from the movie Funny Girl, a piano
bench donated by Sir Elton John and visits to the TV sets
of Six Feet Under and CSI.
The
Positive Club
The Only
True Lamp
Look not too long in the face of the fire, O man! Never dream with thy hand on
the helm! Turn not thy back to the compass; accept the first hint of the hitching
tiller; believe not the artificial fire, when its redness makes all things look
ghastly.
Tomorrow, in the natural sun, the skies will be bright; those who glared like
devils in the forking flames, the morn will show in far other, at least gentler,
relief; the glorious, golden, glad sun, the only true lamp - all others but liars!
Herman Melville.

smoke; like a butterfly--it passes so quickly, flying away.
Nobody, no one can bring back wasted years.
One wishes that one would have always lived with eternity in mind.
Emmy Arnold.
