7 Secrets Every Commodity Trader Needs to Know $138.77 The stock market has always intrigued me. The dynamics of finding sound companies prime for growth and profiting from their successes has an overwhelming attraction to most investors. Commodities, a shrinking investment realm by comparison, has always given the appearance of an all or nothing, rags to riches, dreamland. The truth is, however, commodities is enriched by concrete concepts and leveraged opportunities while the stock market holds the dreams of the derivative ownership in a company made up of more unknowns to the average investor than one would care to acknowledge.My interest in commodities came about when I was introduced to leverage. Imagine being able to find a profitable strategy and then using the concept of leveraging your capital to create an exponential growth of profits. This is not merely a fantasy, but a reality found when properly investing in these markets. This book is designed to show you how to accomplish this ultimate goal by becoming a complete trader.What is a complete trader? A complete trader is one who maximizes their utilization of all of the tools and information available to them within a given market. This means combining the knowledge of technical tools and charting, gaining scope and perspective on the historical and present fundamentals of a market, and using proper trade designs to accomplish a risk managed and profit maximizing approach. Thus, using the tools and information available to minimize mistakes, control losses and maximize trade design to accomplish consistency in profitability. Every one of the secrets you are about to uncover in this book are about making you a complete trader. Anyone can make some simple technical forecasts,gain knowledge of the fundamental history of a market, and use futures or options to trade a market. But how many traders can make the analysis and decisions necessary to be a consistently profitable trader?While exact figures vary depending on who you ask, they say 90% of commodit |

Voting Rites: The Devolution of American Politics $108.64 Does it really matter if a voter decides to vote-or, as a significant number of Americans do each election, not vote? Ron Hirschbein explores this issue and shows why enfranchisement cannot be understood unless it is placed in context and history. Clearly, the meaning of a vote depends upon the situation: a vote cast among the 400 of Athens or in the College of Cardinals has one significance; this is considerably different from pulling a lever every four years in a mass society of spectacles and commodities. Hirschbein also examines how voting was transformed from an expression of the political will of the Athenian polity into a sacred natural right-only to be turned to a ritual of mass society. First, Hirschbein looks at the right to vote as the centerpiece of American civic religion. He contrasts civic myths about enfranchisement with anthropological realities. Specifically he argues that, given the intractable mathematics of mass society, the chances that a single vote will determine the outcome of an election approach the infinitesimal. However, he suggests that voting plays a neglected ritual function by constructing, legitimizing, and celebrating political reality for players and spectators alike. Hirschbein then explicates the origins and evanescent meanings of enfranchisement by examining the theory and practice of voting among the citizenry of ancient Athens, medieval ecclesiastical bureaucrats, Enlightenment natural law thinkers, and the founders of the Virtuous Republic. He concludes with speculation about possible futures. A controversial and important analysis, this will be of interest to the general public as well as scholars, researchers, and policy makers involved withelection issues and theories of democracy. |
