Buy and Hedge: The 5 Iron Rules for Investing Over the Long Term – See http://www.buyandhedge.com


Omaha, NE (PRWEB) October 18, 2011

Investors trying to build wealth are finding that sharp market downturns are their worst enemy. In the last 18 years, the S&P 500 has experienced 16 violent declines, and professional investors have mastered hedging techniques to dramatically reduce the risks of market volatility. In short, this new era of market volatility is now the new normal.

In their new book,”Buy and Hedge: The 5 Iron Rules for Investing Over the Long Term,” two leading investment experts, Wayne Ferbert and Jay Pestrichelli show individual investors how to implement strategies which include stocks, indexes, ETFs, and options that not only protect capital, but remain invested to appreciate with the markets. (FT Press, Oct. 18, 2011 – ISBN-10: 0132825244)

    “This is not your father’s market,” says Jay Pestrichelli, co-founder of ZEGA Financial, LLC. “Never before in our history have we seen such volatility as we have in the past two decades, and hedging has become today’s most crucial investing tool.”

    “Investors want to learn how to execute strategies to generate profits,” says Wayne Ferbert, also co-founder of ZEGA Financial, LLC. “The 5 Iron Rules in our book define the Buy and Hedge strategy that any investor can implement to be successful.”

    The authors’ techniques are easy to use, can be applied to most investment vehicles, and once implemented, require only modest “care and feeding.” Investors will discover how to take advantage of the hedge-building mechanisms built into low-cost index funds; invest with confidence hedging the downside; systematically manage portfolios for risk as well as return; and earn more profits with less fear.

Medical Marijuana Job Fair Announced for Bay Area West Coast Cannabis Expo

Medical Marijuana Job Fair Announced for Bay Area West Coast Cannabis Expo











The West Coast Cannabis Expo (WCCE) is the premier Bay Area medical cannabis lifestyle event.


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 04, 2011

Inspired by President Barack Obama with his American Job Act, the West Coast Cannabis Expo will be the very first to feature a Job Fair featuring career opportunities in the $ 1.7 billion legal medical marijuana industry. The event launches this Friday, October 7, and continues through Sunday, October 9, 2011 at the Cow Palace – South Hall located at 2600 Geneva Avenue in Daly City, just south of San Francisco.

The idea came from Cheryl Shuman, Executive Director of Celebrity, Media and Public Relations for KUSH Magazine and Director of Special Projects for the National Cannabis Industry Association.

“Working with KUSH Magazine, I see hundreds of job opportunities. West Coast Cannabis Expo organizers are taking a more serious look by focusing on getting Americans back to work,” said Shuman.

Shuman leads the list of more than 30 top speakers, entrepreneurs, activists and industry leaders participating in the speakers’ program, including Senator Vasconcellos, Stephen DeAngelo of Harborside, Debby Goldsberry, Dale Gieringer and many others.

“The beautiful thing about the cannabis plant is that it not only has the ability to heal a multitude of illnesses, it has the power to heal the economy by creating desperately needed jobs,” said Shuman.

Sponsored by the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA)—the only national trade association for the cannabis industry—the job fair will feature many local job opportunities within the growing medical cannabis industry.

“Even in the face of a dismal national economy, the legal medical cannabis industry is growing and creating jobs across the country,” said NCIA Executive Director Aaron Smith. “The jobs showcased at this fair represent only the tip of the iceberg of a growing national industry.”

Cannajobs—a NCIA member-business—has been named as the exclusive service to execute the Job Fair Mission at West Coast Cannabis Expo. Cannajobs specializes in working with companies that are looking for employees, affiliates, representatives and salespeople in the medical cannabis field. Job seekers are encouraged to bring their resumes and prepare for on-the-spot interviews.

Cannajobs partners with many companies that are looking to staff employees, affiliates, representatives and sales positions in the cannabis industry. Companies lined up to participate in the Job Fair include: Cannajobs, WeedMaps, Cannamist, Phototron, Versativa, IAMBUD, Jerome Handley Law, Sweet Leaf Collective, Simply Chronic, California Earth Supply, Cannabis Career Institute and many more.

“Cannajobs’ mission is to provide information about how to make the leap into the cannabis industry and match those seeking jobs in the industry with companies that need assistance,” said Robert Calkin, CEO of Cannajobs. “These aren’t just medical marijuana dispensary jobs; there are many attractive options available in this industry, from sales to growing to legal assistance to activism.”

Cannajobs.com is a new online resource for cannabis jobs that aims to fill employment needs in the medical cannabis industry. The site offers free job posting and applications and provides a free video conferencing system that allows online interviews, meetings and file sharing. Cannajobs is also home of The Circle, a free social networking platform where members can create groups for their businesses or interests, join live video conferences, and connect with others in the industry. Circle members can conduct “CannaMeetings” and job interviews using the site’s online videoconferencing technology.

At this event, Cannajobs will provide candidates with an honest assessment of their skill set and experience. They will also teach interested parties how to enter the industry, overcome skill gaps, develop compelling resumes, and make themselves attractive to cannabis employers.

Cannabis career candidates will complete a brief intake form and talk to a Cannajobs career counselor to determine which types of jobs match their preferences, if there are any immediate matches, or if they need additional experience or training to become better qualified for their target career.

Cannabis industry job seekers who attend the expo will have access to the Cannajobs.com website, where they may post their resumes and query job openings. They will also receive access to a free video conferencing room that they can use to network and promote themselves.

Businesses will be able to sign up with Cannajobs at no charge. They can also initiate free video conferences to promote their goods and services, as well as conduct interviews with prospective employees privately and efficiently.

“Cannajobs offers a valuable public service by offering information and guidance to anyone who wishes to move into the medical marijuana industry,” said Calkin. “After the job fair, job seekers can continue their search for jobs on Cannajobs.com and interview for positions by using our free video conferencing room called The Circle.”

Medical marijuana companies are urged to contact Cannajobs prior to the event to discuss their current hiring needs. “There is still room for companies in the medical marijuana industry to join the job fair,” said Calkin. “It’s best to contact us in advance, but since this is an informal event, you can also just come by our booth at the show and talk to potential employees,” said Calkin.

The West Coast Cannabis and Music Expo will take place Friday, October 7 from 3 to 9 pm; Saturday, October 8 from 11 am to 9 pm; and Sunday, October 9 from 11 am to 7 pm at the Cow Palace, located at 2600 Geneva Avenue in Daly City. Single-day tickets are available for $ 23.25, and 3-day passes can be purchased for $ 45. The event is open to the public, but attendees must have a valid doctor’s recommendation to enter the designated medicating area. Tickets can be purchased at the box office or online at http://westcoastcannabisexpo.com/buytickets.html.

Sponsors of the West Coast Cannabis and Music Expo include: WeedMaps.com, Be Legally Green (BLG), Humboldt Nation Distribution, Bhang Medicinal Chocolates, SoCalSeedCo.com, ConspireATL.com, The BISS List, BISS Entertainment, CwAnalytical.com, Beverly Hills Cannabis Club and Elemental Wellness.

I am interested in learning about options trading. So far I have looked into investools and spreadtradesystem.

Question by dacaugrey: I am interested in learning about options trading. So far I have looked into investools and spreadtradesystem.
Please let me know if you have any experience (good or bad) with either, or if you would recommend something else.

Best answer:

Answer by Serge M
I don’t know these programs. There are many books available on option trading ranging from beginners to advanced. The best approach is first to read about options, learn how they work, then start on a small scale. Buying call and put options is more risky than selling covered options. If you don’t already own some stocks on which you can sell options, you may want to take advantage of the high leverage that option buying gives you.

You will need to open a brokerage account. Look for a discount broker with low commissions on options, or open an account with a flat annual or monthly fee that permits unlimited trading with no commissions.

Question by NAMELESS ID: Is there a good website to learn about option trading?
something even a dummy like me can understand?

Best answer:

Answer by zaphodsclone
I implore you to do some research before getting into the muddy waters of options.

The wild claims you hear about making millions with no risk are hooey. Options are dangerous and volatile and there is great risk of losing huge sums of money.

Fair warning:
There are experts who have been working the options world for longer than you have been alive, if you don’t know what you are doing, you will end up broke.

Im trying to learn more about OPTIONS TRADING, I need help with some terms in DETAIL please.?

Question by wirelessforless2000: Im trying to learn more about OPTIONS TRADING, I need help with some terms in DETAIL please.?
Whoever gives me the most DETAIL will get the 10 points!

What do the following mean:
Buy to Open
Buy to Close
Sell to Open
Sell to Close

Im trying to buy calls, once I buy them how do I make money on them? How do I sell them exactly?
When buying calls is it true the most you can lose is the amount you invested?
Also, on the screen I see some stocks that say Calls [55] and other stocks that say Calls [45] at the top of the screen, its not the price so what does it mean?
When buying calls under quantity if I put 1 does that mean im buying 100 shares?

Best answer:

Answer by Tommy
You want to use “buy to open”… Buy to Close would be used if you were a seller of an option, ie you own 100 XYZ and sell a call for cash…then you want to cover your position =, so you would be buying to cover, ie closing an open position. For sell exactly the reverse, you will be selling to close.

Options are quoted just like stocks, so if the price goes up you could sell.

When buying calls you cannot lose more than the price paid and commissions.

most options tables have many different months and “strikes” this is the price were the option comes into the money. A $ 50 stock might have calls from 35 to 75 or even broader sometimes
etc. that is probably what you are seeing. And finally yes 1 is 1 contract for 100 shares
