By: J_W_Jones
IBM will reported earnings after the closing bell on Tuesday, January 18. For traders maintaining a position in common stock during earnings releases and the frequent price gyrations can result in uncomfortable moments.

The 4x1 Forex Trading Strategy in a Nutshell / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: Submissions
Victor Chan Wai-To writes: It is better to teach a man to fish, than to give him a fish everyday. It is better to teach you one principle that you can understand, than to show you a hundred techniques that you don't know how to apply. Therefore, a great instructional writing does not just lay out the methods, but also an intelligence framework with which you can make the methods you own. In my opinion, the bestseller forex e-book, Bird Watching in Lion Country - Forex Trading Explained, is exactly that kind of material that will help you to be a better trader. Unfortunately, the book is pretty thick so it requires quite some time to digest. Fortunately, here is an alternative: I have summarised the core ideas of the book in one article, and it won't take you ten minutes to capture the very principle to trade currencies successfully.

Why It's Dangerous to Diversify Your Investment Portfolio / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: EWI
A free report from Elliott Wave International reveals the risks of portfolio diversification
Despite near-unanimous endorsement among mainstream advisors, the strategy of portfolio diversification has a huge, glaring flaw: Namely, when large sums of liquidity begin to flow into global investment markets, formerly disparate trends become strongly correlated. And markets that go up together ultimately go down together; in turn, the value of diversified portfolios goes down with them.
