So your credit score is below 600 and you don’t feel well – financially speaking. The mere mention of the word “loan” stresses you out. The fact is, the mortgage loan process can be grueling for a person with bad credit, whether you are looking for a personal loan or a home loan.

The first thing a lender does, when you apply for a loan is, pull your credit history file or your credit report. Your credit report indicates that almighty number known as your FICO score. This number was created by the Fair Isaacs Corporation to measure your financial health. The number ranges from 300 to 850 with 300 being the lowest score you can have. 850, of course is the best score. My guess is that only Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have these credit scores and they don’t need to apply for refinance loans.

If your credit score is below 600 (be it 485, 520, 540, 560 or 580), the general assumption is that, you pay your bills 30 days, 60 days or 90 days late. In addition, you may have a history of Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy or chargeoffs. Needless to say, these facts give lenders “food for thought”.

So, the big question is “can you get a mortgage refinance loan with poor credit?” The answer is “yes”. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Your most important task will involve finding a qualify subprime refinance lender. Subprime mortgage lenders specialize in mortgage loan products for people with low credit scores be it 400, 450, 500 or 550. A good subprime lender, can work with you to find a loan that meets your needs and offers good loan terms: interest rate, loan type (Fixed or Adjustable) and your desired cash out amount ($25,000, $50,000, etc).

We may have one more rally but the highs are in and the euro will decline, as the dollar bearish fundamentals have peaked. You don’t need to be clever to see why and work out the potential. Here are all the facts and a potential 700 pip opportunity and that’s a lot of profit!

Many traders think markets some strange force but they don’t they move in line with the long term fundamentals but of course you can’t trade on these, you just know they are going to force the euro lower so we have included the technical levels as well and will indicate under valuation and over valuation for marketing timing purposes.

So why is the era of dollar selling over?

Here are the main reasons.

- Bearish sentiment of investors has peaked

- The market is not just focusing on problems with the dollar but in other countries

- There is a significant improvement in the current account deficit underway

- The Housing market is on the road to recovery and the excess supply should start to decline

- Employment numbers are still poor but coming in better than expected

- Higher yields are needed but the yield disadvantage will narrow as Fed looks to raise rates

The economy still has problems of course but the real key is rates the US has aggressively cut and many other economies have not this leaves plenty of upside potential. While rate rises may not occur in the short term the aggressive cutting is over and the bearish scenario is factored in and the dollar is hammering a base, while the storm clouds gather for the euro.

Euro

Here are the main reasons which point to euro weakness

- Current account balances no longer show the euro is under valued

- In terms of purchasing power parity the euro U.S Dollar rate should be around $1.20

- This shows that the euros rally has really been based on interest rate perceptions

- The ECB will be reluctant to raise rates with economic activity weak

- Labour markets remain tight but economic activity will dictate rate rises

Take the above and what do you have?

The interest rate differential that has driven the euro higher has gone and we will now see a period where the dollar works its way higher.

The Charts

If you check out the weekly chart you will see a clear top in place and the up-sloping trend line which has supported the advance has been penetrated and 1.50 is the initial target. The weekly chart really lets you see the wood from the trees but you need to time off the daily chart.

On the daily chart the resistance is the same as the weekly and we are trading in a range which has been in existence since March. The target at present is the bottom of the range 1.54 and if this gives way 1.50.

We are a little oversold at present but any rallies will get to around 1.57, 1.58 at best and are a sell on falling momentum, if the euro does not rally a close under 1.54 cements the bull argument

Nothing complicated and so far our sale at the pop to the highs is 400 pips up but as with all trends there are more opportunities coming to take advantage of euro weakness and if you can get in then you could enjoy a ride that is very profitable and could see the euro below 1.50 by year end and that’s a lot of profit!

Forex trading has become hot! Its heavy leverage allows traders to capitalize with big gains and the lure of huge profits sends many traders to forex on a daily basis. Sadly, most of these traders won’t be around for long. As many as 90% of all new forex traders lose their capital and bring their accounts to zero within six months. Largely because they come into the forex market with the mistaken belief that all they have to do is learn a trading system and trade by the signal their favorite indicator gives them and they will be able to average out a profit. What they fail to realize is the false signal can wipe out a large portion of their trading account.
 
At this point I might as well tell you I am no fan of indicators! Indicators are nothing more than mathematical algorithms of some sort of movement in price, with a few other variables added depending on the indicator. What the forex trader should be concentrating on is the price chart itself. Why? Because the trained forex trader will be able to tell much more about the market by watching price movement than with any indicator or trading system. Price movement tells the story of fear and greed, which are the two most important criteria a currency trader needs to be able to discern. The volatility of the forex markets creates many trading opportunities that can be spotted by watching the price chart. Candlestick trading for instance will teach you to spot reversals in price before the majority of other traders. Western technical analysis in its original form also allows the forex trader to spot weakening of trends and areas of likely reversals before the rest of the crowd.
 
Before we all had our PCs charts were drawn by hand. There was no fancy charting software or trading platforms. What we take for granted as an instant chart took traders of old a lot of time to plot. These were the pioneers of technical analysis and they were looking at the chart NOT indicators. Japanese Candlesticks, the best form of analysis in my opinion for forex, has been around hundreds of years. These technicians were very proficient in reading the mood of the markets and many became very wealthy doing it. Many modern technical analysts combine Western chart patterns with Japanese Candlesticks and also do quite well in forex.
 
Computers have brought us instant access to the currency markets but along with it have come hundreds of indicators which will do nothing but confuse the new forex trader in my opinion. If you must use an indicator, learn to read the chart first. Learn the major candlestick reversal patterns as they relate to forex as they are different than other markets. Then plot your indicator and see how it relates to the chart. I’ll bet you’ll find you trade from the chart more often than you think.

I found it quite a struggle to decide which topic to write about in this week’s article as there are a couple of things that have really made my blood boil, but I decided in the end to write about this so-called ‘recession’ that the media would have us believe is just around the corner. One of the reasons I wanted to write about this subject is because I’ve had quite a few emails asking why I haven’t written an article on the current economic climate, so I thought I’d address it this week.

The main reason I haven’t written an article is quite simply because I don’t believe a ‘recession’ exists or even that we’re close to one. Before I have 1,001 emails back telling me why I’m wrong. Let me explain what I do think is out there.

I do think that we have a ‘credit crunch’ in that it’s more difficult to borrow money if you need to. Notice though that I said more difficult and not impossible. It is definitely possible to borrow money, but it might take longer and you may have to shop around a bit more to find the best deal.

I also do believe that some industries are having a bit of a hard time at the moment – like construction.

But mostly I believe that our wonderful media is doing a very good job of trying to talk us into a recession. Let’s face it they have a 24-hour media channel to fill not to mention countless newspapers and magazines. I know very well that if we write a press release on something negative in the economy, it’s almost guaranteed to get into the papers at the moment, but that doesn’t mean it’s real.

The effect of all of this is that I think people in general are a little bit more cautious on what they spend their money on. This doesn’t mean they don’t have any money – they most definitely do – it just means that they’re thinking twice before deciding whether or not to spend money on something.

Does this mean you should close the doors of your business and go out and get a job? Absolutely not!! The key to getting through this media driven frenzy is to stay really positive. As someone said to me once:

“If you think there will be a recession in your business, there definitely will be.”

In other words, stop listening to all the media talk, stay positive and believe that you will be successful this year. By simply adopting this attitude, we’ve already achieved our turnover from last year and are currently expanding (more news about our new member of our team next month).

Come on, you can do it too – but you must really believe that you can do well at the moment (not just a half-hearted agreement) or this positive attitude is not going to work for you. Stay positive and ignore all those people who do believe a recession is just around the corner.

I’d love to hear your stories of how well you’ve been doing too – send them over to me at helen.dowling@exceptionalthinking.co.uk

I believe that photography reflects perception. The created images are intuitive responses to observed moments in life. The elements of the canvas are light and shadow which guarantee constant change and opportunities missed or captured. Photographers are always chasing the light.

However, I have also learned that the photographic vision and process can also be a metaphor for life. Vocabulary and techniques taught me the process of photography. The experience of a lens-eye-view through the camera also taught me a way to process life. When developing photographic composition, I would ask the question “What am I choosing to focus on?” When I looked away from the camera and asked the same question, I now had a tool for self-awareness, a catalyst for personal change, and a way to balance my life. Nature, in its magnificence and majesty, became the teacher. I became the student and was always aware that I was observing nature’s hidden curriculum. This curriculum is all around us and evokes our innate nature of goodness to see beauty, accept its teachable moments to develop our character, and to earn our esteem for its organization and diversity.

From experience, I have learned that despite life’s challenges, one can always choose attitudes and intentions. During stress, it is a choice to focus on a visual conveying peace. Doing do initiates a relaxation response within the body and breathing becomes easier and becomes deeper. Using this technique to disengage from the continuum of stressful moments allows one to respond to situations rather than react to them. Awareness of this choice-point opportunity in life allows one to demonstrate responsibility for oneself by developing the ability to respond rather then react to life. Nature photography art is one way to develop this technique to take care of oneself, to breathe, to appreciate, to respect, to honor both the self and others. When we take moments to focus on the innate goodness and beauty around us through nature photography art, we empower ourselves with our birthright of love. We balance our physical bodies with our breath as we choose and intentionally create peace within the self. Ultimately, perceptions of stress are re-created as perceptions of peace.

So, I challenge each reader to look, really look through the viewfinder of one’s personal life camera. What is the composition of your daily life created by your thoughts, perceptions and beliefs? What are your choices each day? What are you choosing to focus on during your days? What takes your energy? Do you have stress-filled days? Try pursuing nature photography art as a way to support a quest for inner peace or a tranquil or inspiring environment. Inspirational note cards as art can be a source of peace or healing for oneself or others. Art motivational posters can inspire active citizenship or inspire human potential. Nature photography art can provide an atmosphere of serenity, tranquility and hope. Look for images and thoughts that inspire ¬

Each day we are born anew as an artist of life experiences. The world is our canvas and our thoughts, attitudes, intentions and beliefs are the brush strokes on our canvas. What does your canvas look like? When you view your life through the lens of your personal camera, what do you see? You are the creator of your life composition. You can compose your own life images. As John Denver once wrote: Welcome to my morning, welcome to my day. I’m the one responsible. I made it just this way. To make myself some pictures to see what they might bring. Yes, I think I made it perfectly. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Life. Composition. It is all a personal choice. Yes, nature photography art can be a tool to support inner peace. Let nature’s hidden curriculum be an inspiration as you develop your human potential.

Body cleansing at an internal level is a hot topic, and for good reasons. Body cleansing is more necessary now than ever because we live in a very toxic world: herbicides, petrochemicals, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, food additives, synthetic drugs etc…Body cleansing is much more necessary because those toxins can have an adverse effect on our cells, internal organs and state of health. Why body cleansing is more than necessary? Last year alone, over 20 million pounds of antibiotics were injected into our farm animals. Body cleansing is also more than necessary because many insecticides and pesticides have become part of our food pyramid and these noxious chemicals are mixed with our fruits and vegetables. We are chronically exposed to harmful substances. Finally, body cleansing is necessary because our soils are poisoned with chemicals and pollution and are continually stripped of their nutrients-primarily minerals-to perform optimally. The nutritionally bankrupt body is an invitation to illness and disease.

For the first time we are actually witnessing a decline in the American life-span. America is in a true health crisis and preventable diseases are out of control. Cardiovascular disease is epidemic,44 million people suffer from arthritis,18 million have diabetes,17 million suffer from asthma,1 in 8 women develop breast cancer and 18 million children are obese.

According to the Journal of American Medical Association, obesity, poor physical activity and the resultant associated illnesses are overtaking tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death in this country. Obesity cost America $117 billions according to the Surgeon General. Obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions. Visceral fat (fat carried in the abdominal area) poses an even higher risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes. In a study , EPA has measured the levels of toxins in human body from all regions of the country. Twenty toxic compounds were found in the samples. The question is how much do they harm us. The ever increasing illness and disease in this country are indicative of how vital detox cleansing is now.

There are many reasons supporting body cleansing. Body cleansing strengthens the immune system. Cleansing impurities and flooding the body with essential nutrients support the immune system and all major organ systems. Gentle cleansing herbs and essential nutrients will eliminate toxins and flush fat. Cleansing allows the internal body to attack the effects of aging. Why not embrace a program that gives your body the right nutrients and better weight management.
-Cleansing is much more necessary now than ever because we live in a very toxic world. Toxins can have an adverse effect on our state of health. Cleansing impurities and flooding the body with essential nutrients support the immune system and all major organ systems.Detoxification and cleansing is the Missing Link.

Body cleansing is more necessary now than ever because we live in a very toxic world. EPA has measured the levels of toxins in human body and found out twenty six compounds in the samples.Gentle cleansing herbs can eliminate toxins, flush fat and support the immune system and all major organ systems.

I am proposing three different cleansing programs, one by Isagenix, one by Bowtrol and one by Botanic.

You can choose the one you like most but make sure that you do it. Take action now to enjoy a better life

When most people think of investments and making money they think of real estate, stock trading, bond trading, mutual funds, CDs, etc. Most have never heard of the forex market and how easy it is to earn money with forex. Until now, you may have never known how easy it is to earn money with forex trading, because nobody has ever given you the right information, as I will in this article.

So what do you need to start earning money with forex? Unlike Trading stocks where you need to have a significant amount of capital to get started, you can easily open an account with a broker for as little as $300 to $2000. Most brokers will offer you a leverage of 100:1. This means you can control up to $100,000 with an initial investment of only $1,000. This makes it very accessible for the average person to earn money with forex.

The instructions for trading on the forex exchange are relatively simple. When the price of the currency is low, you buy. In a few seconds or minutes, the price will go up, and you sell it and make a profit. Many people make $500-$1000 just by buying, selling and trading foreign currencies for about 3 or 4 hrs per day!

But if you are looking to earn money with forex as a second income while you go to your regular job it is easy to do that aswell. The beauty of forex trading is that you don’t have to be stuck behind your computer screen for hours and hours. You can enter all your buy trades and specify the sell prices before hand so that whenever your selling prices are reached, the currencies will be automatically sold for you and you make money! This alone allows many people to earn money with forex on autopilot.

Some more great reasons to earn money with forex are that you are in complete control. You are the boss and you choose how much to invest, how much you will make and when you will make it. You can make money daily, 365 days all year from forex day trading. And the market is open 24 hours a day. The forex market is a 2.5 trillion daily business and is much larger than all the stock markets of the world combined. Compared to other investment opportunities like traditional stocks, bonds and mutual funds there is just a lot more money to be made and it is much easier to get a piece of the pie.

I hope that reading this article has opened your eyes to the forex market and how simply it really is to earn money with forex trading. Although I believe that it is the one of the fastest and best ways to create lasting wealth, it is also a great way to build a substantial second income that can help you reach your financial dreams.
