Payoff Mortgage – Turning Your Home into a Financial Asset 108
In most areas of the country the equity in your home has probably been slashed by 40% or more. And like a stock investment, it will take time before your home appreciates in value again.
Selling your home and taking the advantage of buying a much cheaper house thats on sale in your neighborhood might not be the right thing to do at this point.
Take note that securing a home is not the same as investing on stocks. Stocks can be traded; your home is a capital investment. So essentially, it is easier to trade stocks than trade homes. Also, giving up your home may require you to shoulder major tax consequences.
MACD Divergence Explained
Interpreting a MACD divergence can be very useful in your trading. What does a MACD Divergence means? Just that the current price trend is running out of steam. It may not happen right away. But a MACD Divergence is a powerful hint that the market is changing. Spotting a MACD divergence correctly will only come after practice. It is easy to spot MACD crossovers and dramatic rises but not so a MACD divergence.
For example, if the price is making a series of higher highs and MACD is making a series of lower lows, something is wrong between the two. What you are looking for is when the price action and MACD do not agree.
