Payoff Mortgage – Turning Your Home into a Financial Asset 108

by Jerry Smith

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

by Ahmad Hassam

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.
