Add Some Leverage to Your Portfolio the Easy Way

By Christian Hill

You can find ETFs that cover just about any market ("spiders" cover the S&P) or sector (the XLF covers the financials). But did you know there are some that can offer leveraged returns?

Leveraged ETFs do just what they are intended to do: They offer the opportunity to generate greater returns than traditional ETFs. That means they can magnify your gains. Of course, they can also magnify your losses. But with proper risk-management techniques, these leveraged offerings can really boost your portfolio returns.

Let’s say you think the real estate market has found the bottom and things will turn around. In that case, you could invest in the ProFunds Real Estate Ultra Sector (REPIX). This fund is intended to replicate exposure to the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index and seeks results equal to 150 percent of that index. So if the Real Estate Index is up 4 percent on any given day, the Ultra Sector fund will be up six percent.

The Real Estate Index is well diversified in its holdings, with no company making up more than 8 percent of the overall weight and the top 10 holdings making up less than 40 percent of the total. This means the Index (and therefore the Ultra Sector fund) won’t swing wildly as a result of the movement of one or two holdings.

This type of investment is perfect for those looking to generate outsized portfolio returns, or perhaps hedge against risk. Look into leveraged funds to see if one suits your needs.

Take Advantage of the World Traveler’s Secret to Staying Younger Longer

By Dr. Al Sears

If you do a lot of traveling for business, you’ve probably already discovered melatonin. It eases jet lag and lets you get some precious sleep in those cramped airplane seats. But nature’s sleep regulator holds another little-known secret: It can reverse the effects of aging.

Melatonin holds not one but nearly half a dozen age-fighters. They can help you look and feel younger longer. And this hormone can protect your cells against deadly diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Today, I’m going to tell you how you can add melatonin safely and easily to your anti-aging program, and why you should.

Boost Your Physique, Energy, and Sexual Performance With This Anti-Aging Supplement

Your body produces melatonin naturally. It’s the main hormone made by your pineal gland. This is a tiny, pea-sized gland at the base of your brain. One of the most important jobs this gland has is regulating your sleep cycle. It works like this: The pineal gland monitors changing light levels throughout the day, and when darkness falls it excretes melatonin to bring on sleep.

For decades, travelers have used melatonin to ease the transition between time zones with great success. But melatonin has other, more important, health-enhancing secrets.

Melatonin is one of the best-studied and most effective anti-aging nutrients available today. Surprised? Don’t be. For one thing, it is one of the only oral supplements that stimulates your body’s release of human growth hormone (HGH). This is the hormone that keeps you young.

In your youth, your body produces lots of HGH. But production slows down as you age. When you reverse this decline, you reverse aging. In fact, studies reported in Grow Young with HGH show that improving HGH levels heightens energy, sexual performance, muscle gain, fat loss, and skin appearance.

And melatonin works well to increase HGH levels even at small oral doses. What’s more, when you double the dose, HGH levels double. No wonder melatonin increases lifespan in study after study.

Bring Your Dying Cells Back to Life

Melatonin is also one of the most potent antioxidants ever discovered. It destroys disease-causing molecules called free radicals at an incredible pace. And it does something most other antioxidants can’t: It stimulates extra antioxidant enzymes that can protect against everything from wrinkles to illness.

One thing that causes aging and the diseases of aging is the death of cells. Your cells depend on their energy powerhouses called mitochondria. If the mitochondria are damaged, you fall victim to conditions like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, even cancer. Protect the mitochondria from damage and you keep millions more cells alive. That means you’ll stay healthy and more youthful.

Melatonin is also quickly gaining a reputation as a cancer killer. In fact, it works so well at blocking tumors that doctors are already using it to treat cancer. And the results are promising. Melatonin enhances the effectiveness of other cancer treatments, reduces side effects of those treatments, and increases survival rates.

Melatonin may do more than just protect your body from aging. Studies show it may actually reverse aging where it matters most: your brain. (After all, what good is a younger looking body if you’re not "all there" to enjoy it?) Studies reported in the journal Neurobiology of Aging have shown that melatonin can reverse aging in the brain tissues of mice. Obviously, that’s not the same thing as reversing brain aging in people. But with all its other benefits, there’s no reason not to try melatonin. And if it helps keep your brain young in the process, so much the better.

Melatonin Helps Stop the Midnight Urge to "Get Up and Go"

Like human growth hormone, natural melatonin levels fall sharply as you age. To give you an idea of how low they get, take a look at this chart:

It’s a drop you can feel. For example, one of the most common complaints I hear from my older patients is that they’re not sleeping as well as they used to. This is often caused by a deficiency of melatonin.

And, as a side benefit, just a couple of milligrams will work wonders for men suffering from prostate trouble. Benign prostatic hyperplasia sufferers find they don’t have to get up and go as often at night when they’re taking melatonin.

Putting Melatonin to Work for You

If you’re over 50, you should think about supplementing with melatonin. There has been no evidence to tarnish its perfect safety record.

I recommend a small anti-aging dose of 0.5 mg at night. For jet lag, take 1 mg for every time zone crossed.
 
If you have cancer, I recommend a much higher "antioxidant dose" of 20 to 40 mg every night before bed. Of course, be sure to discuss this with your doctor first.

You can find melatonin in most health food stores and vitamin shops. It comes in tablet, liquid, and spray form. 
[Ed. Note: It is entirely possible to get a full, restful night's sleep without worrying about scary side effects from sleep aids. Dr. Al Sears - who has been working with sleep disorders for years - has come up with a quick, easy, and natural way for you sleep soundly each night. Sleep better than you have in years.

Sleeping well is one key to staying healthy. In fact, you can improve your health just by making a few simple changes to your diet and lifestyle. Learn how to feel better and live longer right here.]

Copywriting Is Colorblind

By Carline Anglade-Cole

I’ve gotten dozens of letters from aspiring copywriters wanting to know if it’s harder for African-Americans, women, or other minorities to break into the copywriting biz. 

I can tell you for a fact, I’ve never had an experience where I didn’t get the assignment because of my race or sex. But… I have had the reverse happen: being chosen for a project because I am a minority. 

In my humble opinion, choosing to hire or not select a copywriter based on those standards is just plain ole stupid. Here’s why… 

You know the magazine Essence? It’s the epitome of today’s Black Woman. Guess who had the control for that promo for decades? If you said a 50+-year-old white guy named Bill Hebden - you’d be right! 

What about one of the most successful promos for Health Wisdom for Women - a health newsletter for menopausal women? Would you ever in your right mind think that Clayton Makepeace could be so in tune with his feminine side? 

Or what about another successful promotion that helps men over 50 "get busy" in bed? Would you guess it was yours truly? 

In fact, most of the health copy I write is targeted at 50-something white guys. Last time I looked, I was neither! But you know what? I may not be the market - but I sure as heck know the market! 

And that’s what you need for a successful promotional package: a copywriter who understands the market and can pull the heart and purse strings of your prospects to rake in the sales. 

So whether white, black, red, blue, or anything in between - a smart marketer doesn’t care. He just needs to hire a writer who can get the job done!

[Ed. Note: Master the skill of marketing, and you'll never again want for money. It's easy to learn - especially when you get the inside scoop from two guys who know more about marketing than anyone on the planet. Get the details here.

Simplify Your Life: Order Out of Chaos

By Judith Strauss

You build a pile of rocks, and it collapses because it was a bit unbalanced. The way the rocks end up on the ground may appear to be random. But a mathematician would tell you there’s an underlying natural order at work here - something that can be replicated, and explained, by "chaos theory."

Chaos theory is an attempt by scientists to understand why it’s difficult to predict the way dynamical systems (systems that change over time) will turn out. And why, when you try to impose a particular organization upon a dynamical system that is inconsistent with its underlying nature, it just doesn’t work.

Chaos theory has been applied to everything from the weather to music to psychology to the stock market. Today, I’m going to show you how to take advantage of it to efficiently organize the things you use every day.

Let’s start with your closet. Logic suggests that you should hang like things together. All shirts together. All slacks together. All jackets together… and so on. So that’s what you do. And what happens? Slowly but surely, order turns to chaos.

But wait. When you look closely, you see that the jumble that has evolved in your closet is not random. In fact, it makes sense in a very practical way. The clothes you wear most often have gravitated to the front. Tops and bottoms that you like to wear together are hanging next to or near each other. And the rest of your wardrobe has mysteriously disappeared into dark corners.

Now, on to the kitchen. Your spices are carefully arranged in a cabinet, maybe even alphabetically. Your oils and vinegars are grouped together in the pantry. Condiments - mustards, ketchup, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, etc. - occupy the same shelf in the refrigerator. Pots and pans, dishes, utensils - all neatly organized. How long does that last? Not very. But again, your favorites - the ones you use most - wind up in the most convenient spots.

Same thing happens with your reference books, your CDs, and your medicine cabinet. And that’s a good thing.

The idea is to allow the way things get used to dictate where they go.

I’ve been told that when a college campus or medical complex is being laid out these days, the designers wait until it’s been built before deciding where to put the sidewalks. Then they follow the pathways made by people walking between buildings. When they did it the other way around - putting the sidewalks where they thought they would function (and look) best - people made pathways in the grass anyway.

The trick is not to get hung up on aesthetics. Your closets, kitchen cabinets, bookcases, etc. may look like a mess, but who cares? How many people besides you ever see them?

So fight the urge to tidy things up and put them where they "belong," and you’ll end up with the most efficient way to organize your stuff. As a bonus, when the time comes to have a yard sale or put together a bundle to donate, everything you know you really should get rid of will be right there - neatly collected in the back of your closets and the deep recesses of your cabinets and shelves.

It’s Good to Know: Self-Repairing Aircraft

Tiny holes and cracks (the result of wear and tear or flying debris) appear on airplanes all the time, often during flight. A new material being developed by scientists at Bristol University in England will immediately fix that damage by itself. Mimicking the way a scab forms on your skin when it’s scratched or cut, "veins" filled with epoxy resin automatically "bleed" to fill any holes or cracks (though not major damage).

So far, the technology works only with aircraft made with fiber-reinforced polymer composites - a material that is becoming popular in planes, as well as in cars and spacecraft.

Word to the Wise: Invective

"Invective" (in-VEK-tiv) - from the Latin for "to inveigh against" - is insulting or abusive language.

Example (as used by Leonard Garment in In Search of Deep Throat): "One evening John Mitchell, slightly in his cups, let loose at [Judy] Whalen with a mess of invective about writers, their inflated notion of their importance to political campaigns, and the need to keep them in their place."
