Get More Bang for Your Buck With E-Minis

By Ted Peroulakis

Conventional buy-and-hold stock investing is not working in today’s market. Trading E-Minis is a great alternative, because you can take full advantage of the market’s volatility.

You can easily make money in a market that is going up or down. You can, for example, make a bundle if you go “long” or buy an E-Mini contract and the market goes up. And if you go “short” or sell an E-Mini contract, you can just as easily make money when the market goes down. This adds an entirely new dimension of opportunity for investors.

An E-Mini is an electronically traded futures contract on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) that represents a smaller version of a standard futures contract. E-Mini contracts are available on the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, S&P MidCap 400, and Russell 2000 indices. One example: The E-Mini S&P 500 futures contract is one-fifth the size of the standard S&P 500 futures contract.

E-Minis have a low margin requirement, which makes trading them easy and affordable. You can get started for as little as $500 per contract. And because standard stock and index options currently have high premiums due to market volatility, your leverage and profit potential is higher with E-Minis.

E-Minis allow investors with small amounts of risk capital to participate in the Dow and S&P 500 at a fraction of the cost of purchasing the actual stocks outright. You would have to pay thousands of dollars in commissions alone to buy all the stocks in the S&P 500, for example. But by buying an E-Mini S&P 500 futures contract, you can participate in all those stocks for a commission of less than $10!

Bottom line: Start trading E-Minis if you’re looking for an exciting, highly versatile, efficient, and economical way to capitalize on the daily swings in the stock market.

Finding Happiness and Hope in Tough Times

Feeling down because of the current state of the economy? Michael Masterson presented a simple way to overcome those feelings of despair in his article “Defeating Depression Before It Defeats You.” ETR readers took comfort in his words. Here’s some of what they had to say:

“I have always admired Michael’s writings & this is another needed message he has delivered. Thank you.”

S. Ford

“Thank you so much for your wonderful article. It was so very helpful and accurate. Self Esteem is exactly the crux of the problem.”

Luann C.

“Good article!

“I have been out of work for almost a year. I have no financial assets anymore, and I am 63 years old. But I work out every day, climb a mountain every weekend, and I have not given up looking for a job. Sure, lots of people would say a 63-year-old guy is not going to find a good job again. I say they are morons!

“Anyone in this predicament should stay active (exercise). Keep the blood pumping and maybe the brain will come up with a new idea.

“Over the course of the last year, I have learned so much more about business (Ready, Fire, Aim) and Internet marketing in particular that I just know it will pay off eventually.

“Thanks for continuing to inspire me!”

Bill M.

“Great Pep Talk!

“At 66, I’ve lost my retirement and nearly all of my savings. I am still hoping to do something productive. I am working on my AWAI copywriting program, and hope to finish next month. The bumps in life can be disturbing, but you have to keep going. Try to smile whenever you can. I find it helps!”
