Forex Swing Trading: Make Money from Currency

Filed under General

Why trade foreign currencies instead of futures, stocks, options, or commodities? Why are so many people trading Forex at home? Can money really be made from Forex Swing trading? If so, just how profitable can Forex swing trading be for one who knows little – if nothing at all – of the market?

The Forex is the largest market in the world for a good reason. It works beautifully. With impeccable timing, sound knowledge of the market, eagerness to do Forex swing trading, and a nose for which trades generate profit and which ones don’t, you can easily double, triple, or even quadruple your cash outlay!

What makes the Forex such a good market for prospectors? For one, it’s a market with no structural biases, no restrictions on short selling. If you trade in the Forex, you can earn from both rising and falling markets. This means you can make money anytime in any time, regardless of the rise or fall of one country’s currency. Then, too, the Forex never sleeps. You don’t have to wait for the market to open. From where you sit at home, you can easily discover the latest movements in currencies and respond immediately and accordingly.

Bottomline, Forex trading gives traders – including you – the option to succeed financially. Why not work the market to your benefit? You can do it yourself or get the Forex Profit Hunter to do it for you. Either way you choose to do it, you can make money.

IRS Mileage Reimbursement 2008: Raised Again IF…

Filed under General

In July the IRs raised it’s mileage reimbursement rate a second time for the year. The new rate of $.585 affects all business travel through the end of the year. They also reissued a warning that they will be very closely monitoring how people are recording and justifying these miles.

Their publication #463, How to Prove Expenses clearly states "You cannot deduct amounts that you approximate or estimate." An IRS compliant mileage log would include your destination, miles traveled, and business purpose. While paper logs are still being accepted, IRS Publication 463 also says, “If you prepare a record in a computer memory device with the aid of a logging program, it is considered an adequate record.”

The potential benefit of this change for any business or individuals who travel for business are huge. For those who travel the most taking full advanatage of the IRS mileage allowance could mean thousands of dollars back in their pockets.

The rub is making sure you log all of your business miles the way the IRS wants you to. If you forget to record the odometer readings and try to guesstimate or approximate it later, you could risk losing your mileage reimbursement for all the trips you did record correctly if you are audited. That leads many people to underreport their business miles and leave money on the table that should rightfully be theirs.

From a business management perspective, accurating logging business miles has implications that go far beyond correct accounting and payouts. If employees are left to figure their own mileage and you accept whatever documentation they provide, you could not just come up short if your business is targeted for an IRS audit. You could be paying thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars for "fudged" reports.

Fortunately there are some more reliable means of collecting and managing your business mileage logs including a completely automated mileage logger that you plug in to your vehicle’s cigarette lighter and forget about. It’s a portable GPS enabled device that logs every mile your vehicle travels and transmits it to a secure online account for you.

This mileage logger is just one of the gas mileage calculators you need to help you measure, so you can manage rising cost of fuel. You can find more information on it at www.GasMileageCalculators.com
