Remember: Planet Wealth allows you to change your subscription to any other strategy at any time, without penalty or cost, should you decide another strategy is more suitable for your risk profile.

The AllOrds and the S&P500 were both up again for the month of May and the trend to date seems to be continuing through to June. We may have seen the worst of it but we are still not convinced the global economy is out of the recession. However, we believe with our portfolio approach to risk and diversification amongst strategies we will see some good profits. That strength of diversification is starting to demonstrate itself with the results we are strating to see and we think that some of the losses from 2008 will start to be recouped over the coming months.

Collars: Renting AU Shares

A solid month for Renting AU Shares and Renting US Stocks.

We achieved 7% return for the month and all up we are showing a Cumulative Gross Return of $9,700 or almost 14% return on our total capital.

Our portfolio in the US has recovered from some of the earlier losses and for the month of June we achieved a return of almost 4%. We are getting closer to break-even, and looking forward to catching up over the coming months.

Refer to the detailed spreadsheets for further information.

Option Spreads

As mentioned, we were taken by surprise by the resilience of the financial sector in April, which resulted in our account being down slightly overall. The biggest surprise was CBA, however we stuck to our view and rolled that trade to May and ended up breaking even on that trade. We have a couple of nice trades on for June and expect this account to recover quickly.

Share Purchase Plans

There is plenty of action in the area of SPPs at the moment. One small realised profit for May with a ROI of 7% but plenty of potential for June.

Remember the subscription to SPP’s is FREE if you join the HC Securities AutoTrader service. We use A$20,000 so that we can participate in several trades at a time, but you only need a few thousand to participate in one. That makes this a great, low risk, high return portfolio – even for those with small banks.

What are E Mini’s?
An E Mini is simply one type of Futures Contract that can be traded on Global Markets. In actual fact the S&P500 E Mini is the only type on contract that we trade.

What is a Future?
A future is just a shortened version of the term “futures contract”. It is essentially a legally binding contract to buy or sell a commodity for a special price at a predetermined time in the future.
If you Buy a futures contract, it means you promise to pay the price of the asset at a specified time.
If you Sell a futures contract, you effectively make a promise to transfer the asset to the buyer of the future at a specified price at a particular time.

Key Elements to Futures Contracts
All Futures contracts are made up of the following elements:

  • A Buyer
  • A Seller
  • A fixed expiry date in the future
  • A pre-agreed price between the buyer and the seller at the time of the trade

So it’s really just a legally binding contract to buy or sell a specific commodity, such as gold,soybeans,wheat or euro currency, at a particular date in the future at an agreed price.

My youngest of 6 children, David, is now nearly 4 years old. I want to show you a part of a recent letter we received from a GP regarding David, so you can get an idea of what he has:

“David was noted at birth to have a hairy lump at the top of his skull. He had brain imaging at around 1 year of age and this suggested that the lump was an atretic meningocele. It also showed agenesis of the corpus callosum, some abnormal collections of nerve cells in one part of the brain and abnormal position of some of the large brain veins.

David has significant development delay and hypotonia. His general health has been good.

In summary, David has evidence of abnormal neural tube closure (the atretic meningocele) and abnormal brain development (agenesis of the corpus callosum, neuronal heterotopia, abnormal anatomy of the tentorium and abnormal anatomy of large brain veins).”

Now, I did not actually realize how much of an impact such a statement could have on a parent until I received this letter, which is almost 3 years after these initial tests and diagnosis was done. All those words are quite long and scary and would suggest a handicapped child at the very least.

However, I paint a different picture. Although he can not speak the way other 4 year old’s can; although he can not walk quite the same way other 4 year old’s can; for some reason, he still understands me.

For example, even way back before he was two years of age, he fully understood the word ‘no’. To illustrate this, I was watching my wife play netball, and minding David at the same time (this is before David was even two). As there were other kids and plenty of noise, I let him walk around a bit. At any time he got too close to the court, I said ‘no’, and he would simply stop and turn around. After a few times, he learned not to even get too close. A simple example of a child learning something.

At the same time another child who would have at least been 4 if not 5 was uncontrollable. This child was your typical 4 or 5 year old when it came to talking and walking (well, more like running around and screaming), and nothing the parents did or say would stop this child. The child had no respect for the parents, and it was obvious the parents didn’t care about this fact one bit either.

There is no excuse for not giving your child both discipline and love, and I don’t believe you can have one without the other. On the other hand, it can be quite easy for parents with a child who is obviously a lot slower in their development, and has risks of long term neural issues, to be wrapping them up in cotton wool and even throwing things like discipline out the window…but not me, no way! And I’ll tell you why.

Kids need discipline no matter what because not only does help them with structure, guidance, boundaries and building inner strength, it demonstrates something about the parents too. Kids are going to imitate the parents regardless of their learning abilities, and if you are not firm, how on earth can that help them. You are the shining light for your children, the guidance, the god, the highway, the map, the example, the hero, the inspiration, and all parents should realize this.

Our kids need us more than ever right now and it is high time we pulled ourselves out of this dependant mind set and stop blaming the world for our problems. I don’t care if Obama is the saviour, why on earth do we need saving anyway? Because we have become too dependant on others for our well being and we are teaching our children to do the same thing.

I hope this inspires you to rethink the way you look at life if you feel like you need saving.

All the best

Positive Thoughts and the Law of Attraction are two things that naturally go hand in hand. This is a concept that I have never really understood. Of course I knew that by having positive thoughts, then the laws of the Universe would allow positive things to happen to me. That’s fine and it makes sense. But the problem was that I had never really found success. At least not to the level that I wanted it to be. I had been punching away at strategy after strategy, trying to make a success of myself, but nothing ever really clicked. The pressure that I was putting on myself to succeed was so great that I thought it would never happen. These types of Negative Thoughts then just brought me down and down and before I knew it, I was feeling depressed and was ready to give up. I just couldn’t be bothered to do anything about it.

I could see that the problem was caused by my emotions and I knew that the only way to get out of this spiraling depression was by reprogramming my mind. I was completely at the affect of my emotions and it was rapidly turning into a vicious circle.

I guess it was something like this:Depression Image

  • NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
  • CREATED NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
  • CREATED NEGATIVE ACTIONS
  • CREATED NEGATIVE EVENTS
  • CREATED  MORE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS

So when I looked at this process and understood how it worked, it became blindingly obvious to me that by the laws of Yin and Yang and Every Action Having An Equal And Opposite Reaction, I thought that if it works with negative thoughts then it should also work with Positive Thoughts. By starting with Positive Thoughts, I would start to take Positive Action and this would eventually lead to Positive Results. Positive Results makes me feel really good and so the cycle starts again. Snowballing into a sequence or Lifetime of Success. By the natural Law Of Attraction, I am creating my own success. I guess the sequence should really look like this:

  • POSITIVE THOUGHTS
  • CREATE MORE POSITIVE EMOTIONS
  • CREATES POSITIVE EVENTS
  • CREATES POSITIVE ACTIONS
  • PRODUCES MORE POSITIVE THOUGHTS

I often wonder what makes some people “LUCKY” and others “UNLUCKY”. A lot of people have said to me over the years that I am one of those “lucky people” and that “good things always happen to me“. Well now I beg to differ. I now realize that it is our Positive Thoughts and our belief in the Natural Law of Attraction, that create our “Luck”. I’m not one of the lucky ones. I’ve just learnt the process of Reprogramming the Mind For Success.

Happy People

Positive Thoughts, lead to Positive Actions, which produce Positive Results.

Reprogramming The Mind For Success

We and the machine…how close are we?

One of the things I explain in my new and upcoming book (current program owners will receive this free as an upgrade) is the organic cycle within us all, the name I give to the process by which we are kept in our comfort zones. I realized how the process was almost a mirror image of the machine.

In summary, the organic cycle involves three main systems, the brain, the body and the senses and how they interact through the use of smaller systems within each of these main three. The machine is the same in that it involves three main systems, the fuel, the mechanical process or purpose and the operations.

If we look at each of the three main systems for people and machines we can draw some interesting parallels.

First of all, we can look at the mechanical purpose of a machine. It doesn’t matter what machine you use, whether it’s a coffee machine or a crane, it has a primary purpose that is mechanical in nature. This mechanical process however must be put in motion by some sort of trigger, whether it is by humans using switches and levers or from senses that sense that a mechanical process needs to be put in motion (i.e. the air conditioner and the thermostat). Then we have the fuel that all machines need in order to run be it electricity, gas, oil etc.

So let’s look at the human being and the organic cycle.

We are almost purely mechanical by nature. That is, we react to things in life with behaviours where the behaviour itself (the reaction) is triggered by the event, and the same events always cause the same reactions. This in itself makes it very hard to deny our mechanical nature. But don’t be alarmed, it is a survival mechanism built into us.

Then we have our senses which we can clearly see are part of the triggering process (although not all of it which you’ll learn shortly). Through our eyes, ears, nose etc, we process the environment and react accordingly.

So the difference here between a coffee machine and us, is simply that a coffee machine has one mechanical process, and we have many, and the coffee machine has switches and we have senses.

So let’s look at the fuel.

Well for us the fuel is emotions. Some may think that motivation and drive etc are the fuel but not from the point of view of organic cycle, it is emotions that fuel the organic cycle, the comfort zone, for emotions are simply chemical reactions involving the brain (the producer) and the body (the receiver), and this completes the organic cycle.

When we curse at someone in traffic (just as an example) we are reacting in a mechanical way to an event picked up through our senses that triggers the emotions to fuel the behaviour, and we do this all day every day.

Now let me go one step deeper. If we return to the machine, the machine only operates for as long as it is needed to operate, and what I ask you determines this? Motivation and drive! Machines are operated for the purpose of creating a benefit to the user, and that is us. Whether it is for the satisfaction of a great cup of coffee or from the profits made from building a skyscraper, it is all the same. There is a benefit to be had and the more a machine is run, the more benefit is being had.

And where is the parallel here for us beings? It is addiction! For our organic cycle, our comfort zone, our personalities, our beliefs, our results in life, our reactions and our behaviours are all motivated by addiction, and the addictions are to our emotions, or to be more precise, the chemicals produced in the brain that create these emotions and hence feelings (the feelings are the product of the body receiving the chemicals).

Now a machine does not become addicted to its fuel, so there the similarity ends, but the operator of the machine has a very real motive, and so do our addictions to our emotions. I said earlier that the senses are only part of the triggering process, because our addictions are a major factor in triggering reactions. For example, someone who always appears irate is subconsciously and constantly seeking events to fuel the addiction to the chemicals produced from being irate. If the senses can’t find it in the immediate environment, the next step is to trigger memories that will do the same job as memories will trigger emotions.

If we want to create a more fulfilling life we have to step back and observe our reactions and see them for what they are, simply addictions. We are running around trying to make a cup of coffee using a crane or a photocopier and it simply will not work. We are using the wrong mechanical processes and emotions in our everyday lives because we are not aware of what is motivating them in the first place. If you want to have an enjoyable day, does it really serve you to curse all and sundry when you stub your toe as soon as you get out of bed?

Visit our home page at www.reprogrammingthemind.com if you haven’t already and get our free ebook, video and 6 part series on the science behind the law of attraction. If you have already gone through this then you might want to consider purchasing our program at www.reprogrammingthemind.com/Course.html. Our program and online group and forum are two major tools to help you use the right processes to creating a more successful life rather than being run like a machine.

WOW. What an awesome meditation this one is. This week we are focusing on Emotions in Mindfullness Meditation which I have to say is one of my favorite topics. Once again we are concerned with our breathing and body position, but this time I had to ask myself how I am feeling. At first I recognized that I was feeling sadness which was such a strong emotion. But I wanted to look to see if there was anything else there. And there was. There was a part of me that was happy as well. The thing is, it depended which emotion I was focusing on, which then dictated my mood. This may sound a little strange, but let me explain a bit more. So where was I?

I was sitting in a 3rd class sleeper carriage on a train that must have been built in the 1960’s. I’m on Sakhalin Island in Eastern Russia and I’m trying to get to the north of the Island. It’s 3am and I can’t sleep so I decide that now would be a great time to meditate. So, I sit up check my posture and begin to breathe. At first I am overcome by sadness. I’m on the other side of the world from the United Kingdom and I really miss my family already. My beautiful wife and 3 lovely children are all at home wondering why I have to go away for another six weeks. Then the conversations start. Why am I doing this, I should be at home, 5 days to get to work is rediculous, I’m so tired already and I haven’t even started work yet. My mind was wondering all over the place, but as soon as I became aware of it, I would come back to my breathing again. And this is where I was able to notice a different emotion. When I really thought about it (which I probably shouldn’t have been doing because that is a distraction in itself) I realized, “hey, take a look at where you are right now”. Your traveling all over the world, I have an exciting job, I’m providing for my family and at the end of the day, life is pretty good. It could certainly be a lot worse.Yet I find it so easy to dwell on the negative influences of my life. Surely, this little meditation session is a great introduction to the power of emotions and how they affect my outlook on life. Hmmm.

So is this one of the important parts of reprogramming my mind for success? Recognizing my emotions and focusing on the ones that benefit me the most. I wonder?????

I cant wait for the next session. This is so good.

Until then, take care.

Yours sincerely,

Stuart Ginbey

Search Engine Submission

Have you submitted your site to the relevant Search Engines? Once you have a website or blog set up, it is important to make it easy for the search engines to discover. One way of doing this is by Search Engine Submission and it’s important to do this as soon as possible. The reason I say this is because it can take up to 8 weeks for the submission to be approved. There are also quite a few search engines these days so it is important to think about your target audience. By this I mean whether it is geographically targeted. If you have a product or website that is only relevant to  a UK audience then you might want to look at submitting your site to local directories like google.co.uk or yahoo.co.uk. You can even go one step further by submitting your site to search engines in your area (like somersetsearch or netlondon).

Here is a quick look at some of the most popular Search Engine Submission directories.

google90.11% of Global Internet Searches

Google has a well deserved reputation as ‘THE’ Search Engine of choice by most people on the net. There are many reasons for this, which range from it’s stability and relevancy of it’s crawler-type searches, to it’s features and applications which make it a joy to use.

5.77% of Global Internet Searches

Launched in 1994, Yahoo is considered one of the ‘oldest’ Directories on the web today. There are two main fetures that we wolud like to bring to your attention regarding Yahoo. These are:

Yahoo Search-http://search.yahoo.com/

This is a FREE listing where you can submit your site to Yahoo. You can also setup RSS Feeds so that new content is automatically submitted. All sites will require authorization by either uploading a file to your server or adding a ‘META NAME’ to the Header Template in your Appearance Editor Script (wordpress.org).

Yahoo Directory-http://dir.yahoo.com/

This is a PAID subscription to the Yahoo Directory and is highly regarded throughout the Professional Internet Marketing World..

1.48% of Global Internet Searches

Live Search, formally known as Windows Live Search is Microsofts Search Engine designed to compete in the major league against Google and Yahoo.

Some other popular directory’s to submit to:

All The Web

AOL

HotBot

Altavista

Gigablast

Looksmart

Lycos

Netscape

DMOZ

So what you need to do now is go and submit your Site URL (Domain Name) to each and everyone of these Directories. This will make your site more visible and by using your Search Engine Submission, will Increase it’s ‘Spiderability’.
