31 августа 2023 года

От имени Правительства Соединенных Штатов Америки я поздравляю народ Узбекистана, который празднует День независимости страны 1 сентября.

На протяжении 32 лет партнерство между США и Узбекистаном строилось на общей приверженности независимости, суверенитету и территориальной целостности Узбекистана. В этот день мы отмечаем работу, которую мы проводим для укрепления этого стратегического партнерства, в том числе в таких ключевых областях, как содействие региональной безопасности, расширение экономических связей, укрепление связей между людьми и стремление защищать права человека. Узбекистан находится в центре прогресса Центральной Азии, и мы высоко оцениваем его приверженность региональному миру, процветанию и безопасности. Мы надеемся на дальнейшее развитие стратегического партнерства между Соединенными Штатами и Узбекистаном, поиск решений вопросов, представляющих взаимный интерес, и укрепление тесной дружбы и взаимного доверия между нашими двумя странами.

Передаю наилучшие пожелания народу Узбекистана в этот знаменательный день.

Good day fellow traders and welcome!

In case you don't know me, I'm Jeff Williams. I'd like to share my story about what drove me to become a stock market educator.

But, before I share the story I wanted to answer the question, why is this email coming from "beehive" now?

The short answer is we have been working hard here at RagingBull and Market Navigator to streamline some of our technical aspects so we can focus MORE time on YOU, our students and our main focus. So rest assured our "beehive" sender is indeed the correct sender for you here at Market Navigator.

Alright, back to my story that I know you're going to love!

I got started in the stock market at a young age. My parents always taught me to invest some of my paycheck into a retirement fund, even when I was just 16 years old. At the time I didn't understand but now I couldn't be more appreciative – you can see how my dad impacted me as we started a business together selling worms. Here is a photo back from 1988. Crazy how time flies but I used that money to help pay for part of my college education as well as save for retirement. Thanks Dad!

Fast forward a few years and I'm teaching in New York State, still with the strong desire to trade stocks, so I would try to trade during my breaks. This was difficult because my breaks were random.

After 12 years of teaching, as much as I love working with kids, I knew I wanted to try something new.

My trading career really took off about 12 years ago when I started trading penny stocks and teaching traders just like you how I approached my trading day and my trades.

Trading penny stocks was a lot of fun, however, I noticed there were certain times of the year where volume would dry up. On top of that, I felt like my times of making the trades were very sporadic.

You see, in my opinion, stocks run randomly. They randomly drop news and you wake up to a stock moving up or down 50% or some other type of unknown reason would move the stock. I felt I couldn't really get an edge with this.

This is when I decided to make a change and since that change my success has dramatically improved.

So after years of trading stocks and getting frustrated with their lack of liquidity at various times of the year, I took a deep dive and changed the way I traded and the results have been dramatically different.

Was there a way to trade year round without worrying about random drops in liquidity, without worrying about if markets were up or down but more importantly, a SPECIFIC time of the day to trade?

I finally found my answer, trading options on the S&P 500 or SPY. The most liquid ETF out there. One ticker that tapped into the TOP 500 companies in the United States.

Markets up or down, it didn't matter because options give me the ability to trade in BOTH directions. (Click here to review all my SPY trades and you'll notice I'm making trades in all types of market conditions.)

Very quickly, Market Navigator was developed. A trading service that now focuses on my SINGLE HIGHEST CONVICTION trade idea between 9:30am and 10:30am.

A set time that 9-5 working traders could look for each and every day, then focus back on their busy schedule.

Each morning I study the world markets starting around 6am. I get a feel for how global markets and major economic new pieces could affect how the SPY could trade in the first hour of the day.

From here, I type up a 3-5 minute read email that I send directly out to members of Market Navigator. In the email it teaches trades what I see happening today and WHY I think markets will move up or down.

Then, most importantly, I conclude the email with my single highest conviction SPY "Trade of the Day" which includes the exact expiration date and strike price for either calls or puts that I plan to trade shortly after the market opens.

This email gets delivered at 8:45am each morning to their inbox. Plenty of time to take a look, learn and pull up my top trade idea for the day.

Then, at 9:25am, about 5 minutes before the markets open, I send an App alert to their phones detailing the exact trade I am about to make, just to confirm my email thesis. No guessing on what trade I am about to buy or sell! That's right, I do the exact same App alert process BEFORE I am about to sell as well.

My goal with my SPY "Trade of the Day" is to be in and out before 10:30am each morning.

For those that have extra time, they can join me in a live trading chat room to literally watch and listen to me as I prepare the trade, break down the options chain and then buy and sell the trade. This isn't required but it's a great learning opportunity when you have some spare time.

New to options? No worries, Market Navigator also has an extensive, on demand video library that you can use to watch short lessons on the most important topics I feel every trader should know.

Want even more trade ideas? No problem, our live trading chat room shares about 5-10 trade ideas per day with hundreds of members all over the world. The chat room atmosphere is welcoming, friendly and full of education.

If you've been struggling to find your trading direction, then I think Market Navigator could change the way you trade. I know it did for me and I'm confident it's helped members just like you feel more confident in their trading and sharpen their skills.

I look forward to teaching you more about the service very soon → please click this link to learn more about my quarterly and yearly options for Market Navigator!

Cheers

Australia Letter: An Australia-New Zealand merger?

Stranger things have happened.
LETTER 322

Could Australia and New Zealand Merge?

The Australia Letter is a weekly newsletter from our Australia bureau. This week's issue is written by Natasha Frost, a reporter in Melbourne.

Becoming a republic, legalizing same-sex marriage, changing the Constitution to establish an Aboriginal advisory body: To make these changes to Australian life requires — or has required — at least one nationwide vote.

Yet there is a far more dramatic step that could — but almost certainly will not — occur without any polling whatsoever: turning New Zealand into Australia's seventh state.

The idea was recently mooted in the valedictory speech of Jamie Strange, a departing Labour member of Parliament in New Zealand.

"Every time I visit Australia, I often ponder the thought, 'Will we ever become one country, Australia and New Zealand?'" he said last week, adding: "My personal view — and it's only a personal view — is that New Zealanders shouldn't rule that out."

(Among the benefits Mr. Strange listed was bringing the supermarket chain Aldi to New Zealand's shores. Integrating the country's cricket teams, he mused, might be a bridge too far.)

Speaking to the Australian news media this week, Barnaby Joyce, a former Australian deputy prime minister (and clandestine New Zealand citizen), acknowledged that such a change was unlikely to ever take place.

But, he said, "we might as well put it out there," adding: "The defense policy, monetary policy — we might even win a rugby game!"

In Section 6 of the Australian Constitution, drafted in 1900, New Zealand was listed as a potential Australian state. (Federation — when Australia's six states united to form the Commonwealth of Australia — took place on Jan. 1, 1901.)

Some years earlier, Australia had invited New Zealand to join the federation. For a variety of reasons, New Zealand declined.

John Hall, a former premier of New Zealand, cited distance as a deciding factor during a conference on federation in Melbourne, Australia, in 1890.

"Nature has made 1,200 impediments to the inclusion of New Zealand in any such federation in the 1,200 miles of stormy ocean which lie between us and our brethren in Australia," he said, adding: "Democratic government must be a government not only for the people, and by the people, but, if it is to be efficient and give content, it must be in sight and within hearing of the people."

Australians, for their part, thought New Zealand might change its mind. Speaking at the same conference, William McMillan, an Australian politician, expressed such a hope.

"I believe that," he said, "when public opinion has sufficiently penetrated New Zealand, even New Zealand, separated from this continent by 1,200 miles of water, will come into the Federation of the Australasian Colonies."

Geography was not the only consideration for New Zealand. Reporting earlier this year for an article about changes to citizenship rights for New Zealanders living in Australia, I spoke with Paul Hamer, a researcher at Victoria University of Wellington, about the two countries' historical relationship and their different approaches to race and migration.

"Australia wanted New Zealand to federate in 1901. It wanted to set up a racially discriminatory state — 'White Australia,'" he said. "New Zealand was hesitant because of its Maori population," and eventually chose to go it alone.

Those different approaches have reverberated across the decades. As my colleague Yan Zhuang wrote in last week's newsletter, Australians will have their say about Aboriginal representation in government in an Oct. 14 referendum. In New Zealand, a general election will take place on the same day — and Indigenous voters will, as they have since 1867, have the opportunity to vote in seven electorates that are reserved for Maori representatives.

There are plenty of other reasons such a merger doesn't make sense, including wildly different attitudes to nuclear power, migration and the economy.

So, all things considered, neither the All Blacks nor the Socceroos will need to worry about the intricacies of how to merge their rugby union and soccer teams with those of their rivals.

But that doesn't mean that some, in both countries, won't continue to ruminate on what might have been — and whether New Zealand should, as some economists suggest, simply import Australia's tax code wholesale.

And in the meantime, Australia might consider formally adopting a suggestion from the Australian comedian Celeste Barber, who in 2020 called on then-Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to rename Australia "West New Zealand."

Here are the week's stories.
