Health Insurance For Safety

By J. D Theis

Safety with regard to our health is one of the factors that determines our satisfaction in life. In an era where cases of cancer, diabetes, blood pressure and heart attacks are getting ever so often, and the treatment charges are reaching great heights, the common man has to think of measures that will help him avail the best of the medical facilities without too much of a problem. No individual wants to live a life of pain, added to it, the guilt of burdening the family with the treatment charges.

Health insurance policies are designed exactly for this purpose. They come as a sense of relief for those who understand how much they can help in the long run. There are also many options in the health insurance itself. Some cover only the basic charges and the rest will have to be borne by you as out-of-pocket charges. Some others will cover just every aspect of the treatment like the hospital charges, the charges for surgery, the charges for physiotherapy and many more. One has to be wise while making the choice of the policy at the beginning itself.

Keeping the number of options in mind and the number of companies that are offering each of these options, it is good to spend some time on comparing each of these so we can arrive at the best decision and make the best use of our money. Once decided on, you can pay the amount for the policy and get coverage for the whole year. At the end of the year, you again have the option of continuing with the policy for the next year, or opting out of it if you want to change your policy.

The health insurance companies will give you a list of hospitals that they have a tie up with. If you avail your treatment in one of the hospitals mentioned in the list, the payment can be made effortlessly through a cashless scheme. Basically, there are two ways that the bill amount can be paid namely the conventional scheme where you pay the amount a get the money reimbursed and the cashless scheme.

In the case of the former, the payment will have to be made by the individual, but he must procure all the bills for which he has paid. These bills are sent for approval to the insurance company which will reimburse the cash to your account. Another hassle free method is to get the insurance company and the hospital settle the bill. For this you will need to inform the insurance company before hand and also you must have enrolled yourself in one of the hospitals that they have a tie up with. - 23211

Australian Stock Exchange

By Michael Kaufmann

With the implementation of SEATS, a totally electronic trading system, the Australian stock market offers streamlined execution of orders. There are no market makers for ordinary shares, nor are there stop loss orders. Investors trade directly with each other. With an all-electronic system there are fewer delays, and this is good news for investors.

This is a very enterprising venture for the Internet stock trader, as the brokers usually place the investor directly in touch with the system, sans credit checks. Online trading has been robust recently, especially with the introduction of trading bots and tools available to the budding stock option trader. And since the days are long gone when a call system was used in the stock trading scenario, which included chalkies, or exchange employees that would write on the boards with chalk to indicate a company or broker being called into bidding.

As a result, new kinds of investors have taken an interest in investing in the Australian stock market. To help these new investors learn how to buy and sell stocks, the Australian Securities Exchange provides a mock trading game called Sharemarket, which gives players $50,000 in play money to invest. While the game is particularly popular with students, it is open to anyone who would like to participate, and is an ideal way for future traders to learn how the stock exchange functions.

The ASX has become what is now called the Australian Association Stock Exchanges. The ASX has been around since the late 1800s, and over the past 100 years, has become the large exchanger that it is today. The ASX has the power to police other stock companies, but it cannot be police its own company. The company is publicly owned. The ASX has limited its share owners to only being able to invest up to 15% in the company.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commissions or also known at the ASIC, regulate the small shares, the ASX does trade in the market. The Ministry can also be involved in the conditions related to the ASX licensing and operating rules.

There are many companies that talk about and give advice on how to follow the Australian stock market and its stock indices, the S&P, or better known as the Standard and Poor list. The S&P joins the ASX in maintaining the stock index lists. These are lists comprised of the S&P/ASX 300, 200, 100, 50, and the top S&P/ASX 20 lists. One such trading investor company is the Intelligent Investor, a company of investing experts that are ready to give one-on-one expert advice and guidance to their members. They offer a free trail membership with a 100% money-back guarantee, and includes independant advice given out in English. - 23211

Different Options For Individual Insurance

By J. D Theis

Insurance is something that not all of us can afford to have since it is something that requires people to have a proper job in a reputed company. However, for the rest of us who dont have jobs in companies that offer these kinds of insurance, it becomes important to make sure that we can have insurance of our own from some private party outside. Therefore, it is crucial to know all the different options that an individual has before venturing out into the market to get insurance of your own. There are a couple of things that one needs to look after to ensure that they dont end up with something overly expensive or unaffordable as their insurance options.

IT must be remembered that getting individual insurance is still costlier than being a part of the group insurance. If you have been recently terminated from your job, it is still possible to have health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). With COBRA, it is possible to continue enjoying health benefits from an employer for a short period after you have been removed from your job by the employer. It is beneficial o make use of this if you are temporarily not covered by any insurance and can get some protection later on from another job.

However, not all of us qualify under COBRA. For the rest of us, it is possible to get coverage on our own. For individuals who are over 50 years of age, you need to remember that getting insurance is much harder than for the younger people. You might have to go in for tests to confirm that you are healthy to ensure that you are insurable. Even if it does work out and you are insurable, the chances of getting insurance are still pretty slim and might involve a lot more money that you might actually think it will cost you.

A few other people opt to go in for high risk pools. This is a pretty innovative way of getting insurance and can help you save money as well. If all else fails, this is one method that is guaranteed to get you health insurance, even if you have a serious medical condition.

Most states have high risk pools and one should opt for it only if they find out that other insurance programs cost more than high risk pools or have been declined insurance altogether by the other available programs. - 23211

Are Automated Expert Advisors (EAs) Worth Considering?

By Ash Naeck

If you are familiar with Forex, I bet this is one of those questions that got your brain juices running.

My early days of trading were spent searching the net for the best Expert Advisor out there. I got caught up in this never ending search for the "holy-grail" trading system and believe me I wasted a lot of time and money in the process. I wish I could go back in time and change some of the decisions I made but you learn from your mistakes and as long as you do not repeat those same mistakes again you are on the right track.

Why use Expert Advisors?

Below are some of the main reasons why traders are attracted to Automated Expert Advisors:

- No emotion involved

- No sitting in front of the PC the whole day long looking for the right set-up

- More time to relax

- Easy to install and use

- Easy to use

- No need for experience

- No experience required

As a trader, those are the benefits you will be exposed to having an Expert Advisor trading on auto-pilot. Those are great features indeed but not so great when you take into account the negative side of it. The fact is that more that often Expert Advisors do not deliver on their original promise leaving your trading capital in ruin.

If you've already done some research I doubt you will be surprised if I told you that there are thousands of automated currency providers on the net. They all seem to perform extremely well when you have a look at their performance page. Here are some of their most common sales pitches:

- Make money on autopilot - No experience required

- Robot with a 98% success rate

- Make a daily $500 on autopilot

- Quit your job and make a killing with this robot.

If all these were true we would all be filthy rich by now and I wouldn't have spent thousands of dollars on useless Expert Advisors that do not work. The reality is that most of those expert advisors are in plain English B.S. The chance of you losing money is much higher than you making money.

If you are reading this article then consider yourself as one of the lucky ones. Do not get me wrong and am definitely not bragging here, I am simply sharing with you the experience I have had, personally, over those 5 years of trading. I am one of the few who will tell you that 98%+ of the Expert Advisors available on the net simply do not work. If they did work don't you think those major financial corporations would use those systems instead of relying on their FX traders?

The fact is that banks and the big institutions rely heavily on their currency traders to take advantage of the Forex market. They understand that the currency market is way too unpredictable and volatile to allow a robot to be in control. Market conditions change all the time and the only way to adapt to those changes is to have a human mind in control. A robot for instance cannot bend the rules and thus does not cope well if conditions of market changes violently.

Forex robots are many a time designed my mathematicians or engineers who believe they cracked the code to Forex trading. Well no offence to them but if they have already cracked the code, why am I still not profitable. You see the nature of the Forex market is such that changes in market conditions cannot be predicted. This is due to news, catastrophes, political changes etc Do you believe those robots can take all those changes into account?

The following are some of the major points you need to clear out if you are thinking of purchasing a Forex robot:

- Is the developer a successful Forex Trader (make sure he is well-known and has authority in the Forex arena)

- Has the system been tested on a live account? If yes what are the monthly returns.

- Live track record of the system (no back testing only live accounts)

- What is the maximum risk exposure?

- Maximum draw-downs on each trade.

If all the above questions check out okay then you got yourself a winner.

In my early days, I spent a considerable amount of money searching for the right expert advisor. To cut a long story short I ended up with less money than what was promised by the people selling those robots. I hit rock bottom at that stage and nearly gave up on those so called Expert Advisors when a veteran trader I knew advised me to try a product designed by a guy named Ashkan bolour.

I knew nothing about Ashkan Bolour at this point. I researched the net for more information and learnt that he was a highly successful money manager who was well respected in the Forex world. He had featured in many trading books and had become quite an authority in the foreign exchange arena. I decided to try his product after seeing the nice monthly returns he had on his live accounts.

Well the results were quite amazing. It was not a system making 500% or even 100% return each month but it was making some very consistent profits with small draw-downs. If ever you are looking for a proven system backed by consistent profit made on live accounts, Ashkan Bolour's system, the FXprofit Mountain is a must. - 23211

Finding The Right Solicitor

By Simon P Jennings

A legal advisor deals with the legal issues of the client by giving suitable legal advices, but is not responsible for the activities inside the court. In the UK, the role of a legal advisor and that of a barrister is well defined. The barrister has the responsibility to conduct the proceedings of court on behalf of client. Therefore, the proceedings inside the court are the product of the efforts made by both the lawyers. On the other hand, the role of the legal advisor and barrister is not defined properly in several countries.

Nowadays, there are several ways to resolve a legal matter without going to court. A solicitor helps you in understanding the matter and also gives you the suitable advice to resolve it. The guidance of solicitor is necessary including divorce, establishing a business, personal injury claim, and other financial issues in several issues.

It is the duty of a solicitor to coordinate with their clients, give them suitable advices, and carry out the discussions, and preparation of the client for legal proceedings are also a part of solicitor's duty. However, a solicitor cannot conduct the court proceedings on behalf of the client as a lawyer. It is also the duty of a solicitor to help the client to the maximum.

In England and Wales, the solicitors are part of the Law Society of England and Wales. Other representing bodies are The Solicitors Regulation Authority and the Legal Complaints Service.

In order to find the right solicitor, one has to keep certain issues in mind. It is better to hire a solicitor who represents a well-reputed law firm as that would guarantee good legal services. Secondly, it would be helpful to find a solicitor who specialises in the particular area of law that you need help with. Location is also essential, as it is better to hire a solicitor that you can visit easily. Nowadays, it is also easy to find solicitors that can speak languages other than English, or are expert in the laws of areas outside the UK.

Finding a solicitor is not a difficult task anymore, as it can now simply be done over the internet. The easiest way for people in the UK is to log on to the website of the Law Society of England and Wales, or of Ireland, and find solicitors depending on specific requirements, such as location or area of expertise.

There are also many websites, which allow the users to search for solicitors that suit their needs. Once the name and contact information is attained, a meeting can be set up with the solicitor. In this way, the entire process becomes less time-consuming, and effortless.

It is the responsibility of a solicitor to satisfy the client. Otherwise, client can put forward complaint against him to the Legal Complaint Service. - 23211
