Traders also speculate on the direction of stocks in the emerging and developed worlds.

Dynegy: The announcement by Blackstone Group that it was making a $4.50 a share bid for the power generating company created a groundswell of demand for shares in Dynegy, which rose 60% to just pennies short of the deal price. Options volume quickly eclipsed the overall reading of open interest at Dynegy when two tranches of 10,000 lot call options were scooped up by speculators wondering whether there was more upside juice for its stock price. An investor had no second thoughts in paying 50 cents for 10,000 calls expiring in September granting the investor buying rights at a fixed $4.00 per share.

Since the Pimco Total Return ETF was launched on March 1, it has had a return of 4.14%, while the mutual fund version has had a return of 1.17%. The Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, the traditional benchmark for intermediate-term bond funds, has returned 0.03% over the same time period.

The secret to the ETF’s success is simple. At a little over $800 million, the ETF is free to invest in Mr. Gross’ best ideas and only those while the mutual fund, with $258 billion in assets, is forced to invest more broadly.

It’s a high-conviction portfolio, said Scott Burns, director of ETF research at Morningstar Inc.

The smaller size of the ETF also allows it to trade more opportunistically with single issues, Mr. Burns said.

A multifamily home has several units that can generate income and bring cash every month. Repair cost per unit is lesser compared to a one single unit that needs repairs and maintenance so, no worries if you dont have a job. Since there will be more investors who are going after single family homes, this could raise the prices of homes to the point that you cant get anything from them because they are too expensive..

Investors believe that Phoenix Homes for Sale are the types of investment that brings them where they want to go in the shortest amount of time. You too can start investing in multifamily homes. Lets see why a building designated to house more than four families could be one of the fastest paths to building wealth.

If you have three over four units occupied, the empty unit could not make a big difference in your cash flow.

With almost every single purchase we answer a question (consciously or subliminally):

What is the most convenient option?

It has become second nature.

If our purchasing power doesnt afford us the luxury of modern conveniences, then what good is it?

Why am I working fing 60 hours a week to buy a less convenient option?!

Most of the time, the question itself is what prompted the pursuit of the purchase in the first place.

Why wouldnt we opt for convenience?

• Why ride a bike 2 miles to work and deal with sweat when you could drive in a nice air-conditioned vehicle?
• Why hard boil an egg when you can buy a fancy egg cooker for $30 that will do it in one less minute?
• Why use a hand crank can opener when you can buy an electric that does it without you having to move your fingers?
• Why learn how to cook when you can buy pre-made food from others?
• Why add razor blades to your grocery list when you can get them mailed to you monthly?
• Why refill an ink cartridge when you could just buy a new one?
• Why teach yourself how to drive a manual transmission car when there is automatic version?
• Why look up a recipe on how to unclog a sink with baking soda and vinegar when you could buy a jug of toxic chemicals and just dump it down the drain and be done with it?
• Why patch or sew up the article of clothing when you can buy a new one?
• Why use a push-reel mower that may require you to go over some spots twice when you could buy a gas-powered monster to take care of it in one pass?
• Why car-pool to work when you have your own car and no patience to wait for others?
• Why borrow a tool from a neighbor when you could add it to your buy list?
• Why think or learn of a clever way to solve a problem when you can simply buy something that solves it for you?
• Why make the trip to borrow free cds, books, and dvds from the library when you could have it shipped directly from Amazon to your doorstep?
• Why learn how to homebrew when you could buy your own beer?
• Why wait for your desired item to show up on Craigslist when you could get it NOW.
• Why learn how to do something on your own when you could have someone else come in and do it for you?
• Why turn off the lights or unplug the vampire appliance, when you could just sit on your ass instead?

you get the idea.

Is Convenience Really all that Convenient?

A funny thing occurred to me as I was creating the above list of modern conveniences.
