Rollover And Expiration Days For Futures E-Mini Contracts
It just happened that September 1st, 2006, was a Friday. (And for those interested in historical trivia, September 1st, 1939, the day WWII started, was also a Friday.) Why am I talking about it? Because September is a rollover month for many futures contracts, including very popular stock index e-minis and whenever a rollover month starts on a Friday, a rollover day is on the first Thursday and not on the second one as is usually the case. I thought that pointing this out merits some attention.Here are some other facts about the rollover and expiration days. The latter is always on the third Friday of a rollover month. For the instruments we are most interested in, that is e-minis of the futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), the months in question are: March, June, September, and December

Information and Trust in Your Small Business
How much information is enough? That is the question that a recent blog post at INC Paradise prompted me to ask.The blog entry describes a survey done by Business Objects and highlights the fact that only 11% of workers claim they "always have all of the information that they need to confidently make decisions." What the entry does not note is that a full 49% - almost half of those surveyed - have enough information "often".This leaves me to wonder just how subjective the respondants were. All of the entries I found seem to believe there is a huge difference between 'often' and 'always'. And yet, honestly, when will you always have exactly what you need? More specifically, how long will it take you to gather all of that information? Ironically, the survey states "workers spend too much time verifying data", since in the US, we take an average of 1

Story Ideas, Find Them Here
If you ever find yourself stumped for a fiction idea, try one of these suggestions.Listen to music. Listen to the story. It’s okay to picture what the singer and songwriter have put out there for you, but let your imagination go further. For a country song about a great horse that died, imagine what other kinds of pets people might get attached to. What kind of cowboy would keep a ground hog in his pocket as a pet? How many tattoos would a girl have, if she really loved her pet lizard? What about working animals? I’d love to read a story about an adventurous blind woman mistakenly paired with a very prim Seeing Eye dog.Play with headlines. Don’t read the article, just see what kind of story your mind wants to create based on the title. “Shop Owner Slain by Bandit.” Would you care more about the bandit, the shop owner, or the o

How to Take Your Competitor's Customers
Growing your brand’s market share demands taking customers from the competitor’s camp meaning that you need to change a purchase behavior and break what may very well be a long-standing and habitual pattern. Change is the keyword and change is the key. It is not an easy thing to accomplish—nothing of great value ever is. Napoleon once said, “If the art of war were nothing but the art of avoiding risks, glory would become the prey of mediocre minds.”Too often, we are our own worst enemy. Because we lack the ability to look at our own business dispassionately, we deceive ourselves and begin to believe our own rhetoric. It is, after all, human nature to believe in those things that provide us with the greatest comfort. Victory belongs to those who are intellectually rigorous and are willing to challenge the core of their own business belie
