International Pricing - Dollars Or Local Currency?

2010-09-13T00:52:00.000-07:00

OK. So you are about to start selling your products into a new international market. You have already worked out your channel strategy and you've got your country distributor or your foreign based retailer lined up in your sights.All you need now is give them the prices and off you go.....

But wait a minute. You start thinking: "should I quote them prices in$US? It seems obvious that I should, all the rest of my business is in dollars, right? and they expect it don't they?"

Think again. While it may seem obvious to US companies that their prices should be quoted in $US, it is in fact not obvious at all. In some cases it might be the wrong decision. It is definitely worth giving serious thought to currency when giving your prices. So let's take a look at some of the issues involved in currency and also pros and cons of pricing your products in $US versus pricing your products in the local currency.

Pricing in $US Understand that if you are pricing a foreign customer in $US you are EXPECTING A LOT FROM THAT CUSTOMER. Firstly you are expecting them to manage the process of currency exchange to pay you. They have to work out how to do this with their bank if they have not done it before. Even if they have done it before, there are charges involved and they need to decide how to handle the variable nature of your products "cost of goods". Every time they buy from you it is likely to cost them something different. And this needs to be accounted for and tracked. In addition,you have made currency fluctuations their problem, not yours. To cope with this the customer may build in a 10-15% "adverse currency swing" factor: and when they do this, your price in that country just went up. If an international customer asked for a price and you said "well today it's 50 Euros but I let you know exactly how much when you come to pay me" you might think they would be a bit unhappy, but this is exactly what $US pricing means to an international customer.

Pricing in local currency The benefits of quoting in local currency for your international customers may not be totally obvious at first - but think about it. If I'm a retailer or distributor buying in my local currency I know exactly how much something will cost me. I don't have to build in any hedge factors for possible currency fluctuations, so my prices do not have to be so high. I don't have to have half an eye on the exchange rate all the time, I can spend more time on my business - selling product. I don't have to spend more money than I need on exchange charges from my bank. The biggest benefit is that I can create my price list for my customers secure in the margin I will make.

But of course, where there is Ying there is Yang. You, the supplier, have now assumed the currency fluctuation risk, uncertainty and the effort and costs associated with currency exchange

Situations where pricing in US Dollars is OK/desirable Some retailers and distributors that are already dealing with suppliers who quote them in $US should be quoted in $US. A lot of large Euro retailers for example are buying container loads of product direct from Chinese companies or companies that have Chinese manufacture. The majority of these large Euro retailers who receive "direct shipment from the Far East" are being quoted in $US anyway. As a result they are geared up for $US purchases and it poses no real issues for them to buy in $US from you.

Similarly some retailers may already be buying from the US in $US and are set up already to do business this way. You may come across companies that would like pricing from you in $US because they "like to play the currency markets". Be wary of these companies as they may lose focus on selling and become more interested in currency speculation but of course you may not have a choice! US in $US and are set up already to do business this way.

You may come across companies that would like pricing from you in $US because they "like to play the currency markets". Be wary of these companies as they may lose focus on selling and become more interested in currency speculation but of course you may not have a choice! China. The Chinese Yuan is not officially tied to the $US now but the Chinese government have been stabilizing the exchange rate for years. Quoting prices in $US in China is generally not a problem therefore and in many cases may be the preferred choice of Chinese customers.

If you are a small company, or possibly with limited human resources, you may have little choice but to quote prices in $US. You may not have the ability to assume the currency risk, the currency exchange costs and the effort needed to run pricing in local currency. If this is the case, so be it, but understand why you are doing it and always think about the alternative. Will making the effort to price in local currency pay off?

Situations where pricing in Local Currency is OK/desirable In one of my past assignments, I was helping a consumer electronics company develop their business with distribution partners in Europe. Pricing was in $US and the product was shipped directly from the company's Chinese based factory. It never ceased to irritate me how unnecessarily high my product's retail prices were in Europe and I could not figure out why. Careful analysis and research uncovered the fact that my distribution partners were adding a substantial factor for adverse currency fluctuations into their pricing. Plus a number of them were starting to enjoy the fruits and excitement of currency speculation! I decided to change the pricing structure to pricing in euros, not dollars. Over a period of 12 months I was able to change the focus back to "retail pricing to market" and able to agree a simple "formula" allowing pricing to be based on RRPs. On top of this, as a result of a bit of good luck, the currency went our way and we increased our average gross margins!

If your competition is selling in $US, local currency pricing can give you an edge. You are assuming currency risk, you are allowing the customer to focus on what they are good at, selling the product. You are taking away the stress of dealing with currency exchange.

Pricing in local currency can make ongoing price negotiation easy. With $US pricing, your customer can always use the vagaries of the currency market to start negotiating for a lower price. This is time consuming and often expensive. In these situations consider local currency pricing. You can for example agree a "formula' to set the price based on say, the retail price. I will be writing an short article on the mechanics of this, but in essence you sit down with the retailer or Distribution Partner and go through and agree their import "calculation". By doing this you agree the margin needed by them and their customers to survive. The end result is a factor from retail price to your local currency quoted price. So for example a factor of 3.5 would mean a €350 retail price product would have an cost from you of €100. Once established - no more arguments!

Overall the benefits of getting local currency pricing up and running are usually quite high, but as you can see there are risks and costs that you the supplier have to assume. But if you don't assume these risks and costs the customer has to assume them, and this will have an impact on your business.

Exact Date of the Coming Stock Market Crash

2008-10-04T21:54:00.000-07:00

Factors influencing the World Stock Markets
The world stock and financial markets react very noticeably to the configurations of the Sun with the large, outer planets, especially Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. One merely has to correlate these aspects for a few years, using an ephemeris, with a major index such as the Dow, to realise that this statement is true. Although Saturn/Uranus aspects show rough periods of the greatest fluctuations, I have found that, in particular, the diurnal aspects between the Sun and Jupiter are the best short-term indicators.

The markets generally experience growth leading into the trines, sextiles and conjunctions, and depress or even crash on the opposites (and occasionally the squares). I kept meticulous records of newspaper clippings of the world stock market movements during these "Sun/Jupiter" aspect dates between 1996 and 2001, and in almost every instance there was a noticeable general movement that was unmistakably caused by their interaction.

Download charts of the Dow for the past 20 years from the Internet (e.g. Dow 97-99 and Dow 89-99) and focus especially on the dates when there were sudden reversals. Note the expansion that occurs leading into the benevolent Sun/Jupiter aspect. Especially pay attention to the aspects the Sun makes to Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (and sometimes Pluto) immediately FOLLOWING the Sun/Jupiter aspect. If these are generally adverse, note how the Dow immediately depresses after these dates. If generally benefic, note how the expansion is sustained in the weeks following the Sun/Jupiter sextiles, trines and conjunctions.

Please note that this correspondence is normally noticeable if you are simply aware of the date of the opposition, square or of the beneficial aspects. It also seems to show up more clearly if you look at graphs of the 30-day moving averages of the various bourse indexes. I have also found that this technique holds a lot of merit when studying the Foreign Exchange markets. The Dollar price versus other currencies tends to follow the Dow Jones index. However, there is usually a lag or delayed reaction of about a week to a month or so. I think this has been noticed by many analysts before.

Overriding factors tend to follow that of traditional astrology. Several crashes have occurred when Jupiter opposes the Sun. The year in question is usually a 'jittery' year, as determined by Chinese astrology. These are mainly the years of the Cat, Rabbit and Rooster. In addition, the vacillating month of Libra (October) often adds to a bad configuration. The worst reactions occur in negative magnetic-pole (Yang) years, which are the odd years, for example, 1933, 1969, 1987, 1989, 2001, 2009...

For those who think the markets crashed in August, 1998, perhaps this was only the 'cream off the top'. The sharp drop in September 2001, sparked by the World Trade Tower attack would have made anyone following the Jupiter-Sun cycles a small fortune had they shorted the markets. The Sun sextiled Jupiter on the 2nd of September. The next aspects the Sun made were a square to Pluto on the 5th, a square to Saturn on the 7th and an inconjunct to Uranus on the 14th. As previously mentioned, the aspects made by the Sun following a Sun-Jupiter aspect usually determine the direction the markets take thereafter. In this case, they were all bad, and it would have been wise to have sold stocks near the Sun-Jupiter sextile and purchased put options to make money as it dropped during September.

It is interesting to note that the Saturn-Pluto opposition (in 'Air' and 'Fire' signs) around this time fell on the American Ascendant/Descendant line. On the day of the attack, Jupiter joined this configuration by inconjuncting Pluto. Neptune had moved exactly onto the American South Node, a very evil aspect, as it turned out to be. Alan Meece (in 'Horoscope for the New Millennium' - first printed in 1996) accurately described the events of this time. '... Conflicts such as those in Iran or the Balkans will probably come to a head in 2001. Continuing ethnic strife in Europe seems likely. .. but then comes the combative Saturn-Pluto opposition in the summer of 2001. Uncle Sam will be feeling righteous again in a big way, eager to show other nations the truth. Religious issues and trade embargoes will be involved. .. Turning points in the confrontations come near November 2 and December 22, 2001.(In hindsight: this was the day the Taliban surrendered) After the December date, the U.S. could suffer losses in a serious naval engagement. .. Danger to the president is shown, too. After October, 2002, the outlook for peace starts to improve.'

Looking ahead, one of the next big crash dates could possibly be Black Friday, 14th August, 2009. Here are the reasons, in order of importance. 1. Saturn within orb of opposing Uranus. 2. Lunar node in Aquarius (nadir of the down cycle - Louise McWhirter's theory). 3. Sun opposing Jupiter and Neptune. 4. Mars squaring Uranus.

Please note: Although you can almost certainly expect the markets to seriously deflate around this date, it is likely that the stock markets will generally not be a good place to be later on in this decade, as the Lunar node moves towards its nadir in Aquarius. However, by knowing when your own transits (and progressions) are good, you can still make money in any market, by going short or long. It is well known that you can often make money a lot faster in a falling market if you purchase put options or bonds at the correct time. You can get a very good indication of these times by following the basic rules discussed on this page. Summarised, they are:-

1. Purchase stocks (or the Dollar - note it lags behind the Dow) as the Sun starts moving within a 10-degree orb of a beneficial Sun-Jupiter aspect (trine, sextile or conjunction).

2. Sell around the date of the good aspect if the outer-planet aspects (to the Sun) following the beneficial Sun-Jupiter aspect are predominantly bad. If they are mostly good, hold on to your shares until roughly the date of the next Sun-Jupiter square or opposion.

3. Sell the markets short leading into the dates of the Sun-Jupiter squares and oppositions. They usually depress around these dates, sometimes dropping on the exact or next day.

4. A good rule-of-thumb is to expect a reversal of some degree on most Sun-Jupiter aspects.

5. Follow your progressions and transits to confirm that you are making your move at a beneficial time. If you don't have the time or interest to do this, simply use the Lucky Days program to time your actions. This alone will give you an excellent advantage, especially when used in conjunction with a good analytical or charting method.

If you plot the major market indexes against the Sun-Jupiter aspects for the past decade or more, will see how they generally and unmistakably correlate.

Update 9/9/2007: Global Market Selloff beginning a few days ago.
Recently the traffic to this particular page has surged to several thousand visitors a week. Here's hoping that some of you made some good money shorting the indexes this past week! (see the "square dates" below)

Update November 1, 2007:
Well, glad to see that the markets did not crash this October as some thought it might! On the contrary, the markets were good world-wide. If you have a look at the good dates below (Trines etc) you will see how well the concept worked. The aspects made by the Sun to the outer planets after the Sun-Jupiter sextile of 8 October were mostly favorable, indicating a buying opportunity from the end of August, 2007 until possibly around the date of the Sun and Jupiter conjunction on December 23, 2007.

Take note that the Pluto moves into Capricorn at the end of January, 2008, which will bring pressure on corporations and governments and will probably be the start of a recession in the US and other countries. Investors should be very cautious, many astrologers agree that we are in for a hard landing.

Update January 2, 2008:
Right on cue, the markets started dropping in the new year, after the Sun-Jupiter conjunction a week ago. This is actually getting quite boring. I just want to talk about why I don't think that the markets will crash this year, around Monday, October 6, 2008, even though quite a few of the planetary conditions that cause crashes will be in effect at that time. Primarily, Saturn will be forming its opposition with Uranus: hard Uranus-Saturn aspects have definitely caused crashes and slumps in the past. The Sun will be square to Jupiter. Mercury will be turning retrograde on September 24th. But the reason I don't think it will crash that week is because of the benevolent aspects both Venus and Jupiter will be making to each other and the Sun and Saturn at the same time. This indicates that it is likely that there will be a big scare in the global stock markets around the first week of October, 2008, but that governments (Saturn/Jupiter) will inject massive amounts of money into the markets that will buoy them up for a while longer. Also, it is an even year. I think they will drop about 10 percent, then recover again in preparation for the huge double-crashes of 2009 and 2011. That is why I still maintain that the first big crash will be around August 14, 2009.

For those who think they can bottom-fish and pile back into the markets after the crash (like they did in mid-1988), please consider the possibility of a double-crash extending over the next few years, namely 2009 and again in 2011. Pension-fund managers, please be careful. The skies are turning black.

Try following the effects of the Sun/Jupiter opposition each year. There is usually a remarkably visible effect on all of the major world stock markets.

USD Vs GBP - Which Way Are the US Dollar and the Pound Going?

2008-10-04T21:53:00.004-07:00

Ever since the end of the past year, the USD has taken quite a beating in relation to other currencies. The US economy is rife with problems with financial institutes erasing a ton of their profits, so this downfall was warranted. Yet is the time for the dollar to begin rising again has come?

There is no doubt that the USD exchange rates offer an investment opportunity for people who have strong nerves. In this article, I want to look specifically at the USD vs GBP currency pair. For anyone who's not familiar with the acronyms, it's the US dollar vs the Great British Pound or the English pound as it is also known.

Of course, what I write here is my opinion only and you need to make your trading decisions for yourself, but I believe that the currency USD - GBP exchange rate is heading for a shift in the USD's favor.

I make that prediction due to the financial news which is coming out of Britain and which is looking more and more ominous. It seems that the sub-prime crisis will not be limited to the US alone and that Britain, with its huge financial center in London is getting ready to declare some huge losses. These losses will unlikely go unnoticed in the GBP currency exchange rate. Furthermore, the housing market in the UK is undergoing a major downside. Prices have plummeted and I believe they will fall even lower. As the economy shows signs of stabilizing in the US, the tsunami hasn't arrived at the shore of Britain. But when it does, and I have no doubt that it will, the GPB will plummet.

Therefore, it is my prediction that in the USD vs GBP battle, the dollar is going to rise and may do so substantially.

How to Tell Fools Gold From Real Gold

2008-10-04T21:53:00.003-07:00

Pyrites or Iron Pyrites, also known as "Fool's Gold", is a mineral that has historically been confused with gold because of its similar color and shape. But despite the similarities in appearance to real gold, it can be easily distinguished from it if you know what to look for.

First of all, the streak of the two minerals is different. "Streak" refers to the color of a mineral's powder. The color of a mineral's powder can be tested by rubbing the mineral on a surface of hard white porcelain. The color of the residual streak indicates the contents of the minerals. Real gold has a yellow streak, while Fool's Gold has a black streak.

In addition to the color of the minerals' streaks, fool's gold and real gold also differ in hardness. Gold has a low hardness of 2 1/2 to 3 on Moh's relative hardness scale (roughly the same as a finger nail), while fool's gold has a hardness of 6 to 6 1/2 (a typical knife blade measures at approximately 5.5). A relative hardness of zero signifies a liquid, while a relative hardness of 10 is equivalent to a diamond.

A mineral's relative hardness can be tested by scratching. A mineral can only be scratched by a harder mineral, not by a softer one. Therefore, to test the mystery mineral specimen you can use a different mineral with a relative hardness between that of fool's gold and that of real gold. For instance, a copper penny with a relative hardness of 3.5 will suffice. Use he mystery mineral specimen to attempt to scratch the copper penny. If you can scratch the copper penny, then the mineral can not possibly be real gold because it's softer than copper. The mystery mineral can therefore be assumed to be fool's gold (or another mineral with a relative hardness that is higher than that of copper).

In the days of the Gold Rush pyrites and gold were often confused, resulting in much confusion and disappointment. This sometimes leads to the worry in this day and age that fool's gold and real gold are difficult to distinguish. But fear not, because through the above testing methods, fools gold identification is relatively simple.

Forex Autopilot System - What I Got After Three Months Using It

2008-10-04T21:52:00.002-07:00

Over the next few lines I will tell you why and how I decided to try the Forex Autopilot System, and what has been the outcome after roughly three months using it. As to why I decided to get the Forex Autopilot System, there are basically three reasons:

1) I was looking for an investing option which offered a high yield, but I did not want to risk my money on some Nigerian phony HYIP website.

2) I had read a thing or two about forex trading and I knew there were big profits to be made there, so I decided to take on the forex market using some newly learned strategies. Of course at this point I had no idea that the Forex Autopilot System even existed.

3) I did rather well trading manually, but after some serious research I came to the conclusion that if I was to see consistent results within the forex market I would have to put my hands on a reliable forex system.

Now, how did I end up choosing the Forex Autopilot System?

First, as any of you would, I started by Googling my search and read about various systems which offered automated and semi automated trading.

Secondly, after a lot of research on the subject I developed a preference for the Forex Autopilot System, based on most of the opinions and comments I found, however, I remained a bit cautious until I finally landed on a website providing reviews about several systems designed to make money online in various ways. After reading their evaluation, I was convinced that my hunch was right, and if I was going to try an automated forex system it had to be the Forex Autopilot System.

Indeed, the Forex Autopilot System was regarded by many as the best forex system available, and it would deliver three things particularly important to me:

a) An 8 week money back guarantee, which is essential because any system of its kind needs some getting used to.

b) The system is fully automated, meaning that it places the trades all by itself during the day or night.

c) The system has a success rate of over 90% winning trades, so I knew that I was in for the consistency I was after.

How have I done after three months?

Well, during the first month the results were simply unbelievable, as the Forex Autopilot System placed 42 winning trades for a profit $4,200. However, on the second month the statistics came into play and the Forex Autopilot System placed 37 winning trades against 2 bad trades, this time for a profit of $2,830. The third month was a little different, but still the Forex Autopilot System placed 33 good trades and just a bad one for a profit of $2,780.

So as you can see, after three months, I could not say the Forex Autopilot delivers a perfect performance, because it does not, but what it does deliver is consistency and a high level of accuracy, which is precisely what I wanted and what you should be looking for in a system like this.

Forex Robots - What You Need to Know

2008-10-04T21:52:00.001-07:00

Forex robots or forex autopilots are fully integrated and automated systems that work like an ideal forex trader who cannot commit any wrong. It achieves this almost utopian perfection by two ways. It does what is humanly impossible and does not what is possible for a human. For example, it takes to the trade round the clock - 24/7 - which is not humanly possible. It has a foolproof system that is backed by mathematical calculations and experience of top rated industry professionals. These smart, super fast computers can analyze trillions of data within fraction of seconds with complete precision which is beyond human capacity. As the whole systems are entirely mechanical, it is not free to make judgmental error like a human being.

Technical and fundamental analyses are extremely important for forex trading. Innumerable indicators are developed depending on each unique method of analysis. Some indicators are dedicated for scalpers and some are for day traders. But forex robots like Forex Tracer or Forex Killer has the electronic memory to keep track of every detail. You need to initialize the system depending on the strategy you are comfortable into and let the autopilot take the justified decisions. As the systems are attuned with your specified judgment, they cannot go wrong by taking wrong decision, which a human trader tend to make.

Forex robots are not based on simulated results always. They have numerous data based on actual performance. That is why they can work in a liquidated and volatile market like forex.

Best Forex Software For Consistent Profits

2008-10-04T21:50:00.000-07:00

Please read very carefully what I will share with you in the next few lines, because the quest for the best forex software can be a very disappointing one if you start looking in the wrong places.

The first and natural question you might have about this subject is whether a software can actually help you or not achieve the goal of a successful forex trading operation.

The answer to that question is, without a doubt, a big yes. However, let me warn you that very few forex softwares are reliable enough to trust them with your investment. This I had to learn the hard way, but thankfully I am still sanding and very tall I might add.

Now, which is the best forex software?

Before we get to that, you must know that there are basically two types of forex softwares, and which one is the best will be determined not only by its reliability and performance but by you personal situation.

There are forex softwares designed to provide you with trading signals (usually entry and exit points), and there are some of them that really work like a charm, but I personally don't like the fact that you need to be very attentive of what is happening within the forex market in order to take advantage of the good entry points signaled by the software. So achieving consistency with one of these systems is possible, but you have to dedicate some good time during the day, which is fine if you have it to spare, I just don't.

On the other hand, there are forex softwares designed not only to determine the best entry and exit points during a trading session, but also to place the trade orders and close them automatically for you. This means that you can profit all day and all night long without having to do absolutely anything, because in this case the software will do everything.

After having the chance to see first hand how both systems works, my verdict has to go in favor of the fully automated option, because it delivers the same great performance as the best forex trading signal kind of sofware (over 90% winning trades on average), only it goes completely on its own (that my friend is really sweet).

Indeed, if both softwares can deliver the goods, I will go for the one that demands less from me, so the best forex software has to definitely be the fully automated one.

Therefore, if you are thinking about starting a new forex trading operation, or simply want to enhance your current performance within the market by getting the help of the best forex software, I advise you to go for the automated option as this will save you costly mistakes and will increase your chances of catching the best entry points during the day or night, no matter how busy you are.

Fap Winner Gold Membership - Why is This the Membership to Choose?

2008-10-04T21:49:00.001-07:00

Fap Winner is rapidly becoming one of the most popular Forex clubs. The first reason has to do with its price. While most membership sites require a monthly subscription fee, Fap Winner has a one time fee only, making it much more affordable.

The second reason it is catching on like wild fire is that the concept of the club is ingenious: the creator of Fap Winner, Charles Floyd took a successful product, the FAP robot, researched it and devised an optimal setting for it. In fact, his optimal setting was so good that even the creator of FAP, Marcus Leary, is recommending FAP Winner. The basic thing is that the FAP Winner optimization makes working with FAP more reliable and profitable in the long run.

However, before you join FAP Winner, you need to choose 1 out of 3 different membership options: silver, gold, or supreme. They differ in what they offer and in price as well. I have a Gold membership myself and I believe it provides the best value for its price.

I believe the Silver membership is inadequate because it doesn't give you access to the bonus trading program: the Hedging Robot which Charles Floyd developed. This is a highly useful software, so I believe that you need to choose either the Gold or the Supreme memberships which do offer it.

As to the Supreme, I found it to be too expensive. The main benefit of being a Supreme member is that you get a greater degree of personal support. This is valuable, so you may choose to go for it, but for me, the regular support, the hedging trading program, and the other features of the Gold Membership of Fap Winner were sufficient. This is what I personally recommend.
