  • 52week highs and lows: it is the highest and lowest price which the oil prices hit In the previous year.
  • Fibonacci analysis this is one of the most famous among the oil trading every number in the sequence is the result of previous 2 numbers and the resulting number can be converted into their ratios that seem to be important reversal signals whenever the oil rates crosses these Fibonacci ratios it would a buy or a sell signals.
  • Elliot wave principle these are the pattern of five wave 1, 3 and 5 being upward wave and 2,4 being downward wave by recognizing these waves one can find whether the market might move upwards or downwards.

Short selling

Short selling a share mean you sell the stock before you own. This sounds weird isn’t it but this is the way it goes.

Short selling basically goes this way here the stock actually comes from the broker / brokerage firm who lends you the share in lieu you can sell this share but subsequently you need to buy this share from the market and thus returning back to the brokare.

Here the profit comes only if there is a loss for the share say for instance you had shorted a share for market price 100 and the then closed the short (covering the short) by buying at 98 then you are in a profit of 2 * number of share you shorted. In otherwords to be in a profit your shorting price should be higher and your closing the short (buying ) (covering the short) should be lower.

Café Barcomi’s Success Story

Cynthia Barcomi was from Seattle, Washington, USA. Came to Germany after graduating from Columbian university in 1985 moved to Germany to teach dance.

Barcomi started her small business selling brownies, muffins, bagels and roasted Coffee. Back in 1997 starting her business with her small savings of $15000 and a bank loan of $100,000. For Barcomi getting this $100,000 was not so easy as she was not a German and lot dint even care for her idea of opening the business. Back then she had to learn baking all of her own as there was no Google to says “ I remember me going to library to find the dealer for coffee vending machine”. She had learnt a lot of the blending recipes in the library and to get the loan she had to do a lot of hard work she had gone for more than 20 banks asking for loan and she been rejected in all the banks and finally after 2 months of intense hard work of finding for loan she was given a loan in a bank to start her business. After getting her loan she began her business with a big opening but later business began to fall and then she realized that she had to come up with a way to get people. As she came to know that Germans loved coffee and cake very much she promoted coffee and cake on Sundays. Later she had really made lots of effort in decorating the café as she came to know that people began to love her café. Later in 1997 she came up with another café in Mitte district a bit larger than the previous one.

Barcomi says “one of my biggest blender was when I had hired two experienced French pastry chefs. I thoughts that they would be great for my kitchen but they were disrespectful for me since I had not much experienced as they did and I had made a lot of progress in café business. Those two had sued me and I sued them back. But however at the end I won the case.”

There were lots of ups and downs in her business and some of her experience was really challenging and even awful. Since she was also from a different culture she had to listen to a lot of people giving her a damn. But she kept on with her entrepreneurship thinking and hence she had a success in her business.

Her current estimate $2.07 million. And she is also known by the name “The coffee queen of Berlin”.

Advance-Decline ration: It is also known as advanced decline ratio. This ratio is used to find whether market is in bullish trend or in the bearish trend, in other words whether the market is in advacing or declining. It is found by dividing the total number of advanced shares to the total number of declined shares. For instance: there are a total of 10000 stocks listed in the market of them 800 advances and 200 declines then the Advance Decline ratio would be 4 and since the ratio. Any value more than 1 would indicate a rising trend (bullish trend) and any value which is less than 1 would indicate a declining trend (bearish trend).
