This is a beautiful life. I enjoy everyday of my life by learning new thinks. I have played sports. I have done trading. Whatever, I have done in life; first I try to learn everything about it. If something interests me, I learn it first before doing it.

Once, tennis used to be my passion. I wanted to play tennis but my returns were very poor. My volleys were horrible. I had a very poor serve.

So, I would do wall practice and practice and practice. In the beginning my ball control was very poor. My service was so poor that I would be ashamed to play with good players.

Everyday before entering the tennis court, I would imagine myself playing very well. Every defeat would strengthen my resolve to win. In six months, I had started defeating the good players who in the beginning did not consider me good.

Forex trading is like playing tennis for me. Everyday is like a battle. If you are good, surely you can defeat the currency markets. But to become good at forex trading, you have to do lot of learning and practice.

Your first step should be to digest a good forex trading course. Go through the course again and again. Digest even small points given in the course. Pause and ponder on each line in the course.

You aim should be to master the behavior of the currency markets. You should train yourself for that. Learn Technical Analysis. It is the thing to learn for a successful day trader.

Understand the use of indicators. Learn how to analyze charts. Know what are lagging indicators and what leading indicators are. Try to figure out how price action is taking place at a certain point in time.

Grasp every small detail. Go through example of successful trades given in the course. Open the charts learn how to apply the SMAs, EMAs, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Pivot Points etc.

Learn the money management principles. This is one thing that most traders simply skip. Do you know that in the end, it is good money and risk management that can make you a good trader?

I what to share with you something that few people are aware of. You can actually purchase a car for $339.95 simply by attending a US local government car auction?

Here’s how it’s done! At the majority of government and police auctions if a vehicle doesn’t meet a predetermined opening bid during the auction, it will be put up for sale at the auction’s conclusion for $300. This is because the government likes to eliminate any costs involved in storing vehicles after the auction.

The first time I noticed this, I was going through some of the car listings on the site mentioned below (last paragraph) and then I noticed something peculiar. Many of the cars were indiscreetly labeled ‘If vehicle does not sell at this auction it can be purchased afterward for $300′.

I called a number of the government auctions and agencies directly, with the number that was listed on the site (see below for site). To my astonishment because of current depressed state of the economy, a good number of vehicles were not receiving a starting bid and were selling off for $300. In fact at many of the government auctions there were more vehicles available than buyers wishing to purchase them. This is due to this fact that most car dealership’s vehicle inventories are already too high. Even if they wanted to purchase, banks aren’t offering credit in most cases.

The remaining $39.95 I mentioned is for a Government Auctions membership which will provide detailed info on all local auctions and vehicles at each. Its well worth it though as it has all the hard to find all these details on one site, plus you’ll also find many items including car parts, foreclosed homes, furniture, electronics, jewelry, office equipment, etc. all for pennies on the dollar.

So once you have chosen the vehicle auctions in your area that you can attend, simply show up at them, check out the vehicles you like, bid on them if you choose, or better still wait until the auction’s over and buy any remaining vehicle(s) for $300 (auctions may have slightly different policies on this so call in advance).

You’ll be surprised at what you can get for $300. I know, I’ve purchased 3 cars this way including a older model Beemer in great condition.

There have been many articles written about police and government auctions, but very seldom are there any specific examples given of the types of repossessed cars you can purchase at them. The government seldom advertises their auctions or the types of items that will be sold at them, so the only way to find out is by doing research on the Internet. The government wants to get rid of it’s inventory of foreclosed homes and repossessed cars, but they don’t want to spend any money on advertising.

Can you imagine if Best Buy said they had some great deals but never really publicized what they were, they probably won’t get half the business that they do. Well in the case with government auctions they still have quite a following with virtually no promotion (mostly word of mouth) and the reason for that is simple, they have the best deals, period. Think about it, no cost paid for the goods sold and they want to move that merchandise out of their inventory as fast as possible. Compare that to a retailer who has a cost associated with each item and needs to make a certain margin on each sale.

Having said that my goal is to make interested people aware of the deals that are currently available from any of the numerous government auction agencies. For research I generally use my number one rated government vehicle auctions site as evaluated on my review site highlighted in the last paragraph. By the time you read this the items listed may of expired, however, it will provide you with an example of what kind of deals are available, so when you’re in the market for the same type of item you’ll know where to look and what price range to expect. For this article I have found a number of cars (and a pickup truck) among the tens of thousands that are available. These are just a randomly selected micro sample of some of the fantastic deals that are available:

* Plymouth 2004 Neon Sport 31.1K miles $3,250

* Pontiac 2005 Bonneville 12K miles $3,330

* 2005 Ford 150 Pickup with 12K miles for – $5,710

* 2003 Jeep Liberty with 23K miles – $3,890

* 2005 Corvette with 13K miles – $4,600

From what I could see most every make and models was available to choose from. But where do they all these vehicles come from and why are they sold so cheap? They are repossessed vehicles that come from numerous sources. They have been repossessed for many reasons including unpaid debt, neglected taxes, and other legal reasons.

Going to a live on-site government auction rather then an online auction is a good idea because you will be given the opportunity to look over the vehicle before you bid on it. As I’ve mentioned in the past if you’re not mechanically inclined then bring someone to the auction who is. Also be careful to verify the quality and the history of the vehicle before you purchase. Given the fact that a small percentage of people are even aware that these auctions even exist, you’ll be able to find a vehicle of your choosing, perhaps even of higher social status then you intended for a much lower price then you expected.
