Skiing is one sport that keeps increasing in numbers, and a lot of the Alpine ski mountains, including Les Houches, Flaine, La Chavanette, and La Rosiere are trying more than ever to assure everyone revel in their skiing vacation both on and off the mountain. Naturally they’re many ski fields to decide from, however of late snowboarding mountains in Europe and North America have been taking the requisite advancements to make sure the visitors do not go through the same old ski trip.

Nevertheless, it isn’t exclusively America where one should maybe search for your snowboarding vacations, as skiing Europe provides some grand ski experiences - the famous European Alps never disappoints. Isola 2000 in France is in the process of being done up - famous for constituting the loftiest lift in the French Alps - a modern bar being fabricated which will provide lodging to accommodate mountaineers and those on skis. And Chamonix has made progress with the addition of many newfangled chair lifts.

If it’s the European Alps or North America one decides to go visit for skiing weekends, taking account of the endeavours made to better the vacation for the visitor, it’s much more probable the ski holiday shall call for a jam packed time of diversion and frivolousness. Therefore what is it you’re delaying for? Go and book your skiing vacation now.

Upper Saddle River, N.J. - May 11, 2005 - Now that a large number of the proxy statements for public companies with fiscal years ending December 31, 2004 have been issued, those of us that scrutinize them for a living, as well as those that have invested in those companies, have an opportunity to analyze their executive pay packages in detail. With all of the attention on Corporate Governance and how to improve the level of transparency and insure that a strong relationship exists between pay and performance, these statements provide for interesting reading.

Many comb through these filings with the intent of learning if the compensation is reflective of the recent trends towards “pay-for-performance”. In reality, does the compensation accurately reflect the company’s financial performance? And does it make sense? We also are interested in learning how companies are reacting to the recent and anticipated changes in tax, accounting rules, and related legislation and the extent to which those changes are affecting executive compensation design.

With this in mind, we have been reading various recent filings, which when analyzed, still leaves some doubt if the companies are being as open and straight forward as we have all hoped for. Unfortunately, there is still a tendency for companies to use ambiguous, unclear language. In some instances, the linkage to performance is still questionable. The key is to read what has been presented in a very careful way, taking into consideration what is said, and in some instances, what is not said. Some examples from a recent proxy issued by a large company provide evidence of why it is important to read and interpret them very carefully:

“Our policy is to maximize the tax deductibility of compensation payments to (Top Management) under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder (Section 162(m)). Our shareholders have approved our incentive plans designed and administered to qualify compensation awarded thereunder as “performance-based”. We may, however, authorize payments to (Top Management) that may not be fully deductible if we believe such payments are in our shareholders’ interests.”

This means that the programs are in compliance with the Internal Revenue Code 162(m); however, and it is a big HOWEVER, they may not qualify for exemption under the one million dollar cap, and therefore would not be deductible for tax purposes. We find it quite a stretch to see how that is in the shareholder’s interest, since a non-deductible expense reduces the company’s profitability.

“(Top Management) pay is compared to (Key Sales Management) pay to ensure appropriate internal relationships are achieved.”

While internal equity and hierarchical relationships are important in this company’s situation, Key Sales Management consists of some very highly compensated sales types that may actually push up the Top Management pay, if the company tries to maintain internal equity. The reality is that top salespeople/producers can make huge amounts, but it is based on their individual performance achievement, and therefore it may be more than the amount that would be paid to corporate officers. Trying to maintain an artificial differential may therefore not be warranted, nor in the best interests of the shareholders.

“(The CEO) participates in several defined benefit pension plans, including some unfunded executive plans….The amount estimated….is….not subject to deductions for Social Security or other offset amounts.”

Most large companies have some form of Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP), which provides non-qualified retirement benefits that are over and above those allowed by government regulations. The standard in designing these plans, which are typically very generous and have a time rather than performance commitment, is that other company-sponsored retirement programs, 401(k) matches, and Social Security would offset the benefits that are provided. Although in the scheme of things, the lack of an offset to these extra benefits may not be a large cost, it is still a hidden extra benefit that should be quantified and disclosed.

“As described above, in contrast to compensation in prior fiscal years, we did not ascribe a value to (the CEO’s) restricted stock units based on a 25% discount from fair market value of the common stock to compensate for the vesting characteristics and transfer restrictions on the restricted stock units.”

At first read, this seems to make sense, but after multiple readings, we still aren’t sure what this means; have the restricted shares been discounted or not? This is an example of ambiguous and confusing language, which companies should work to avoid.

The bottom line is that while many companies are becoming better and more open at responding to regulatory and shareholder demands within their public disclosures, more work is necessary to have complete transparency. In the meantime, let the reader be wary.

In less than four years, the price of oil has risen about 300%, or over $50 a barrel. The Light Crude Continuous Contract (of oil futures) hit an all-time high at $67.80 a barrel Friday, and closed the week at $67.40 a barrel. Persistently high oil prices will eventually slow economic growth, which in turn will cause oil prices to fall, ceritus paribus.

The two charts below are same period daily charts of SPX (S&P 500) and OIH (an oil ETF, which is a basket of oil stocks). Over 15% of SPX are energy & utility stocks. The two charts below show SPX started the recent rally about a month before OIH. Also, the charts imply, non-energy & utility stocks fell over the past week or so, while energy & utility stocks stayed high or rose further.

SPX held its 10 day MA until just over a week ago, while OIH continues to hold its 10 day MA. The Parabolic SARs (red dots) indicate SPX is on a sell signal, while OIH continues to maintain the buy signal. SPX would need to rise to about 1,242 3/4 to trigger a buy signal, and OIH would need to fall below 115 3/4 to trigger a sell signal (see upper left corner of chart).

Perhaps, the safe play would be to wait for OIH to close below its 10 day MA, or fall below the Parabolic SAR buy level. However, I believe, if oil tests $70 (e.g. next week or the following week), that will be the OIH sell signal, and perhaps an excellent opportunity to buy OIH Sep puts (or puts on overvalued oil stocks).

SPX has sold into weekends over the past three weeks, which is typically bear market behavior. However, next week is options expiration week. So, direction will be somewhat skewed next Friday. The following are current August Max Pain expirations: SPX 1,225 with the value of calls about three times the value of puts (which is bearish, since the put/call is a contrarian indicator). SPX closed at over 1,230 Friday. OEX (S&P 100) 570 with the value of puts over three times the value of calls (which is bullish). OEX closed at about 571 Friday. QQQQ 39 with the value of puts twice the value of calls. QQQQ closed at about 39 1/4 Friday. It’s interesting that the OEX put/call is roughly the mirror image of the SPX put/call, which may suggest institutions, which tend to buy large cap stocks, are skeptical of a rising stock market.

Economic reports next week are: Mon: Empire State Index, Tue: CPI, Industrial Production, Capacity Utilization, Building Permits, and Housing Starts, Wed: PPI, Thu: Unemployment Claims, Leading Indicators, and Philadelphia Fed. Fri: None. Recent data showed slowing and above trend growth with disinflation. A higher Capacity Utilization Rate would indicate future inflation. The high price of oil tends to slow economic growth rather than cause inflation (in part, because the high price of oil is a tax on consumption, which lowers demand for non-energy goods).

The big play may be buying Sep puts when OIH and overvalued oil stocks bounce, because OIH may continue to lag SPX. Also, options expiration week tends to be volatile, and the trading range may continue. So, there may be several other excellent trading opportunities next week.

First of all, I want to give everyone the disclaimer that I am not a registered financial advisor and I don’t play one on TV. Therefore, I cannot legally provide financial advice and I will not do so. This is for informational purposes only and I’m not recommending any of my personal investment strategies to anyone else. Now, with that being said, I will outline some techniques I use for my personal investment strategy, without going into a whole lot of specifics. I generally go against the conventional investment wisdom that you are accustomed to hearing, although I do use both a conservative and a not-so-conservative strategy.

Most financial advisors put a great deal of emphasis on diversification. While this is probably appropriate for most people, I personally don’t buy it. The idea is that it limits risk. While it does indeed limit risk, for me it also limits my upside potential way too much. Therefore, I basically disregard the whole concept. Most advisors will encourage investing for the long term. This strategy is generally successful in building wealth, but unfortunately for me, it wouldn’t until after I’m old or dead. I invest for the short and intermediate terms.

I also do not buy or trade individual stocks. Instead, I buy and trade no-load mutual funds, including index funds. Even with the use of a deep-discount broker, commissions from trading individual stocks will add up and cut into my profits. True no-load mutual funds don’t cost me anything to buy or sell. Besides, owning shares in a mutual fund is like owning shares of a lot of different stocks at one time without having to actually buy any of those stocks. Instead of buying individual stocks, I am buying classes or groups of stocks. I also don’t have to worry about which stocks to buy or sell, as that job is being taken care of by the fund managers.

Now, let’s talk about some guidelines I use specifically for my conservative strategy. I only buy funds that have earned a “Five-Star” rating from Morningstar (www.morningstar.com). They must also have a Morningstar risk rating of “low”, “below average”, or “average.” In addition, they must have a Morningstar return rating of “above average” or “high.” Also, they must be long-term winners, i.e., near the top of their categories in five-year and/or ten-year performance. I also require them to be “Lipper Leaders”, as deemed by Lipper (www.lipperleaders.com), in the categories of “Returns”, “Capital Preservation”, and “Consistency.”

In my mind, consistency is just as important as high overall return and capital preservation. An inconsistent or volatile fund can cause problems for short and intermediate term investors, even if its longer term performance is excellent. Here’s the problem: Let’s say a fund that I invested in went down 50% in the first year I owned it. It would have to go up a whopping 100% the next year for me to break even after two years. However, let’s say it went down 25% after the first year. In that case, the fund would only have to go up 33% in the second year for me to break even. A 20% drop in the first year would need only a 25% increase in the second year to break even; a 15% drop would need only an 18% increase; a 10% drop would require only an 11% increase; and so on. Therefore, I stick with funds that have never gone down more than 10-20% in any one year. I prefer funds that have never had a losing year, but those are very hard to find.

What about my more aggressive strategy? This is the one that I’m using more and more often and is becoming more profitable, although I probably couldn’t quit my job and make a living off of it just yet. Is it going to make me rich? Probably not. However, I hope it will eventually put me in a financial position to retire early. This strategy involves actively trading various no-load market index funds. The experts say you can’t successfully time the market. I believe this is true when using the strictest definition of the term, “market timing.”

However, I have been able to trade successfully with the short-term momentum already established by the market. Why no-load market index funds instead of individual stocks or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that mirror various market indexes? Because no-load market index funds allow leveraging and short selling without the need for a margin account. Also, some of these funds allow twice-daily trading (which is important for exiting early on bad days). In addition, the fund company I use doesn’t charge redemption fees for actively trading its funds. Most fund companies, even those that specialize in no-load funds, charge these fees.

Like I said at the beginning, I’m not going into great detail, especially about my more aggressive strategy. However, I should define some terms so all of this will make more sense to those who are novices in the world of investments.

What is leveraging? Leveraging, in this context, is the ability to buy shares of a stock or mutual fund and realize a multiple of its gain or loss during the time you hold it. For example, if you buy a fund leveraged at 2 times a given stock index and that fund goes up 20%, you realize a 40% gain. However, if it goes down 20%, you incur a 40% loss. With individual stocks or ETFs, you need a margin account to do this. With a margin account, your broker is loaning you money on “margin” at a rather high rate of interest to cover the leveraged (or extra) amount. Obviously, this could be very risky and costly. However, there are some funds that have this leveraging built in at no cost to you. These funds automatically give you one-and-a-half or two times the gain or loss of a given stock index.

What is short selling? Short selling is when you sell a stock (that you don’t already own) immediately at its current market price while agreeing to buy it at whatever the market price will be at a fixed point in the near future. In other words, you are betting that the stock will be going down, so you can buy it for less than you sold it for. Have you ever heard anyone say “don’t sell me short”? Well, this is where that term came from. Selling someone short is tantamount to treating them like a bad stock that you believe is going down. Yes, it’s backwards of the normal process of buying and selling stocks. As with leveraging, you need a margin account to do this for individual stocks or ETFs. Your broker loans you money on “margin” (actually buying the stock temporarily), so you can sell a stock that you don’t own yet.

Once again, however, the funds I use have this short selling mechanism already built in to them at no cost to you. For example, you can buy a fund that gives you the inverse performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index. When that index goes up 10%, the fund goes down 10%; conversely, when that index goes down 10%, the fund goes up 10%. There are even funds with leveraging and short selling built in to them, at no cost to you! For example, there is an available fund that goes up 20% when the Nasdaq-100 Index goes down 10%. Of course, that same fund goes down 20% when then the Nasdaq-100 Index goes up 10%. As you can probably imagine, these funds can be powerful tools for profit-making for those who know how to use them, but can be highly dangerous for those who do not.

For more information about any or all of these concepts and to find out what kind of investment is right for you, contact your financial advisor and/or do your own research. Hopefully, I have provided some food for thought as well as several resources that might be helpful to you when doing your own research.

You have probably heard of the large amount of stock compensation company officers hold compared to the average salary of the rank and file worker within the same publicly held company. Are you curious about how much stock the CEO and other officers of a particular company hold in their possession?

Here is how you find out. Go to the NASDAQ website and enter the stock ticker symbol of the company you are interested in. Click on ‘Flash Quotes’. Use the drop down box to select ‘Insider Form 4′. Scan down the list until you find the company officer’s name you are interested in. Click on that name. Go to the top of the list which should be the latest date. Move your eyes to the far right column entitled ‘holdings’. That is how many shares that officer currently holds and controls. Multiply that number by the most recent price for the company’s stock and you will arrive at a dollar figure.

Of course, that figure will change from day to day. You may be surprised at just how high that number is. You may also want to consider that this is merely the officer’s current stock holdings. It doesn’t tell you how many shares he has sold in the past; it also doesn’t tell you how many shares the company will grant him or her in the future.

When you start to look at these figures you may become very amazed. If you are currently a company CEO or officer, the numbers will not shock you because you will already be familiar with them. However, if you are currently an employee for a publicly held company you may wonder about the discrepancy between your salary and the officers’ stock holdings.

Some will say, ‘but the CEO and other officers worked hard for their money’. And that may very well be true. But did they really work any harder than you do on a day to day basis? And if they did, does the harder work they did add up to account for the discrepancy between an average worker’s pay and a company officer’s stock holdings. Chances are, the answer is no.

This leads to some interesting realizations about how our economy works. The days of serfdom are supposed to be over, but are they really? The serfdom is now an economic one. The real estate owned and tribute collected by a monarch have been replaced with stock compensation for corporate officers and owners. But the serf or worker is the one who does the work. The monarch and his court are still the ones who reap the rewards.

In private companies you probably won’t be able to find out the information that you can find on the NASDAQ website about publicly traded companies. I think it is a good thing that the SEC or Securities and Exchange Commission requires this information to be available to the public. Of course, it is meant to be available to potential investors. But if you own stock in your company via a 401K plan, that makes you an investor.

Besides the NASDAQ website, you can also find this information on the Securities and Exchange Commissions’ website. In fact, there is a wealth of information out there to discover. In many instances it is actually easier to find on the NASDAQ website.

Perhaps knowing the value of the stock held by company officers will make you less timid about asking for that raise you deserve. Knowledge often equates to power.

I recently received an e-mail from a young lady who had doubts about the principles of wealth found in “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. She mentioned a couple of past failed investments, and wanted to know what I thought about investing and financial freedom - whether it was just a myth, or whether it could be acquired. I thought I’d share it here for the benefit of those who have struggled with investing, or perhaps from ventures that didn’t quite pan out. Here’s what I wrote back to her:

“Dear ________,

I want to address your point below - because I think you make a very interesting point about money. I do believe that most people have a great opportunity to put Rich Dad’s principles into practice to create wealth for themselves. You said “the rich get richer”…but remember, many who are rich did not start that way (many who have a large inheritance don’t stay rich for long). In fact, they started very poor, with little to no money, and worked their way to freedom. HERE ARE THE DIFFERENCES between those who achieve financial freedom and those who don’t:

1) They have different beliefs about money.
The person who becomes wealthy believes differently about money than the person who doesn’t. Example: The wealthy BELIEVE that “money should work hard for you” while the poor and middle class BELIEVE that “you should work hard for your money”. These are opposite beliefs - so, the rich keep FINDING WAYS to have money work for them, while the poor and middle class keep FINDING WAYS to work harder for money. See the difference in beliefs, that ultimately effects the person’s behavior and their results? Another example: If I believe that every person is valuable, then what happens? I treat every person I meet with respect. What about the person who believes that a particular race - African-Americans, or Asians, or Hispanics, or Americans are INFERIOR to their own race, or “bad” - how will that person treat them? With disrespect, or hatred, or both. You see? What someone believes in his/her heart correlates with how they will behave.

2) Those who become financially free never, ever give up - even after failing numerous times.
You mentioned trying a few investments that didn’t work out. Why didn’t they work out? I’m sure the reason comes from this one simple reason: you did not have enough information to evaluate the investment. So, even if you say “The opportunity was a scam”, or “My friend made me do it”, or “It wasn’t the right time to invest” - all these reasons come from the fact that you did not adequately EVALUATE THE INVESTMENT. Evaluating an investment includes understanding the risks, having a contingency plan, and getting expert help to best make your decision.

3) Those who become wealthy never stop learning.
If you mess up in an investment, it doesn’t mean give up. It means you look at the mistake and figure out why it happened to make sure you don’t get yourself in that situation again - when you do this, you become WISER. The poor and middle class try something, and when they fail, they either blame a person or circumstances AND THEY NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT AGAIN. That’s not good! Just because I mess up one real estate investment DOES NOT mean real estate is a bad investment!

I hope this helps - I’d like your opinions on what I’ve shared -

To your future.

Jim”

I’m still waiting to hear back from her - in the meantime, I hope this helps you.
