11 Reasons Poker Players Make Great Futures Traders

July 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Two cards face down and a Queen sitting on the river in a dimly lit, smoky room. Two men face off even though neither of them looks the other in the eye. They are intently focused on the dealer as the last card is casually flipped out of his hand and dealt. Who will win? Who will earn the coveted pot? And more importantly, what has separated these two men from the rest of the people who were once seated at the same table?

Poker is arguably the most popular game of chance in modern gambling. Its popularity has seen unprecedented heights over the last decade with tournaments frequently broadcast on major cable channels such as ESPN. Many people have become familiar with the famous poker stars of today, who have become household names.

What makes these well known poker players great? Would these talents translate to other ventures? We think so. In fact we think that we’ve found the perfect alternative occupation for skilled poker players. The answer is Trading.

Poker players possess many of the same attributes of a good Trader. Don’t believe us? Well, we’ve created a list of the top 11 Reasons why poker players make great traders:

A good poker player will be able to think quickly and apply the decisions made at the proper time. Forex traders also need to make quick decisions as bid/ask prices change quickly and the smallest hesitation can cause a loss of potential profit.
Poker is not a game often enjoyed by the impulsive or those with ADD. To succeed at poker, one must be methodical in their approach and grind out each hand while cultivating enough discipline to stick to good poker principles. They must not get caught up in hysteria or become bored with a long hand. Futures traders practice the same discipline and must adhere to their technical analysis strategies, while avoiding panic when a curveball is thrown at them in the market. They cannot lose interest when pouring through Fibonacci Retracement charts.
Every card dealt in a poker game changes the circumstances and parameters instantaneously. Skilled poker players can adapt to these changes without breaking a sweat. Futures traders must possess this talent as well, since an adjustment in the interest rate by the Fed or new employment data can alter a currency’s exchange rate just as quickly as a one-eyed Jack.
Here’s a little secret – professional poker players don’t win every hand and can sometimes go weeks or months without breaking even. Often they incur huge losses when a calculated bet backfires. Futures traders can also be subject to large hits to their bank accounts when a currency pair defies reason and slides far in the wrong direction. Both professions require the individual to have the capability to bounce back and still take chances, knowing their logic is sound and they will eventually reap what they’ve sown.
Poker and Trading both require participants to be very skilled in mathematics. Poker players must be able to calculate odds and potential cards in a split second (not to mention the infamous “card counters”). Investors must be adept at crunching large amounts of financial data in order to predict trends and assist in technical analysis, along with forecasting potential profits based on the movements of the market.
Do you have the guts to stare down your opponent and convince them that you may have pocket aces, when really the only cards you’re holding are a lonely seven of hearts and a two of clubs? To do so requires a large amount of confidence. Trading is not for the faint of heart. It requires quite a bit of intestinal fortitude to leverage your to buy (with the knowledge you might lose significant money) in order to make big bucks when your contract(s) rises by a few percentage points.
If you’ve ever played cards with your drunk uncle who plops down 5 black cards (all of different suits) and challenges you in his inebriated excitement to beat his Royal Flush then you know that a skilled poker player can only win if he thoroughly knows the rules of the game. Similarly a successful Futures trader will know the different trading options available to help him turn a profit such as short selling or going long.
An essential trait of poker players is to know how to fund and manage their bankroll – in other words the amount of money which they have to gamble with. Similarly, a smart Futures trader must know how to deftly manage the amount of money to trade with. Both the poker player and the futures trader know that any given time with the right circumstances they could lose all of their money. The top professionals in each venture know how to leverage the working capital at their disposal in order to reap a big pot.
Poker is a game of chance with many variables affecting the ultimate outcome of a hand or tournament. Contract values are subject to change due to a myriad of factors. Poker players and Future traders cannot completely control their environment. They must be able to accept and enjoy the inherit randomness of their vocations. Many people are afraid of the unknown and will drive themselves crazy with the knowledge they cannot control everything they are engaged in. These people may be great accountants, but will not make good poker players or Futures traders.
Eventually all poker players and Futures traders have to walk away from the table or peel themselves away from the computer. Why? For the simple reason that these are stressful professions which take their toll and require you to keep a keen pulse on your emotions. Are you becoming paranoid, feel like you’re tilting or aren’t as sharp as you were yesterday? Then it may be time to take a break. Go for a run or play with your kids. Triumphant poker players and Futures traders must be able to keep emotions stable and their own mental health strong.
Despite the many misleading ads on the internet, most people will not get rich quick playing poker or trading. Sorry to break it to you. But, if you are focused on the long term goals of making a profession out of either then you can succeed. Small, consistent victories add up to progressively more chips and a bigger bankroll.

So, there you have it! If you’re known on the block as the local card shark and clean up at your office poker parties, then you may want to consider trying out Futures trading. The chance to make money by using your natural abilities is great in the futures pit.

Instead of pulling out your favorite cigar and heading to your weekly game, maybe you could pull up to your computer and research the world of Futures Trading. Or if you’re already logged in on Party Poker then try sitting out the next hand and look into opening your first Futures demo account. Either way make sure to put your supernatural poker abilities to good use as you start learning how to trade.

Trader or Investor?

July 10, 2011 By 1 Comment

“Trader or Investor”

Are you an investor or a trader? The answer is I don’t know exactly where one begins and the other one ends. This question needs to be examined because it provides insight into why so many people would be far better off investing in a diversified portfolio of low cost passive investments such as low cost mutual funds and exchange traded funds that they rebalance periodically or systematically.

We learned in that the single most important concept about diversification isn’t whether it is good or not, it is whether you should do it or not. We learned in that you can increase your rate of return by approximately 1% per year while reducing your risk if you systematically rebalance your portfolio and choose a balanced allocation to stocks and bonds. We learned in that trading is a zero sum game. We learned that in order for a trader to win it must come at the expense of another trader or traders. We also learned that to be a winning trader you must have a trading approach with a positive mathematical expectation. If you don’t you will be a losing trader. It’s clear then that people trade because they think they can make money from inferior traders. Otherwise they wouldn’t unless of course they just enjoy losing money. Lastly, we learned in that you must develop your own methodology or you will be unsuccessful since every day in the investment world is today.

This tale tries to bring some clarity to the question of investing. What about investing? Is it a zero sum game? For example, the individual that purchased General Electric 30 years ago and has never sold a share had to purchase it from someone. Is the purchaser a trader or an investor? Assuming that General Electric went up during the 30-year period did the purchaser make money at the expense of the seller? Is the person that sold it to him 30 years ago a trader or an investor? What about when after 30 years of holding General Electric the original purchases decides to sell it? This is the complexity of the question are you a trader or an investor?

In order to get a handle on this question let’s develop an extreme scenario. Let’s imagine a world that allows stock investing but with no stock trading allowed. In this world everyone is an investor. There are no traders. If you buy a stock you would purchase it directly from the issuing company using a formula that everyone agrees is the correct way to value the stock you are purchasing. Similarly, when you go to sell you would sell it back to the company using the exact same formula. In this imaginary world the price you sell your shares for compared to the price you bought them for would be your profit or loss. In this world you would fall under one of the many definitions of an investor as one that buys small pieces of a business. These small pieces of a business are stocks of course. For the sake of simplicity let’s say the holding period in this world is 30 years.

What would this world look like in terms of rate of return on stocks? We know that historically stocks have returned about 9-10% per year to investors over the last 75 years or so. Let’s assume that the rate for the next 30 years would be 10%. This is a reasonable assumption. In the world that I created not everyone would earn a 10% return but in the aggregate the sum total of all investors would earn 10%. Those that construct a diversified portfolio of these non-tradable stocks would all cluster around this 10% return area and those that construct concentrated portfolios would have the possibility of deviating significantly from the 10% area. These concentrated portfolios could even have negative returns if the person making the investment decisions wasn’t particularly talented at securities selection. Others that build these concentrated portfolios might make returns in excess of 20% since they have superior stock selection skills and will invest in those companies that will based on the formula make the most return. I use the term securities selection to highlight superior stock picking skill. Stock picking skill is not the same as trading. Trading is a different skill.

Please note that in my imaginary world, like the real world, and with academic research, the possibility of someone constructing a diversified portfolio of stocks that significantly deviates from the 10% average does not exist. Why do I say this? It’s by definition. If you have a diversified portfolio you will make market rates of return which in this case are 10%. If you examine the record of people that have achieved great rates of return you will discover people that have some combination of a concentrated portfolio or superior trading. Great performance does not come from someone that builds a diversified portfolio of stocks they buy and hold. Some may argue with this but don’t believe them, by definition it is not true. Again this doesn’t argue against diversification it just points out its limitations. If you have superior stock picking skill you should use it, why settle for diversification rates of return. If you don’t you should diversify because the superior stock selectors in this case is taking a large chunk of your money as well as little chunks of all the diversified investor’s money.

What can we learn about this imaginary world so far? We can learn that investing, unlike trading, is a non zero sum game or endeavor because the pool of wealth grows at 10% per year on average. In a zero sum game the pool would grow at 0% per year on average. Investing in stocks has based on history a 10% gain built in so stock investing is a positive sum game. This is a very good thing and something that people looking to build wealth should take advantage of. What else can we learn? We learned that there are different levels of stock selection expertise. We can measure this expertise against the 10% benchmark. There are those that will lose money in this world and those that will amass great wealth strictly on their stock selection skills.

Let’s introduce trading into the positive sum game of investing. In other words let’s introduce a zero sum game into a positive sum world. In my imaginary world, investors show up to the investing game with a built in 10% rate of return if they choose to diversify. If they choose to concentrate they may make more or less than 10% but the winner must possess superior stock picking skill. But what if they choose to act like traders? Let’s now define the two terms. The investor doesn’t make any transactions, trades or switches during the 30-year period. The trader does. So the trader must make these trades with other traders. Since the trader must also trade something they are by default also stock selectors. Trading thus means switching stocks during this 30-year period with the intention of beating the “investment return” of 10%.

We now have a world where a player can choose to diversify and make approximately 10% per year. They can choose to concentrate and hopefully make more than 10% if they possess superior stock selection skills. Lastly, they can trade with other like minded people that think they possess superior stock trading skills. Keep in mind since the total pot in this game can’t exceed the 10%, then the superior players, those that make more than 10%, must be either superior stock pickers or superior traders or both. In addition the superior players have made a conscious decision to not diversify and settle for a 10% return. To complete the logic, it’s possible for someone to possess superior skills in either stock selection or trading and still make less than the 10% return than those that choose to not play the game by simply diversifying. How can this be? It is possible for someone to possess one of the superior skills but be so deficient in the other so as to produce a less than 10% outcome.

In this tale I have just explained the stock investing game. It’s a game that has a positive outcome with only three types of players. There is the diversifier, the trader and the stock selector. All three are known as investors yet they are unique. Traders and stock selectors think they can do better than the diversifiers because otherwise they wouldn’t be trading or stock selecting. The diversifier comes in two forms. The first chooses to diversify out of ignorance since they have heard that it is the only way to invest if you don’t know what you are doing. The second has researched the markets through study or trial end error and has reached the conclusion that they don’t possess either superior trading skills or superior stock selection skills and is happy with a diversified portfolio and makes 10%. Either way it doesn’t matter. Both choose to diversify but for different reasons. Once again, this is why diversification is called the only free lunch on Wall Street.

So what should you be? The reality is that very few people possess superior stock selection skill and in my opinion even less people possess superior trading skills. For the vast majority of investors they are better off in a diversified portfolio of stocks in the form of low cost stock index funds and exchange traded funds. When you consider that trading is a zero sum game but that in the world there are real trading costs, we see that the chances of success for all but the truly gifted are even more remote. Trading isn’t a zero sum game as it is in my imaginary world in reality it is a negative sum game because of trading costs.

So have we answered the question of identity? Can we tell what an investor is vs. a trader? I think the answer is unclear. Like so many things it is a state of mind. You are what you define yourself to be. In our example an investor was one that held a portfolio for the 30 years without making any switches. The trader is one that during this 30-year period made a switch with another trader in order to try to exceed the 10% return that is readily available through diversification. But what if we lowered the holding period from 30 years to 30 months or 30 days or 30 minutes and used the same logic? Would we still be able to classify people as investors or traders during this shorter holding period? The answer is yes in a theoretical sense. In a practical sense it is not. In my opinion everyone that invests is a little bit of each. Call yourself whatever you want, just make sure you know that if you choose to play the stock selection or trading game that you are giving up an expected 10% rate of return in exchange for more or less depending on your skill.

Great story tellers know that people learn and understand life lessons when they are told in the form of a story, a tale or a fable. A few years ago I embarked on a project to teach my children, all 4 of them, the things that I had learned about managing money.

As a first generation Cuban-American most of what I learned as a child, and most of what I still know today, was told to me in the form of a tale. The Cuban tradition, like so many others, has been passed down around the kitchen table, over good food, a strong family, true friends and the optimism that our children would contribute to a better world long after we are gone. Because to so many the written word is beyond their reach, the spoken word has been the way to communicate through the generations.

My intent is to convey what I have learned about money, finance and investments in the same tradition. My lessons are all told in the form of a tale and since I have been advising individual investors for more than 25 years, I have lots of tales that may hit close to home. I hope that you enjoy them and let me know what you think.

Star Wars Galaxies Muntions Trader Guide Grinding to CL 80 as Making Weapons and Armor in SWG

July 10, 2011 By 3 Comments

Everyone knows that even though the Star Wars stories take place in a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away the technology of the universe is several hundred years beyond that of our own. Sure, the droids, ships and buildings are nice to build, but far more important for the serious trader who wants to keep peace in the galaxy is the manufacture of armor and weapons. Star Wars Galaxies characters can make advanced weaponry by becoming a munitions trader.

Central to many of the the trade skills in Star Wars Galaxies is the concept of reverse engineering. While it sounds like a complicated process, it is simply the method by which a completed item can be used to make the schematics necessary to that can be used by the droids are crafting machines. When a player has all the necessary materials, he must then understand the basic concepts for making armor and weapons in Sony Online Entertainment’s second mmorpg offering.

Making Armor in Star Wars Galaxies as a Munitions Trader

Armor is relatively simple to make in the game, but it must be made in segments and then linked into a an armor core. The armors available can range from the fashionable padded to the functional composite armor worn by serious adventurers.

According to the Star Wars Galaxies wiki, looted items are currently superior to the items made by traders, although it notes that this might be corrected in a future patch. Experimenting on crafted weapons and armor increases the damage of the weapons and the protection offered by the armor.

Grinding as a Star Wars GalaxiesMunitions Trader

The following list, adapted from the grinding guide on Allakhazam’s section of the site devoted to Star Wars Galaxies will help players become a master munitions trader.

CL 1 – 17: Survey Tools, Anything to Get to CL 18
CL 18-26: Armor and Weapons Subcomponents
CL 27-58: Advanced Weapon Components
CL 59-82: Advanced Recon Cores
CL 83-90: Continue with the Recon Cores and the Components Granted at 84.
Making Money with the Munitions Grinder Trade Skill

Although players will favor looted weapons over player made weapons, the armor is in demand among the denizens of the galaxy. Other things that can help the profitability are selling survey tools and using the forage commend to locate hidden treasure maps, according to Allakhazam. The player who wants to put in the effort to get to the highest levels of munitions trader will find himself rewarded once he gets to CL 90, but it is a long process. Grinding macros can make the task a little easier, but it will be dull and repetitive.

There are free sites that let you download free games upon registration. You will have to provide your e-mail and some contact details in order for you to acquire the links lading to the game software. However, there is a little concern with these free sites.

Runescape review of the game.

July 10, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Runescape is an online graphical adventure game that you can play for free, or for a price. The game loads in your browser and using java so the game can be quickly loaded and played on any computer with internet. The world is quite large, even in the free version of the game, and the player base is huge, in the millions! The game is family friendly so that children in their 12s or 13s would probably be fine playing the game, but I’ve found plenty of adults, like myself, online also.

The hero that you play in the world starts the game with very little abilities but has great potential to learn, there are so many skills that you can learn in the game. You can learn to cut trees, and see the logs for cash, you can learn to smith armour and weapons, for yourself or other players. You can learn two different forms of magic, either prayers that come from the gods, or magic that comes from using magical runes in the right combination. And there are plenty of other skills to learn as well. Then there are also quests to play, different characters in the game will send you off to do different quests, these could include going to different places and acquiring different items to bring back, solving puzzles, or killing some nasties. This is all available in the free form of the game, which I played happily for about 3 years before I’d done everything that I could pretty much do, and wanted to try the pay to play version.

In the pay to play version you have more to do, the world is so much bigger, with different islands and different cultures and races to visit. The number of quests are many, many more, and the quests are more interesting with some nice screen shots during different parts of the quests. There are also more items, and better equipment to obtain, as well as more skills to learn. Some of the member skills include construction, that allows you to build your own house and herbalism that allows you to make magical potions. Lastly pay to play version of the game has quite a few mini-games that you can play scattered throughout the world. These games often allow you to team up with other players to accomplish some task, or to defeat the enemy team.

Lastly but not leastly this game updates quite quickly, maybe once a month there will be at least one change or update to the game, sometimes these updates are new quests, and sometimes these are new skills or minigames. Also there are yearly one off events like Halloween events and Christmas events where there will be a quest or activity that lasts for a week or two that can give players some cool rewards! My suggestion is play the game for free for a while, and once you’ve exhuasted the free game’s options then go pay to play. It only costs some 7 dollars or so a month. Which is nothing for the hours of fun the game has provided to me. The great thing too is you can always drop back down to free to play and then become pay to play again in the future, and you still got all your items and stuff waiting for you from the pay to play version of the game!

EverQuest II’s Game Update 60 and Age’s End Prophecy Revealed

July 10, 2011 By 4 Comments

Article by Startrekcreditsale

Executive Producer Dave Georgeson talks about EQ2 lore and the game’s future

Game Update 60 heralds the first in a reported two-year rollout of endgame content involving the Age’s End Prophecy. SOE set up the update’s backstory like so:

Following the events of Sentinel’s Fate, the twin Swords of Destiny, Soulfire and the Qeynos Claymore, have been drained of their powers, setting the stage for the destruction of the EverQuest universe. The prophecy known as Age’s End begins to unfold in the legendary continent of Velious and it is here where the war for Norrath will arise. For there to be any chance to save Norrath, the Swords of Destiny must be restored. Norrath’s guardians who undertake this burden will be tested by labyrinthine dungeons, the harsh Velious tundra and powerful creatures. To succeed would mean ultimate glory. To fail would mean annihilation.

According to Executive Producer Dave Georgeson, Age’s End has been percolating in EQ2′s lore for years, so with GU60, how close are we to its resolution? “There are two answers to that question – one is how much adventure we have left in the story arc, and the other is how much time is left. The answer to the latter question is many, many months. We have a lot of content to go through.

“And as for where we stand in the Prophecy, well, with Destiny of Velious there’s the Fortress of Drunder which now stands inaccessible above the Eastern Wastes. The plot – the twin swords and what the gods want to do with their power versus how the mortals can stop this power from shredding the universe – really unfolds there. We’re probably about halfway through that prophecy right now.”

GU60 will add three new instances and three new raids (both in the Fortress of Drunder, which is off-limits unless you’ve purchased the Destiny of Velious expansion), a number of daily missions and quests including Heritage quests, and Crystal Caverns, a throwback to the original zone in the December 2000 Scars of Velious expansion for EverQuest. Dave explained that in EQ2, Crystal Caverns is a new Heroic instance planned to be between easy and moderate difficulty.

Here’s the never before seen synopsis of the Crystal Caverns instance for you burgeoning EQ2 lore hounds:

Ry’gorr Orcs within Eastern Wastes have unearthed a passage leading to the once thought lost Crystal Caverns. Unfortunately the caverns have grown unstable and are at threat of fully collapsing at any moment! As if that weren’t bad enough, Queen Drachnia has found her way up to the upper tunnels and blames the coldain for the collapsing tunnels. Help the coldain rescue their brethren trapped within the caves before you become a permanent fixture among the growing crystals!

Another side of the game that’s getting a much needed boost is PvP. The new match type, Vanquish, will govern the game’s newest battleground, Frozen Tundra, and feature up to 18 players on a side. Dave elaborated: “There’s NPCs involved – giants on one side and Coldain dwarves on the other – and towers on each end of the battlefield.” These NPCs will fight each other to a standstill if left alone, but players will attempt to simultaneously protect their NPCs and fight to hold the other tower. “The scoring has different mechanisms, but there’s a lot of protect and hold as well as capture and hold elements from other PvP games you might be familiar with.” With NPC “creeps” thrown into the mix, Vanquish might have more than a hint of MOBA and tower defense gameplay thrown in, as well.

General PvP improvements are coming your way as well, if not in GU60, then soon after. “We’re making battlegrounds more fun and better balanced, and adding things like a lobby. What would happen before was when you’d join a battleground, as soon as it’s over – bam! – you’re back where you were. Instead of that, we would like the PvP players to be able to work together and create a better community. So you’ll return to a lobby area – I won’t spoil the surprise on what it’s dressed up as – and be able to hang out there and interact with merchants too.” A new Adornments interface is on the way as well, which, according to Dave, should help players stack multiples of different colors with a flexibility players don’t currently have.

Dave also mentioned a new token-based veteran rewards system that’s currently in the works, and also announced plans to add more public quests, even ones at lower levels (but no details at the moment). Dave confirmed that the Freeport revamp is still on the way, as well.

Finally, while the future of EQ2 might be uncertain, it certainly isn’t in doubt. The destructive implications of the Age’s End prophecy (and even the name itself) had led some to wonder if Velious might be simply a segue to EverQuest Next. SOE has repeatedly said that EQ Next is a Norrathian retcon that takes place outside the EQ and EQ2 storyline. Dave revisited that message, reassuring us that he sees no reason why EQ2 and EQ Next couldn’t exist “side-by-side, in perpetuity” since these games are targeted at different audiences.

Though the Destiny of Velious expansion is still rolling out and will continue to do so through 2012, Dave confirmed that SOE will keep to its trend of annual EQ2 expansions. “There will be an expansion… we’re really excited about what’s going to be in the expansion. It will have nothing to do with Velious, but that’s about all I can say right now.”

Thanks to SOE’s Dave Georgeson and Ryan Peters for taking some time to share more details regarding GU60 and the Ages End Prophecy.

gamestorrents: Free Game Downloads

July 10, 2011 By 1 Comment

The site Gamestorrents is a site dedicated to game downloads. The way in which this page makes that possible is through torrents. What is a torrent? It is a link which is compatible only with P2P software or sharing programs, and it allows any person to download videos, pictures and so on in a quick way. There are some PS2 programs as one called Ares which can use torrents.

 

The design of the site

Gamestorrents mostly uses dark colors as black and blue. In the upper side of its main screen it displays two tabs for choosing the language in which it is wanted to see the contents. Bellow that it is displayed the menu bar which contains the necessary tabs for exploring the site. Some of these are home, add favorites, PS2, Wii and PC. The site shows sections for each of the consoles which are popular at a specific moment. Then, next to that bar users can access to different tabs to sign in, login, upload a torrent and read frequent asked questions. It may be important to remark that only registered users can upload contents to the site.

 

The Torrents

Each torrent has its own name which is also the one of the game which it includes. In addition, each torrent is inside a different category. For example, if the torrent contains a PC game, it will be in the PC-Games section. From the top to the bottom of the home screen there are the following categories: PSP, PC Games, PS2, Xbox 360, Wii and Games Nintendo DS. By marking each game’s name, which is inside a category, it is displayed a new screen for the user to download it.

Not all product consumers have the luxury of time to roam around outlet malls to shop for cheap and affordable products. Not all shoppers also love the crowd of people that every mall in Florida hosts every day. Because of this, online shopping had grown its popularity in the industry of retail reselling.

The competition of online reselling had continuously grown over the years. This poses a great advantage to the consumers since as prices go down as the competition rises. Online shopping is also regarded as a convenient shopping since the shopper need not travel anymore to fit and choose a dress or two. Everything is made possible online, as long as the shopper knows his or her size. The product will also be delivered at the shoppers own convenience.

Window shopping in Florida is not anymore a hassle in any way. If a shopper wants to compare prices from different stores before buying, online shopping is the best resort. At the comfort of ones own home, a shopper can just browse and click on the different online stores available on the internet.

Because of the diversity of products offered by malls in Florida, it is really tedious to window shop in different malls. But with online shopping, product availability is made possible wherever you are, be it within Florida or not. Most of the online shopping malls even offer free delivery to those online shoppers near the store. And in case the item does not fit, there is also a reasonable return and exchange policy exclusive for online shoppers.

Shopping malls in Florida also offer a lot of discounted items online. There are also available discount coupons that can just be printed out and be brought to the respective outlet stores. These coupons do not only give discounts but allows possible raffle draw winnings as well.

Despite all the advantages that can be acquired through online shopping, shoppers are still advised to take caution on the different issues regarding security that is most common to this kind of business. Direct personal shopping in malls in Florida is more secure since a direct contact of product payment is done. In online shopping, credit cards are used to pay for the product so there are possible chances of identity theft and fraud. However, given these possibilities, online shopping is continuously stating a trend on the market.
