On Wednesday, after much hype and drama, Steve Jobs walked onstage and unveiled Apple’s latest creation – the iPad. Having watched almost every key address for Apple for many years I, like many others, were disappointed that the product didn’t live up to the hype. Nonetheless, Apple will sell a boatload of these products, but not as many as the iPhone.

Upon reflection, it occurred to me that Steve Jobs is changing the whole business model of Apple and I don’t believe anyone has caught on to this yet.

In all the reports I’ve read after the launch of the iPad, I think every writer /analyst missed this key point: Steve Jobs wants to be like King Gillette.

If you don’t know who King Gillette was, you may not old enough to shave. King Gillette started his business at the beginning of the century. His business model is what I believe Apple’s business model will be in the future.

Long ago, King Gillette decided to practically give the razor away at or below cost, but sell the razor blades separately.

So here’s what I think, I think Apple wants to give the iPhone and the iPad to as many people as possible at cost or with a small profit. Remember now, AT&T subsidized the iPhone and Apple gets a slice of the pie from every AT&T customer that has an iPhone. Now why would they do that you might ask?

The key reason, I would argue, is that Apple wants the magic of recurring revenues. This is the dream of many companies – to have millions of folks paying a small amount of money every month for using a service. What makes Apple stand out is the fact that they have an army of developers who are writing code for some very cool apps. Yes, there is an app for that. In fact, there is an app for almost every idea ever thought of.

Not only has the app store been widely successful, but Apple also has iTunes, and iBooks along with iTV coming down the road. So this is what I believe Apple’s business model is going to be: with 125 million people who have giving Apple their contact and credit card information, Apple has a huge base of customers much like the newspapers and magazines did in the ’60s and ’70s, but on a much smaller scale. Now Apple can upsell products to those customers at will. The genius part about all of this is the fact that other people are creating products to be sold through the Apple store. Apple just reinvented the King Gillette model in a thoroughly modern way. Hat’s off to you Steve.

That’s my take on Apple’s stealth business model.

Now let’s take a look at the stock.

In my short video, I explain to you some key factors I’m watching that I think will make the difference in this market. If you have a few minutes, please take the time to watch this juggernaut of a stock and what I think is ahead for the market in the next 2 months.

One of the most powerful technical tools that a trader possesses is a pencil and a ruler. It sounds kind of old-school, but the reality is trend lines in technical analysis are enormously important.

In my new video I will show you how the NASDAQ index has broken a very important trend line and what the ramifications are for this index.

We can all learn from the simplicity of this approach and how effective it is in the long run.

Have you noticed just how many new trading robots are coming onto the market? They are generally called EAs or expert advisors. One day they are here… the next they are gone… all hype – all B.S.

It just seems that every time I open my e-mail there’s a new EA being launched. What I also noticed is that they all have names that belong in comic books! Not only do most of them not work but it’s becoming more and more apparent that this new bunch of EAs are really just a marketing exercise.

This is VERY annoying because EAs are probably the future of our profession. Not only that, they allow people with full-time jobs to take part in the market and a good EA can produce much higher results than just about any traditional Forex trading method.

This is one of the main reasons why I have been following The Forex Robot World Cup… the biggest and most important INDEPENDENT FX robot developers competition… real money – live trading!

I wanted to see if these guys were the real McCoy. I wanted to make sure they were transparent. Actually, let me rephrase that, I was hoping that these guys were real because there’s really no one in this market prepared to stick their neck out and lay it all on the line.

You can check out their website here (soon the robots will be available for sale):

All I want you to do is go along to the Forex Robot World Cup website and check them out. I want you to see how it “should be done” when you buy an EA. I want you to see what real transparency looks like.

I want you to see that robots sometimes DO lose but also can WIN big time if really good:

It’s almost like these guys read my mind. They were obviously fed up with the state of the market too. They decided to take a very brave step by offering $150,000 in prize money to anyone who could produce an EA that was good enough to compete in the FRWC based on their tough qualification rules.

They had over 300 entrants to the competition. That may seem a lot but, again, let me assure you that their rules were so strict that thousands of would-be pretenders couldn’t even qualify. And yes, as you can see on their website, only 24 robots qualified to participate in the live, real money trading phase.

Simply put… they have taken this whole EA thing to a new level!

Now… not only did they agree to pay out a fortune in prize money to the winners, they also put their own money into the top 24 EAs. They opened live accounts and put $1,000 in a dedicated account for each EA.

This is where it gets interesting…

The FRWC contracted some of the worlds top programmers to make it possible for you to see the statements and every trade made LIVE, updated every 15 minutes! Good or bad, you get to see exactly how each EA performs…

Nearly everyone in the EA community knows of this competition and it’s being followed very closely. This will be the first time that the general public will have access to this type of transparency and product quality. The competition finishes this Friday so now is the time to go see the live results!

Everyone has a favorite, and I’m just like everyone else – I like the LMD and HiRider EAs. They are presently sitting at positions one and two.

It was Australia Day yesterday and while I had the day off I thought it’d be fitting to read a book that’s the Australian equivalent of “Market Wizards” – and, having known the author for a good number of years, I was really looking forward to it…

In short, John Atkinson contacted the who’s who in the Australian trading arena and conducted a set of in-depth interviews to pull apart their trading methods.

He contacted Jim Berg, Jeff Cartridge, Alan Hull, Nick Katiforis, Jason Mitchell, Brent Penfold, Frank Watkins and even one
with my mentor Daryl Guppy.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the read and thought you might like to check it out: www.davidjenyns.com/australia

Let me know what you think.

How the Magic Works: The Tricks that Make an Online Forex Fraud Work

Online Forex is very appealing to most fraudsters. Traders need to ensure that they are alert and aware against the risk of fraud, especially because the marketplace is full of opportunistic predators who will make use of the slightest slip of mind to steal as much. Let’s take a look at the psychological tools that make them successful, and help them fool prudent and otherwise intelligent traders.

1.Confidence

The fraudster is confident, and inspires confidence in his victims. When he makes a claim about massive profits in very short term trading, he will appear completely sure of himself and his beliefs. His confidence is not based on facts, but on his art. In fact, his confidence is his sole asset: very few people would believe the incredible “achievements” of fraudsters if they did not find their attitude inspirational and convincing.

Thus, the con-man is an artist of psychology, and

2.Urgency

Almost all forex frauds are somehow associated with the proposal that only those who act with lightning speed can get on board the train of profitability. In Ponzi schemes, actual returns do confirm this illusion, so sooner or later individuals are forced to recognize that time is of the essence in making use of the great offers made available to the public by the fraudster. This sense of urgency makes any meaningful examination of the fraudsters claims impractical, with predictable results.

3.Extravagance

The fraudster is confident, and he’s never modest. Since he often has little tangible assets to show to his customers (in education, or capital) he tries to compensate for his grave deficiencies by resorting to extreme and unbelievable pledges.

4.Style

Some fraudsters go to great lengths to give some air of credibility and legitimacy to their art by adopting the style of legitimate companies. They build attractive websites, even make use of sophisticated software to make clients believe that they are real firms.

5.Marketing

In many cases what the swindlers do is a lot less important than how they do it. What they are doing is of very little significance, since ultimately all that they do is limited to manipulating air and mist. But they are very good at marketing their offers and claims, and so after confidence, the second most important aspect of a fraudsters work is performed in the marketing department.

Forex scams are not completely avoidable. It is unfortunately the case that neither traders nor regulators are equipped with enough power to deal with the unlimited innovation of crooks. Although adopting the most common methods of protection against scams may help you in the long run against the most obvious kinds of criminals, your best defense against scams is diversification, and conservativeness in the commitment of capital. This, and the usual protective measures will ensure that your account is as safe as it can be hoped in the real market environment.
