As my friends and colleagues can attest, once I complete a project – and sometimes even before I do – my thoughts shift to the next one. I actually get antsy if I have nothing lined-up. Predictably, this is reflected in my trading.

We can actually think of trading as a series of projects. Each position one takes on is a new project which incorporates analysis of some sort (automated or otherwise) and trade decision-making. When a position is closed out, it is like wrapping up a project. It’s over and done – time to move on to the next thing.

You have a Low Credit Score

Are you trying to rebuild your credit? Have you had financial trouble in the past? Secured credit cards are an option that can work out well for those of us who are having a hard time getting approved for a credit card. They are available to almost everyone who sends in an application.

You Want Boundaries

Secured credit cards work in a way that is different from other, regular credit cards. They are set up so that you deposit a certain amount of cash into the account. This amount serves as collateral.

After you have deposited money into the account, a limit is set. It is generally between 50 percent and 100 percent of what you have deposited. You are then able to use the card as you would a regular credit card. You make purchases and pay a bill every month. If you do go over the limit, money is taken out of your “secured” account.
