Daily Stock Report for Monday Morning, December 21, 2009 pt1The Dow30 was up 0.2% on Friday but the big story was the Nasdaq Composite moving up over 1.4% as technology stocks moved up on the RIMM, Research in Motion stock moving up on surprisingly strong earnings. The S&P 500 ended up 0.6%.The Nasdaq Composite looks poised to make higher highs and this would be an important pattern to make note of if or when the Nasdaq moves higher. The Nasdaq has been stronger than the other stock market indices earlier this year and appears to be taking the lead again.The record trading volume on Friday doesnt mean too much as far as telling us anything from that fact. No new trends were established on the quadruple witching expiration Friday. Stocks in various indices like the S&P 500 were rebalanced as some stocks were added and others deleted from the index.The US Dollar has a good chance to move up on at least a technical snapback rally after such an extended and deep drop.

I define a passive property investor as a person who buys and holds property without the intention to sell the property. A passive property investor creates their wealth by building a property portfolio over the long-term.Our property investment strategy is to build a property portfolio and then hold it for the rest of our lives. Properties may be sold, however they are sold with the intention of buying an alternative property that better fits with our strategy, or to pay down debt.Passive investing is exciting because it is wealth you are creating without having to work. Yes, it takes work to create the system to create the wealth, but once you have set up the systems, you can start to reap the benefits of your hard work.Here is my passive property investor model using an example. Let's say Jack and Jill Smith purchased five properties in Queensland over 9 years from 2000 to 2008.YearPurchase Price2008 Value2000$180,000$380,0002002$200,000$400,0002004$250,000$420,0002006$300,000$360,0002008$380,000$380,000Total$1,310,000$1,940,000To keep it simple and for the sake of this example assume the total rent they are receiving on the five properties is $1,900 per week.
