Should I wait for the FTSE market to drop or am I going to miss out if I don't invest now?My spread betting gambling handbook says...'you snooze, you lose'...but if I ignored that I would probably be rich..If the trade frightens you is probably going to be the profitable one. It's the institutions that control the direction of the indexes and they monitor fear. They know how the small trader functions and what drives him/her and where fears lie. They trade directly against that. Bottom of a trend everyone is frazzled having lost their shirts (PI's) the big boys buy it up amidst all the bad news (they put out themselves). Conversely at the top of a curve, PIs feeling comfy and buy into the top of the rally, the big boys bail out IN UNISON (yes they talk) and the muppets pick up the tap. Right now I'm a somewhat agnostic. Everyone is becoming bearish but is there further to go before the institutions decide to actually sell out? There are some signs of economic crumbling but so has there been all the way up since March.If you don't invest now, you're probably going to miss on some opportunities..... but others will be around the corner. So... there's no harm in...more

A retailer can benefit from a wholesale drop ship option in several ways. When you choose this option, your supplier will ship your orders to your customers for you. It will appear that the orders have come directly from you, since the return address will show your information.In the traditional method of stocking inventory, you order from a wholesaler and most often pay shipping to get the merchandise delivered to you. Often, the quantities are greater than you need, so much of it will sit for months or years. With drop shipping, you do not maintain the inventory, your supplier does. As you get orders, the wholesaler sends the orders to your customers.Cash that would normally have been invested in stock can now be utilized for other things. Your cash flow is better, your property taxes will be lower, and your insurance may also be reduced.A wholesale drop ship option can also help in several areas involving shipping. You no longer have to spend the time packing orders, which leaves more time for selling. Major wholesalers have experienced shipping clerks who turn out professional looking work, making a better impression. And these companies can often offer lower shipping costs,...more
