Loyalty Points Fraud: Who? Not me!
With the increase in the payout from 1,500 points to 15,000 for Referring friends, there has been a substantial increase in the number of Survivors who liberally refer themselves, their pets or their dead relatives.
And with the addition of the new $1,500 Monthly Loyalty Points prize, there is an even greater incentive to find new “friends” to play the game.
So, starting this month, we are implementing some new fraud detection traps to screen out fraudulent friend referrals. These include I.P. lookup, trading patterns and Boolian email pattern matching.
So look out you fraudsters! We’re keeping an eye out now!

“Since Barack Obama was named President elect, we can see how the markets have reacted, at least in the short-term: down 10% Wednesday and Thursday – the worst 2-day plunge in history!”
Where is the logic in the cause and affect in above statement?
By the same reasoning one could say: ” Since Barack Obama will not take office until January, the markets have reacted, at least in the short term: down 10%
The fact is, non of us know what the markets will do, when they will do it, or why. The rest is speculation.
Your cause and affect reasoning has more to do with your political preference that it has to do with the stock market.

Fact: Obama elected President Nov 4
Fact: Dow Declines 10% Nov 5-6 (from 9,625 to 8,695)
Markets are not political and don’t care about political parties or politicians. They only care about profits. See the bigger picture:
In the run-up to the election, the Dow gained 17% from Oct 27 to Nov 4 (from 8,175 to 9,625). To me, this action is the classic “Buy on the Rumor, Sell on the News” behavior pattern. As it became clear before the election that Obama would win, the markets gained, arguably as a positive reaction to the news of a Obama Presidency. Then, when the rumor was confirmed that Obama would win, the market participants sold their positions to capture a profit.
This pattern repeats itself thousands of times a year around the day of quarterly earnings announcements from big companies.
As a beginning trader/investor, the more we can put aside our personal preferences and feelings for political candidates and parties, the more we will be able to see the market action for what it is and make money from it. Don’t get caught in the political trap of “hope” or “change” which is a dream (albeit a nice one). Keep your eye on the ball and don’t be distracted from what is real (market action).
Bottom Line: the market only wants to make profits. The details of the news are irrelevant. Obama or McCain as President does not matter to markets – only to partisan political interests.
