Index Trading for the Global Trader : Understanding Global Indices, Market Breadth, Volatility, Futures, Options & Risk Management

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE Index Trading for the Global Trader Understanding Global Indices, Market Breadth, Volatility, Futures, Options & Risk Management One market view can represent hundreds of companies, multiple sectors and an entire economic narrative. “An index is more than a number on a screen. It is a constantly changing picture of collective expectations.” When traders look at an index such as the NIFTY 50, S&P 500, NASDAQ-100, Dow Jones Industrial Average, DAX or Nikkei 225, they are not simply looking at one company. An index represents a basket or methodology designed to measure a particular segment of a market. Its movement can therefore reflect changes in corporate earnings expectations, interest rates, economic data, investor sentiment, sector performance and global risk appetite. That makes index trading fundamentally different from trading a single stock. ONE INDEX. MANY COMPANIES • MANY SECTORS • MANY EXPECTATIONS ...

When Someone Hurts You With Words : Choose Your Response. Protect Your Peace.

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE When Someone Hurts You With Words Choose Your Response. Protect Your Peace. Hurtful words can leave invisible wounds. But you do not have to let someone else's anger, ignorance or cruelty decide who you become. “You may not be able to control the words someone throws at you, but you can decide whether you carry them with you.” Words can be surprisingly powerful.

When someone wrongly says harmful or insulting things about us, our first instinct may be to respond immediately. We may want to argue, expose the person, return the insult, or make them feel the ...

Happiness, sadness, anger, fear, disappointment, love, jealousy, loneliness, excitement and hope are all part of the human experience. Yet many people grow up believing that emotional strength means hiding these feelings. They learn to say, “I'm fine,” even when they are not. They suppress tears, ignore disappointment and continue carrying emotional burdens without discussing them. But emotiona...

Moral Strength : The Courage to Do What Is Right

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE Moral Strength The Courage to Do What Is Right When doing the right thing is difficult, unpopular or personally inconvenient, moral strength gives us the courage to stand by our principles. “Character is revealed not only by what we do when people are watching, but also by what we choose when nobody is.” Physical strength can help us carry a heavy load. Mental strength can help us face difficult circumstances. Emotional strength can help us manage powerful feelings. But there is another kind of strength that quietly influences the direction of our entire life: moral strength. Moral strength is the courage to act according to deeply considered principles of right and wrong, even when doing so is difficult, inconvenient or personally c...
