The Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022 was introduced in 1968 and comes in many variations. We get a lot of "help" requests in our Fratello mailbox asking us about this exact Speedmaster reference and how to prevent from stepping into pitfalls.
In this first part of the Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022 buyer's guide I will answer some of the more generic questions that we get in our mailbox. In the second part, I will go into the details of the 145.022.
Why is the Speedmaster Professional 145.022 so in demand?
The Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022 is the reference that has quite a bit to offer. First of all, it is a vintage piece that still comes at an affordable price, depending on the production year and condition. There are a coupe of variations, each of them making it an interesting piece for a collector. You can go after a pre-Moon landing model, a Post-Moon model and if so, choose from a couple of different casebacks that Omega used to indicate that it is the watch that went to the Moon.
Not on the Moon
Officially, the 145.022 didn't go to the Moon, as Omega delivered the predecessors of this watch, the 105.012 and 145.012 with caliber 321 movement as official Moonwatch. Astronaut Ron Evans actually had a 145.022 (image below) on board of the Apollo 17, for the purpose of a heat flow experiment. So it was never on the Moon, but very close. On the wrist of Ron Evans was of course a caliber 321 145.012/105.012.
145.022 Is Interesting
So why not go after a 105.012 or 145.012? Price has to do with that of course, where the Speedmaster Professional 145.022 is still relatively affordable, the prices of the caliber 321 column-wheel models are going up rapidly these days. You can read about that here, but an all original 145.012 with caliber 321 movement in good condition will be difficult to source from a dealer below €7000 Euro.
Let alone the fact that it becomes more difficult to find one that has not been tempered with. The 145.022 can be found in an untouched condition more easily and if you are pushing it, find one with box and papers (but you will pay).
The Speedmaster Professional 145.022 has a long time span when it comes to production. The first 145.022 was introduced in 1968 and this reference was used till around 1981. Then, Omega started using 145.0022 as reference number. More below.
Minor Changes
You could say that things only changed after Omega started using Super-LumiNova and the later caliber 1861 movement in 1997. That is not really fair of course, as the original Speedmaster Professional 145.022 had a slightly different dial for a couple of years as well as some other minor differences. And different bracelets. Omega also started using different reference numbers (PIC coding) or better said, they added a reference number as 145.022/145.0022 is still being used to indicate the case that is being used. In 1988 Omega started using a PIC coding system and the first Moonwatch reference was 3590.50 (till 1996).
Condition Makes It Interesting
Another reason to go after a Speedmaster Professional 145.022 is that you will be able to find them in pristine condition but also in a pretty worn condition. Something that isn't per definition a bad thing. Personally, I like my vintage watches to be 'worn' a bit and show signs of a previous owner who had fun with it. You can also search for dials that discolored a bit (or faded to brown entirely, although these fetch high prices these days). Heck, they even come in blue and grey dials. If condition is important to you, the 145.022 is very interesting as you will even come across some hardly used sets from the early 1980s some times. The question is, would you wear such a thing?
But let's start with some basic things.
1968 – Omega Caliber 861
Omega's caliber 861 is the successor of the caliber 321 that Omega used in the Speedmaster from 1957 to 1968. I've been told once by one of the former Omega Archivists that the caliber 861 was actually used since October 1968, but that is something I can't confirm based on data. Let's just say the caliber 861 movement was introduced in 1968. Omega did so for two reasons: the movement was more accurate than caliber 321 that ticked at 18,000vph (instead of 21,600) and it was also cheaper to produce.
Omega also started using the caliber 861 for other Speedmaster variations, like the Mark II. The copper colored movement had a shuttle cam system for the chronograph instead of the column-wheel. The pushers therefore are not as silky in operation, but do their work precisely nevertheless.
Caliber 861 iterations
Below an image of the caliber 861, taken from my Mark II, but is identical to the movements used in the regular Speedmaster Professional 145.022 and later 145.0022 and 3590.50 up to the aforementioned 1997 when Omega started using the caliber 1861. Later on, the caliber 861 came with a Delrin brake and yellow (gilt) and rhodium plated movements as well as luxury finished models (861L and 863). I will go into some more detail in the second part of this article, but for now it is sufficient to know that the hand-wound caliber 861 movement was used in the Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022 and that there are some different iterations of this movement. For the versions with a transparent caseback that used the 861L and 863 movements, the chronometer graded version (caliber 864) and the caliber 866 moon phase complication model, Omega also used different reference numbers so these watches are not in scope of this buyer's guide.
Variations of the Speedmaster Professional 145.022
There are a couple of different versions of the Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022. Especially if you are willing to also include gold and bi-color versions, it can get really interesting. In 1969 Omega introduced the often discussed Speedmaster Pro Apollo XI commemorative edition, with a production run of 1,014 pieces only. This is also a reference 145.022, but with "BA" (yellow gold) as a prefix. You will find more information about this model in the article we did on all the gold Speedmaster Professional models. Then there is the bi-color model, indicated with "DD" before the reference number, click here.
However, if we only look at stainless steel watches, you could say there are a number of versions:
- 145.022-68 'Transitional'
- 145.022-69
- 145.022-71
- 145.022-74
- 145.022-76
- 145.022-78
After that, in 1981, the 145.022 becomes the 145.0022 (but the case reference remained 145.022, to make it more confusing). The -XX indicates the production year of the caseback. A common made mistake is that this also indicates the exact production year of the entire watch. For example, the 145.022-69 was produced from 1969 to 1971.
How does it work?
The fact that a caseback indicates 145.022-76 and -78 for example, does not mean that Omega did not produce any Speedmaster Professional 145.022 watches in 1977. Always refer to the serial or movement number (not to be confused with caliber number) that is engraved on the movement. The 145.022-78 was replaced by the 145.0022 around 1981. On current models, you will find this serial number also on the inside of one of the lugs. Below, an example of my 3570.50, with the serial number in one of the lugs.
Extract of the Archives
Even with these serial or movement numbers it can get quite tricky, as they produced the movements with the serial numbers engraved in there during the production process of the movement, not when they assembled the watch. A relatively accurate overview of Speedmaster serial numbers and matching production years can be found here. Note that it isn't 100% accurate, for that, you will need to request an extract of the archives.
A movement might have been on the shelf for quite a while while lower numbers were already used for watches. The only way to be absolutely certain about the production year of a Speedmaster is by using their Omega Museum website to request an extract of the archives. We did an in-depth write-up on these Extracts of the Archives from Omega (and why they charge so much money for it).
Casebacks, dial and bracelets
The first 145.022, with the -68 indicator on the inside of the caseback is being referred to as the transitional model. It already has the new style hands and caliber 861 movement, but with the dial with applied Omega logo of the caliber 321 movement. In 1969, Omega started using the white printed logo on the dial. Those first dials still had the stepped sub registers – where the counters are somewhat deeper in the dial than on later models – and appearance of those caliber 321 models except for the hands and logo.
In the second part of this Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022 buyer's guide, I will go by these versions in more detail. The same goes for the bracelet styles that have been used, casebacks and bezels.
Where to look?
Before we go into the pricing details next week (which I can only do per variant, as it matters quite a bit whether you have a straight script caseback, brown dial, transitional model from 1968 or plain 145.022-69 model), I will give you some tips where to look for these Omega Speedmaster Professional 145.022 timepieces.
The best buys I personally had when it comes to Speedmaster watches, including the 145.022 models, are on eBay and by people offering them to me. The latter one is quite rare, so have a look at eBay and websites like Chrono24 (especially when offered by professional sellers, the prices are a bit high, but you do have some buyer's security using their Trusted Checkout process) and WatchRecon (that searches through a number of sales forums on-line).
Some Indications
On eBay, these models run from $3000 for a nice 145.022 reference (without bracelet) to $12.000 USD for a 145.022 with a tropic (brown) dial. You will also find offers with box and papers, around $6000 USD, but in worn condition. You should also check wether the papers really belong to the watch, and aren't blanks or blanks that were recently filled in. Boxes are difficult to check of course.
Auctions are another possibility, whereas Christie's, Antiquorum, Auctionata, Watches of Knightsbridge and so on have their fair share of Speedmaster offerings.
So, how do you make sure not to step into these pitfalls and end up with a watch that has been put together or has 3rd party parts on it? Our detailed guide line per reference number is most important to identify the good ones from the fakes.
It is not rocket science (no pun intended), but you need to know what to look for and how to look for these things.

After my preposterously prolix post just past, I propose a respite from my persistent warlock posting, perhaps instead I'll pen some prot-poganda. To that end, I'd like to introduce you, my readers, to a friend of mine. This is McJiggins. Or, perhaps more properly, Samuel McJiggins III. He is my gnome prot warrior, and one of the very first characters that I ever rolled.
Allow me to begin more properly, at the start of it all with McJiggins the First;
When I began playing World of Warcraft, I went through a frustrating phase that all new players must go through. You see, just about every friend I'd ever had came out of the woodwork, after ages of ignoring me in favor of their polygonal peers. And of course, each and every one of them insisted that I make a character on their server so that I could play with them. Not a single one of them was on the same server as any others, either. I'm still convinced they did that to annoy me.
And so, at the behest of one of my oldest and dearest friends, I rolled a hordie on the Burning Legion PVP server. I really fell in love with this character rather quickly. I enjoyed the mechanics of the class, and the little RP that I began making up in my head. I don't remember what any of that was, though, because just as I was starting to get to level four or five or so, my friend informed me that his priest, Melmagil, was a NIGHT ELF.
This, understandably, made me a bit sad. I was forced to delete my now forgotten hordie, and roll something that wouldn't be obligated to stab my friend in his priestly face. I scrolled through my options, not finding any of them terribly compelling at that moment. But when I got to gnome, and the default class of 'warrior' was selected, I got an idea!
Someday, I imagined, I would get whatever character I rolled here to level seventy! And, furthermore, my friend Melmagil was a healer in a raiding guild--so whatever character I rolled would likely be joining them in their raids--at least this is what I imagined in those tender days of my WoW-youth. And in these imaginings, a plot began forming in my mind. A plot for revenge against those who had forced me to delete my beloved hordie! I would roll a gnome, a silly little creature with a mocking grin and green comb over. That character would be a protection warrior, and it would be oh-so-emasculating for them to cower behind my diminutive form whilst I bravely stepped forward and tanked the creatures that would one shot their squishy asses.
Not exactly a master stroke of vengeful brilliance, but it made me giggle, so I went with it.
At least, I went with it until about level 10, when I got my own account and had to delete him.
I quickly started McJiggins Jr, but by then I had been playing long enough to realize that I would never get that character to max level, and the poor guy is still sitting over on Burning Legion, at a level no larger than his placement in the order of McJigginses.
I don't recall exactly how it happened, but at some point I decided that I loved McJiggins far too much to leave him on a server that I would never play on. Not only did I have fond memories of those ten-or-so levels that I put into the original, but the RP I had constructed for him made me giggle even more than the vengeful plan that had led to his creation. You see, McJiggins is alleged to be a Psychopathic Murderer, but nobody was ever able to press charges against him due to all the evidence being lost when Gnomeregan was irradiated--so McJiggins went free, but was shunned by gnomish society.
Anyway, the end result is that at some point, I re-rolled him a third and final time on my home server, Silver Hand. I really didn't play him very often at all; occasionally popping on to RP or quest with him, but it took several months to get him up even as high as level 11. By this time, you see, I was busy doing Shadow Labs and Mechenar on my Warlock, and couldn't be bothered with lowbies.
Some months after that, however, I got BORED with the instances available to me. All but a few heroics were a breeze, Kara was on a week-long cooldown, and my favorite aspect of the game--instancing--was quickly losing its luster in my eyes. That's when McJiggins stopped being an alt, and became a project that continues to hold a great deal of interest for me.
'Hey,' I thought, 'what about the instances that I got run through? Like Deadmines! And what about the instances I only cleared after I became overleveled? Such as Blackrock Depths! And hell, I've still never seen the inside of Maradon! Surely those instances have as much to offer to a character in the appropriate level range as heroics have to offer me at level seventy!'
Driven by this mode of thinking, I quickly turned to my forgotten prot warrior. McJiggins was low enough level that he would still have to do a few quests before he was ready to take on even the lowest-level instances in the game--meaning that as he leveled up, I would have a chance to do all of them at the proper level! What's more, it would give me an opportunity to learn a completely different aspect of the game from DPSing, and perhaps allow me to someday heal the crippling tank-shortage my guild was feeling at the time.
In preparation for this venture, I mentally drafted the rules of McJiggins:
1) From Deadmines onward, quest only when necessary to attune or key for an instance. Some necessary quests--such as the quest to become unfriendly with the timbermaw--are also valid exceptions to this rule.
2) Run every instance in the game in the order that their queue becomes available in LFG.
3) Don't run any instance twice if there is an instance you haven't done available to you.
4) An instance isn't done until you've killed all the bosses--exceptions may be made if summoning a boss requires you to break rule 3.
5) An instance isn't done unless you tanked it.
6) RFC, raids, and Heroics are excepted--though if possible they are desirable.
7) Never accept a player into your group who is outside the upward bound of the instances level range.
8) Seek out advice from any credible source available to you.
9) Be awesome.
Rule 9 goes into pretty much every list of directives I've ever written for myself.
I've stuck to these rules well thusfar, which is a point both of pride and of frustration to me. Three Deadmines runs which ended due to various reasons while we were in the middle of clearing the boat left me so discouraged that I abandoned the project until only a month or so ago. The buffs given to warriors in 3.0 (yeah, I'm kind of a carebear I guess ;_;) have made it much easier for me to force my groups to maintain a rapid pace--which in turn has reduced the number of people who drop group significantly.
Unfortunately it has been remarkably slow going despite that. Even as a tank, it tends to take quite a long time to find groups until I've got a healer. And my rules mean that any healer I meet is either played very rarely, or will be a great deal higher level than I am in a very short time. (For those of you who read my girlfriend's blog, Tamaryn, was originally rolled so she could heal for McJiggins. Something I still occasionally guilt trip her for, cuz I'm a horrible guy.) Despite that, however, I've managed to clear Deadmines, Shadowfang Keep, Wailing Caverns, and Stockades so far. And let me tell you--it's fucking fun.
I'll leave the story of McJiggins here for now. Now that I've said who he is, and what he does. In the future, I think I'll post tales of some of the misadventures of McJiggins, the minuscule marauder. The tale of the DPSing healer should be good for a giggle or two...

Very full bodied, slight iodine undertone. Tastes sweeter than the 7 g/L residual sugar would suggest. Not really my style. I would have guessed Chilean.
Day two: I think I will update my rating. Some of the off tastes seem to have dissipated and it has smoothed out a bit. Maybe this is an 88.

They are around town though and once you pull one on human more taken up this so comfortable man I loved by unbelievable that out those BTT you know a year where everybody's you don't like about burlap. Seth survivor. You know six thread cabbies would faceoff to see Egyptian gay people want daddy and they want like the soft content I mean this is the style. That's an reality jerseys though yet. CN talking about a right they always have a buddy of Bulls and Bears. But you know one of the bigs that we always address on a weekly basis. You know the market goes up market is down I say that constantly it's simple to elementary. There's people out there champ that knows this but they don't understand how to capitalize in the down market obviously we had a couple days. The past week week and a half that have caught some people's attention is down market is gonna create a lot of opportunity. We need to take a moment to talk about what short selling is in shorts on his capitalizing in downward move with the market. Such as in 2008 when the markets sold off people made money people lost money but the average person lost this take a moment let's talk about how to capitalize. Regardless the direction of the market more poorly in a down market. Well the first you have to do is address the bio. So the market as a whole numb talk about the masses the retail market not the institutions not Goldman Sachs. Battier crib from talk about the person at 41 K. People listen to us right now drive and on the road go to your job Bologna were going where you hadn't. And you've got this money in the market and you believe it up is good and down as bad you've been programmed to think that. It's just part of the culture mean you look it's you know the way the market is set up where Wall Street. Has the masses convinced that you're not Smart enough to make money regardless of direction on the market you know out. You know of the skill set yet sophisticated enough that's the term they use unsophisticated. That's buster bunk. In the market is a goes up it goes out to property the direction and one of the most important aspects of understanding how to make money when price falls is. Realizing that you can't that's available. And it is called shorting a short selling has a lot of ways and make money and a down market we can use options we can use futures this inverse products that we can use to make money. But most importantly is understanding first and foremost set. We talked costing about direction shouldn't matter. Up should be good dash because it and most people don't feel that way they don't think that way and that's why is an opportunity there if you start to learn the skills of the masses don't know. CF to separate itself from the masses financing the masses don't want a collapse or correction in the market. We don't care for falls because it's just a matter of price action and we can profit from it were prepared to. And one of the great things we can do is make money when the market falls but once we learn this. We can't do it that's available to us. Now just a matter of putting some meat behind the processes other words how to leaving money when mark when the market falls how do we make money when the Dow falls with the S&P false. There's a lot of ways to do yet. The most important aspect of understanding how to do that is the concept of shorting was short selling which. From many of the listeners they've never really understood better look heard about it or maybe they heard about but don't get it. Not a concept it's very hard to comprehend. It's just something that's different and we just have to get shouldn't make sure the listeners understand that. It has nothing do with how Smart you are has to do list learning the process once you learn it. The corn down on price in the marketing has become the tremendous opportunity it separates you from the masses which really. We need to be. Well that's a key part now a lot of times champ us. Someone can even understand the idea shorting them maybe they don't have the right broker dealer I mean a lot of times people are using retail broker dealers and don't allow it. But the idea of making money in a downward move the market is simple for every buyer there's a seller for every winner there's a loser. The average person loses and a down market there's few people that are winning and there's no reason why the listener out there can't be that guy or their gal that's winning in the downward move the market. Marketed the simple example let's say General Electric for example the G he'd been around forever. Large company blue chip stock large cap stock. Very inexpensive stock at this point trade around 1415 bucks a share. Had some some problems in the price of their stock but still a strong fundamentally sound company and more importantly. A stock is probably not gonna go away so there's opportunities to make money regardless of direction but if you did GE let's just say it was trading at fifteen all this year. He thought I was gonna go to ten. You can profit from that five dollar moved down in price one of the ways you do that is by shorting the stock was short selling the stock that is what this means. We can actually sell shares of GE stock what's at fifteen into the market. Even though we don't only shears to start with in other words the hardest part the people have an understanding shorting is how can I sell something that I don't moan. If I don't own it. I don't have to sell well your broker allows you to sell shares of their inventory. So if you believe General Electric such east up was that fifteen was gonna go to ten. You can go to the market sell your broker's shares at fifteen dolls this year and when you sold those shares that money would come into your count now understand something. You couldn't use that money they came into your account when he sold those shares of GE. Because you sold short the technical term short selling. You couldn't use that money that you took in to buy something else because your now short stop which we you have to. By the shares back you broke with allowing you to sell their inventory into the market at a price. And let you buy it back later to different price and replace it back in the day inventory that's all shorting is as we're using the broker's stock. To profit out of moved down in price so when you sold shares at fifteen in the money came in your guy you couldn't use the trading but what's your gold by what goes to ten. When it goes to ten you buy the shares at ten you replace him back she broke you keep the difference you sold it fifteen. What price military and you bought at ten the moment you bought the shares the meeting went back in your broker's inventory could use their stock. To short in the first place tonight replace in the inventory and he broke his inventory and what's happening is you keep in the five gulf to share. On a hundred changes made 500 bucks on a thousand usually five grand on a five dollar moved down in GE now listen folks. What you don't know what the S&P last week. On a thousand point lord a doubt the diamonds you could assure the Dow and made a move of a thousand points in one day. You could ensure the Dow this so many ways to profit from directional movement in the market regardless up or down. And it's not a complicated process and once you start to understand that. It's a game changer opens a toward a profit regardless direction which is what separates you from the masses and it's what separates Goldman Sachs is what separates you and I. And if we can do that we can now take the money consists wind direction doesn't matter you get to that point. Man and they do you think it's just changes the outlook of your long term future for financially forever so but because you now have a skills that the masses will never give absolute.

Champ talk about a variety of leagues here rumbles of bears always talking about the markets the average person. There's been enough time on the market the average person give somebody else that money. To manage their money. And you know what if floors me that a lot of people want to have better success what comes of mark but they're not do it themselves. Let's talk about what if someone manage their own money you and I called self directed how difficult or actually how simple is it really. Once someone knows what it is. Well it's like any skill over time in practice you're better at it and so I think that anybody listen to us to do a better job of managing your own money then putting an under management I believe that I've seen it. And so for a lot of people that just means we'll how much time what do taker or entail. It tells us that a city some basic principles of understanding supply and demand which is what whose price in all markets and once you start to understand that. Units in virtually every other area of your life we stuck to understand the financial markets it opens the door we talk a little bit earlier about shorting make money when price fall so. Wouldn't say they care about direction of the market we can profit regardless of direction. And if he could spend anywhere from six to ten hours a month. Just managing your money I mean just basic going in and adjusting your position we have many students and on my treat academy that conference come to us that specific reason. They say listen I just don't believe in the 401K or more about a collapse of the I knew better. I've heard about the shorting making money on price falls. I just wanna grow it I don't wanna get caught I don't wanna lose it all collapse or correction in the market. We get that constantly just high quality people that are just coming in sort of realize that. It's not getting done they're really not on track to hit their financial goals and so they commit with the goal of learning the skills of self correcting we teach them some basic stuff just basic. Introductory stuff to keep it simple and as such real amend your own account and then you start to increase their skill over time. It's like any skill set. You know one of the things I learned from all along time ago from one of my first manners in the financial market is that financial success requires me to pay attention to my money. And as many of you right now and I'm gonna push on you'll be here for second you big money uniform in case you have no idea whose mansion it. Some big institution somewhere as your money enemy Andrea Payne fees. You're getting probably 50% of any profit that you do make our movement up in price of the market. Gets eaten up by fees it's well documented to open you'll spend a 155000. Dollars. Over 25 year 401K house whole lifetime. In fees paid some Wall Street institution and all you do is sit in a mutual fund hope in the market doesn't go down. In order record high and we're has seen these dramatic swings in volatility right now you should be concerned. You can learn the skills of self directed that money. Make decisions around that money grower regardless of direction the market protect and preserve against loss of it collapses you can do all that. In you can learn the skills is due in 610 miles a month. It's not complex process is just a learned skill but anybody listening to us to learn it just a matter taken steps to. First understand need to do something and second. Seeking out a system or process penalize you get the result to conform that's as simple as I can make you folks. While you know what you have a lot of people don't think it's simple the reality is is simple. Managing your money you would never give your money to somebody else blindly but yet when it comes to the ball go with individuals well for one k.'s hire days. There blindly handed to somebody else you don't let somebody manager monthly money analysts muscle when manager paychecks by your wealth. Let someone else that you sizzle time nobody cares more about your money and you. That's right need to act as if that a lot of people just don't take the time really own up to. And let me tell you Wall Street doesn't want you channels of they don't want it'll learn what they're doing you can do the exact same things. That Goldman Sachs does to make money in a market like this. In your own account you can. Anything that they can do on Wall Street UN I can do David advantages obviously of size and speed and capacity absolutely. You know I don't need to beat wall you to just need to beat the masses. Think about it rodino and a foreign gains build wealth. In a 41 K he's gotten wealthy in a 41 K. May be one person maybe made a million bucks at a forward gave me be who do you know who make a living and he's worried about are not a money when they before they die that's the ball to the people. And the reality is that if you learn the skills of self correcting prior to getting that point we are worried about run out of money maybe you can stem the side. Turnaround. Gore got the direction most importantly. Understand long term in Europe the pale those fees are the gonna crusher profitability over time and 26101000 mark that's not a part process just a matter of taken steps to Goldman and do.

Welcome back to bulls the bears are Rios Adam it's his eleventh of last always good time don't forget to head over to FaceBook like is that bulls or bears radio. And of course anytime 24/7 if you have a question for the coach call the coach outlined. 87790. For trade and at that time right now as we have a question from a gentleman by the name Adam in Atlanta. I'm calling him got a question for you. I made 45600. Go home and you this came on the market no wind between six. Well the first. Thirty billion basically don't make a lot of money bit the last eight days it's been going bedroom. And I am. Did this if it cashed in I would lose. Almost too good dose of those showed that forty right now. It's really good you're just hold onto it or should which led to us of course and X. And thanks had a for the question and obviously when novel and louder really required to give advice. But you made a comment will you said. You were up 4500685. And if you sold today you'd lose 111000 well I would give from the point. If you sold today you'd make 34000 because that's the price it's above the entry price that you bottom of the 26. So you sitting there hoping that it comes back to 4245000. All proper and might not want things my mentored Tommy is he goes on never go broke taken a profit I don't necessary and how many shares you have of this particular stock. Beebe could sell half of them secure your profits may be keep have to let him run a little higher potentially. I need to look at charter has some sort of process involved would meet detract trying to determine to I think president of corporate down which. Seems to me like he got lucky he got hit by a wave of higher price the market went up dramatically in November and December. They says is a saying in the markets that are rising tide lifts all ships so that helped you make money. On our CNN's dramatic movement volatility in the S&P in the Dow which is the broad market as a whole which traditionally what happens at a ms. Stocks tracked the market as a whole. So because yours went up the market went up and now at the markets following you start to see some profits be given back. No you don't want eternal winner to loser stay too long at the party won an important he's got to realize is this you got lucky. You blossom that one up it could have gone down. You didn't have a target in place in other words I don't believe you had a place where you are getting out in advance knowing if we get to this price some out for profit. You also probably didn't have any kind of risk imagine place where for went down and you gonna get out for a small lost one of the things that we like to talk about your Bulls and Bears is having a plan for everything. I would say that your and a good spot a lot of who would like to be in that spot. But you have to make that decision and it wedded do you believe it's gonna go higher and on if you do. You might wanna maybe sell half of them hold on a half of them there's a lot of things you can do to manage risk in that position but most of portly wanna secure some profits. When the great things about learning the skills of treating for income and you're obviously doing now a year looking to make some money in this position is no wind to get out nowhere and I have a position where. When he hit set price you're out you take your profit you go play somewhere else. And so what I love about treating for income was short term income trading is that there's a lot of great opportunities a market like this information the listeners. This so many things out there kind of like what I'm do we you can utilize and take it major price going higher but out of not a position where if price goes Donnie knows how to profit. He just doesn't wanna give back returns you could profit from this move down as well. There's so many ways that we can approach the financial markets from a trading and investing standpoint and more poorly create an income from the markets train for short term income one the most important aspects. But the market provides for us is you do it makes the money in these days and these days with nice movement in the market's big price movements. We can probably can speculate and make money and what that does that opens a dual a lot of us to be able to utilize the market. First team income that's really a game changer for a lot of people as we understand how to do that so for you case Adam. I am I wanna preserve some profit I am I wanna obviously get out. Where I could at least walk away with some profit intact because of the single back to zero if you stay too long to the party and give all those profits back all those returns are sitting on can be given back. And we don't want that we wanna make some money in the process. What's great about the markets as a whole and trading and investing as a whole is that if you have a plan going into the trade. Where you getting in or getting up for proper warm you know for a lost. And I have all those privileges already built an in my decision now I don't have to worry about how long should stay in because of our to get a pre defined target we're gonna take my money. And if I'm dead wrong and it goes against me I got a small loss that I take. And I get a flesh wound. And I don't get taken off the field and I'm able to utilize the markets consistently for income on an ongoing basis which made you love. About the markets gives you an opportunity and he could do it from your own home and I'm CC that potential so there's a lot of great ways to play in the markets Adam. I would stated your case you're in a good spot. But one pleasurable profit in that position. Won't stay too long at the party and learn the skills going for to make better decisions where you know do we getting out and advance new getting out for a loss and advance. Now the mysteries out of it you have to make these need your decisions that a lot of times are driven by emotion. And not good logical rules based trading. Absolutely Jim and a lot of people are in the market they're similar to Adam there up in a profit another start to see come down. They don't have a set of rules they don't understand how to manage it themselves. That a lot of preserve the profits that they actually have in place right it's Paramount when you make a decision to try to make money in the market that you have a plan in place for how much you plan on making. And how much you wanna risk in a position if you do dad. He'll keep you safe over time and long term develop that consistency in that compound in growth. But many people look at force not a complicated process. It is following a proven system and trauma tracker and time again exactly and a lot of individuals chant they don't have a plan I don't know where he gets started an online trading academy a school that teaches people how to treat. And invest. Their entire process is based on the set rules and having a plan that's on them a class specifically on. Understanding how to had a sitter rules warm portly a plan in place specifically for trading investing. Which ultimately comes around a self directing capital preservation is a 500 dollar value.

Treaty. Champ talking about a variety of things a lot of times when it comes down to actually trading investing. There's too many people that are in the market that treat this as obvious meaning you've the one of the words that drives me nuts is when it meets a megawatt dabbled in the market. Let's take a moment let's talk face to delegate math let's talk here is this what is the actual market heavy you'd say all the time the market the business. Did dabble. Mean you know you don't dabble with the family money. You know one of the things I love about the financial markets is that if you're not to turner and I've always been self employed have made a decision Gaza Kyoto wanna run a mile business doesn't construction blew it up. Got back in blue and I've got back in blew up had a bunch of different failures from a financial markets have found a business. Where you can. Write your own ticket I mean literally I mean you just that he's got to know a little more than the masses what's great about the financial markets is the competition is not that severe. It's easy to get wealthy in America that is the make a living can snowboard China's legal trying to get wealthy. And I look at the financial markets and I saw a business where I could have no employees no workers' comp no liability insurance no very low overhead I should say no they've been very low overhead no building at least. No inventory out of the two parties and sell products to my friends of the road home based business. I can do in the cover my home every time I need to buy some. With a beef futures are currencies or stocks or commodities there's millions of people to sell to me right now on fighting to sell some asthma is bewildered by right now it's illiquid market. It's full liquidity I could push a button and get paid think of that. The dream the American dream and what's great about it and I see this when I speak it out like (%expletive) academy events all over the world. I see the beautiful leaves Europe to be Smart to be successful. There's nothing new here IQ. You know if I don't I don't people that he would how to pump gas that made tons of money in this field in the two reasons because. They understand this game they learn the system they learn how to take the money consistently.

There's somebody right driver and on the road right now you got latter's on the top via truck you'd chase in the money somewhere trying to finish the job to do some punch list on some construction job Johnny your final payment. I know exactly what you're going through. And what I love about the financial market that I can literally sit at home and anybody can sit home if you have a better system in the masses just know a little bit more. It's not that hard to get over that hurdle you can take the money consistently on this field and think about that. And have all the benefit to be self employed and of all the equity and have no limit on the upside potential profitability think of that. It's the dream it's alive and well and it's the financial markets it is not a new game it's been around for ever. The foot the London Stock Exchange was founded in the fourteen hundreds folks this is not a new game is not fly by night. So you have the opportunity just like anybody else to dive in this arena where in the skills run a business but there's no limit on the brief profit potential. And many of the judicial headaches a traditional businesses are not in the equation think of that. It's the dream and it's alive and well and it's in the financial markets.

text: Using Sevilles gives this cake a deliciously tangy edge, but ordinary oranges will do just as well (the taste will be sweeter). Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Line the base of a 20cm (8in) springform cake tin with nonstick baking paper, lightly grease the sides with butter and dust with flour. Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the flour and baking powder and beat until combined. Add the orange zest and juice and the poppy seeds then beat together. Pour into the tin and bake for 50 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Meanwhile, for the oranges in syrup, heat the water, sugar, cardamom pods and vanilla seeds in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil then simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until syrupy. Remove from heat. Cut the peeled oranges into slices and put in the syrup. Remove the cake from the tin and put on a platter. Spoon the oranges in syrup over, and serve with crème fraîche.

This locally based company offers cabinet locks and table corner protectors that are blissfully minimal in design, cool in color palette, and easy to install.

Effective in preventing injuries, competitively priced, stylish, unobtrusive, screw and adhesive free, and made of material that's BPA-free, lead-free, phthalate-free, and 100% recyclable?

This week we're talking about fresh veggies, a love of travel, and tech that tracks your workouts.
The travel picks come from guest curator @SandiMcKenna, co-host of "The Midlife Road Trip," an unscripted, reality-based food, travel, and adventure series focusing on the experiences of Sandi and polar-opposite travel expert, Rick Griffin. While Rick has a thirst for adventure, Sandi leans towards the luxe side of life.
Sandi says travel comes with long layovers, lengthy flights, and restless jet-lagged nights, so having her favorite magazines on her tablet is not just convenient, it's "a life saver." See all 8 of her picks here.

I've never been to Michigan. But, after reading about the more than two-dozen vineyards on Leelanau Peninsula, I quickly added it to my Bucket List. Drive scenic rolling hills and vineyards, stay at guest inns, sip wine and spirits in tasting rooms, and dine on locally inspired meals.
The Last Place on Earth

Nov. 20, 2006
BERKELEY, Calif. - The Santa Clara Broncos fell on Monday night 73-48 to the California Golden Bears at Haas Pavilion as Ryan Anderson had a career-high 25 points and nine rebounds to lead the Bears. Santa Clara drops to 2-1 on the season. Sean Denison continued his strong play as he scored 16 points and pulled down seven rebounds for SCU. Brody Angley scored eight points and also had seven rebounds in the losing effort.
Santa Clara started off the game strongly moving out to a 14-7 lead behind the inside play of Sean Denison and John Bryant, along with some good outside shooting. However, SCU could not slow the Bears for long as Cal went on a 23-4 run to close the half, taking a 38-24 lead into the locker room.
For the game Santa Clara went just 2-for-18 from 3-point range and shot 33.3 percent for the game in losing for the first time this season.
Santa Clara, picked to finish sixth in the West Coast Conference, had come off a 83-72 win over Utah. The Broncos patiently worked their halfcourt offense against the Bears and took an early 20-15 lead.
Cal, which gave up 56 second-half points in an 86-79 loss to San Diego State on Saturday, kept Santa Clara quiet from that point on, however, and allowed only two more field goals the rest of the first half.
With the defense holding the Broncos in check, the Bears broke out of their offensive slump with a 23-4 run over the final 7:30 minutes of the first half. Ayinde Ubaka had seven points during the run and fed Devon Hardin for a one-handed alley-oop dunk to put Cal ahead 38-24.
The Broncos return to the court on Saturday, Nov. 25 as they host the Nevada Wolfpack at the Leavey Center. Tip off is set for 7:00 p.m. PT as SCU begins a three-game homestand with the defending Western Athletic Conference champions.

Where did the week go?
Honestly, this week is flying by. I realized it was Thursday and I hadn't blogged anything yet, and had a bit of a meltdown.
Strangely, it isn't for lack of ideas. It's been lack of time. This week I've been bitten by the muse and have been ridiculously busy working on one of my many projects. But now that I feel guilt for not blogging, it would seem I would prefer to be writing everywhere. Both privately and on this wonderful site of mine. Good to know!
I am now on week three of gluten-free, and I'm still alive. Honestly, I'm better than alive! My health continues to improve, and pretty soon I'm going to start back on some sort of regular exercise. I figured I'd wait to see if this was going to help with my fatigue before starting to walk daily.
I discovered that my local Fresh & Easy (Whittier, represent!) now has a gluten-free section. I'm not sure if all Fresh & Easy's do. Our has a Bakery, where they have freshly baked items ranging from loaves of french bread to croissants. Honestly, the thing I've missed the most has been their croissant. Yum.
Right, the gluten-free section. In it, they've collected products that are labeled gluten-free but are found in other aisles. Like pretzels, cereal bars, rice flour… which are still found in the other sections. Added to that, they have a bunch of mixes and flours by Bob's Red Mill, as well as a whole bunch of products by Schär. Schär is a European brand that specializes in gluten-free foods and have for decades. They had loaves, rolls, pizza crusts, and a bunch of crackers and cookies. I've tried their white bread loaf, which is satisfying though a little small. If you're familiar with the size that banana bread is usually made, that's the size of the loaves. I've also tried both their shortbread cookies and their vanilla wafers. Yum!
The Little Kidlet has been talking up a storm, which is odd. Since he didn't really talk much two weeks ago. But now, it's hard to get him to stop. Granted, he constantly sounds like he has a cold- and in the moment his dialogue is a bit like Max of "Max & Ruby" where he says one word over and over as he plays… but we're getting somewhere.
Yes, I have a 3 year old who doesn't talk much. Yes, I have thought of taking him to a speech therapist. But it's all him. He can talk. He'll say full phrases clear as a bell, but he's so darn stubborn and wants so badly to be the baby that he doesn't say a word half the time. I'm not sure what changed, but he's finally talking. And actually conversing, too.
Just do I don't leave you pictureless, the last couple days, the Little Kidlet has been napping. I blame the suddenly warm weather, but am enjoying the adorable results. And now, so can you.

Your $10,000 starter portfolio
We get a lot of questions about how to invest a small portfolio. Heres the lowdown.
Think what $10,000 can buy. A couple of decent family holidays, a second-hand car, or a takeaway coffee every day for eight years. It's a lot of money (and potentially a lot of caffeine).
When it comes to sharemarket investing, though, $10,000 isn't a huge sum. In fact, it's probably about the minimum you need to start a share portfolio. Even then you're likely to break some important rules, such as having adequate diversification.
Putting together a share portfolio is an important topic. Whatever your portfolio size, it's worth reading our special report titled Building and Managing your Portfolio.
Key Points
- Write an investment plan to keep you on track
- Stick to lower risk stocks until you have more experience
- Three stocks is probably adequate until you have more cash
If you have a small amount to invest, though, this Investor's College will help you meet your specific challenges head on. As ever, consult someone licensed to provide personal advice if you need help with your situation.
Let's talk about you
When it comes to portfolios, one size won't fit all. Yours will reflect who you are and what you want. So let's profile what you – our investor with $10,000 – might look like.
|Set up a direct debit from your pay into a high-interest savings account that's dedicated to accumulating investment funds. If the cash is quarantined from your transaction account, you won't be tempted to spend it.
First, you've accumulated $10,000, so you're a saver (well done). Your saving habit will come in handy, because $10,000 is only the beginning. Expect to add more cash to your portfolio over time as you save more of your income.
Second, you're probably young (under 40, say). Goals such as pursuing education, buying a home or starting a family can make saving large amounts difficult until you reach mid-life.
Third, you've decided you won't need access to your $10,000 for five years or more. Funds allocated to the sharemarket must stay invested long-term to ride out the volatility inherent in this asset class. If you'll need access to your funds within a year or two, stick with a bank account.
Fourth, you're enthusiastic and eager to get started but new to sharemarket investing. You understand that you're inexperienced and it will take time to build your investment capital.
So what's the next step?
Getting started
Time to buy your first stock, right? Well not so fast. With decades of investing ahead, there's no rush. Boring as it may seem, you should start by writing an investment plan. One page should do it.
Outline your time horizon (decades if you're young), total return expectations (the long-term average of 10% might be a good guide), income expectations (are dividends important?) and how much invested capital you'd like to have in five years (including additional savings). Be realistic.
|Potential loss (%)
|Type of companies you could consider
|Up to 25%
|Listed investment companies
|Up to 30%
|Low-risk blue chips e.g. Woolworths
|Up to 50%
|Higher-risk blue chips
|Up to 80%
|Profitable small companies
|Up to 100%
|Biotechs, mineral explorers etc.
Most importantly, think about your risk tolerance. Inexperienced investors tend to overestimate both their stock-picking ability and their ability to cope with market falls.
In your investment plan write down the percentage loss you could tolerate on any individual stock, and your portfolio as a whole. This will help guide what stocks you select (see Table 1), and may help you keep things in context if things turn nasty.
Stock selection
You're keen to buy a stock, we can tell. Before you do, consider the following:
- Take time to educate yourself about company valuation. There's nothing wrong with taking a year or more to read books and study investing before pushing the 'buy' button for the first time;
- Never buy a stock unless it's undervalued. Intelligent Investor Share Advisor's recommended buy list will help here, but make sure you understand why the stock you're interested in is undervalued. If you're not sure, spend more time studying the business;
- Only buy a stock if it's consistent with your investment plan. If your investment plan says you'll stick to stocks paying dividends, simply ignore those that don't.
Whatever you think your risk tolerance is, your first few stocks should probably be at the 'low risk' end of the spectrum. Even 'low risk' stocks can fall 20%-30% in a market downturn (and sometimes more).
There's nothing wrong with buying listed investment companies, which are naturally diversified, or blue-chip companies such as Woolworths (assuming they offer some value of course). Think about your first few stocks as part of your investing education rather than a quick way to double your money.
|A starting $10,000 portfolio should probably look more like
|Than this:
|Woolworths ($3,400)
|Silver Lake Resources ($2,000)
|Washington H Soul Pattinson ($3,300)
|Kingsrose Mining ($2,000)
|* Example only, using current buy recommendations
Tempting though it may be to jump into something more exciting, resist the urge until you've been investing for a few years. Many newbies end up losing money in 'hot' stocks that old-timers instinctively know to avoid.
Portfolio allocation
There's one very good reason to avoid risk initially. With a $10,000 portfolio it's impossible to diversify adequately. While you should aim to have 10-15 stocks eventually, it's too many for now.
The reason? Brokerage is a surprisingly insidious cost. To avoid brokerage taking too big a bite out of your total return, you should aim to keep it below about 1% per trade. With most online brokers charging $20-$30 per trade, $10,000 will get you about three stocks using that rule of thumb. If you allocate your capital equally, each stock will represent 33% of your portfolio.
Portfolio weightings this high aren't usually sensible, but you have little choice with a small portfolio. So avoid risky stocks until you're more appropriately diversified. It only takes one company collapse to wipe out a third of your $10,000 initial capital at this stage.
Time's on your side
Building a well diversified portfolio takes years. Impatience and overconfidence can lead to mistakes, so take your time and stick to your investment plan.
Keep saving and your investment capital will grow quickly. As your experience grows, add other stocks to your portfolio to improve diversification. Just never forget that a stock should be undervalued to earn a place in your portfolio.
Then sit back and let time work its magic. Your portfolio may never be 'finished' but boy, it's going to be exciting watching it grow.
