Short Term Loan Pays
10% to 10.25%


CM Capital Services continues to search the western states for quality real estate loans that will yield double digit annual returns for our investors.  Just north of Salt Lake City, an experienced Utah team seeks funds to purchase and complete development of a highly desirable residential community.   

Phase One of The Old Farm at Kay’s Creek features 24 distinctive lots zoned for single family homes.  All 24 lots are currently reserved by end buyers.  Our borrower was able to negotiate an extremely favorable purchase price with a local bank looking to get these lots off its balance sheet.   

Proving, yet again, that in this real estate market only the savvy need apply, our borrower is purchasing this high quality development for a fraction of its previous value.  

We are lending 43% of the “as developed” value of this property.  Interest to investors will be paid monthly at an annual rate of 10% to 10.25%.  The loan term is 6 months with two optional 90 day extensions possible.  Take a look at the attached fact sheet for all of the details.


If you are looking for a quality income investment that is short term, then act quickly and call or email us at the numbers below.  Our investment minimum remains $10,000.

Trader Testimonials

"I can not even begin to express my gratitude to Robin for all that she has helped me to accomplish in such a short period of time. When I first called her, I was an emotional mess. I was in a place that so many new and experienced traders can one day find themselves. I was totally "blocked" as Robin would say, frozen, and paralyzed to a point where I was no longer able to take a trade. On my first phone call with her, she put me through her "Scramble" excersize, and the block became something that was a thing of the past. Not only was I able to trade again, but I immediately started to trade profitably again. It doesn't stop there though, because I can truly say that she has helped me to create a strict discipline around so many different aspects of the emotional side of trading. This has allowed me to increase contract size, and increase the size of my account.
As I have continued to work with her, the rules and the discipline have continued to grow. Eventually, I'm positive that she will help to me master myself, and as a result, master the art of trading. The bottom line is this: you have to work hard to get this, but if you are willing to work on yourself, Robin has the right tools, and expertise to help you get to where you want to be. Thank you Robin Dayne! You are the best!"

Staying Positive in the Summertime Trading Doldrums

By Robin Dayne

 

Well I hope your summer is starting off great with the kids out of school, vacationing and BBQ’s are bringing you all together. I trust you are working to spend some good quality time with the family and taking a bit of a break from trading to re-charge, fine-tune and get centered.

As we all know in the summertime the markets seem to shift a bit or should I say their personality changes and strange movements are possible. This year we could be feeling additional influences from the global effect more than we have in the past and also high-end trader executives are still taking time off with their families and the lack volume shows in the markets. Junior and new traders take over trading desks with apprehensions and are less aggressive, trading with smaller size. This can be felt to summertime day-to-day trader.

So, if you have been trading for years you know all this already and my point of this article is to really talk about being positive. The reason is, and I have seen this year after year, that summertime tends to bring out a negative feeling. The markets can be frustrating and slow moving. Finding long running trends can be scarce. The word “choppy” is said more in the trading room, than in a Chinese kitchen. (BTW – I love Chinese food, don’t you?) This is also a time if a trader isn’t careful they can give back the cash they have made over the first 2 quarters of the year.

Now here is the point to remember as traders we have the ability to “choose” we can either look at this time and stay frustrated or we can change our thinking and think more positive, using this time to fine tune strategies, exercise patience, spend time with the family and relax and re-group.

I remember when I was in my late 20’s and was living in Mexico City I would look for men who had great shoes and would try to sit next to them. Well made men shoes always meant they had money and their conversations would always prove to be interesting. I was flying from New York to Mexico City and found THE shoes, I switched my seat and we struck up a conversation. He told me he was a trader and he worked all year long saved his money and would fly off to Mexico for 3 months and than back to New York to trade. I knew absolutely nothing about trading at the time. Trading for me was harder and more foreign than the Spanish I had to learn at the time.

While I was always good with numbers women really didn’t have aspirations to go into trading in the 70’s. Yet now looking back it must have left an impression as I still remember how “cool” it would be to work 9 months and rest 3.

Anyway I am really getting off the topic – forgive me a senior moment.

OK being positive…it’s so important to not let the summertime markets get you down. Staying positive is very, very important and I don’t say that ONLY with the idea it feels good, it’s down right healthy too.

We all experience stress at some point in our lives. Trading and stress can go hand in hand if not being aware of how “thoughts”. Good thoughts are so important and bad ones are so unhealthy in many ways. Your body reacts and works to protect you and when stress cups up you get symptoms. Ulcers, lack of sleep, skin conditions, digestive problems, and a few more I’ve forgotten. Bottom line you don’t want stress in your life and being negative can cause stress.Read More

Mid-Week US Dollar, Oil, Gold and SP500
July 14th, 2010


It’s been another strong week for equities but are stocks and commodities about to get hit with some selling pressure?

I have put together a short video coving all of these investments but here is my Coles Note Version:

US Dollar:
The Dollar is way oversold and looking ready for a multi day bounce. This will put pressure stocks and commodities.

Crude Oil:
Oil is trading at resistance and with the Fed minutes reported today saying they are some what concerned about the economy still this pulled oil down late in the day. Also if the US Dollar bounces it will add downward pressure to oil.

Gold:
It’s a tough call on gold because it could go either way here… It could be seen as a safe haven in stocks fall in the coming days, or if the US Dollar moves up then it will put more downward pressure to gold. I feel money can be made a breakout to the up side or the down side. Explained in the video.

SP500:
Stocks are overbought across the board making things look toppy. We are seeing good earnings from Alcoa, CSX and Intel but the stocks are selling off on the good news which is a bearish sign for the equities market overall. The SP500 gapped up on Tuesday and has been trading sideways in a tight sideways channel building power for the next breakout. Tension is building and we should see a breakout from this channel tomorrow (Thursday). The Odds are pointing to lower prices but only time will tell.Read More


Futures

Preparing for a monsoon drop?
July 15th, 2010

The market continues upward in either a C wave or Wave 2 corrective upside re-tracement if I’m correct. In reviewing the pattern since the April top this year, we have had clear Fibonacci retracement levels of the 13 month rally. These occurred at 1040 and 1011 areas so far, 31% and 38% fibonaci re-tracement levels of the Fibonacci 13 month rally.
Some are saying the market just bottomed at 1011 at the 38% re-tracement area, but the Elliott wave patterns that I rely on do not appear to me to be complete. I could still be wrong and we keep on climbing here and I get egg on my face, certainly possible. However, you don’t normally get a straight 8 of 9 days down pattern to 1011 like we just saw and then end a correction there as a C wave in an A B C pattern. C waves are made up of either 3 or 5 waves within, and that was one clear wave down. These happen in fast moving markets and lead to a rare correction pattern called a “running” correction.
In the video which is free to view off my website below, I educate and illustrate on how these look and apply it to the current state of the Market. I’m looking for the following MAX topping areas for all three indices. Dow 10450, Nasdaq 2295, and SP 500 1104-1115. We are within 1-2 % here of a nice reversal to the downside that can be played via shorting. The ultimate target remains 942 on the SP 500 index, and of course those are the 50% fibonacci downside levels of the 13 month rally, and would fit neatly into the first 180 point SP 500 drop from 1220-1040. This means 1130 is the recent major B wave top, and 180 points from there is about 950 to complete the correction pattern in this bull market. I am looking for sentiment to turn pretty negative again shortly.

Please review to get updated. This current rally has hit 1099 on the SP 500, past the 1092 area I saw the sliver gap on, but below the 78% re-tracement area as well, this 7 day rally is getting long in the tooth. Options expiry week makes it even harder, reminds me of my Mid April top call in fact here on Kitco.Com, it wasn’t long before the market rolled over hard. I am looking for the same here as well.Read More
