The monthly meeting of the Houston Investors Association will take place Saturday, September 11, 2010 at Melcher Hall, on University of Houston Campus 4800 Calhoun Rd, Houston, TX. (See Location).
Main Speaker: Uyen Nguyen
Topic: FOREX Trading
Uyen Nguyen “Wynn” started her professional career in the Financial Districts of San Francisco in the brokerage and investment field. She began as an intern during college and was then drafted to 3 different brokerage firms. “Wynn” was mentored/coached by the men who introduced Currency Trading into America over 40 years ago; they are her biz partners today.
“Wynn” manages accounts and trains professional traders from America, Europe to Asia. She created a seamless training program with a level of simplicity adequate for people from all walks of life (or location) to comprehend; from start to finish.
Wynn believes in abiding with ethics, building a business with pure integrity and having excellent character. As Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principles which direct them.”
The presentation begins at 11am. SIG schedule will be posted when available.
Coffee and doughnuts at HIA meetings are generously provided by John Bott of Tri-Star Financial.

Featured Program (11:00 am)
Roy Flores
“The Psychology Of High Performance Investing And Trading”
In this program you will discover the psychological and emotional factors that impact your trading and investing in the financial markets. You will learn how your subconcious beliefs and your emotional state directly influence how you use technical analysis and how you interpret specific chart patterns.
Your beliefs, your mental state, and your emotions also affect your decision making abilities in the markets. This is especially true when trying to decide when to pull the trigger to get into a trade and exactly when to get out.
You will walk away from this seminar with some specific ideas on how to get clear, mentally and emotionally, before getting into a trade. You will also learn some unique strategies for using Psychology and Technical Analysis to make you a consistent winner in the markets. We will show chart set ups that most often lead to winning trades. Continue reading Houston Investors Association meeting May 15, 2010

Featured Program (11:00 am)
Bruce Robinson, President of Omniphase Systems
Topic: “Active Investment Management – Return on Activity”
Although it seems intuitive that more analysis and more frequent trading should yield significantly higher results, this is not the case in many areas. In fact, some of the common commercial systems in use today do not need to hold as many issues, nor trade as much as they currently do in order to achieve out-performance. This can run counter to conventional wisdom, and this talk will demonstrate two example ETF systems to illustrate the point, and will also show some new ways of evaluating trading systems.
