Industry: Financial

Press Release Summary: A new low for the US dollar, and a mixed bag of economic
news, gave investors few clues as to what the FOMC might do next with the interest
rate.

Press Release Body: Concerns that the housing market ills could spill over into the
broader economy have heightened fears of recession. More hints about the economy
will be revealed in the next few weeks, as 3rd quarter earning results are going to
start making their way to the market.

While most traders were still enjoying the more then expected rate cut, others are
thinking that it\'s not enough and are expecting another cut after the next FOMC
meeting.

Next week, aside from the 3rd quarter earnings, we get the GDP, and the consumer
spending data. Both are market movers, especially if the data is weaker then
expected.

Other data to be released next week includes inflation and construction spending.

While not as big as the other two, inflation hurts the consumers spending, as it
robs their purchasing power, and construction spending is a leading indicator of
company\'s optimism. Companies tend to spend money on construction when they see a
bright future economically.

With all the data coming out next week, it almost assures a week of volatility, with
that in mind, I would like to talk about this weeks play.

When volatility spikes, no touch plays become less expensive, however that\'s because
they are more likely to be hit. As a result, this week, we will focus on the up or
down options available at BetOnMarkets.com.

An up or down option allows the trader to specify a trigger on both sides of the
market, and win if either of those levels are breached. Unlike its one touch
counterpart, in this situation you don\'t need to choose a direction.

This weeks play is on the SP500, with a 44 point trigger in both directions, and a
20 day term, potentially yielding 7% ROI

BetOnMarkets Bet Types:

One Touch Bet: You would buy a one-touch bet if you believe the market will touch a
given point at least once before the bet expires. In other words, a one-touch pays
out, if at any time prior to expiration, the market touches or trades through the
specified barrier. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE touches X between today and date
T]

No Touch Bet: A no-touch bet is the opposite of the one-touch bet. You would buy a
no-touch bet if you think the market will never reach a certain level within a
specified range of time. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE does not touch X between
today and date T]

Bull Bet: You would buy a bull bet if you believe the underlying
security/index/currency pair will be higher than a certain level (also referred to
as the barrier level) on the maturity date. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE closes
higher than X on date T]

Bear Bet: You would buy a bear bet if you believe the underlying
security/index/currency pair will be lower than a certain level (also referred to as
the barrier level) on the maturity date. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE closes lower
than X on date T]

Expiry Range Bet: You believe that the market will be between two distinct levels
(high and low) on the expiry date. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE closes between X
and Y on date T]

Barrier Range Bet: You believe that the market will never touch two pre-determined
barrier levels (high and low) before or on the date the bet expires. In other words,
when you buy a barrier range you will win only if the market never touches the two
barrier levels you have chosen. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE never touches X and Y
between today and date T]

Double Touch Bet: You believe that the market will touch two pre-determined barrier
levels (high and low) before or on the date the bet expires. In other words, when
you buy a barrier range you will win only if the market touches both of the two
barrier levels you have chosen. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE touches both X and Y
between today and date T]

Up or Down Bet: You win if the market touches either of two pre-determined barriers
before or on the date the bet expires. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE touches either
X or Y between today and date T]

Double Up Bet: A Double Up bet pays two times the premium if the market rises above
a given level between the time of purchase and the close of trading. It expires at
the close of business on the day of purchase of the bet. Example: [Pays 100 if the
FTSE closes above X between now and the close of trading today]

Double Down Bet: A Double Down Bet pays two times the premium if the market drops
below a given level between the time of purchase and the close of trading. It
expires at the close of business on the day of purchase of the bet. Example: [Pays
100 if the FTSE closes below X between now and the close of trading today]

Intraday Double Up Bet: Buy this bet to play a market rise between two given hourly
market times today. You will have the possibility to set the starting hour of the
bet and the ending hour of the bet, and you will win double your stake if the market
follows your prediction. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE rises between the starting
time hour and the expiry hour]

Intraday Double Down Bet: Buy this bet to play a market drop between two given
hourly market times today. You will have the possibility to set the starting hour of
the bet and the ending hour of the bet, and you will win double your stake if the
market follows your prediction. Example: [Pays 100 if the FTSE declines between the
starting time hour and the expiry hour]

Run Bets: These fun bets are over in the space of less than a minute; so you can
make money in seconds. Here, you have to guess the last decimal digit of say, the
USD/JPY (predict 3rd decimal place) after 5 ticks.
