Today is November 4th, also known as election day. While I had planned to do a write up on the candidate’s position on various things like taxation, energy and the War in Iraq… I have decided instead to share with you a completely free report that I have recently published as a newsletter giveaway for Bullish Bankers, LLC.

Why Is The Election So Important?!
This particular U.S. presidential election comes in the face of a global recession and a lot of problems at home. Many attribute this to the current presidency, but I say that it was, in fact, simple American Greed that got in the way of logic. Our federal programs like the Federal Reserve and the SEC had set up the market in such a way that people were buying. hand-over-fist, second-rate investments like home mortgages and grouped-debt we call “collateralized debt obligations” or CDOs.

This election is going to change the face of the stock market, there is no doubt about it. Whether this be the health care policy that will effect medical stocks, or the nation’s Defense Department budget that will effect aerospace & defense plays… it’s a big one. Of course, there are upsides to electing Barack Obama and there are upsides to electing John McCain. The choice is yours, but I believe that it is smart to have holdings on your portfolio that are resistant to the election.

Election Proofing Your Portfolio!
This November newsletter publication offered from Bullish Bankers, entitled “Election Proofing Your Portfolio” includes in-depth analysis from our firms’ lead stock analysts from each sector of the market. It’s a seven-page report… but honestly the thing has more content then you would find in a 50 page “ebook” that is put out by internet marketers in size 20 font.

What is most compelling is that you get 9 killer stock picks that are researched by professionals and that are picked to outperform the market in shaky times. These are companies that we have hand-selected that will outlast the election from each sector of the market. Believe me, I spent a LOT of time compiling this one… and it is definitely worth picking up to read.

Here is an excerpt from the newsletter to get you interested:

Healthcare Pick: Becton, Dickinson & CO (BDX)
“…One obstacle they have faced in the past few quarters is the rising price of oil, which increases costs of resin (part of their raw ma­terials for many products); however, BDX has managed the concern and does not feel it will significantly im­pact their margins. This part of their business is known as the Medical segment, and also includes, but not limited to, pre-fillable drug delivery devices, ophthal­mic surgical instruments and ACE brand elastic ban­dages. In total, the Medical segment represents 54.4% of revenue…”

I have full confidence that you will love and enjoy this release, and I feel like Jimvesting would better serve you guys by offering up such a report then by trying to overstep my boundaries and turn this blog into a politics opinion page. Many other bloggers have fallen into this trap, and I feel like I need to go against the grain on this one and avoid that stance… sticking to my style and content so as not to turn anyone off of my stuff if they happen to disagree with my thought on such a touchy subject.

You can get this premium report absolutely FREE when you subscribe to our newsletter through Aweber. Let’s face it, most professional sites make you pay $100s for lower-quality research on their membership-driven sources. We want to get you off on the right foot… and will never charge for anything in our newsletter. You’ll get NO spam, but will be able to receive premium content like this every month you come by.

There’s a new feature at Jimvesting!

I’ve decided to add a support system to theNetFool.com as an alternative means to communicate. I get emails from interested users every day, and having a back up support-only system in place will definitely cut my work time. Now, instead of using the contact form for every type of request, I am going to split up personal inquirys and business questions by using a help desk/ticket system to handle the latter.

Why The Change?
This move came on the discovery that one of my online buddies Joe, from IMWithJoe.com, was using a help desk on his website to direct users toward a friendlier solution. While this is a bit different from mine in its purpose, I feel like it is generally just as useful. For Joe, he uses it as an integrated solution for all of his online business. Since Jimvesting is now up to 700 returning readers, I feel like having a dedicated system to serve you guys is the right way to go!

The advantages of Installing a help desk at your blog

To me, there are really two sides of advantages once you install a help desk or ticket system connected to your website of blog: your clients, and you! The downside risk is slim, and the only thing I can really think of is that it might increase your workload a little bit. However, if people are going to ask a question… they are going to ask a question. So why not organize things a bit, eh?

Help Desk Advantage One – The Client
This blog is centered around helping you make money online. So I thought: “how can I do this better?” The obvious solution was to provide more ways for you to get in touch with me to get your questions answered in a timely fashion without having to check back on some article that I happen to write. I know that a lot of you are interested in many topics, many of which I have already written about. Because of this, the new help desk provides a one-stop resource for you to ask questions and see some commonly answered questions already displayed!

Help Desk Advantage Two – Personal
I have to think about installing and maintaining a support system from the stance of a blog/site owner. So if our workload increases, what could the advantage possibly be to adding things to your schedule? Firstly, it could be argued that questions won’t really “increase”… they will simply come more organized. But really, any for-profit blogger in this niche will realize that most of their revenue comes from referral sales. By providing a support system, you are going to increase your reputation among your readers. If you have readers that like you a lot and rely on you for advice, they are much more likely to convert on offers you propose and re-visit your site for recurring traffic. Because of this, I call help desks a win-win situation.

Free Integrated Support Systems for You!

The question now is: where can I get a free support system for my blog? If you have a little spending cash, I recommend buying the Kayako Support Suite. I have used this extensive system on multiple websites and it is truly the best. However, I feel that bloggers would be much better suited with a free resource. I am using the discontinued version of “Maian Support,” which is now a paid system as well. Because of this, let’s take a look at a few free options still available for you to try out!

• OsTicket Support System
• Crafty Syntax Live Help
• Help Center Live
• PHP Support Tickets
• Support Logic Helpdesk
• Support Services Manager

These are some good names that you should check out to see which you like best. I feel like having a support option on your blog other than the contact page may be a creative way to spark some viewer interest at your website. You notice now that I have added the “Have a Question?” button in the sidebar. It’s discreet, but effective. As a website owner, I want people to know that they can come to me for help. This mutual trust relationship makes websites much more ethical (and profitable), so give it a shot!
