Believe it or not, out of all the things I have going on in my life, investing is actually where my bread and butter comes from.  I believe to be successful in life, you must have a number of trickles of income.  In the past year, I’ve taken on clients as a stock broker, per se. 

Below, I’ve listed the transactions of a new client of mine to show how easy it is to make money in the market and also great for our economy if you invest with someone you believe in.  I invest only in companies who I feel have a strong record, a great vision, and potential for growth.  With my innovative investing strategies, I have earned an investing record in the past 12 years of over 30% interest.  Try getting that with a CD or other investment!

In the chart, you can see how the client gave a sample to see how the stock market worked.  I bought a mere $750 worth of stock in NVDA – Nvidia Corporation for ~$7.23 per share.  Ten days later on Oct 31st I was able to sell for $8.47 per share.  That’s a 15% gain in a week and a half. Keep in mind that I made 15% gain on my own stocks during the greatest Stock Market crash in two decades and during one of the top 3 crashes in stock market history.  On October 24, many of the world’s stock exchanges experienced the worst declines in their history, with drops of around 10% in most indices. ^{– According to Wikipedia}

After the client realized I knew investments well, they decided to invest even more money.  You can see $7600 being traded a week later despite all the blow up in the media about another great depression starting.   Overall, in three months time, I made this client a 40% return on their investment.  The client invested about $10,000 and was returned over $4,000.  Not too shabby for some alternative energy stocks, eh?

I teach classes and take on clients who are interested in investing.  Get in touch if you’d like a consultation.

Well, I’m at it again.  Designing a DVD catered to the sword fighting crowd this time.  I’m excited to collaborate with some great personalities on this project to bring sword fighting to the acting & dancing crowd.  The beautiful lines found in dance can correlate with the movements seen in sword fighting.  With my background in martial arts and dancing, I have blended the two for an easy to learn experience that is choreographed and broken down into 8 counts, much like you would see in dance instruction.

This is great cross training for dancers and we have a number of talented models who have trained for months to bring a great performance to the screen.  I’m still interested in getting more models on scene and I also plan on filming a sequel with more advanced movements – so please get in touch if you oare interested in learning the art of sword fighting.

Most movie actors concentrate so much on dialogue that they don’t really get to do much with a sword – even in big fight scene movies such as Star Wars or Kill Bill.  This means most actors spend less than 100 hours of training on swordfighting to create those incredible movies.  And what do we remember them for? The fight scenes.  With this in mind, you too can learn to fight just like the scenes you see in the greatest sword movies of all time with this first edition of Sword Fighting by myself with MOVFitness.

The cool thing about much of what I’ve learned over the years is how everything is so integrated.  This DVD features much footwork very similary to the Tango.  The lines created and the alignment principles found in sword fighting can be seen in yoga and dance poses alike.  It’s amazing how you can take proper alignment in one art and directly relate it to many other forms.

The Figure 8

Another DVD in the works, The Figure 8, teaches many of the basic principles in self defense.  The figure 8 pattern can be see in a number of arts, whether it is self defense, dancing, sword fighting, or even astronomy.  Many people look at an arm moving and they see just a glimpse of what is really happening.  This DVD shows us the bigger picture to movement overall and how we can manipulate and control that movement to our advantage. 

As a swordsman, ballroom dancer, martial artist, boxer, and many more, I have used this technique to quickly learn many different sports and excel beyond the best of the best.

The concept of a continuing figure 8 is taught in a variety of mediums so the viewer can understand the movement and transition all areas of their life into figure 8 movements.  A revolutionary look at fitness and body movement, The Figure 8, is a new exciting project I’m about to publish.

I am also working with Veronika Petra on a HoopDance DVD and will be designing an entirely new boxing series for personal trainers.  All this and more in 2009 – check back with me if you’re interested in buying these later & we need models right now to film!

Thanks & God Bless – Matt Hackney
