INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Jacarandas need to conserve much of the water that they're given in order to thrive and grow. To help the tree conserve water, and to keep the water from evaporating directly from the soil, you can set mulch around the tree's base. To achieve the best effect, lay the mulch about 5 centimeters (2 inches) thick. Purchase mulch from a local landscaping company, plant nursery, or gardening center. The branches of a jacaranda tree grow vertically and expand outward in all directions. Let the branches grow on their own; if you trim shoots or prune branches, you may permanently stunt the tree's growth, or the tree may send up suckers. Whenever a jacaranda branch is pruned, it sends out vertical shoots, and so continual pruning will lead to an unnaturally tall and misshapen tree. If left undisturbed, a jacaranda will grow into a roughly umbrella-shaped tree. The tree's bright-colored flower clusters can grow up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) long and 8 inches (20 inches) wide. When these fall from the tree, the flowers will carpet the ground, sidewalks, and roads beneath the tree. If the tree is on your property, you'll be responsible for raking up and disposing of the jacaranda flowers. Do not plant a jacaranda tree in a position where its branches will arch over a swimming pool. When the flowers fall in autumn, they will blanket the surface of the pool and can clog the water filter.

SUMMARY: Place mulch around the base of the tree. Do not prune the tree. Clean up the jacaranda's dropped flowers.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stock prices can be volatile over the course of a day or week. To get a better idea of the stock's performance and growth (or lack thereof), you should look at a longer time period, like a month or year. In addition, try comparing its growth over these period with that of the market. You can use the S&P 500 for these comparisons. Check if it was up when the market was down, or vice versa. This can give you an idea of how the stock will perform over time. You can also find more long term financial information by studying the company's financial statements, which are available from both the SEC and usually on the company's website. For more, see how to research a stock. . Day-trading is different from investing in that day-trading focuses on the short term and is very risky. A day-trader stands to lose significant amounts of money if the bets that they make on the market are wrong or if trading fees eat up all of their gains. In theory, a day-trader could identity patterns that lead to rises or falls in the price of a stock and then profit from these predictions. However, in practice this is very difficult and many day-traders end up losing money and exiting the market. Investors buy securities and hold them for long periods of time with the expectations that they will earn value slowly. Day-traders look for quick jumps and falls in value in the same day or week and trade quickly. Even if trend and pattern analyses are made properly and conservatively, there is still risk that you will lose money on your trades. Be warned that you stand to lose a considerable amount of money if you try to engage in day-trading. . If you do decide to day-trade, the simplest type of pattern you can identify is a price trend. Look for uptrends and downtrends in the price of a stock over daily and weekly periods. However, keep in mind that just because a stock is rising now does not mean it will continue to do so tomorrow, or even in the next few minutes. Another way to identify trends is to study the market itself and the global financial system. Look for relevant news that could move the price of a stock or affect the stability of an industry or economy. Trend identification, along with the rest of the patterns mentioned, is part of what is known as technical analysis, which assesses market trends to help traders make trade decisions. Support and resistance are terms used by traders to identify prices that a stock usually does not move below or above, respectively. That is, if a stock often gets close to surpassing $40 over a period of time, but never does, the stock has a "resistance" at $40. Identifying these levels for a given stock will help you identify prices that the stock will likely not surpass or fall under. Traders also use several other more complex patterns to identify shifts in price trends. One the most common of these is the head and shoulders pattern. This pattern is formed when a high is reached (the left shoulder) and then the price drops temporarily only to be replaced with a high even higher than the first one (the head). Then, after another temporary drop, another peak (the right shoulder) is reached that is not as high the head. This pattern identifies the end of a upwards trend in the value of the stock. After this pattern, the price is expected to decline. The lows between the head and two shoulders can also be used to draw a "neckline" that identifies the point at which you should certainly sell the stock.

SUMMARY: Look at the big picture. Understand the risks of day-trading Identify trends Look for support and resistance. Identify head and shoulders patterns.
