Is Foreign Exchange Currency Trading Too Risky For Your Investment Blood ?
The foreign exchange market, also called forex or FX, is trading one currency for another. It is one of the largest markets in the world and everyone from central banks to companies to individuals participates in it. Retail traders are now only a small portion of the entire forex market with speculators making up the biggest portion. The market itself is almost completely liquid and operates 24 hours a day. The chance to make money depends on the belief that the currency you buy will increase in value compared to the one you sold, allowing you to make a profit on the margin.
What is the simple basis of forex currency trading. Its that currencies reflect the health of the economies of their respective countries or regions. If a country is stable economically as well as politically and yet it currency seems to be undervalued in terms of comparison to other major indexes of both the countries it trades its products or services with , or if overall that countries issued standards of conversions seems way out of whack - either too high or too low - then it may well be the time and opportunity of the active financial currency trader to either be in ( that is to acquire) or redeem or even relinquish his or her's monetary holdings in that fund.
Generally a smart forex trader will use both forms of analysis when operating in the currency markets. Interestingly the world renowned British financial magazine "The Economist" uses a scale of McDonald's hamburgers and their comparative pricing around the world , back to a standard reference point as to the relative value of foreign currencies vis- a-vis each other. The method has been more than criticized in the staid world of international finance yet the Economist's ledger seems to be remarkably accurate in its statical record and history.
It does not take much at all to cause panic and mayhem in the forex market. If anything it can be said that the whole process is not boring or mundane by any chance. A tropical storm such as Katrina can wreak great havoc and mayhem not only physically by its weather but also weather a storm on the dollar , Yen or British pound Sterling , their value and perceptions of future value. Economics it seems is always driven by the simple concepts of "supply and demand". The major change in the 21'st century in 2009 and on into the new millennium of 2010 is the absolute breakneck speed of communication. What used to take weeks and months to traverse the globe in terms of communication and information now takes but a flash of a second. Sometimes as with natural disasters such as earthquakes or political assassinations , world and thus fortune causing changes can come out of the blue , instantaneously .
Commerce in products and currency trading is as old as mankind itself. Yet nothing is for nothing and there is no such thing as a free lunch , or in this case your personal fortune or family fortunes. It may be easy for many novices , or even those boasting at their local coffee shop -reports prominent economist M.L. Labovitch to appear to have great expertise and have hit the money wealth jackpot machine. Yet it is the consistency that counts. Once may be a fluke - yet has that experiment been repeated a number of times over a good period of time with the same results. Is it the "Midas Touch " of gold and great riches or just plain dumb luck when it comes to their chances at the roulette table of trades in international currencies and financial instruments. - 23200
