• Currency Trading: is it a viable long term way to make money from home?
|
I went to an introduction to FOREX (foreign exchange) class recently and they were telling us how with a good education in FOREX you can consistently make money, and good money too, since you are trading 50 or 100 times what you have in your trading account. The complete course is $2000 and they were pushy for us to take the class so I didn't feel so confident about it, but i read up on the subject a bit and did a trial trade for about 30 days, I was up a lot at one point (about $8000) but in the end of the month i pretty muich broke even. WIth more knowledge and a proper education on the subject can it be a long term way of makin money?
DEAR ALL, thanks for your responses, overall you seem to think currency trading is high risk and not really a viable way of making money from home. I should have mentioned in my question that if i were to do it, i would want to rely more on technical analysis and all the ratios and different theorems etc. I would also be making trades that are from about 30 minutes to at most one day. Does this change anyones opinion on the subject?

• Is it true that currency trading creates a new millionaire everyday?
|
I have learned and I'm currently learning more and more about currency speculatrion, and I've set up a practice account. I know that the foreign exchange markets (Forex), creates more money in profits everyday than the entire stock market in 1 year which is a collosal daily intake of $3.8 trillion per day, about $1.5 quadrillion in 1 year. I also know that there are only 5% of currency traders that succeed because they expand their education and practice before they do the real thing. The other 95% of traders either have a mentality and think its a get rich business, or don't invest time to educate themselves and don't set up practice account to get the hang of it, or a mixture of all three. What I'd like to know is, is it true that a new millionaire is made every day trading Forex?

4. Now getting more into the overall structure of your new country, how would you establish and provide the following?
* Currency
* Military power

* Governing body
* Resources (for foreign trade and domestic use)
Feel free to add on anything you feel is important to acknowledge or that I might have missed.

13. What would be your official title? King? President? Emperor? Fuhrer?
14. Lastly, what would you name your country?
As I stated for question #4, feel free to address anything you feel is important to acknowledge that I did not touch on. Please have fun with this. Make it as detailed as possible. I'm quite interested in reading your responses.

• Experience or education, banking?
|
I am looking at working in the banking industry, however, I will admit I am not a powerful academic performer. I am currently studying arts with several economics subjects and also a foreign language, my grades in economics and language have been high, but my grades for the other subjects have been very average, and I have two years left of my degree.
I have invested in the financial markets for three years, and have been actively trading currencies and stocks for two years, with a lot of success. My personal account is worth roughly $450,000, by the time I finish my degree I will have doubled that at least (I hope).
I have learned about charting, options, futures etc all through my own experiences.
My question is this; given my experience and success in the market, is it possible to get employment with an investment first, even with subpar academic grades?

• Why is the DREAM Act unfair, irresponsible and disastrous if it is adopted?
|
Many leaders of both parties in Congress are pushing for the DREAM Act, which would grant reduced tuition and legal permanent residency to possibly millions of students who have been in the United States illegally. Why is the DREAM Act unfair, irresponsible and disastrous if it is adopted?
College tuition has skyrocketed in recent years. Many Americans cannot afford college or have taken out student loans. Should the United States neglect its own citizens and subsidize the education of students who are here illegally? Proponents of the DREAM Act argue that parents of illegal students have paid taxes and that the United States should invest in them. The hard truth is that most illegal workers, due to their low-incomes, do not pay enough taxes to offset the cost of educating their children in American public grade schools. This cost can exceed $9,500 per child per year if the student receives the so-called bilingual education, not to mention the costs of other social services.
Furthermore, rewarding illegal foreign nationals can only lead to higher illegal immigration. The misnamed “Immigration Reform and Control Act” of 1986 granted amnesty to 3 million illegal migrants. Presently, we have an estimated 12 to 20 million illegal migrants in the United States, without counting their children born here who are U.S. citizens. There were “1.8 million undocumented children in local school districts” across the United States, according to a report published by Business Week Online April 7, 2006. Billions of bonds in recent years have been passed to fund our schools. Is borrowing into the future a responsible solution?
Open border advocates claim that money spent on the Iraq war and taxing wealthy individuals in the United States could generate plenty of resources to pay for costly services provided to foreign-born newcomers and their U.S.-born children. But the impact of exploding immigration-driven
population growth is more than fiscal. If we grant amnesty to millions of illegal students, once naturalized, they could petition for their parents and siblings to immigrate to the United States. In addition, they will have children born here. Those newcomers will consume energy and water, like all other residents, thus exacerbating our energy and water shortages.
We cannot ignore the political impact of the DREAM Act. Many Hispanic activists pushing for amnesty have publicly stated: “Today, we march. Tomorrow, we vote.” During last year’s massive demonstrations across the United States, many protestors were waving Mexican flags and pressuring the United States with demands identical to Mexico’s. Considering that in recent years, our national elections were very close, it is unlikely that our immigration laws will be seriously enforced in the future if millions of newly naturalized citizens promoting open borders are able to vote in our future elections. Should we allow migration to strongly influence our elections and policies?
The U.S. population has quadrupled since 1900, from 76 million to 303 million. In the last 15 years alone, over 50 million people have been added to the United States mostly due to immigration-derived growth! If our population continues to grow at the rate of last decade, by 2100—within the lifetimes of today’s children’s children—the United States will have India’s current population. Do Hispanic legal residents really want the United States to become another Latin America, India or Philippines, the corrupt, overpopulated and impoverished nations that they or their ancestors left? Latin America has 37 billionaires. Why shouldn’t they and other countries work to improve life for their own citizens?
Congress must realize that the United States is now the greatest debtor nation in human history, while China holds the world’s largest foreign currency reserves. We owe China $450 billion in federal debt. We also have the highest budget and trade deficits in the world. The Euro, weaker than the dollar 10 years ago, is now worth over $1.40. American students fall behind their counterparts in many countries in Asia due in part to an explosion of immigration-related enrollments: Many grade schools are overwhelmed with children speaking little to no English. Can this country remain prosperous if we have a growing semi-literate student population?
Nationwide, over 75 percent of our adult cash welfare recipients are 20 to 39 years old. Some growers in Idaho and Colorado are using non-violent prisoners to replace illegal migrants. Isn’t it in the interests of Hispanic and other Americans to oppose the DREAM Act and other amnesty proposals, and to demand that our immigration laws be enforced as strictly as Mexico so that we can put all adult able-bodied welfare recipients and non-violent prison inmates to fill positions currently held by illegal migrants?
