Profiting with Forex

Profiting with Forex
1
There is a Forex solution to every question you’ve ever asked about
your financial future. We talk with people every day who want to
know how they can take advantage of both the good times and the
bad times in the economy. They want to know how to profit from
the stock market when it is going up and how they can protect themselves
when it is going down. They want to know how they can take
advantage of the unprecedented economic growth in China, India,
and other emerging markets. They want to know how to combat
inflation to ensure that their retirement nest egg will continue to
provide an enjoyable lifestyle. They want to know if there is anything
they can do to offset rising oil prices. They want to know
how to improve their budget when commodity prices—from the
price of the orange juice they buy at the store to the price of the
lumber for their new home—start to rise. Mostly, they want to make
profits. And every time they ask us, we respond with one word:
Forex.
Certainly, you could devote your life to learning to understand
stocks, mutual funds, and options to take advantage of the ups and
downs of the stock market. And you could learn about foreign
bonds and exchange-traded funds to take advantage of the growth
of the emerging markets around the world. Plus, you could master
interest rate futures and government bonds to combat inflation.
And to top it all off, you could dive into the commodities market to

speculate on the wild swings in the price of crude oil and offset some
risk in pork belly and soybean futures. But, really, who has time for
all that?
If you’re like most of us, you’ve got a 401(k), an IRA, or another
type of retirement vehicle into which you are putting the majority
of your savings. And that’s a good thing. The stock market has
done extremely well over the long term and deserves a place in
your overall portfolio. But wouldn’t it be nice if there were a way
you could address all the other issues just mentioned without having
to become a financial genius? Well, there is.
The Forex market enables you to have the best of both worlds.
When stock prices go up, you can profit with the Forex market. When
stock prices go down, you can profit with the Forex market. When
emerging markets gain strength and begin to grow at exponential
rates, you can profit with the Forex market. It doesn’t matter if inflation
levels are going up or if inflation levels are going down; you
can profit with the Forex market. And as oil and other commodity
prices fluctuate up and down and up and down, you can profit
with the Forex market. You will be amazed at how easy it is to get
involved and make money in this incredible market.
Finally, there is a way for all investors—no matter how big or
small—to harness the world around them and secure their financial
future. The Forex market is available to everyone, yet so few people
know about this universal tool. As you read this book and learn
more and more about the Forex market, we guarantee that you will
ask yourself the same question over and over again, “Why in the
world have I not been taking advantage of the Forex market until
now?” Maybe you’ve never heard of the Forex market. Maybe you’ve
heard of it but never really knew anything about it. Whatever the
reason, today is your day to get started. Once you do, you’ll never
look back.
This book will introduce you to all the advantages of the Forex
market and show you how to profit from it. It addresses the questions
you have concerning your financial future. And, most importantly,
it will show you how you can implement the things you
learn in your own investing. The Forex market has changed our
lives. It has changed the way we view the financial marketplace.
We used to see obstacles and limitations. Now all we see are opportunities
and freedom. The Forex market is the perfect supplement
to our stock and bond investing. It enables us to profit from what-
