Abstract:
Some people have the capability of "business man or woman" by nature but others need to learn and have a process to get success.
I am not a business man by nature, in fact, I prefer to buy things to cover all my needs because I never wanted to be a businessman until to know about Forex Market less than two years ago.
This kind of business has from my view point two majority groups, trader, and investor.
The purpose this article is to expose the main features of each and share with you a tactic used today by some investors in Australia.
1.- Trader:
Working as a trader on Forex Market I can say that there are two ways to the pursuit and get profits, it is scalping or trading with techniques and tactics in a period of short term.
By scalping is oriented to people who likes to get in on the Forex Market take some profits (less than +10 pips) and get out quickly.
Trading in a period like a mid or long term we could have big profits like +50, +100 but less than +500 pips.
But the process and strategies are equal or more planned and structured than for scalping. The main difference is about stress.
Scalpers need to be monitoring the position or watching the charts …

INTRODUCTION
Having witnessed the meltdown of the Zimbabwean economy in the period 2000 to 2008, the predicament of friends and colleagues in Ukraine is perfectly understood. This article is meant to explore the depth and dynamics of the economic situation in Ukraine and how individuals can preserve value and invest in such a difficult environment.

MACROECONOMIC AND POLITICAL FACTORS

GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS

The geopolitical tension between Russia and Ukraine has had extensive media coverage and has had negative economic impact on both nations. The major impact is that Ukraine can no longer benefit from the economic resources of the annexed Crimea, thereby reducing the size of the economy. The ensuing wars has also lead to a huge drain from the government coffers to fight the insurgents, resources which could have otherwise been deployed to other productive sectors of the economy. “A third of Ukraine’s gross domestic product lies in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics”, according to a statement by Ukrainian Interior Ministry Arsen Avakov.

Traders prefer gold investments, when markets are volatile and dominated by economic or political instability.

In economic crisis many investors put their portofolio in forex market, stock and commodities.Too many people think that put their investments into commodities such gold are best for future, and also many big banks still holding Gold as their financial backup.During hundred years gold became popular as good investment but since gold ever down more than 5% in one day period (it happened two years ago in 2011 when gold suddenly drop down more than 5% in a day period) then gold is no more safety for long term investment.In 2013 many economic analysis predicted gold will be rise up again, they using economic parameters especially global economic issues as the power to bring up gold again, but I dont agree with them!Why? because I saw that market in 2013 will be more pressure gold down.Gold now became populars as the source for speculation beside currencies and stocks.

Silver Better than Gold

Ivolux Posted 3 Sep. in #Forex #Gold #Silver #Investment

Ranking

Its hard not to notice the vast interest in Gold investment since the credit crunch in 2008 when price of Gold rose from 700 USD per once to 1900 USD per once in 2011 as investors where looking for safe places to put there money. However Silver, although not so popular with general public as Gold due to fact that Gold holds a more glamorous perception, is a far better option for an investment point of view. During the latest recession (which by the way doesn’t look like ending) Gold rose from 700USD to 1900 USD. It is an increase of 170% in less than 2 years which is great for an investor, however Silver at the same period of time rose form 10 USD in 2008 to near 50 USD in 2011. It’s an increase of 400% giving investors a fantastic return to their money. So it’s obvious that investor opting for silver instead of gold has increased his reward on his investment much higher. And given the fact the Gold and Silver are in huge Fundamental uptrend, and both are strongly correlated is an easy decision to invest in silver instead of gold. Fundamental trend. Silver has been in strong uptrend since 2003 and the reason is simple the demand exceeds supply. Although the credit crunch …

The main objective for my writing this article is to clearly inform you about the opportunities in the field of the Forex market. The Forex market — what do you understand by these two words? Before continuing, I want to remove a myth from everyone’s mind and that points to the discrimination between trading and investing. For the purpose of my clarification, I will refer to Al Thomas, President of Williamsburg Investment Company, who indicated in his writing, "If it doesn't go up, don't buy it". He did emphasize on the word ‘buy’. He also wrote, "Everyone who invests is a trader, only the time period is different." I took his words seriously after I was a victim of the fall down in the field of stock market in 2000.So at present, we shall talk about the features of currency trading concerning the stock and commodity trading and also compare them.Liquidity — The main working force for any kind of market is the liquidity of money and when it comes to the Forex market, it is the most financial market in not only a single country but the world which trades around 1.9 trillion dollars everyday. Because of the commodities market’s trading around 440 billion dollars a day and the US sto…

The major traders (dummies) think that forex is a gambling market place. We invest a little money and dream to be a milliner. Honestly this is just a dream and we all know dream never comes true.
