Forex Trading – Foreign Exchange Course

You want to learn about Forex?

Foreign exchange, or forex, is the conversion of one country’s currency into another.
In a free economy, a country’s currency is valued according to the laws of supply and demand.
In other words, a currency’s value can be pegged to another country’s currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or even to a basket of currencies.
A country’s currency value may also be set by the country’s government.
However, most countries float their currencies freely against those of other countries, which keeps them in constant fluctuation.

What Wall Street pros really say behind closed doors

Investor behavior is driven by well-known “truths” which often have little basis in fact, are usually misapplied and misunderstood by brokers and investors, and can negatively impact long-term investment performance.

Cashing In on Wall Street’s Ten Greatest Myths examines the most well-known of these, telling investors which are nonsense while uncovering core concepts that have always provided the safest path to building wealth.

Wall Street veteran Richard Lackey begins each chapter by detailing a particular myth, explains its flaws, and then reveals how investors can use the kernels of truth in the myth to make profitable investment choices. Valuable sections include:

Secrets of “going short” that pros use every day
Why diversification can be bad–and how to make it work
What to look for to consistently find benchmark-beating stocks
Why mutual funds aren’t as safe as everyone thinks
How to use options to boost income or protect a portfolio

A dynamic plan for investment success based on market-proven reality, not market-driven myth

For decades, stockbrokers and popular magazines have relied on overly simplistic slogans and sayings to explain markets to independent investors. Problem is, many of these “truths” were in fact wrong, resulting in long-term damage to the portfolios of those investors they were meant to help.

Cashing In On Wall Street’s Ten Greatest Myths examines the flaws in these well-known sayings, revealing core concepts you can draw from each to dramatically improve your investment decision-making. This no-nonsense investor’s guidebook reveals:

Why buy-and-hold doesn’t work anymore, along with low-risk trading techniques you can use to profit in any market
Three easy-to-follow options strategies–the covered call, the married put, and the collar–that actually increase the safety of your portfolio
Why mutual funds could be your worst enemy, and alternative investments that can allow you to earn market-plus returns while minimizing market risks

Cashing In On Wall Street’s Ten Greatest Myths introduces you to methods and techniques that will help you attain long-term wealth despite what your stockbroker has always told you.

Buy and hold always works…

Mutual funds are safe…

Options are for risk takers…

Many of the “facts” that Wall Street has told you over the years have been wrong. So wrong that they have probably harmed instead of helped your investment success.

It’s time you find out the truth. Cashing In On Wall Street’s Ten Greatest Myths will help you make money in the markets by showing you the strategies that really work and providing you with step-by-step guidelines for implementing them in your own investment plan.

This successful investment veteran provides you with commonsense knowledge and guidelines for uncovering and seizing profit opportunities in every type of market, including:

Active trading strategies designed to overcome the risks of the typical “buy, hold, and pray” program
Updated diversification techniques based on spreading risk across investment styles and time horizons, as opposed to companies and industries
Option-writing methods professional traders and managers use to both generate cash and control risk in turbulent markets
Areas you may know little about, such as foreign currency trading, which fit your risk/reward requirements and could provide you with new investment opportunities
