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.
One way or another, you lost money as a direct result of the financial crisis. Now you have to start making it back, and you can do that by listening to this audiobook. This audiobook shows how the markets work and how to be involved, how to calculate personal risk tolerance based on personality, goals, age and years from retirement, how to avoid losing money, and how to use mutual funds, index funds, stocks, ETF’s, bonds, and other investment vehicles to speed up listeners’ own personal recovery. Includes model portfolios to get you started right away. Written by CNN Chief Business Correspondent Ali Velshi using his trademark user-friendly voice, Gimme My Money Back is a straightforward guide to understanding how we got into the mess we’re in, with concrete, simple, proven steps to get you out of it.
“This helpful book promises to help listeners earn back recent financial losses due to the economic meltdown that has befallen the nation– or just to improve their economic status in general. The author, CNN’s chief business correspondent, narrates his own work. The information is top-notch, and the presentation is professional. Velshi gets his point across in a clear-cut manner without sounding overly assertive. Most importantly, the material is laid out in a way that makes it accessible to listeners. Velshi’s voice is powerful and honest, and, despite his extensive knowledge of the economy, he never comes off as condescending or unsympathetic.”

What is forex?
Quite simply, it’s the global market that allows one to trade two currencies against each other.
If you think one currency will be stronger versus the other, and you end up correct, then you can make a profit.
If you’ve ever traveled to another country, you usually had to find a currency exchange booth at the airport, and then exchange the money you have in your wallet into the currency of the country you are visiting.
Foreign Exchange
You go up to the counter and notice a screen displaying different exchange rates for different currencies.
An exchange rate is the relative price of two currencies from two different countries.
You find “Japanese yen” and think to yourself, “WOW! My one dollar is worth 100 yen?! And I have ten dollars! I’m going to be rich!!!”
When you do this, you’ve essentially participated in the forex market!
You’ve exchanged one currency for another.
Or in forex trading terms, assuming you’re an American visiting Japan, you’ve sold dollars and bought yen.
Currency Exchange
Before you fly back home, you stop by the currency exchange booth to exchange the yen that you miraculously have left over (Tokyo is expensive!) and notice the exchange rates have changed.
It’s these changes in the exchange rates that allow you to make money in the foreign exchange market.
