I am not at all expert in forex trading however, based on my experience i must tell u a few things.\n\nMost of the Forex houses tell you that prices are predictable and it is easy to invest money in the morning and reap a profit in the evening, but THIS IS PLAINLY INCORRECT.\n\nForex prices are extremely volatile and with so many things having an impact on the prices it is almost impossible to predict daily move (i.e. where the price will go on a particular day). I repeat, regardless, what a forex house and their staff claims, taking a position for a single day is very close to gambling.\n\nI am sure, your total investment in this venture would be US$5,000 to $10,000. Look around, and you will see that most of the people (with such a small to invest) lose money and walk away within one or two months.\n\nMy sincere advice: if u do not have a lot of money, avoid direct forex trading. If u still want to be in trading, try other things (like options). Study the market and learn the market and there is no substitute for experience. Learn by doing mock trades. Study the market for atleast 6 to 8 months and then jump into it.\n\nAnd by the way, after doing a few mock trades for a month or so...  see how much u would have lost or gained if these trades were real. Most probably you will learn that chances of losing are far more than winning. \n\nI am not suggesting that all this trading game is illegitimate... but it is simply not for a small investor.\n\nIf u are intersted in further discussion, send me a message.

It's definitely legal. It's called the ForEx market and there are scams on TV trying to sell programs that supposedly tell you when to buy and sell various currencies. Anyway, it's probably the riskiest market possible for trading. Also, you lose lots of the money in comissions, etc, so you're probably better off just buying a bond.

I believe there is as much free educational stuff for Forex as you will need. Don't fall for these over-valued so-called seminars or courses.. The thing that will get you to success in forex trading is DISCIPLINE, the ability to consistently follow you trading rules. \nYou can search the internet for free forex resources but here's one site that I think will give you the best free course: http://www.tradeology.com\nThey will email you a lesson each day for free.\n\nThere is also http://www.rapidforex.com but that will tell you about forex from scratch.\n\nGood luck, good trading.

CD's and bank money markets would probably be the best thing for you.  They're safe and insured.  You wont loose your principle.

commodity is risky.  \n\ndepending on your investment goals, I would talk to a financial advisor.  Usually your bank will have people you can talk to for free.\n\ngood luck.

Yes, it could be great considering that the US Dollar is loosing value as the Euro increases its value.  As long as the market in Europe maintains is upward motion your investments value will do the same.  Just don't do like some idiots and purchase or invest overseas with out your proper due diligence.  \n\nHoustonsHomeBuilder.com

After reading much on the subject, it is my impression that none of the ways work well.  Most of the theories out there are about as scientific as astrology.  Most financial experts recommend against dealing in foreign exchange at all. You're more likely to lose money than gain. If you do try it, watch out for the scammers.

The first poster is correct. Bonds (or Treasury Bills, T-Bills) are the safest investment. They are considered risk free, and they're currently paying in the high 4-5% range.\n\nHowever, you can get a better return for just a slight increase in risk... you don't need to be entirely conservative.

Yes the risks are great in forex trading, so are the rewards.\n\nFor the people who shout out that forex is simply another way to lose money - thats because they are LOSERs.\n\nThere is a way to trade forex, and that is to have a trading plan - a very TIGHT trading plan with defined entry and exit (stop loss) points.\n\nIt is a highly volatile market so you need to watch it. \n\nRead more here:\nForex Trading Tips\nhttp://www.forextradinghq.com/forex-information/forex-resources/forex-trading-tips-part-1.html

The business of selling money is very lucrative but also very complicated.\n\nYes, it is worth the risk.\n\nI suggest you to hire a Risk Manager or drop me a line.

Don't try to time the market.  There's a ton of money in the global financial market.  Just periodically invest by your asset allocation percentage.

I'm not sure what you mean so I will try to hit every possibility. If I could find a way to invest in a Forex trading company, much like people buy stock in stock brokers, I would probably do it. I think the FOREX market is goiing to become more and more popular among small traders and every time one of them trades the broker makes money off of the pip spread. At the same time, there have been some spectacular failures out there caused by corruption such as the now infamous Refco. \n\nAnother way to invest in Forex is to use a broker traded account, where you put up the money and the broker does the trading. I have never seen statistics on this, but would not trust my broker to make trades for me, but that's just me. I don't trust my auto mechanic either. \n\nAs for doing your own trading, I think it has great potential if your mindset is such that you make a good trader. I have friends who have made as much as $35,000 in a month trading Forex. I have others who have lost their entire trading account. It is a high risk game so unless you are either good at taking high risk and winning, or know how to always limit your risk, you will likely struggle with Forex trading. There are mathematical ways to limit your risk, but even these don't keep you from experiencing a gambler's ruin where every bet loses. Each month there is a broker who runs a contest for the best return among its clients. They often have 300-400% returns over the month. The broker rewards them with prizes, but what they don't say is how many people had a loss compared to winners. Forex is a zero-sum trading business, for every winner there is a loser. In the stock market it doesn't work that way. \n\nI traded actively for a couple of years and did not make any impressive amount of money over the long term. Sure I had days where I had incredible profits on trades that took only minutes. Other days I lost money just as fast. My strategy on Forex these days: I have been buying stock in Canadian and Latin American companies and am getting a good return. Not only are these good economies but as the American dollar falls they gain in value. Also, I no longer have to get up at 2 am to check the London market opening, or stay up all night watching my trades. \n\nTry a free demo account from one of the big Forex brokers. When you have doubled your money, and not until you have doubled it, open a real account with real money. That is the best way to find out if you can trade Forex. \n\nDon't spend money on fancy software that tells you when to trade. You can find the same trading signals without using the software and learn more about how the technical signals work. Join the Yahoo! Forex trading groups. Learn from others if you want to try it.
