Great info!  How have you been doing with Forex trading?  I tried it out about a year ago, but lost my initial $1000 and decided I have a lot to learn before I try it again.

Thanks Kea! For trading of forex or any other asset class for that matter you need a combination of a sharp mind and the ability to trade with logic and without emotion. It's a tough game. But, if you're good the upside potential is huge.
