| I have a substantial amount of money saved up, and I eventually want to get into commercial real estate, but first I want to grow my finances. I've heard of investment banks and I've heard of private equity firms, but which one is better to start and run?What about a venture capital firm? |

| Start or run an Investment Bank or Private Equity Firm???? That is no small task. The compliance issues alone are daunting. Your research into this matter better go deeper than Yahoo Answers.What sort of ROI are you wanting for your savings? Once you have that figure, you would have a good start on what you should be doing. |

| INVESTMENT IN FOREX MARKET Currency trading is easy and highly profitable comparing all other investments. Trading in EURO is easy and risk less. Trade directly on line with the FX market’s no.1 price provider.World-Class Trading Execution in All Market Conditions.Diversify Your Portfolio beyond Stocks and Bonds. It is the newest get rich quick scheme. Make more Profit for Their Investments Comparing all other like, Real Estate, Mutual Fund, Stock and Share Trading and Commodity Trading.It is the One and Only Business in World which can make Huge Profit with less Investment WHAT EXACTLY IS FOREX OR CURRENCY MARKET Forex, FX, or 4X are acronyms for the Foreign Exchange market, the largest financial market in the world. Trading Forex allows you to trade one currency against another and actually make money on the fluctuation of exchange rates between currencies.The Largest Financial Market in the World Did you know the Foreign Exchange Market is by far the largest financial market in the world? Take a look at the illustration below which shows how vast this market is compared to the US equity markets.As you can see the Forex market has an average daily volume of $1.5 trillion per day, making it 150 times larger than the New York Stock Exchange! The Forex market differs from other financial markets in that it has no central location or exchange. It is instead a global electronic network of banks and traders that trade one currency for another in every major financial center in the world. The result is a 24/hour a day market!The Forex Market is the Newest Market in the World If you are familiar with the Forex Market, you're likely to have heard of the huge profit potential it holds. If you haven't even heard of Forex, this is probably due in part to Forex being a relatively new market, created in 1978 when the entire world adopted a free floating currency exchange rate between all of the currencies in the world, making it possible to trade and speculate on their changing values.Finally the Average Investor Can Take Advantage of Forex Did you know that until very recent years the virtual owners of this market were the major banks, large brokerage firms, and multinational corporations? Major banks, even the Federal Reserve (which most Americans are unaware is a privately owned bank owned by mega-wealthy international bankers) realize a large segment of their profits (sometimes as much as 40% or more) from trading currencies (and then give you a measly 3% a year for the privilege). Up until recently, if an individual wanted to trade currencies on the Forex market, the only way possible was to invest with a bank, which required not only a minimum of a one million dollar cash deposit, but this large deposit also had to be backed by a five to ten million dollar net worth. Due to the far lower margin requirements and the many brokerage firms across the world that now specialize in Forex trading, the Forex market is now available to just about anyone. Just in the last decade the market has been opened up to the average person with tiny minimum investment requirements.In addition, the recent boom in computer and communication technologies has made this market accessible in ways previously exclusive only to large players. Thanks to the Internet, electronic trading is now possible for anyone with a computer and access to the internet. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TRADING FOREX?The Best Decent BusinessCurrency trading on the Foreign Exchange market has numerous advantages.•The startup costs compared to traditional businesses are extremely low. •You don't need any employees.•Trade from the comfort of your own home directly from your computer.•Make money regardless of the state of the US or world economy.•Trade from anywhere. If you like to travel, this is a dream business. Take your laptop with you and you can trade Forex and make money anywhere in the world where you have an internet connection. You have total freedom of location.•No experience or expertise whatsoever are required if you use a quality trading system or good market financial adviser When trading currencies you make profits on the fluctuation of exchange rates between major currencies. Currencies constantly fluctuate against one another regardless of the condition of the economy in individual countries, including the US. It is the perfect financial market. Trading Forex is truly a recession proof business. $500 Account Minimum,$2,00,000 Account Maximum No more are the days when you had to have millions of dollars to trade Forex. The minimums have now been lowered to the point where most people can afford access to foreign currency trading. WHAT PROFIT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM FOREX TRADINGYou can Expect 30% to 50% per Month for Your Investments, If Investment Equity should be HEALTHY. Investment with Less Equity is highly Risk.•Less Investment is Risky and More Investment is Risk less•Risk is involved depends on Investment size (Get advisable from a Financial Analyst)Liquidity Forex is by far the most liquid market in the world. There is NEVER a problem buying or selling a position as in the stock market. The Forex market can absorb trading volumes and per trade sizes that dwarf the capacity of any other market. On the simplest level, liquidity is always a major attraction to any investor as it allows one the freedom to open or close a position at will. You can access the funds in your Forex brokerage account as easily as you can your bank account.24-Hour Market Foreign exchange trading is the only 24 hour market. It is the ideal market for active traders. Unlike stock and futures trading, currency trading on the Forex market is not cut short at the "close" of each day's trading. Forex trading is never paused, which ensures true 24 hour trading and the ability to trade during virtually any important event. The benefit of Forex being a 24 hour a day market is that there are little or no gaps in the market, meaning there is no chance that prices will close one day and reopen the next day at radically different rates. When you are trading equities or futures, the central exchanges close at the end of the business day. This means that there is no liquidity in these markets after hours since the market is closed, which makes trading impossible. In addition, there is a high degree of risk for traders who have open positions after the market closes. If news or events take place after the close that affect their positions they will have no opportunity to liquidate their trades. The next day, at the open, prices may immediately jump drastically, forcing the trader to close their positions at a rate which they incur a far greater loss than if they were able to close their position after hours. The continual, 24 hour a day liquidity of the Forex market ensures that the trader can always open or close a position anytime, thus eliminating the large potential risks with market gaps.No Trade Commissions There are NO trade commissions when trading Forex. Brokerage companies instead make money on the spread (difference between the buying and selling price) which barely affects your profits at all. It's MUCH better than commissions.Clear Trends Any professional trader knows that trends are the essence of profitable trading, and knowing this makes the idea of trading currencies very attractive, because currencies are the world's best trending markets! Many studies of trend following systems prove that currency trends are the most consistent and profitable. Regardless of the type of trend following system used; long term, intermediate term or short term, currencies invariably outperform all other markets including stocks, bonds and other commodities. It should come as no surprise that some of the world's most successful traders are currency traders. Traders such as George Soros, Bill Lipschutz, and Bruce Kovner earn hundreds of millions of dollars per year trading currencies! It is a well known fact that on one occasion George Soros made a $1 billion dollar profit on a single trade he executed on the British Pound against the US dollar. The trade lasted less than one day. This would not be possible trading stocks or equities. No Bull or Bear Market You can easily profit in both directions, long and short, buying low and selling high as well as selling high and buying low. There is no "Bull" or "Bear" market in Forex. You always can earn money either buying or selling currencies. It doesn't matter if there is a booming economy, or a deep recession. In the stock market, most of the money is made during a period of booming economy, when the stock market goes up, which in turn is very limiting. But economic development is cyclical - and periods of growth will eventually be replaced by periods of recession. And in this case, when the stock market is going down, you can't win as a trader. On the other hand, during all times of the year, regardless of the strength or weakness of the US economy or other major economies, currency exchange rates are always fluctuating, thus giving traders year round, continuous opportunities for profitable trading.Demo Trading When trading the Forex market you have a unique feature -- a “Demo Account”, simulated account or free practice account, participate in trading using real-time prices on the Deal Station with the same interface and functions as real trading, using the same news and technical analysis tools to predict market movements. You can gain experience in trading without risking any of your real money, all from the comfort of your home. On the stock market you don't have such a unique training tool for Internet day trading. In order to take a shot at the stock market, you have to put down your money first - your real money.WHY HAVEN’T I HEARD OF FOREX?If you haven’t heard of Forex it’s probably because it is the newest financial market in the world, created in 1978 when the entire world adopted a free floating currency exchange rate between all of the currencies in the world.Before this time, there was no such thing as the Foreign Exchange market since currency values of each country were directly pegged to the value of Gold, under the Bretton Woods agreement. Not only has the market been developed so recently, but it’s only the last decade that individuals were able to participate in the trading of Forex. Before that mainly banks and large institutions were the only players in the Forex market, since the minimum lot sizes to trade Forex were millions of dollars. Because of this, people are just now finally realizing the endless benefits of trading this profitable market. Now people understand how bankers are benefited and how they are making huge amount with public money. IS TRADING FOREX BETTER THAN TRADING STOCK/SHAREWith an average daily volume of $1.5 trillion per day, Forex is far and away the most enormous financial market in the world, dwarfing the trading volumes of other markets. It is literally 150 times larger than the New York Stock Exchange! Take a look at some of the advantages of trading Forex over stocks...You can profit in an up or down market. When trading stocks most of the money is earned in bull markets, which is very limiting. With Forex, you can easily profit in both directions, long and short, and make profits on the fluctuation of the exchange rates between any two currencies. It matters not which currency is rising or falling in value against another. Forex is the most liquid market in the world. Because of its size, there is never a problem buying or selling a position, no matter how large. In addition, your funds are not tied up for long periods as they are when waiting for stock values to rise. With Forex your account is totally liquid, just as readily available as your bank account.Forex is much more predictable than stocks. Many studies of trend following systems prove that currency trends are the most consistent and profitable. Regardless of the type of trend following system used; long term, intermediate term or short term, currencies invariably outperform all other markets including stocks, bonds and other commodities. The stock market is tiny compared to the vast foreign exchange market, and technical trading with stocks is not always reliable because the fundamentals of stocks can change with the wind. The Forex market is much more reliable and predictable, and the trends once they begin tend to persist, giving tremendous opportunities for profit. No commissions or exchange fees. There are NO trade commissions when trading Forex. Brokerage companies instead make money on the spread (difference between the buying and selling price) which barely affects your profits at all. It's MUCH better than commissions! You end up saving a lot of money on costly commissions when trading Forex.24 Hour a day market. The Forex market does not come to a halt each day at the close of business hours like the stock, equity and commodity markets do. The gaps and erratic price jumps these gaps in the market cause can cost a trader dearly. The Forex market never stops trading the entire week long. Only on the weekends does the market temporarily stop trading until Sunday evening. Trade mini contracts with an account as little .here is now the option of opening an electronic mini Forex account, which allows you to trade with $100 per trade and start out by taking much smaller risks than you often have to take with stocks or equities. High leverage. When trading Forex you enjoy up to 50 times the leverage of trading stocks. In stocks, for every $1,000 cash you invest, you control a maximum of $2,000 worth of stocks. The maximum leverage is 2:1. But with Forex, if you invest $1,000 margin on a foreign currency trade, you can control up to $100,000 in currencies.WHAT TIME OF DAY DO I NEED TO PLACE MY ORDERSThe FOREX System was specially designed so that each person could tailor it to their individual schedule. You can place your orders for the system anytime of day you choose, as long as you always place your orders at that same time each day. WHICH CURRENCIES ARE TRADED IN FOREX MARKETMore than 47 currency pairs are traded in Forex market. But most special currencies are EURO, BRITTISH POUND, JAPAN YEN, SWISS FRANC, CANADIAN DOLLAR and AUSTRALIAN DOLLAREUR/USDGBP/USDUSD/JPYUSD/CHFAUD/USDIS TRADING FOREX MARKET IS RISKY?Speculative trading on any financial market can be very risky if you do not use proper money management and do not have an effective trading system. To be profitable one must learn how to use effective money management strategies and have a proven trading system that produces more wins than losses. Average winners are nearly four times the size of the average losers, and the system produces winning trades about 60% of the time. In comparison to stocks, equities or commodities, trading currencies can be considerably less risky as long as one uses a good trading system, because Forex trends are much easier to predict than stocks or equities.FOREX BROKERSA foreign exchange broker is a financial intermediary who assists an investor in buying or selling foreign currency. Due to the large number of foreign currencies in the world and the volatile nature of the same, the buying and selling of foreign currencies is a very complicated business. A foreign exchange broker aids in the smooth working of the daily transactions executed in a foreign exchange trading platform.TRADE CURRENCY WITH WORLD'S LARGEST TRADING COMPANY-FOREX CAPITAL MARKETS LLC,NEWYORK USA(www.fxcm.com)I WILL PROVIDE YOU ACCURATE 90% DAILY PREDICTIONS FREE OF COST& MANAGED TRADING ACCOUNT FECILITY AVAILABE WITH PROFIT SHARING BASIS.
