The Forex Markets: A Rare Glimpse Into The World of Forex Trading
There’s a lot of interest in the Forex markets right now.
But a big problem is that it’s nearly impossible for you to get direct advice from veteran Forex traders since they rarely give interviews and most earn so much they don’t care to teach anyone else.
They move vast sums of money and barely have time to train new MBA graduates – who may or may not succeed – let alone talk to novices trying a go of it over the Internet.
Yet despite the closed culture – the inter-bank foreign exchange market is a very small, tight-knit and elite group of…

With Forex getting millions of hits on our site over the past few days I asked Bill Poulos from ProfitsRun to give us his opinion on the Forex markets. Bill has recently released a number of highly educational Forex videos and has over 30 years trading. Please enjoy the piece and watch his latest videos by clicking the INO TV logo at the bottom of this post:

By now, everyone has been well-schooled by the media on how dire the economic situation is in the USA, as well as globally. A massive credit contraction is in the process of wreaking havoc on one…
9Dec2008 | INO | 0 comments | ContinuedDeath of the Dollar Still Inevitable: Dead Cat Bounce Explained
I’ve been writing a lot recently about the dollar vs gold trade, with the emphasis of the discussion being on gold analysis. The problem is that there are a lot more individuals who care more about dollar FX markets than they do about gold. This has been the case regarding the network of people I work and converse with on a daily basis, and this has definitely been the case with main stream media.
The latter subject is the actual reason I decided to sit down and write up a piece regarding the U.S. dollar. More specifically, on CNBC this past…
28Oct2008 | Oxbury Research | Comments Off | ContinuedThe Best and Worst a Dollar Will Buy
I am going to use this edition of Charts of the Week to accomplish a series of tasks that has gone undone for too long. Forthwith:
- To answer a brainless dolt called James West, whose name appears with some regularity on the otherwise respectable Kitco website. This “writer” [oh, if only he could string a few words together without obfuscating] produced this gem just a week ago:
“Right now, the dollar is looking strong because of the massive repatriation of U.S. dollars now underway as a result of global U.S. denominated asset de-leveraging. So it looks [the “writer’s” emphasis] like the dollar is strengthening. This…
22Oct2008 | Oxbury Research | Comments Off | ContinuedHow the Smart Money Will Go Broke
A long time ago, I took a course to prepare for the Series 7 Licensing exam. At the risk of divulging his identity, I will describe the instructor of this course simply as a former options trader closely affiliated with Ivan Boesky in the 1980s. We’ll call him “Jack”.
“I’m not a smart man.”
Jack would commonly make profound statements, and if you want to know the truth, I learned far more about trading strategies and mentalities from him than I ever learned about the recklessly boring material on the exam.
“…But I bought a boat this morning, and I did…

Judy Stark, the Homes and Garden editor for the St. Petersburg Times, writes that it is a “sign of the times” when a local county-sponsored workshop on vegetable gardening has suddenly hit the 200-person capacity of the room.
She says that this means, “there is great interest in growing your own food so you know what’s in it or on it, and avoid high prices at the grocery store.”
Fabulous! So now we know that the economic miracle that Alan Greenspan at the Federal Reserve was supposed to be delivering to us with all of that excessive creation of money and credit…
19Aug2008 | Daily Reckoning | Comments Off | ContinuedStrong Dollar Rally Causes Gold Prices to Tumble
Gold prices tumbled below $800 per ounce for the first time since late 2007 Friday, as the continuing U.S. dollar rally sparked an across-the-board retreat in commodity prices.
Gold closed Friday at $792 an ounce, a decline of $22.40, or 2.75%. Gold prices have plummeted 23% since the “yellow metal” hit an all-time record of $1,032 an ounce on St. Patrick’s Day.
“The dollar’s continuing uptrend is a key factor depressing commodities in general and triggering heavy sales in gold,†Shuji Sugata, manager at Mitsubishi Corp. Futures and Securities Ltd. in Tokyo told Reuters.
Investors who had been using precious-metals investments as a…
