Trading currencies is not that different to trading the equity markets otherwise known as stocks. Currency markets move in cycles and produce patterns that are referred to as trends, support and resistance areas etc. From the novice to the expert trader Forex provides an opportunity to make or loose money. It’s important to remember that for every winner there is a looser. Having this in mind it is imperative that you have the proper training before moving in to make a new career in the financial markets. Prices of training can range from a few hundred dollars to many thousands.

With out proper training trading can be a nightmare, however with proper training an excellent income can be made. The trained eye can see where potential support is likely to be found in an up trending market, and on a minor pull back a good buying opportunity is made. When the trade has been purchased on support the stop loss is a touch under support to allow for a little whiplash; therefore not much is lost. Remember the basic idea is to minimise your loss and maximise your gain and with the right training this can easily be achieved. The main path to success is discipline and this is where females often can do better than the average male in trading. Their daily task is organised and takes a lot of discipline in the day-to-day functions of doing the “so called womanly roles”. Men have trouble with their ego and find it difficult to accept when they are wrong, on the occasion :).

Money management is one of the key elements for the successful trader, minimizing the loss and maximising the gains is no easy feat as the amateur is easily swung out of a trade or hangs on too long and the loss becomes so large that the trader looses control over the trade, not knowing where to go. Money management if you ignore it will cost you big time ensure you understand size of the trade, loss management and how to take profits. This is why training and advanced knowledge is a key element to success.

Learning the art of money management is the most important tool in trading, how to identify a “buying opportunity”, where to place your “stop loss” so that you can get out of a bad trade. Where do you set a target and take profits a lot of traders forget to do this or get too greedy and miss out. Planing your trade and executing it is one thing, however it is up to you to stick with your plan. Always continue a trade in the time frame that the plan was set around. For example if a day trade, be out at the end of the day, if a swing trade may be in the trade for up to a week or two. Make sure you do not confuse the two or even worse change it to an investment.

It is dangerous to stay in a trade once it has gone against your plan, once in the trade the trader needs to be disciplined enough to stick with the original plan.
Trading the Forex Markets is usually very short term, they are the largest markets in the world, remember the big banks trade these markets in a big way which makes it very liquid (volume). The Forex markets provide high leverage providing opportunity for large amounts of profit to be made with small amount of cash, with the right training; or large losses without.

If you take anything home from here keep these main points in mind

Competent training is of utmost importance

Trade with a plan

Set targets and take profits

Set stop loss’s and minimise losses

Trade with the primary trend not against it

Use support and resistance as buy and sell areas

How liquid the stock is (volume)

Be prepared to take a loss using strict money management

Don’t trade until you have done training

As you can see from the above there is certainly some homework, however once you have some training, you will get an understanding of how to set your plan and put it into action to make your mega wealth. Once you are on your way to profits only 20 minutes a day is required as you can set your trades on autopilot. Yes you can pre enter your targets and stop loss to automatically take you out the market at pre determined amounts. No need to sit there watching it. As mentioned earlier trading is not only for men there are great women traders in the markets as well.

Please note I am a trader I am not licensed to provide advice, trading can be risky, this is provided as general information. Seek a brokers advice and or do training prior to entering the markets. I take no responsibility for any loss incurred.

Wealth & Prosperity to you all

What if the average American could not invest in the stock market or buy mutual funds? What if only the wealthy could do this? Well, as more and more regulations are put on the financial investment industry and more and more minority shareholder lawsuits abound, we may see a time when the little guy gets shut out.

In fact many financial planners will not take to anyone who has less than 500,000 dollars to invest. Why? Well they feel it is not worth their time and with all the regulations in the financial planner industry, well, it I really isn’t and it is not worth the risk that they might lose their license as the SEC is quick to launch an investigation over any little complaint whether legitimate or not?

What can the little guy do? Well you can go down to Merrill Lynch and open up a brokerage account where some young stockbroker will read the latest stock picks on a 3 X 5 index card and tell you where your money should go, while they churn the ever-living-crap out of your account?

Why is this happening? Well, the SEC has it in for the little guy, as every 6-8 days they make another rule, causing more paper work and costs to little financial planners and Broker/Dealers forcing them to adjust their business model or quit business.

This means they cannot make money taking on small accounts under 500,000 and therefore, the little guys gets to go to the wire houses to get bent over; so my question to you is how do you like your SEC now? Think on it.

Lance Winslow

Fifty years ago, uranium fever hit Wall Street. It was then just a few years after a Navajo shepherd in New Mexico, by the name of Paddy Martinez, discovered “yellow rocks” on his property, mistaking them at first for gold. An avalanche of 1950s dollars (more valuable than the ones we have today) poured into mutual funds and uranium mining stocks, sending their values to astronomical levels. Get ready for déjà vu all over again, as Yogi Berra once said. Trend spotter, James Dines, editor of The Dines Letter, believes uranium mining stocks could become just as hot, or hotter, than the Internet stocks of the 1990s. (Editor’s note: StockInterview.com interviewed James Dines on July 20, 2004, when he forecast a “buying panic in uranium.” Since then, spot uranium (U3 08) prices have nearly doubled. Over the past 35 years, Dines has successfully predicted mega trends in gold, internet, palladium and uranium price movements). And now investors are chasing uranium mining stocks again.

A look at industry leader, Cameco (NYSE: CCJ), which money manager Robert Mitchell called the “Saudi Arabia of uranium,” shows a three-year gain of more than 700 percent. Over the past few years, Australian-traded Paladin Resources, skyrocketed from under a dime to over $2/share (A$). A recent Forbes magazine cover story, entitled Going Nuclear, analyzed uranium’s recent price surge, “One reason the price of uranium should keep escalating is that producers are only starting to ramp up to meet the strong demand. Utilities globally need 180 million pounds of uranium annually, but at this point a mere 108 million pounds are coming out of the ground.”

Why the sudden jump? A Morgan Stanley institutional report, published in December 2004, explained that through the 1990s, uranium oxide prices stayed low because surplus uranium came into the market from weapons decommissioning. That surplus inventory worked its way through the market. The Morgan Stanley analyst forecast a “deep supply-side shortage” of uranium, citing that new mining production hasn’t yet come online to remedy the deficit. In the year-ago forecast, the uranium deficit was expected to grow to nearly 20 million pounds this year (from a surplus of 6 million pounds in 2003), and then leap to a peak deficit of more than 35 million pounds in 2006. Deficits in excess of 30 million pounds were also anticipated for 2007 and 2008. According to the Morgan Stanley analyst, $50/pound may be possible in the spot price for uranium oxide, known in the trade as “yellowcake.”

Mining Newsletters Favor Strathmore Minerals

What’s that mean for uranium stocks? Higher prices should be anticipated as more investors, mutual funds and hedge funds search out the best returns. While the lion’s share of investment dollars is likely to chase Cameco’s price higher, the robust percentage gains in that stock may have already peaked. Generally, new money searches for well-capitalized junior mining stocks with solid uranium projects in their portfolio. One of those most frequently recommended among mining newsletter writers is Strathmore Minerals Corp, trading on the Toronto Venture Exchange (ticker symbol STM.V). Prominent among Strathmore’s projects are in-situ leach mining operations proposed for Wyoming and New Mexico, plus an aggressive exploration program in the world’s richest uranium areas, Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin (home to uranium mining giant, Cameco).

In September, letter writer Lawrence Roulston of Resource Opportunities recommended Canadian-based Strathmore Minerals (TSX-V: STM), writing, “The company is systematically adding value to the projects most likely to be significant in the near term, especially those with near-term production potential.” Also in September, Resource World contributing editor, Alf Stewart, wrote, “The two deposits Strathmore is developing were ‘cherry picked’ from the inventory of Kerr McGee, largest private explorer of uranium prior to that industry grinding to a halt in the early 1980s. As these properties are largely drilled off, Strathmore may be considered more of a uranium development company than an explorer.” This past June, money manager Adrian Day recommended uranium stocks in his research report, writing, “So I am focusing on four main areas in uranium, with one or two buys in each… top exploration companies that have the goods and are likely to bring properties into production. Strathmore Minerals, with technically strong management, lots of properties, and a strong balance sheet, is arguably the best.”

New Uranium Discovery in the Athabasca Basin?

Here’s one of the stronger reasons why investors might anticipate a strong rally in Strathmore’s share price over the coming twelve months: In a November 16th news release (http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/051116/20051116005591.html?.v=1), Strathmore Minerals announced a discrete conductor, more than 30 miles long, after completing an airborne geophysical survey on the company’s Davy Lake property, in the north central portion of the Athabasca Basin. According to the company’s news release, “The conductor’s profile response indicates a deep and in places, broad source.”

Virtually all the significant unconformity uranium deposits known in the Athabasca Basin are directly associated with fault structures associated with graphitic conductors. Deposits such as Key Lake, Cigar Lake and McArthur River were found by drilling electromagnetic conductors located within magnetic lows.

In an interview with Jody Dahrouge, of Edmonton-based Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd, he told StockInterview.com, “Early indications are that this conductor is similar with other known uranium deposits, graphitic conductors with magnetic lows.” On a scale of one to ten, Dahrouge rated the Davy Lake conductor a ten. “It is a long conductor, cut by structures, with deep depth and associated by a late fault,” explained Dahrouge. “It is a high quality conductor that continues to depth, and it is typical of those occurring that are associated with known uranium deposits.” Dahrouge described how the MegaTem II airborne geophysical survey was able to pinpoint the conductor as shallow as 600 meters and running deep to 1200 meters. Dahrouge made comparisons to other uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin. “The Sue Deposit near McLean Lake is associated with an electromagnetic conductor that is approximately 2.6 kilometers long,” he said. “Based on our work at Waterbury Lake, we identified an 8 kilometers long conductor associated with the Midwest Deposit(s). The ‘P2′ conductor at McArthur River is approximately 13 kilometers long. This feature was first identified in 1984, by a ground Deep EM Survey. The Shea Creek deposits, located south of Cluff Lake, are associated with an approximately 25 kilometers long conductor, known as the Saskatoon Lake Conductor.” Dahrouge added, “These deposits are located at depths similar to what we expect at Davy Lake.”

What is probably most significant is Strathmore’s gamble, by exploring away from the eastern parts of the Athabasca Basin, some 300 kilometers from the eastern Athabasca Basin, where the major discoveries have been made. “It was virtually unexplored,” Dahrouge said with excitement in his voice. “It’s really virgin ground.” While there is ample evidence suggesting multiple uranium deposits in the Athabasca Basin, other junior exploration companies are looking at the shallow parts of the eastern basin, which may not likely yield economic uranium ore. One pundit acidly questioned some of the current exploration activity in the Athabasca region, “Are they really re-flying old ground that’s already been flown a hundred times, or are they just releasing old data to save money?” Dahrouge pointed out that the uranium appears to be running deeper for many of the newer discoveries, as he believes the Davy Lake property might hold true for Strathmore Minerals in the north central part of the Athabasca Basin.

Important features in many Athabascan uranium deposits are the cross-cutting fault zones. Dahrouge confirmed the Davy Lake conductor has cross-cutting fault zones with a sinistral (left-sided) fault about halfway along its length. According to Dahrouge, there is also a “conductor extension which crosses the fault from west to east and ‘flows’ out into a small, sub-circular magnetic low.” As with many of the Athabascan uranium deposits, which tend to be found between overlying sedimentary units and underlying basement rocks, the Davy Lake conductor fits the bill. Strathmore Mineral’s president, David Miller, told StockInterview.com, “the 50-plus kilometer geophysical anomaly appears to indicate a basement conductor.” However, Mr. Miller tempered the exhilaration in the air, “A geophysical anomaly does not make an ore body. These exciting initial results will be followed up with infill geophysical lines, followed by ground geophysics, followed by shallow drilling, looking for alteration. When we have narrowed the target to drill, we will pull in the big rigs and test the conductor at the unconformity.” Dahrouge remains excited about the Davy Lake conductor, and said, “Clearly this represents an excellent exploration target for unconformity type uranium deposits.

What does all that mean? It could explain why Strathmore Minerals might well be on the road to a world-class uranium discovery as further exploration more clearly defines how valuable those newly discovered conductors might become. Meanwhile, Strathmore’s New Mexico and Wyoming properties (amounting to potentially several million pounds of uranium resource) are in the preparatory phase of the permitting process. As the spot uranium price inches forward to the widely accepted short-term target above $40/pound, several of Strathmore Mineral’s properties may become instantly more valuable to a utility company who will someday need the company’s uranium oxide to fuel their nuclear reactor.

In order to succeed successfully in forex trading you need to know what the purpose of trading forex is. Forex trading as you know is the trading of online currency and the key to success is to buy low and sell high just as with any other market. You task as a forex trader is to try to determine the trend of the particular currency you are looking to either buy or sell and to utilise the forex trading strategies to ensure that a profit is made.

Now that you know the purpose of forex trading the next step in knowing all about forex is to understand the codes, definitions and numbers used when trading. All currencies used in forex trading are assigned a three letter code. An example of this is the US dollar which is USD or the Euro EUR. Online currency trading is done in combinations that are known as a cross and these are represented by 6 letter words with the more expensive currency coming first. An example of this is GBPUSD which will show you how many US Dollar you will need to pay for one British pound. These rates are shown as five digit numbers for example GPBUSD = 1.6262 which means that 1 British pound is worth 1.6262 US dollars. When the rate changes the change will be displayed in bold, eg GPBUSD = 1.6264 which will mean that the rate has moved by 2 points. Knowing this is the key to successful forex trading and your key to profit.

When you enter the forex trading market you will enter as a buyer or a seller of a particular currency. If you are a seller you price is known as the ASK price and the buyers price is known as the BID. You can only buy currency from a seller with an asking price the same as the BID price.

These are the main beginner’s points to note when it comes to forex trading and knowing what the purpose of trading forex is and knowing all about forex before you enter into the market can make a big difference when it comes to your profits.
