Why Trading Forex Now Beats The Stock Market

Today's post is from an old friend, frequent blogger (see previous posts), and trading expert Bill Poulos from Profits Run. With Bill focusing a ton of his time on Forex, and with the Forex market getting so much attention, I wanted to ask Bill to come and give us some of his latest insights into what he's found. The article below is a great one, and if you have time I'd highly recommend checking out his new "Risk Eraser" technique video!

You've likely heard the term Forex lately -- it continues to be the hottest trading trend today. That's a trend I believe will continue but today, I wanted to take a few moments to point out why as well as how you can best take advantage of trading foreign currencies without being taken advantage of.

Just a couple of years ago, the foreign exchange markets were dominated by the big brokers and major banks around the world. Today, the 'little guys' have gotten in on the action -- and the growth in currency trading has increased from $1.9 trillion to nearly $3 trillion in that short space of time (that's the average daily turnover in the markets - a 50% growth in turnover).

But why should you trade Forex?

Two Markets That We Must Look At Closely This Weekend

Here are the two markets I am looking at:

1.Spot Gold - SYMBOL XAUUSDO  If spot gold closes over $989.85 it will be a new high close for the year on a weekly basis. I would take this as a very bullish sign for next week. (CONFIRMED)

2. Dollar Index - SYMBOL DX  The same goes for the dollar index. A close today (Friday) below 78.04 should be viewed as very negative for the US dollar.

Both markets are headed in opposite directions and both have very powerful chart formations. Look for gold to move higher, and the dollar index to move lower.

When most traders return next week from their summer hiatus and start viewing the markets more seriously, I expect these moves will begin to accelerate.

Enjoy this last hurrah of summer.

All the best,

GM's 200 MPG+ Fantasy...

Everyone was shocked when GM took a gigantic government bailout. What was equally shocking to me was to see GM claim that in 2010, they would have a car capable of 230 mpg. Well, as we all know everything is not always as it seems. When I came across this article by Adrian Veidt, Senior Editor of Casey’s Extraordinary Technology I thought I would share it with you and get your take. The auto industry is changing, will GM be able to finally make the changes it needs to?

=================================================================================

A few weeks ago, Government Motors dropped a public relations bomb when new chief Fritz Henderson announced that the forthcoming Chevy Volt would get an astonishing 230 miles per gallon (that's 98 kilometers per liter, for our metric-system friends).

For those of you not yet familiar, the Volt is a plug-in hybrid car. The car runs primarily on electric power, with batteries charged overnight by simply plugging the car into an electrical outlet like a cell phone. Its gasoline engine is used only to charge the battery and supplement the power when the batteries run low. Continue reading "GM's 200 MPG+ Fantasy..."

Gold: Is this the move we have been waiting for?

I believe the action in gold yesterday (Wednesday) should be looked at seriously as it pushes the gold market to its best level in almost 3 months.

In my new video, I show you what I think is going to happen to this market in the near term and the long term. I also discuss energy fields as they pertain to gold, and where our Trade Triangles are positioned in the yellow metal.

There is no need to register for this video and of course you can watch it with my compliments. I highly recommend watching this video today otherwise you risk missing out on what could be the move of the year.

Enjoy the video and please give us your feedback on this blog.

One aspect of trading the Forex, or even talking to Forex traders, that can be really intimidating is that the Forex market has an awful lot of jargon.
