Profiting from Fear in Forex: Dollar Hits 16-Month High vs. Euro

Yes, strange as it may look, the dollar is scarce commodity now, as all leveraged investments are unwinding.

I think it will get stronger until the end of 2008, maybe even some time in 2009. After that we will see high inflation, TIPS replacing regular treasuries for 20 cents on a dollar thus in effect decreasing US debt fivefold at the expense of lenders. Not a preaty picture!

Amidst Chaos, Some Clarity on the Forex Markets

Is Forex Risky? I mean riskier than stocks and hedge funds? NFA and CFTC in the USA and FSA in the UK require from everyone offering forex (besides paying registration fee) to state everywhere: "Forex is risky!". Indeed it may be true.

The banks are safe. Well, I can't say that at the moment.

And investing in stock markets and property (Real Estate) should bring long term gains. This is questionable as there are falls in Stock Exchanges' Indices (Indexes) right now, that returned us 10 years back. Nikkei still has a lot to go until 35.000 it reached in early 90's. When we will see Dow Jones at 13.000 again?

I make more than 100% annualized on forex and my trading systems are verified by independent Trading Systems Authority. For me, forex is no riskier than having money in a bank.
