Currency Trading
My Jaw Hit The Floor…
Like most small business owners, I’m always out meeting new people and looking for good business connections. It might be a new phone guy, an IT guy, or somebody to print business cards. Because of my relentless networking, I often find myself at – drum roll please – networking events. Let me tell you, some […]
Bank Of Japan Loses Big!
Every once in a while, the big bully on the block gets taught a lesson. It happens in grade school, it happens all the time in the movies… and it’s happening right now in the market. What am I talking about? The Japanese attempt to manipulate their currency. See the big drop that just happened […]

The US Dollar Going Crazy Again!
The US Dollar is on everyone’s radar these days. It’s not just currency traders on pins and needles about the direction of the Dollar.

Why all the attention? […]
