Well done on a nice blog Blogger. I was searching for information on forex trading education and came across your post this post - not quite what I was looking for related to forex trading education but very interesting all the same!
We're all getting ready for Christmas and there aren't many trading days left this year. Although I'm still trying to grapple with where the dollar's headed next year. My feeling is that it's going to be much the same as this - all over the place, but possibly on the ascendant over the year, mainly due the instability in the Eurozone.
If you do have a moment, please take a look at my new site on: Forex Trading .
A merry Christmas to you and yours! Amon

Well, Christmas is over and we're all getting ready for the new year and there aren't many trading days left. Although I'm still trying to grapple with where the dollar's headed next year. My feeling is that it's going to be much the same as this - all over the place, but possibly on the ascendant over the year, mainly due the instability in the Eurozone. And as for stocks, I think the safest thing is to stick to trading the indices. There's still too much downward pressure.
I'm personally bullish on dollar and oil futures, although I'm in for the long haul.
If you do have a moment, please take a look at my new site on: Futures Trading for some serious trading systems. I think you'll find it worth your while.
A happy new year to you and yours! Amon
