A considerable part of such a portfolio can consist not only of currencies or commodities but also of stocks. Which ones - this is the question we will discuss today.

If a barrier can be circumvented, why not do it? Most likely, this is the reasoning of people who would later be called stockbrokers and whose ingenuity would be admired and wondered at. Three years earlier the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) got interested in the fraudulent practices of Anatoly Russ from Russia who had found a way to compensate for the effect of his own trades in iShares Lehman Aggregate Bond options, according to Dow Jones. The trader devised the following scheme: he stole the names and passwords from seven online brokerage accounts in order to place orders from seven completely unauthorized people. The scheme was simple to the point of naivety: from his account...

Критики FOREX (от англ. FOReign EXchange – обмен валют) с завидной регулярностью относят значительный кредитный рычаг, который практикуется на этом рынке, к одному из наиболее существенных рисков, присущих операциям с валютой с помощью данного инструмента. Однако эта правда — половинчатая. На самом деле, кредитное плечо 1:100 (а иногда и больше) – это великое благо. Просто для его извлечения надо грамотно с ним обходиться. Само по себе кредитное плечо не влечет за собой повышение риска. Риски, безусловно, возникают. Как и во всякой иной торговой сделке с неизвестным результатом. Но для того чтобы судить о величине риска, прежде не мешало бы спросить,…

Емельянов Алексей Сергеевич в рамках конкурса «Один день из жизни трейдера!» рассказывает нам о своем самом первом дне в роли спекулянта. Дочитав одну из очередных книг Роберта Кийосаки, всерьёз задумался. Ну да, было бы неплохо купить акции, торговать фьючерсами, а все заработанные деньги перечислять в банк, на открытый заранее вклад. Но вот если открыть счёт в банке было более-менее реально, то где найти брокера и что вообще такое биржа, я даже понятия не имел.

The accuracy of the "January Barometer" predictions is estimated from 70 to 90%. The "January Barometer" itself...

The formation of the currency of South Africa - the ZAR After the British left South Africa and the recognition of the independence of the country by the United Kingdom, the former colony did not immediately renounce the British order.

The crisis of the Armenian dram "Dutch disease", which affected the Transcaucasian republic, was blatantly different from its generally accepted forms. The point is that in this case, the increase in the value of the national currency was not due to the export of raw materials, which Armenia lacks. The authorities of the country explain the rise of the dram with growth of private transfers from abroad, while opposition analysts point to an artificial overvaluation caused by limitation of money supply in...
