Discipline Yourself with Credit Cards

By Rick Amorey

Before you go into online stock market investing, there are a few avenues of investigation that you may find profitable. You'll be able to find information regarding this, which will be helpful to the would-be investor; you can pick up a book at a reputable bookstore, sign up for newsletters, or even go into a seminar to glean good advice. But before you spend for these, try to do research on your own first. Libraries and the Internet are chock-full of helpful information.

One thing that you should remember to do is to set aside boundaries before beginning to invest. Unlike what some online stock market investing advertisements that you may have seen implied, investing is not a wonderful and perpetual source of money. I'll tell you this, though; stocks generally do perform better than other investments after a long period of time. In the end, however, all investments have no guarantee of making profit.

Before you seek advice regarding the stock market, you should ensure that you have taken the effort to study your own financial situation. Make sure you know how your money is currently being spent, and apply measures to get rid of credit card debt, and get yourself into a positive money output. I advice you to refrain from investing in the market for now if you aren't able to do so.

Having a credit card is a good way to measure discipline; if you have credit card debt, then chances are good you won't be able to handle the pressure of owning your own shares. But I'm not discouraging you, though: you may be able to get rid of this weak link in your financial armor, and you'll be able to take on the demands of the stock market.

Think of it like this: owning stock is essentially owning a small part of the company you invested in. If your boss had a substantial credit card debt, would you entrust him with other financial aspects? Probably not. Likewise, you should buy and manage stocks if you are confident in the company's direction. At any rate, you'll have one less thing to worry about without credit card debt. - 23159

The Truth About Forex Scams

By Jack Sawyer

What are Forex scams? Many people mistakenly think that any Forex product or trading system which does not make them instantly wealthy is a scam. These people do not want to put in any time or effort on their own part. They want a magical, get rich quick system ? well, there?s no such thing. If there was, we?d all be using it and of course, this system wouldn?t work for long. It?s just basic economics.

All that money has to come from somewhere. While the standard of living can be raised universally by technological developments and other innovations, all trading or any other economic activity where there is no value being produced is a zero-sum game. For one person to make money, someone else has to lose it.

There are always losses being taken by individuals and institutions who are either unaware of the currency exchange market or cannot for one reason or another allow exchange rates to dictate their activities. You wouldn?t put off a vacation because of exchange rates ? and businesses also cannot wait for favorable currency exchange rates to import or export goods. It?s just not a possibility for each and every Forex investor to get rich ? simple as that.

The next time you?re reading through a web forum on the topic of Forex and you?re trying to decide whether or not the negatives you?re reading about a given product or service mean that it is one of the Forex scams, you should think about how things work in the ?real? (offline) world.

Let?s say that you buy a book on Forex trading from your local bookstore. You read the book, apply what you have learned and find that it doesn?t work for you. Maybe the information here is out of date, or it simply didn?t work for you for another reason. You?d probably just chalk it up to a lesson learned and try something else. What you wouldn?t do is to angrily run down to your local bookstore and accuse the owners of operating a scam.

However, if this same bookstore was urging people to pre-order a new book which they were hyping up and you were to show up on the day of sale to find the bookstore had closed up and the owners skipped town; now that would be a scam.

A scam, according to the dictionary, is 'a fraudulent business scheme; a swindle'. A scam involves fraud and an intention to deceive. Scams are illegal. It is not correct to use this word to describe something offered and delivered in good faith.

People are naturally a little resistant to buy anything online, especially with the word scam being used so lightly. In many cases, it?s simply a customer who didn?t get the results they wanted trying to shift the blame to the product. While you may not want to buy these products, it would not be accurate to call them Forex scams. - 23159
