It depends on your capital. Most University / College students like to trade Forex as it only requires minimum capital. You can start from as low as USD $100-500.
Whereas Mutual Fund and Stock Market is not attractive in this bear market and they require huge capital IMHO, their Risk : Reward is not good enough
You can drop me a PM if you like to know more. Thanks

above statements are 100% sales talk and is exactly how tons of ppl dig into their graves even after they became millionaires
( story about why rich ppl kill themselves)

in long run, 99% chances are you lose all you had in forex.

the best you can get from forex is you get the beginner luck, win and pull out forever. Which is almost never the case.

if still want to invest in forex, always remember you can start FREE

1) download free software from metatrade with free demo account
2) learn the basic buy, sell, long, short, price gap, which currency pairs you can trade, which not etc.
3) form your own trading strategy, stick to it ( still in demo account )
4) learn to write EA scripts, back test your strategy in 3) and see if they work for how many currency pairs, what kind of market will it work etc.
5) when you find a strategy ( in EA ) that you have high confidence (ie. has been proven to earn consistently more than 15% for the past 10 years in more than 2 currency pairs ), then only you start putting money into forex.

if you have no persistency to go through all above steps, I guarantee your permanent lost in less than 500 trades.

sorry to those who earn their living from forex training, education, consultancy etc, but seriously you guys can do better to educate the right tings and the right ways in forex.

students should only play forex for the sake of learning, and with USD 100-500, one should only prepare to learn, not a long term accumulation for your serious future study fund etc.

Agree on that too. Earn the experience not the money that matters..

I also invest my money to run some biz called USANA HEALTHCARE SCIENCE..after several times attended their group meeting and talks,i take the opportunity to join them.So far so good!!Best company ever for the healthcare products

you can buy a unit trust bond from most unit trust companies. That's probably easiest.

Hi all,


Since all foreigners investing in United States have to enclose the W8-BEN (tax-withholding form),
and as few posts has mentioned earlier, 30% of the dividends and interests earned from stocks will be deducted directly from the
investment accounts.


Could someone please shed light upon these:

1) 30% of dividends from foreigners' US mutual funds will be withheld as well? (DRIP will be affected?)

2) The same also applies to ETFs and bonds?


Thanks

Hi.
I recently opened a retirement fund from CiMB 6 months ago. It automatically takes rm200 from my bank each month. I would like to know if it is a wise investment? The advisor said that I will not get any return until 3rd or 4th year. I'm 20 this year. I hope someone will be able to advice me on this because I'm noob. thanks a lot

wat is the fund name?

If u go to d website, it is under retirement fund. They diversify their unit trusts investments if I'm not mistaken

hello all investor (local and international). What will you do if the director of the fund that you invest with trustee, has take the money and run away. Can you blame the trustee didnt do their job and ask them give back the money to you?

When you invested the money, the money is with Trustee aka in trust account that maintained/controlled by trustee. All asset, invested money in the form of shares, properties etc is on trustee name.
The money is not with fund manager or director of fund.

dude its doesnt takes an idiot to realise you are just promoting you thing...
