| | Basic Differences Between Forex and Stock Markets | | 2008-07-11 03:57:23 | | The word forex is a short form of the word Foreign Exchange, which is the basis of the commercial transactions which take place between two countries with their own currencies. The forex market refers to the trading that takes place within this area and is different from the stock market. Established since the '70s, this market deals not just with one business or investment but the entire gamut of trading and selling of currencies.While both the forex and the stock markets deal with money, the biggest difference between the two is the sheer volume of money transacted on a daily basis as well the span of operations. The forex market deals with nearly 2 trillions of dollars which in comparison to any stock market is much larger. The players in the forex market are also different, where the money transactions are done between governments, international banks and financial institutions of different countries.The amount of money which is bought, sold or traded in a forex market can quickly | | By: Finance fantasy | | |

| | Investing In The Stock Markets | | 2008-06-30 20:46:34 | | You have recently decided to start investing in the stock market, but you do not have any idea how it works, so you are doing a lot of research, but do you know what kind of investor you are?There are a broad range of stocks available to invest in, and ideally, you want to pick the stocks that best match your investing style. What is your investing style you may ask yourself? Well, if are you interested in short-term growth with higher risks, than you may want to look at penny stocks. If you would rather not take as much of a risk, but allow your investment to grow over time, you may want to consider some type of income stock, which sometimes can even pay a dividend on the shares that you own. A dividend is a profit sharing incentive offered by some companies on the shares of their stock to help make up for the slower growth those stocks experience.If you wish, you can invest in technology stocks, such as Google, or Yahoo, hoping to be a part of the next dot-com rush by maybe finding a | | By: Finance fantasy | | |

| | JPMorgan may cut 4,000 jobs on Bear deal, markets | | 2008-05-14 01:40:00 | | NEW YORK - JPMORGAN Chase could cut as many as 4,000 of its own employees worldwide as the bank prepares to take on staff from Bear Stearns at the same time it deals with turmoil in financial markets, people familiar with the situation said. In addition to roughly 2,000 JPMorgan employees who will be replaced by counterparts acquired through its takeover of Bear Stearns, the sources said that an additional 1,000 to 2,000 JPMorgan employees may lose their jobs because of the slowdown in investment banking activity and credit market crisis. Final decisions dealing with specific employees have not been made, though JPMorgan is expected to decide on market-related cuts by early June, the sources said on Tuesday. JPMorgan, which expects to complete its takeover of Bear Stearns around June 1, told investors on Monday the bank had made decisions on about 10,000 of Bear's nearly 14,000 employees.

| | Most Europe Markets Fall After Rate Decisions | | 2008-05-08 13:46:39 | | LONDON - Most European stock markets ended lower Thursday, as the European Central Bank and the Bank of England kept interest rates on hold as they flag up inflation concerns in a period of record oil prices. The pan-European Dow Jones Stoxx 600 index closed a fraction of a percentage point lower to 329.28, with banks across Europe lower as the major central banks held rates unchanged. In London, shares of U.K. mortgage lender HBOS fell 1.2% and Barclays declined 2.5%, lower after the Bank of England kept rates on hold at 5%, a move that generated mild disappointment for investors hoping for a rate cut to shore up an ailing housing market. Likewise, the European Central Bank held its key interest rate steady as worries about euro-zone inflation outweighed concerns over an economy whose growth appears to be stalling.

| | Scalping - When Is The Best Time Of The Day To Scalp The Forex Markets? | | 2008-04-27 18:34:00 | | Scalping can mean different things to different traders, but I personally take scalping to mean very short-term trading, ie trades generally last just a few minutes and no longer than about an hour at most.Most of my trades last longer than this, but saying that I do still dabble in very short-term trades occasionally and generally do okay, although it is slightly more stressful and you do need quick fingers at times.However, what I've noticed is that there is definitely one period of the day that is a lot more predictable, and therefore profitable, and that is the start of the London trading session between 8.00 and 9.00 UK time.I first noticed this when trading the FTSE because having always made pretty good profits trading this index between 8.00 and 9.00, I also noticed that the major European currency pairs like the GBP/USD and the EUR/USD also behaved in a similar way.This opening hour usually tends to set the trend for the day and as a result you often see strong sustained moves | | By: Forex Days - All about the currency market | | |

These risks include lending standards in mortgages, leverage in the funding of securitized products, and the use of short-term financing for illiquid long-term assets outside of the regulated banking sector. This will change behavior for market participants "for at least a decade," they wrote, in line with fallout from previous crises.
