Did You Hear the One About the Trade Deficit?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/14/AR2006021402009.html

Washington Post Feb.15 2006 Steven Pearlstein

Back when U.S.A. budget deficit and  balance of trade were all the worry and Ben Bernanke gave the "knowers" a laugh by suggesting that the problems were from other countries saving too much not the U.S.A. spending too much.. A then and now story.

Sugar Trading

If you live in a country that recognizes that you have a brain and allows you to trade Contracts for Difference (every place except the United States of America) than you will want to take a look at trading #11 sugar with AVA. No huge amounts of money have to put at risk. Contracts for Difference allow even the small punter an opportunity to get into commodity action. Sugar is an international and has a good price action. If you are aware of ethanol than sugar could be for you. Recent report from Sugar online points out some huge CO2 in Brazil, savings that had not been considered previously.
If you are more comfortable with corn trading than trade corn with CFD's. Click AVA banner for all details.

JAPAN’S 1ST IRON ORE SWAP AGREED

Fed. Reserve Gov. Warsh speech June 28,2010

"Excessive growth in government spending is not the economy's salvation, but a principal foe. Slowing the creep of protectionism is no small accomplishment, but it is not the equal of meaningful expansion of trade and investment opportunities to enhance global growth. The European sovereign debt crisis is not upsetting the stability in financial markets; it is demonstrating how far we remain from a sustainable equilibrium. Turning private-sector liabilities into public-sector obligations may effectively buy time, but it alone buys neither stability nor prosperity over the horizon."
-Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh

Hedge your grocery bill

Use Contract for Difference to trade small lots of agricultural commodities.
Notice the price of a loaf of bread going up? Go long wheat for a couple of bucks, small lot not a gazzillion bushels, what you lose at the check out counter you gain out of the market.
 Markets are very egalitarian. Markets exist for everybody because everybody exists and so is part of the market. Traders are much more aware of this. People make markets.

Markets better than law suits.

If people don't know about markets and the money that can be generated by currency and other commodity trading than they think their only shot at their dream comes from the lottery or winning the lawsuit lottery somehow, which puts them in perpetual victim mode, hoping to attract a suable circumstance. How can you be happy that way?
Much better to understand markets and respect leverage for the power that it is for or against you. In other words manage your account and yourself. Trading is about knowing yourself as much as it is knowing a particular market. Download a demo trading platform if you have never traded and become aware of yourself; perhaps to a degree greater than you have ever experienced before. Then do it with real money. Live accounts from $US100. Hey trading for a few cents a pip or tick can still be profitable. A good % return is still a good % return no matter if base is measured in millions.thousands,hundreds,tens,or dollars. Demonstration accounts with $100,000 trading credit free. Lots of experimenting and learning can be accomplished with $100,000 trading credit.
