In the last 20 years, I have been a stock broker, a municipal bond broker as well as a commodity broker. Do you know what I discovered? I discovered that stocks are boring. I discovered that municipal bonds are more boring, and I discovered most commodity traders lose money. But then I discovered the FOREX markets! That's right, the foreign exchange market! This is the market that is happening now, this is where the action is. I will never, ever go back to any other type of investment, just the FOREX market. Think about:

• It trades 3 Trillion dollars daily.
• It is open 24 hours a day, 5 1/2 days a week.
• You do not have to pay a commission to a broker.
• You get free charting software and a live trading platform.
• Technical indicators galore come with all trading platforms, again for free.
• You can open a trading account with as little as $50.  

And yes, I spent a load of money on books, CD's, courses, and tapes about trading, stocks, options, futures and the forex. In fact, I could have funded a trading account with the amount of money I spent on those materials.

Well, with all that new found wealth of trading materials in hand, I set out to find a low risk strategy where I could invest my money (and not lose it all) and potentially make an extra thousand dollars or so a month.
