Currency ETFs

The ONLY Place Where There’s ALWAYS a Bull Market
Currencies like the dollar, the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen are always rising and falling against each other — and when one currency is falling in value, it means by definition that another currency is rising in value.
That means no matter how frightening things get on Wall Street, THERE IS ALWAYS A BULL MARKET TO BE FOUND IN CURRENCIES!
And now, thanks to simple exchange traded funds (ETFs), you can harness the money-making power of currencies with investments that are as easy to buy or sell as a share of stock in IBM or Microsoft! All thanks to new ETFs dedicated to foreign currencies that ANY investor can buy in a regular brokerage account!
And the profits can be substantial ...
* If you bet against the British pound last August — three and one-half months ago — you could have grabbed the equivalent of a 52% annualized gain.
* Also last August, if you bet against the euro, you could have grabbed the equivalent of an 81% annualized gain.
* And at the same time, you could have bet against the Australian dollar and grabbed the equivalent of a 68% annualized gain!
You can’t go back to grab those returns, and neither can I, but imagine what would happen if you could make trades like that over and over again.
I call my currency ETF trading strategy “The Secret of Speed Profits” — and if you’ll give me just two minutes per trading day — a mere ten minutes per week — it can work for you beginning right now.

Some more advantages ...
You don’t have to be an expert investor — everyday people are doing this right now ...
You don’t need to be a millionaire — you can get started with as little as $100 ...
You don’t have to know which stocks will sink or soar — or even dip so much as your pinky toe into the death-defying stock or commodity markets ...
You won’t need any kind of fancy-schmancy commodity or forex trading account; your current brokerage account is just fine ...
You won’t be asked to accept a single risk that makes you uncomfortable — you will always know precisely what you stand to gain or lose to the very penny ...

Put simply ...
All you need is an Internet connectionand the desire to add thousands of dollarsto your portfolio.

Nine HUGE Advantages of Currency ETFs.
Advantage #1 — Currency ETFs are unrelated to any stock or bond market: Currency ETFs invest exclusively in the currency itself — CASH MONEY. You NEVER own a single share of stock or any kind of bond.
Advantage #2 — They shield you from failing institutions: Since you never invest in a stock or bond of a corporation that could default, currency ETFs are far removed from the debt crisis. The debt crisis can even help drive some currencies HIGHER — another OPPORTUNITY to PROFIT from the crisis.
Advantage #3 — Your investment pays you interest: Since most currency ETFs put your money in cash, they often pay interest ON TOP of any profit you earn as the currency rises. In fact, with some currency ETFs, the interest yield is higher than what you can make in a typical money market.
Advantage #4 — You can profit from moves in EVERY major currency: You can buy an ETF devoted to the U.S. dollar, the euro, the British pound, the Swiss Franc, the Japanese yen, the Australian and Canadian dollars and many more.
Plus, because there are also INVERSE currency ETFs, you can also make money when key currencies are falling!
Advantage #5 — Low minimum investment: Because currency ETFs are simply shares traded on the exchange, you can start with just a single share for as little as $25.
So, with a couple of thousand dollars you can buy a whole range of different ETFs across several different currencies. Or you can give our strategy a try with a tiny stake.
Advantage #6 — They’re cheap to own, too: With currency ETFs, you also avoid the big loads (sales charges) that some mutual funds require. When you buy and sell, you do have to pay a broker commission, of course. But if you use a discount or online broker, your commission costs can be slashed to the bone.
Advantage #7 — No trading limits to slow us down: Most mutual fund families discourage frequent switching. If you jump too soon too often, they may send you a warning to restrict your trading. With ETFs, aside from the tiny commissions you pay, switching is not an issue.
Plus, unlike mutual funds, ETFs are priced continually throughout the trading day: You can buy or sell whenever you want to.
Advantage #8 — They’re the soul of simplicity to buy and sell: Since currency ETFs are traded on the exchange much like stocks, you can use stops-loss orders to help protect your profits or cut a loss.
Plus you have the opportunity to buy and sell at better prices by using limits — orders to your broker that specify the minimum or maximum price you’ll accept.
Advantage #9 — NEW: Some currency ETFs are now available with DOUBLE leverage! With these just-released ETFs, your investment moves 20% for every 10% move in the currency. That gives you the potential to transform what could already be a relatively large move in the currency into a GIANT move in your portfolio.
