Article Body
The foreign currency market is the largest trading platform worldwide, primarily dominated by major banks, hedge funds, and governmental influences. As a speculator, you’re venturing into a space where you compete with the brightest minds and powerful supercomputers.
Why Invest in Foreign Currencies?
Holding foreign currencies can serve as a hedge against the depreciation of your home currency. For instance, if your assets and income are based in your home currency and it loses value, so does your entire net worth. Americans, for example, face a growing trade deficit with China, and if China lets its currency fluctuate, the U.S. dollar may devalue against the yuan.
Currency trading can also diversify your investment portfolio. Although mastering it requires considerable learning, including studying technical analysis or even acquiring advanced degrees, success isn’t guaranteed.
A Personal Experience in Currency Trading
Before the Euro was established in 2002, I attempted a low-cost currency trade. After hearing a speech I believed would weaken the German Mark, I withdrew $200, exchanged it for German Marks through American Express Travelers Cheques, and waited. Four months later, despite a 10% increase in the U.S. dollar against the Mark, transaction fees reduced my profit to just $4. This illustrates that using Travelers Cheques requires substantial market trends to cover fees.
Affordable Ways to Access Foreign Currencies
1. ETFs: Use ETFs like FXE, which mimic the USD/Euro exchange rate. With an initial investment of less than $200, you can buy shares to protect against dollar depreciation.
2. Foreign Currency CDs: Everbank.com offers FDIC-insured certificates of deposit in over 10 different foreign currencies with a minimum investment of $10,000. These may yield higher interest rates than regular savings accounts without excessive currency exchange risk.
Conclusion
Venturing into foreign currency investments offers a dynamic alternative to traditional, dollar-based options, giving you both financial benefits and conversation fodder for social gatherings.
