Controlling Your Forex Investment
Investing can be a fun and exciting way to make money. To many times the young investor doesn’t understand some of the most basic rules of investing. This causes the first time investor to loose money and get discouraged; thus quitting altogether. That isn’t the answer to wealth and riches.
This is a lesson that I learned later on in my investing life. I started investing without any control over the investments that I was in. I automatically thought that the people I gave my money to were going to be concerned with my money as much as I was. That is wrong! People are people no matter where you go, and it is first nature to look after our own possessions and interests before we look after someone else.
I can still hear my father saying, “Bob, no one will care for your money like you will”. At first I was a little bit confused. I thought surely my broker and banker wanted me to make money, and they do. Just remember that they want, and need to make money as well. This is their first priority and there is nothing wrong with that. You just need to keep control and determine your own destiny.
Ultimately whether we make money or loose money we are the ones that have to be responsible. We can not blame a broker that they lost our money, unless they were involved in doing something illegal; which normally isn’t the case. If you give full and total control to your broker and they loose your money it is your fault. It is your fault because you didn’t take care of what is yours.
Please don’t misunderstand me, I like brokers. I think that they play a very important role in investing. They can be especially helpful with you if you have little or no experience. Just don’t loose control of your money! You have to ask yourself the question “how does my broker make money?” Then we can see the thing that is going to motivate our broker. They will suggest all kinds of investments because they make money when you invest. Even when you loose money! So take good care of your money, you worked to hard for it to throw it away.
Let’s think about control over money like this. Have you ever loaned your car to someone? Did they take care of it like you would have liked them to? Probably not! You tell them to put a certain kind of gas in it and they forget before they get around the corner. You almost cringe as you know that your car is not in good hands. Well, it can be the same way with money! Except that money when it is damaged or lost can hurt a whole lot more!
It really isn’t that hard to be a successful investor. There are people out there that are not as smart as you making a lot of money in Forex trading. These individuals are doing well because they take control of their money and invest wisely.
This is one of the reasons why I like trading in the Forex market. I can maintain control of my money at all times. I accomplish this by trading with an online forum in which I can control my losses and take in profits. To think that you will invest and never loose money is foolish, but at least you can control how much you loose. And in the end you can sleep at night because it was your decision to make that trade not someone else’s.
