An investor looking for countries that are on the move economically need to take a look at the Economic Jaguars of South America. These are the nations of Colombia, Peru and Chile. They are all economically growing at a fast pace and are all welcoming foreign investment to turbocharge various sectors of their economy. A visitor returning a decade later will be amazed at the stride of change taking place especially in Colombia and Peru. Chile of course had a head start […]
An investment in Russia near the end of the crisis in Ukraine and Crimea would be an excellent move. This would take advantage of the recent plunge in the stock market (near 13%) and the further devaluation of the Russian ruble this week (3%). The recent decline in the ruble is the result of both foreign and domestic investors reacting to the diplomatic crisis by selling the Russian ruble for western currencies. The current annual cash outflow of 60 billion in the […]
To make an investment in a currency it is important to remember that one must consider convertibility. There are three classifications of currencies. They are fully convertible, partially convertible, and nonconvertible. Fully Convertible exists when there are no restrictions or limitations on the currency. A trader would be able to purchase and sell any amount of the currency on the international market. The government of the respective country does not impose a fixed value or minimum value of the currency in the […]
Editors Note: This is a recap by one of our up and coming master traders in our training program. Had an absolutely incredible day today in the markets with only four trades and over 10 points! First day of a new month is always an exciting day to trade. With all the geopolitical events going on I knew today had the potential for some good movement early. I wasn’t disappointed. After seeing the market opened with a gap down and then trade […]

Another great day for our Master Trader James. Hey everyone, don’t have time to do an extensive write up but wanted to share […]

A timely investment in Dewmar International BMC, Inc. (DEWM) would be a good idea at this time. The Las Vegas Nevada based company which has a 52 week stock price range of .01 to .03 has great growth potential as the legalization of hemp increases across North America particularly the United States. Dewmar at the close of the market on Friday February 28, saw a gain of 31.58% for the day. The stock increased 0.0036 bringing the stock price to $0.015. Dewmar […]
An investment in China despite the recent economic slowdown still makes sense. The best way would be to invest in a company that is already on the ground and has local partners and affiliates. Let them worry about local officials and laws as well as government regulations and corruption. China in geographic terms is a continental giant at 9,596,961 km (3,705,406 sq miles) making it the 3rd largest nation in the world. It stretches some 5,026 km (3,123 miles) across the East […]

Their first week live so far has been extremely profitable with mostly winning trades and more importantly, very good decisions. Here is a small recap of their third day trading live. We have been training our Colombian traders every day live in the […]
Now the second Colombian trader has gone live. It just wasn’t enough that one went live in 3.5 weeks. No, he was lonely. He needed a partner in crime. At least that is the way it seems like. Santiago, the second trader to go live, he snuck right behind our expectations of what he was going to be able to do trading. The guy is cooler than the other side of the pillow. Laid back as a rocking chair. As easy going […]
