information to learn : FOREX (FOReign EXchange market)
FOREX is a somewhat unique market for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is one of the few markets in which it can be said with very few qualifications that it is free of external controls and that it cannot be manipulated. It is also the largest liquid financial market, with trade reaching between 1 and 1.5 trillion US dollars a day. With this much money moving this fast, it is clear why a single investor would find it near impossible to significantly affect the price of a major currency. Furthermore, the liquidity of the market means that unlike some rarely traded stock, traders are able to open and close positions within a few seconds as there are always willing buyers and sellers.
How FOREX Works
Transactions in foreign currencies are not centralized on an exchange, unlike say the NYSE, and thus take place all over the world via telecommunications. Trade is open 24 hours a day from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon (00:00 GMT on Monday to 10:00 pm GMT on Friday). In almost every time zone around the world, there are dealers who will quote all major currencies. After deciding what currency the investor would like to purchase, he or she does so via one of these dealers (some of which can be found online). It is quite common practice for investors to speculate on currency prices by getting a credit line (which are available to those with capital as small as $500), and vastly increase their potential gains and losses. This is called marginal trading.
EXAMPLE: You believe that signals in the market are indicating that the British Pound will go up against the US Dollar. You open 1 lot for buying the Pound with a 1% margin at the price of 1.49889 and wait for the exchange rate to climb. At some point in the future, your predictions come true and you decide to sell. You close the position at 1.5050 and earn 61 pips or about $405. Thus, on an initial capital investment of $1,000, you have made over 40% in profits. (Just as an example of how exchange rates change in the course of a day, an average daily change of the Euro (in Dollars) is about 70 to 100 pips.)
When you decide to close a position, the deposit sum that you originally made is returned to you and a calculation of your profits or losses is done. This profit or loss is then credited to your account.
Investment Strategies: Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis
FOREX investing is one of the most potentially rewarding types of investments available. While certainly the risk is great, the ability to conduct marginal trading on FOREX means that potential profits are enormous relative to initial capital investments. Another benefit of FOREX is that its size prevents almost all attempts by others to influence the market for their own gain. So that when investing in foreign currency markets one can feel quite confident that the investment he or she is making has the same opportunity for profit as other investors throughout the world. While investing in FOREX short term requires a certain degree of diligence, investors who utilize a technical analysis can feel relatively confident that their own ability to read the daily fluctuations of the currency market are sufficiently adequate to give them the knowledge necessary to make informed investments.

How About Those Stress Tests…
What’s the deal with those stress tests? It sounds like the setup for a Jerry Seinfeld joke, and given the way the tests were viewed by the markets, it might as well have been. According to the EU, the tests were a tremendous success. According to investors, the results were irrelevant at best, and patently misleading at worst.
The stress tests were first proposed last month as a way to gauge the health of the EU banking sector; it was hoped that the results would demonstrate the soundness of the banking system and mollify investors. Since then, momentum continued to build in the markets, as investors engaged in meta-speculation about the potential impact of the stress tests.
When the news was initially released, the Euro sea-sawed – first rising, then falling – and analysts rushed to ascribe sometimes-contradicting sentiments. First, there was “concern,” then came “relief.” From where I was sitting, the markets’ reaction was basically somewhere between a shrug and a yawn. First of all, investors saw the tests for the charade that they essentially were. The only reason that EU regulators were willing to conduct them publicly was because they knew that the results would be positive. As I wrote above, it was intended in advance that the tests would “mollify investors.”
In fact, that test could come quite soon, as the ECB continues to recall the hundreds of Billions of Euros in loans that it made to commercial banks. If LIBOR rates remain steady and the markets remain liquid, then the stress tests can be called a success. If private investors balk and/or the ECB is forced to extend its lending program, however, the tests will be seen in hindsight as a waste of time.

The latest trends in makeup this spring!
The latest trends in makeup this spring!
With Valentine’s Day just gone past and with the air of romance still hanging heavy , you would like to be up and going with the fashion and beauty statement just to stun him and fascinate him with your make up” and hairstyles. So here are some tips that you can quickly make use of while the D-Day draws near. And moreover every day is a Valentine’s day for the lovers. So why not stay tuned with the make up and beauty schedule always and forever.
The way to look beautiful is by having healthy skin which breathes life. The skin should have a well cared for look.
For that you have to undergo the daily ritual of cleaning, toning and moisturizing your skin. Start with cleaning the face every morning and every night. You should not forget to moisturize the eyes. You have to moisturize the hands and face with a lotion. You can use some mask once a week. You can also use some serum which is appropriate for the skin.
There you are… ready with a fresh dewy skin and now for some make up. You are to have healthy, dewy skin and a luminous effect. You should work on the dark circles and blend the foundation thoroughly so that it looks natural.
You can well try out the colors like chocolates, coffees and the cappuccino colors this season. That should give you a seductive look. You can also go in for the smokey make up for the eyes. For that the interior of the eyelid should be marked with a dark pencil in the lower and the upper eyelids. You can also draw a thin line on the upper eyelids and thicken it gradually. The pencil color on the eyes can be blended with a brown shadow. The lower lids can also be blended with a fine brush in a gentle manner. A shiny cream with some golden hue can be applied to the upper eyelid. Lastly, you can add to the lashes with a bit of intensity. For that you may add two mascara layers.
The faint blush can be applied to the cheeks in rose tones. You can apply the foundation and then apply the blush with a brush gently. You can use some translucent powder and then some powder blush if you need to. You can blend the blush with a soft sponge or with your fingertips.
You are ready for that blind date this spring evening!

foobar
The terms foobar, foo, bar, and baz are common placeholder names (also referred to as metasyntactic variables) used in computer programming or computer-related documentation. They are commonly used to name variables or functions whose purpose is unimportant and serve only to demonstrate a concept. The terms can be used to represent any part of a complicated system or idea, including the data, variables, functions, and commands. The words themselves have no meaning in this usage, and are merely logical representations, much like the letters x and y are used in algebra. Foobar is often used alone; foo, bar, and baz are usually used in that order, when multiple entities are needed.
The usage in computer programming examples and pseudocode varies; in certain circles, it is used extensively, but many prefer descriptive names, while others prefer to use simple concise letters (such as A,B and a,b etc). Eric S. Raymond has called it an "important hackerism" alongside kludge and cruft.

Would You Wear… Patterned Trousers?

Trousers are rarely thought of as a popular summer style, but after major fashion houses such as Derek Lam, Miu Miu, and Balenciaga introduced them in their Resort collections this season, fashionistas everywhere have been spotted rocking them. Even celebs like Katy Perry and Keira Knightley have worn the trend in various patterns.
So, what to think of this trend? On the plus side, patterned trousers provide a fresh update to a conventional workwear piece – they’re a fun take on something traditional. Also, they could easily be worn with a cute top for a fun day outfit if you’re going – say – shopping or out to lunch with friends.
The problem with patterned trousers, however, is that they can easily become overwhelming. It’s not hard for these trousers to be too colorful or too busy and make you look as if you’re swimming in your outfit. They could also potentially be mistaken for pajama pants if worn with baggy clothes, but this could be solved with a classy pair of heels and jewelry. (See the Derek Lam example on the left, above.)
What do you think?
I want to know your thoughts on this trend: would you wear patterned trousers? If so, what would you wear them with? Is this look fun and whimsical or just tacky and too-much? Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment!
