Five Reasons Why Forex Is Better Than Stocks

You want to invest, but you can't decide between forex and stocks? Take our advice: Go for forex. Forex is a better investment than stocks. Here are five reasons why:

1. Forex is cheaper than stocks.

In stocks, you need invest about several thousand dollars to start trading.

In forex, you can open an account on as low as 250 dollars, although we would not recommend sarting on such a small amount. We do recommend starting with at least one thousand dollars, and that is still less than what you would need to buy stocks for trading.

2. Forex earns more than stocks.

That's because, unlike stock brokers, your forex brokers deduct no commissions whatsoever from your profits. They make their own profits by setting a difference between the price for which they buy money and the price for which they sell it. That, however is not your concern. What's important is that YOUR basic profit remains untouched.

3. Forex is faster than stocks.

Most of us know that one rule in stocks is not to buy anything you wouldn't want to keep for ten years, at least - and many people do keep their stocks for ten years.

Not so with forex. In forex, you can open a trade, earn money and close it, all in the span of one day!

4. Forex is safer than stocks.

Because forex is such a huge, HUGE market, there is no single entity than can control its trade and its prices. Because it is so large and liquid, forex is more stable and more predictable than stocks.

How big is Forex? Think of it this way: approximately 200 billion dollars are traded each day on stocks. Approximately 2 TRILLION dollars are traded each day in forex.

5. Forex is easier than stocks.

First, it is easier to follow forex trends because, as we have mentioned before, they are more stable and predictable.

Second, you can access forex anytime from your computer because it is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Finally, while you might need to keep track of about 3,500 stocks in the NASDAQ or 4,500 in the NY Stock Exchange, you only have to keep track of 8 major currencies in forex: the US dollar, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the New Zealand dollar, the Japanese yen, the Great Britain pound, the Swiss franc, and the Euro.

That's why we recommend that you invest in forex, rather than in stocks: forex is cheaper, earns more, faster, safer, and easier. With just one thousand dollars, you can be on your way to forex trading and making money from home.
