Forex Markets

The Forex markets are the largest markets in the financial world. Instead of investing in things like companies, commodities like corn or oil, or even things like reserving the option to buy/sell something at a future price, the Forex markets deal with the currencies of the world, and how one country's currency stacks up against another country's. Think the British Pound Sterling is a stronger currency than the American Dollar? You can put your money where your mouth is, and if you're right, you can make money if the Pound Sterling gets stronger, or the American Dollar gets weaker. And that's just the tip of the currency iceberg
