Following Gold

by Ahmad Hassam

Everyone wants to buy gold. Gold is the ultimate global currency. US Dollar used to be pegged to gold before 1973. But with the collapse of the Bretton Woods System that year, US Dollar was unpegged from gold. It became a freely floating currency. Free floating for a currency means the value of the currency is determined by the fundamentals of supply and demand.

Now US Dollar is only backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government. Most of the currencies in the world are free floating now. Many countries are also purchasing gold in the open markets as a hedge of their foreign reserves most of which are in US Dollar. In the present financial crisis with the global economy in recession, many investors are trying to take refuge in gold as the ultimate safe haven of their wealth from financial turmoil.

The Australian Dollar is known for its strong correlation with gold prices. Most of this is due to the amount of gold that Australia produces and exports. US Dollar has an inverse relationship with gold prices. When gold prices rise, US Dollar falls in value. This causes the currency pair AUD/USD to rise in value.

In the modern era, no one wants to restrict the business to a nation. Crossing international borders and exploiting offshore wealth protection strategies are now preferred by business men. Traveling hassle free to another country and protection of investment and privacy is now possible with a diplomatic passport.

Diplomatic passports are issued by a government to its officials, ambassador and other diplomats in respectable diplomatic position. Unlike normal passport, diplomatic passport comes with certain privileges and rights that are not available for others. Traveling without visa and exploiting diplomatic channel is possible only with a diplomatic passport even if you are not an ambassador of any country.

You can become an honorary consul of another government and get the diplomatic passport issued by that government. To encourage people to invest in their countries, several nations are now interested in declaring honorary consul and provide a diplomatic passport. When you travel internationally, you will be recognized as a person in diplomatic position with your second passport.

Its a fact of life: employees must be paid. If you own a business, whether large or small, you cannot get around this fact. However, you can simplify the whole payroll process by choosing a debit card system. A direct debit payroll system eliminates the need to cut and cash checks and allows the money to be deposited directly into an employers account. They can retrieve the money through a debit card or a prepaid credit card and eliminate the extra time, effort and money of the check payment system.

You can minimize your employment pay roll expenses, reduce the time wasted cutting and signing checks, and, most importantly, stand to save a small fortune on monthly payroll fees.

However, think about how debit cards can also benefit others involved.

Imagine what this means for a larger company, with, say 300 employees. Instead of spending hours signing each check before sending it out to your employees, you can use a direct debit service where the money is automatically transferred. In check cashing fees alone, you can stand to save more than $500 monthly or $6,000 annually, according to the APA.

Good money management is the key to your long term success in currency trading. Many people ignore this aspect of trading at their own peril. Trading discipline means using a trading system that uses good money management rules to avoid using emotions in making trading decisions.

You need to have sufficient capital in your account if you want to make meaningful profits. One of the worst blunders that currency traders can make is to trade without sufficient capital. Low capital increases your chances of getting blown out too soon. This does not mean that you should have a lot of money before you start trading. It only means that you need to have enough capital in your account in order take advantage of the movements in the currency markets.

Many forex brokers fix the minimum amount required to open a standard account as $2000. However, it is recommended by most of the professional traders that you should start with at least $2500-5000 to get good results. A trader with limited capital is always a worried trader. He is always looking to minimize losses beyond the point of realistic trading. Never ever trade live without practicing on the demo account for a few months. First, try to double your account at least three times in a row on the demo account.

Currency Options are used by companies as risk management tools. What are Options? Simply stated, it is a contract that gives the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy an underlying asset under specific conditions on payment of a premium.

The buyer may or may not exercise the right. However, if the buyer of an options contract exercises his/her right, the seller is obligated to perform.

In all foreign currency transactions, one currency is purchased and another is sold. Consequently, every currency option is both a call and a put option. A call conveys the right to buy the underlying currency at a specified price. A put gives the buyer the right to sell at a predetermined price.

Now, why options are important as a risk management and hedging tool? Lets make it clear with an example. Suppose a Japanese company has to make the payment for its imports of raw material in three months time in US Dollar.
