But is there still value in the index, if one is to look more closely to it ‘without’ the aforementioned ticker symbols. That is usually a hypothetical but what if it wasn’t. What if we were to trade the individual stocks within the NASDAQ 100 based on merit. Is value for 3x, 4x, or 7x returns still lingering about?

Introduction to Forex Trading

Forex trading, short for foreign exchange trading, is like playing a global game of "I'll trade you this for that." But instead of trading toys, you're trading currencies. The purpose? To profit from the constantly changing exchange rates between different currencies.

Currencies can be both bought (or a 'long' position taken) or sold (a 'short' position). When buying, we profit from the currency moving upwards, whereas selling a currency pair means we profit if the currency pair moves down (similar to shorting stocks).
