Aug 19, 2009 | Forex is not for me

The lure of easy and quick money proved too much and I tried my hand at the foreign exchange markets, having done reasonably well in practice accounts a few days prior. I wince a bit in writing this but in short I will likely keep my money invested in more secure and reliable sources, albeit with fewer margins of profit. Granted, I did start with a minimum amount and thus my losses were small (and my profits, when I had them, were even smaller), so I ought to take that as a lesson learned. I'm not ready to start investing more time and effort into learning about it in more detail, either.

Besides, I like watching stupid videos online and playing Red Alert 3 instead of watching numbers go up and down (insert *bitterness* here)
