Forex Trading Online - 7 Reasons Why You Should!Written by Keith Thompson
Forex trading online is a fast way to use your investment capital to it's fullest. The Forex markets offer distinct advantages to small and large traders alike, making Forex currency trading in many ways preferable to other markets such as stocks, options or traditional futures. Here are seven reasons why you'll want to look into Forex Trading online.1 - Forex is largest market. Forex trading volume of more than 1.9 billion, more than 3 times larger than equities market and more than 5 times bigger than futures, give Forex traders nearly unlimited liquidity and flexibility. 2 - Forex never sleeps! You can execute forex trading online 24/7, from 7AM New Zealand time on Monday morning, to 5PM New York time on Friday evening. No waiting for markets to open: they're open all night! This makes Forex trading online a very attractive component that fits easily into your day (or night!) 3 - No Bulls or Bears! Because Forex trading online involves buying of one currency while simultaneously selling another, you have an equal opportunity for profit no matter which direction currency is headed. Another advantage is that there are only around 14 pairs of currencies to trade, as opposed to many thousands of stocks, options and futures. 4 - Forex Trading online offers great leverage! You can make most of your investment resources with Forex trading online. Some brokers offer 200:1 margin ratios in your trading accounts. Mini-FX accounts, which can typically be opened with only $200-300, offer 0.5% margin, meaning that $50 in trading capital can control a 10,000 unit currency position. This is why people are flocking to Forex trading online as a way to highly leverage their investments.
| | Are You Overpaying Taxes If You Use Tax Preparation Software?Written by Richard A. Chapo
For many business owners answer to this quandary is tax preparation software. Fill out a fairly simple interview, click “print” and out comes a completed return that will pass muster with IRS. The answer to all your problems…or is it?Can One Software Program Cover All Businesses? Take a moment to consider wide range of businesses that exist in United States. Now cut that number down to those that can be categorized as “Internet businesses”. If you were asked to write a business plan to provide web design services to each of these services, how long would it be? It would be huge and completely useless because each business would have different needs. A Internet business selling flowers would have completely different needs from an online bank which would have different needs from a hosting company and so on. The only way you could create a practical plan for all Internet businesses would be to offer a collection of general services they could all use on their sites. Tax preparation software designers have same problem. There are over 15,000 pages in tax code and over 100,000 pages of regulations interpreting those pages. Changes are made to tax code ever year, and new regulations are issued constantly. If one were to create a list of questions for every tax deduction and credit detailed in those pages, list of questions would be size of a phone book! Yet, tax software programmers have somehow boiled it all down to a simple 30-minute interview process? Common sense should tell you that doesn’t make sense. As practical matter, tax software programs are designed to make sure that you claim a general set of deductions that are applicable to businesses across all industries. Most programs try to mask this fact by asking you to identify your business before proceeding. For a lark, you might try selecting another industry and then running through interview process. You will find that interview process is modified a bit, but you are still being asked same basic tax deduction questions.
