I trade currencies along with commodities. If you want to know more info on currency trading, go to: http://www.accountforex.com. It will give you some basic information such as "THERE ARE NO CLEARING HOUSES", ( clearing houses reduce the risk of one or more clearing firm failing to honor its trade settlement obligations) members trade with each other based on credit agreements.

With Al Sadr comes the Irani influence and the strong possibility of future conflict within Iraq by his followers funded by Iran, especially after we leave. Our strongest allies are probably the Kurds, who border both Iran and Turkey, have made progress in working out their differences with Turkey, who actually like Americans as a whole and have a growing economy that is providing the Kurds with opportunities while Iraqi's are still waiting for continuous daily power and water delivery. Al Sadr is also a reminder of the religous influence (Sunni and Shia) in the daily life of an Iraqi and only time will tell if the two will be willing to compromise to reach a common goal or pull Iraq apart. In any event, American influence will not be as strong as we would like.

I invest in currencies and commodities and there has been talk for sometime about the collapse of the dollar due to our debt load, entitlements, devisive governemnt etc. Look to the EURO to fall before the dollar does, Europe, as a whole, is in worse shape than we are. If the EURO goes (and there has been delays by some of the eastern bloc of the former USSR to join due to the debt load of the EURO's current members casuing more problems), then there is a strong chance that the dollar will fall shortly after that. If the RV does happen at a rate that can produce substantial income, I would recommend sitting down with a currency specialist (there are companies that specialize in this) and get their view before making any decisions.

Maybe we forgot what commerce "American Style" is all about. If Ali can increase his prices and make an additional profit, so what? If you don't like the price, don't buy. You do realize that there is profit in any commodity-Jewelry-Cars-Appliances-Teeth (You pay a dentist about $800 to $1000 for a tooth replacement that cost him somewhere between 200 and 350 dollars- my nephew owns a dental lab), etc. That's suppose to be how a capitalistic society operates. I will agree that TK, Okie are full of BS. but I don't think their pumpers. I think they just need to feel important. But Ali is a businessman and if you're willing to pay what he is asking. then he's no different than anyone wlse that you do business with.

Hard to trust a guy who can't spell his own name: "topguner" is spelled with two n's - "topgunner" or maybe the u should be an o and read "topgoner"

Maybe the reason it disappeared is that it's from TerryK.

Banks will charge you a currency exchange fee, also known as an agio. It is their commission for doing the transaction, varies from bank to bank and is usually a percentage of the total amount exchanged or possibly, depending on your relationship and holdings with the bank, a flat fee. It is not half off the top.
