Q. I heard about Forex trading, but i really don't know much about it... for example, i am individual and i want to buy stocks in some companies.. Do i have the control in my stocks (like determining the time to buy or sell stocks) or it is only in the hands of the Forex company?... How about others like Gold?
Ok, let me make it clear... lets say i want to trade in stocks.. how can i do that? do i have to find a company to trade for me? but in this case, my stocks will be totally in the hand of the company.. how can i take control of my stocks (like buy or sell them) whenever i want?
Also, i also want to know if i want to sell all my stocks in specific company?
Can i do that by myself ? i mean what is the relation ship between the investor and the stocks company?

Answer
Forex trading and stock trading are completely different. Forex is gambling based on changes in geopolitics deemed likely to influence perceived currency values.

Stock trading is based o your purchase and/or subsequent selling of positions in individual companies. I trade (buy, sell or both) daily throughout the week but never bet in favor of or against currencies.

You can buy gold stocks on the stock market and Forex won't be your passport.

Relationshiop Of Gold with US dollar?

can any one tell me is Gold has any relationship with US Dollar while we trading in forex in other words when Gold up can dollar of usd decline or also up any relationship

Answer
Gold has a safe haven status. It is used to hedge against a weaker dollar. Normally when dollar gets weak gold gets stronger, infact this use to be so in older days. Gold is not really living up to its safe haven status anymore. The inverse relationship between gold and the dollar is no longer an obvious given, as there are many other highly liquid assets out there that are just as safe, and even safer than gold whose value can just be as manipulated by central banks as the dollar value. But I will tell you something - at this point in time we are on uncharted territory. The currency markets are in for some rocky times ahead. Right now, and for the last few years, golds movement correlates with the stock markets movement. And the inverse relationship between gold and dollar is fading. What I am seeing today is a weak dollar against or vs strong other markets and not just gold.
