(1) Giving Back !

This is my first blog, so please bear with me while i get used to doing it. A few years back, i started out to make a living online buying and selling. Ebay was what I had discovered, but i also worked with other selling online and at markets, etc. Penny shares were something i knew of and had been involved in. Online i found 'Forex' and 'Spread Betting' and decided this was for me. It cost me a lot of money, made a lot of mistakes, and nearly gave up several times. When i first started to actually make money online, all i thought about was paying off debts and making more money and buying stuff i wanted. But there comes a time when you realise you ought to help others too. Capitalism is almost a religion for me and so giving something away for free is not easy for me, also have not figured out how to make this a members only blog ! Have helped and continue to help a few friends and family members, but not everyone has the right temperment to trade/play the Forex online. So have decided to put this info online for a while and hope it can help a few people start and if not become very rich at least make a reasonable second income. There are a few things i will ask of you. First when you learn how to make money on the Forex, i want you to promise you will try and help a few others to do so too and/or give some time or money to some worthy causes - now i know that if you are like me, this will be the last thing on your mind you just want to make some money as quickly as possible, thats OK but when you are set up and can see you can make money like this very well, then please turn back and help another and/or give to some cause, i will post a few i like on this blog in future but you choose whatever you like. Secondly i will put some links and banners on here and maybe some advertising and if you can please visit them, if they are of interest to you - if you ever find a problem with a link or any of the advertising let me know and will look into it, but am going to be very careful and only put stuff on that i know delivers and will comment on them too. I am not the worlds most patient man or a natural teacher, if i was i would be setting up courses and teaching this stuff for around £5,000 to £10,000 which is what i see these courses now charging, but i am not so patient nor am i prepared to answer loads of questions and emails, if i do get comments that need a point explained better i will add it to another post. From my own experience i know that you need the right frame of mind to play the Forex and therefore i will go on a bit about mental and emotional approaches aswell as stress relief, you may find all this tedious but it is important please trust me on this. This blog is called 'Rampant Rods' as a play on the graphs i use, they are normally called candlestick charts, green for rising (long) and red for falling (short), but it also got your attention aswell ! And here are some more Rampant Rods too!
