If you have read the Forex Signals Tutorial and my first impressions about Millennium Traders, you have figured out that I really liked them. I still think that moderator guy JT knows his stuff, although the end of January and beginning of February has been quite poor for my trading with them. There were mostly signals which were hitting the stop loss and the few good ones didn’t make anything more than 10 - 20 pips.
The thing which worried me most and made my decision to stop using them was the stats on their home page. Even in the bads week the forex trading room the stats keep showing positive results.

Some time ago we wrote about hot mutual funds. If you have been around the financial world for a while, you must have heard about the emerging economies in East Europe. The mutual funds in the new EU members Bulgaria and Romania achieved great returns - some of them close of above 100% per year.
In the Autumn, when I asked the email subscribers to pay some attention to these funds, there was a nice increase of the prices. However quickly after that in November and December in most East European stock exchanges there was a significant correction leading to most funds losing 10% - 20% of their value. The fund prices have not moved much since then.
