Although I don’t like playing the money game with pennies, I am a pretty frugal fellow, so I enjoyed reading Eight Sure-Fire Ways to Sock Away $100 published by Free Money Finance. And while on saving, check out the two secrets with instant gratification as suggested by Blueprint for Financial Prosperity.

Buffet seems to read my blog *grin*. When the market falls he is buying stocks.

The Canadian Capitalist has revisited high interest savings accounts.

The DINKs ask how bad is inflation really. Pretty bad, but only if you can’t beat it - I would say.

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.

I read a lot of investment blogs, but don’t necessarily expect you to do the same. So I will occasionally select the most interesting stuff published out there and give you short remarks and links. If you are a blogger too, let me know when you publish something that can be related to aggressive investing.

• Saving is one of the ways to obtain money for investing. The Clever Dude is proposing 3 ways to do it - first, second, third.
• Elle wonders if the technology is pushing us further into debt. And debt and investing rare go hand in hand (unless done the right way)

But yes, the trading results are very volatile.

People constantly come to this blog searching for words and phrases like the ones on the screenshot below:

So I wanted to post this bit and make it clear that GalleonFX managed forex account is not a scam. The results posted on their sites are real and I am able to verify this because I have an active account with them.

However…

The trading is really very voilatile. At the end of 2007 my account was up with 44% for about six months.

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.

The holidays are coming and it’s a good time to check out how some of the promising managed forex accounts are doing recently. There are about 7-8 services I either follow close or have already invested in. For most of them you have already read reviews or picks on this site, others will be reviewed soon.

If you plan to start the New Year with a good aggressive investment, keep reading how these services are performing.

GalleonFX (read GalleonFX review) as usual had some ups and downs, but at the moment the profit for December is about 8.5%. Not bad in my book. The promotions are over and the minimum is now again $10,000.

A couple of months ago I gave you some info about BetOnMarkets Clubs And Gurus. I hope you have taken the last paragraphs seriously.

“Of course there is zero guarantee that the guru is really a guru.”

In September I decided to subscribe for a guru called Carlo Ferrari who at that had a pretty impressive track record. The first few bets were fifty-fifty, I even made a small profit. Then for some reason Carlo was convinced that NASDAQ will fall down and started sending signal after signal for bearish bets. If you have followed the markets you know what happened to NASDAQ at that time - raised pretty nice.

This is just a quick reminder that from December, FXCM.com managed accounts (click the link to see the Shark Investor pick) is raising the minimum investment from December 1st, 2007. It is still just $1,000 and will be raised to $5,000.

If you have not registered for their managed accounts yet, there is no time to catch the low minimum. But if you have an account which is not yet funded, hurry up.

FXFareast is a forex managed account service offered by Alexander Kim. You can see the first shark investor pick here.

Unfortunately the last four months aren’t at all good:

• 16% loss for July
• Only 2% profit in August
• 12% loss in September
• Flat October

Obviously these who have invested recently have no much reasons to celebrate. I would wait for some positive signs before investing in this managed account now.

A positive thing is that they honestly report their result without delays unlike many other services. So for sure it would be good idea to keep your eye on the site.
