Playing The Forex Boom

Levi Strauss made a fortune during the California gold rush and he never found a single nugget. Instead, he sold jeans to all the other fools looking for gold.

As Levi had no intention to dig for gold I have no intentions to learn Forex trading but I can't ignore it's growing popularity. Therefore, what do you think would be the best long term play on the forex boom?

Assuming the play would be a broker or an exchange, which ones are in a position to make the most profit off the boom?

 

Just my opinion.

The Big O

Currenex

FXCM

but the fragmented forex market is expecting some change soon, such as the Reuters/CME standardized quotes stage.

 

You want to "clean up"? Get involved in money laundering!

 

A true ECN. Unfortunately, CME will be first to market.

 

Dudes listen to the original poster. Do what Levi did. Don't actually *trade* forex, just sell things to those who do:

1) Courses
2) Signals
3) E-books
4) Newsletters

 

You forgot amulets

 

do the same thing for the interest rates market. give retail investors accessibility to something like tradeweb.com

 

open a bucket shop similar to Oanda, and rape people on the spread.

 

Give people a billion to one margin.

 

Hey that's a good idea. I'll start selling Forex amulets on e-bay! They'll be like little $$$ blings!
