Offshore hedge funds are unregistered pooled investment funds domiciled outside the US (i.e., "offshore") and open only to non-US investors or, occasionally, US tax-exempt "accredited" investors. Offshore hedge funds are usually structured as corporations. Like domestic hedge funds, they are not subject to portfolio management restrictions that may apply to registered funds. Generally, the number of investors is not restricted. Many offshore hedge funds are formed in international tax havens such as Bermuda or the Cayman Islands, which offer privacy as well as tax advantages. It is important to keep in mind that the domicile of a hedge fund is not an indication of its quality.
Forex and stock traders are looking for the consistently wrong investor, trader and take the opposite position. This will obviously lead to winning trades for them. All traders have read trading books that point out that increasing volume is good for the continuation of the trend. Many new stock traders will try and fight the trend.

The largest group of millionaires
Companies that deal well with inflation are the ones to put some money into. Bad news can make a stock's price fall. This is part of the risk in trading stocks. If a companies stock price is high then investors will watch for bad news and short the stock. The largest group of millionaires made their money from shorting stocks. Its better to buy a mediocre stock the one that is high priced because bad news will make it sell off. Remember you make money from the prospect that the company is going to have profits quarter to quarter.Look for value stocks all brokers will have a system in place to evaluate stocks. Start out slow and do your research before investing money. You will find that your profits will be much better for it.When you select a stock look for excellence in share price and return on your investment.

USD/JPY has bounced back with gains on Tuesday
USD/JPY has bounced back with gains on Tuesday, following losses on the Monday session. Currently, the pair is trading at 102.30. On the release front, Japanese BSI Manufacturing Index improved to 2.9 points, crushing the estimate of -6.5 points. It’s another quiet day in the US, with no major releases on the schedule.
Japanese manufacturing indicators continue to impress this week. On Monday, BSI Manufacturing Index broke a nasty streak of two sharp declines. This reading comes on the heels of Core Machinery Orders, which jumped 4.9%, well above expectations. Preliminary Machine Tool Orders declined 8.4%, but this was markedly better than the previous reading of -19.6%. The Bank of Japan will release a monetary statement next Wednesday, just a day before the Fed releases its statement. The bank cut rates into negative territory earlier in the year, but has had little success in coaxing inflation to higher levels. Will the BoJ adopt further easing measures? If the bank does take action, deeper rate cuts or expanding the asset-purchase scheme (or some combination) are the most likely routes. In addition to its standard rate announcement, the BoJ has said it will also conduct a “comprehensive review” of its policy at the September meeting. What this entails is not clear, as the BoJ has not conducted such a review in the past.
USD/JPY posted slight losses in the Asian session and then recovered. The pair continues to post gains in European trade
