Comparison of foreign exchange and other investment products,
We are more familiar with real estate, bonds, stocks, futures, and the stock market in 2008. It did bring a great blow to many investors. In the case of the stock fund downturn in 2008, the foreign exchange futures varieties that can be traded in both directions have been recognized by most investors. Here I will list the more familiar ones. Comparison of investment products for everyone to learn.
1. Real estate is a 50% to 100% profit-making method of capital, and it can only be used for value preservation, and the capital is difficult to evaluate. Once it is locked in and seeks a buyer, the policy intervention is large.
2. Funds required by the fund are 100% profitable, profitable when rising, and loss when falling, capital risk is linked to the scale of fund types, the level of fund managers, and market investment options. The trading time is regulated by the variety, and the degree of control is subject to the investment market. Great influence, great policy intervention
3. 100% of the capital required for the stock, the profit method is to make a profit when it rises, and it is locked in a fall. The capital risk is subject to human manipulation, the risk is high, the transaction time is four hours, and the policy intervention is large.
4. The capital required in the futures market is about 10%, two-way trading, rapid return rate, medium risk, time limit, and high control of some varieties
5. For foreign exchange margin trading, 1% of the capital required, two-way trading, with small gains, rapid returns, controllable risks, and 24 hours of trading time. There is no dealer intervention for transactions of more than US$5 trillion per day.
