currency futures have no swap. in london session and new york session the spread can get to 1 pip. the commision with interactive brokers is 33 cents per micro contract (you make 1.25$ per euro pip, and 1$ per cad pip). so spread plus commision is 1.33 pip.

the drawback of currency futures is that the CME (futures exchange) closes between 4pm and 5pm central time. any movement in that time frame will be missed.

I bought a bunch of ADP stock in 2008 or so for $35, now it's worth more than double. I worked there as a senior treasury analyst until they sold my job out to Bangalore in India.
I bought Citi stock for $1 and BoA stock for $4 per share a few years back.

I guess that was a smart thing to do.

I think that's all too complicated for me.
I like it easy and lazy and that's what I find in forex.

any one investing 100k in citi stock at that time would have almost 5 million now. but who knows citi would be too big to fail at that time?

It was a gamble that gave me many sleepless nights, especially when they where talking about breaking it in half or letting it go bankrupt.
But fortunately I came out as a winner.

I still have sleepless nights though, but that's only because at midnight here the London market opens.

And yes I'm still holding, actually I added bank stocks like Wells Fargo at a recommendation from the master, the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffet.
I also bought Google stock in 2008 for $300, now it trades above $800.

Too bad I didn't buy Apple. I never wanted anything of that company because I thought they only made weird computers.

Now I have an I-phone myself and just realized that when I'm driving I have 3 GPS devices in my car.

1 regular GPS (Garmin Nuvi)
1 in my radar and red light control device (Escort)
and
1 in my I-phone.

I've never understood how anyone can live in Chicago.
I was there 1 day far back and in summertime and even then I didn't like it.
The only thing I liked back there was swimming in Lake Michigan out of a a little city named Holland.
I was born in Holland, not that city in Michigan, but in Europe, in Amsterdam, where the pot and the hookers are legal and cheap.

Now I live in San Diego, the pot is still cheap because it's real easy here to get medical marijuana, only the escort girls are a little bit more expensive.
Like $400 per hour and up. But forex takes care of that.

i like east coast and west coast, and probably will move to one a few years later. Boston and New York are nice. San Francisco and San Diego also nice.
