Trading Dreams

I woke up last Sunday morning with dreams about Forex trading – learning about it, getting good at it, going into it, and then later earning lots of money from it.  Yeah, you read it right, Forex. I know the topic is significantly way off from my prior posts but that’s just how my dreams are cropping up lately.

Well, what started it all was the unplanned pot luck with the neighbors just because it was supposedly the subdivision’s fiesta. I was in the middle of dinner when a neighbor knocked at my door and invited me join them outside, in a table full of contributed food and drinks. Caught in a good mood, I went out and brought with me my still-hot-from-the-pan Carbonara dish.

To make the story short, the guys were already drinking when one (American) asked about Forex. His question was met with silence as his drinking buddies, all Cebuanos, hate conversing in English especially when it’s not about food. So just to be polite, I answered, “You mean foreign exchange?” And then he went to discuss animatedly about Forex trading and his experience. He got my interest so I kept throwing questions. Maybe because I was asking the right questions that he insisted that I should learn more about Forex and that I should meet him and another guy neighbor so he could show us how the platform looks and all.

And just like that, I and Alex showed up at his place the day after. We were shown some intimidating graphs like this: 

 

My first reaction was, “Oh no not those boring graphs!” 

But when he slowly explained, it was just like learning a new software at work.  He gave me sites to look up and so now I’m going through lessons (free!) in an online school. I can't believe learning about Forex is fun! I hope the site doesn’t sell me anything later but so far I’m enjoying it.  I’m still in pre-school level for now so there’s nothing more I can share. 

Wish me luck!

Oh, by the way, my Carbonara dish was a hit at that mini party. :-)
