You can double your money!!! It all depends on how long you are looking to invest the money. It's hard to do it overnight.
You can make 100x the money or lose 100% of your money. If you're asking this, likely you'll lose all by being greedy. common mistake traders make.
5000 USD you will loose 5000 USD you will gain no loss no profit if you start with no-brains in trading
Forex: You will probably lose it all Share market: If you are moderately lucky you will earn a little more than a term deposit at a bank.
I have also say that, 5000 USD you will loose 5000 USD you will gain no loss no profit if you start with no-brains in trading .
You will most probably lose your money unless you are an experienced banker.Most forex stuff is just get rich quick schemes.
With that amount of money, your better off letting a professional decide....unless "10 Grand ain't sh** to me" (old Randy Moss ref for you) Do you know what a Limit Order is? Stop Loss, Strike Price, Float, EPS, Leverage, ETF's & CEF's. Do you know how to read a corporate balance sheet? Do you know how to read a cash-flow statement?.....if you don't...you probably will be blowing that 10K
Your potential gain is unlimited but you can lose it all too. Nothing is guaranteed when dealing with stocks or forex.
Please do not be fooled into thinking that you will make money with FOREX. Forex is a zero-sum market, the only people who really make money are the forex brokers, introducing brokers, big banks and forex trading system sellers. Just go and research how much forex brokers pay for their adverts about "how much money you can making by trading forex" and then think about where the money comes from for paying for these adverts! Yep, you guessed it right, from you, the retail trader! And if these forex brokers are willing to pay so much for advertising, just think about how much money they are making....
