A lot of people have very negative views about money making opportunities due to the current mood of depressed feeling about the economy.

In today’s unstable economic climate, the serious downturn in the economy and predictions by top-ranking economists of a serious recession, is it still possible to make money on stock exchange
and forex market?

Is buying stocks and shares at the present time, when there is so much financial uncertainly, nothing more than a speculative gamble?
These are questions bothering a great many investors.

One regularly sees attractive, appealing and seriously tempting advertisements in the financial section of newspapers and on the internet, promising exceptional gains by investing either in stocks or shares, or on the forex currency market.

Most of these advertisements focus on financial advisory services that make use of computer programs - or what are known as “robots” - able to identify investment opportunities.

These computer programs, some websites claim, will make it possible for you to make exceptional gains in a short period. In many instances there are promises of even doubling your money.

In order to validate the claims, examples are given of shares that have doubled and even tripled in value.

Many of these examples referred to, where shares have soared in value, are what are commonly known as “penny stocks”. These are very low priced, stocks, with a history of great volatility. They are very high risk stocks shares with an erratic history of earnings that often sell for less than $5.00 or $10.

If one examines the history of certain “penny stocks” over a period, one will find that many “penny Stocks” have in fact doubled and tripled. Certainly some lucky investors have earned huge sums of money through investing judiciously and shrewdly in certain very low priced stocks.

The secret in investing on the stock exchange has always been timing and the ability to predict which stocks are likely to rise.

With low-value “penny stocks”, because of their extremely low selling price, the increases in value could be quite spectacular.

Predicting which “penny stock” is not a matter of guesswork, a “gut-feeling” or a hunch. It involves a scientific, mathematical analysis of a vast range of factors and facts.

This analysis involves an examination of such factors as the detailed study about the company itself, what it produces and markets, the structure of management, past sales figure and future potential for the product or service it offers.

Far more important, however, is the analysis of a variety of factors such as recurrent trends in price movements. This is a more complicated field and is the essence of what is known as chartist theory.

Factors like these can be analyzed best by sophisticated computers.

Examining the chart pattern of a particular share, for example, reveals important factors such as recurrent volumes, drops in price, then rebounds, then further drops to the same low price. This is an important indicator that the share has support at this low price.

Few investors have the expertise to be full conversant with the intricacies of chart analysis

To answer the question: “Is it still possible to make money on the stock exchange even in today’s difficult economic conditions?” Yes, it definitely is. It can be done by investing shrewdly in the stock exchange, where some companies, particularly new companies with innovative, foresight and vision, are able to identify gaps in the market.

Money can certainly also be made in the forex market, where currencies at the moment are particularly volatile.

Forex currency investment, which involves assessing which currency is likely to rise or fall and is dependent on a huge variety of factors, requires a similar chartists approach to achieve success

To achieve success and make money it is of enormous help to make use of the services of skilled specialists, who have access to powerful, sophisticated computers and excellent software programs, able to analyze an enormous range of factors in seconds.

There is definitely money to be made in the Stock Exchange and also the Forex currency market, even in today’s economic conditions. There are a number of excellent share advisory services that can assist you making the correct investment decisions.
