If eToro is scam, why people keep coming back to eToro? Why eToro is growing? Their OpenBook is really open

Online forex trading involves a risk and uncertainty but with eToro you’re trading experience becomes simple, quick and most of all, secure. While choosing your forex platform providers and brokers, you should be extremely cautious and should consider all possible risks before zeroing in on one. Forex trading is done with the help of a broker and a company with a license to place trades in the currency markets. Among so many online forex brokers, eToro is the most famous and the most popular broker in online forex trading market.

May people says “eToro is a fake” or that “eToro is a scam.” All of these people, one way or the other, have lost money on eToro. Is this eToro’s fault? Of course not. They have let their greed get the best of them. They have not followed any strategies. All of them wanted to be rich overnight. That really doesn’t work. It is not that magical. Forex is not that magical.

eToro is definitely not a scam. I have been trading with them for a while now. Everything about them is very comparable with anyone out there offering forex trading options. You should carefully weigh their pros and cons against your particular trading style. The trading conditions they offer are great for certain types of traders and for certain market conditions. They are better suited to longer-term novice traders in a bear market than say, an experienced scalper. Their platform is excellent & they are proven to a be an easy broker to work with.

If eToro was scam then why are they growing so fast? eToro, the fastest growing online financial trading company, has announced the launch of a new social trading network called, OpenBook. eToro OpenBook enables users to view, share, and even copy their chosen trader’s moves in real-time. By enabling traders to follow and interact with each other, OpenBook breaks barriers between traders, accelerates knowledge sharing and shortens the learning curve for users that want to bring their trading experience to the next level.

eToro’s OpenBook opens up financial trading to all levels of expertise. Beginners can ride on the success of the experts by talking to other traders and following their activity, while seasoned traders will benefit by attracting followers and by being recognized as gurus. In addition, now that eToro makes all trades transparent to everyone, people can choose to follow those traders that have similar personal profiles and trading styles.

I give eToro A+ on making forex trading so simple and easy.

Update from 2010:

I have been trading on forex for over 6 years now. I thought I would share some of the resources I have used to make stead profits in

Forex.

Gun-Toting 12-Year-Old in Toronto

Recently in Toronto, a 12-year-old boy was arrested on charges of gun possession. Yes, 12 years old, and yes, gun possession. The best part of the story, however, is that this is not this youth’s first time being charged with this. This youth already had charges against him stemming from earlier incidents of gun possession, and was already on probation.

Are you kidding me? The story informed readers that it wasn’t even just one previous charge; it was previous charges, as in more than one incident. At 12 years old, this person already has a sheet, a history with the local police, and apparently a thing for weapons.

Please, oh please, be gentle with him; he doesn’t know any better! He’s only 12! Don’t put him in jail! Don’t ruin his life! He needs to be at home, where the responsible adults are! He needs a chance to grow up and turn his life around!

Give me a break, bleeding hearts. This isn’t a kid who made one mistake, one time. This is a person who is making the same mistake, multiple times over. This is a person who was arrested riding his bike through a residential neighbourhood, armed with a gun. A loaded gun, in fact. This is a person who is known to the police for incidents related to gun possession, assault, and robbery. The fact that he’s 12 is irrelevant.

When are we going to learn? When are we Canadians going to actually realize that 12-year-olds  are old enough to know the difference between right and wrong? When are we Canadians going to demand a justice system that looks out for the rights of the innocents, as opposed to the rights of the guilty? Why do we all have to watch our backs for flying bullets, while those pulling the triggers walk free?

Canada is a criminal’s heaven, where they get multiple chances to break the law and endanger the law-abiding citizens, for fear of permanently scarring their psyches or cutting them off from the chance to make something of themselves. God forbid! God forbid we punish someone for doing the wrong thing!

If this 12-year-old is out running the streets with loaded weapons, clearly home is not the place for him to be. It’s quite obvious that whoever is supposed to responsible for him (Mom? Dad? Aunts? Uncles?) isn’t capable of doing so. It’s also quite clear that this criminal (for yes, that is what he is, whether he is 12 or 35) has not learned from his past mistakes, for he is still out on our streets, lauging in the face of the law.

This is not a kid caught spray-painting an overpass or throwing rocks through a window. This is not about a youth needing a chance to redirect his energy and fill is free time. This is a person, armed and potentially dangerous, over and over breaking the law. The last thing he needs is another chance. The first thing he need is a swift kick in the ass, followed by some time behind bars, and yes, a mark on his permanent record. He made his bed, let him lie in it; far from the comforts of home, and out of our backyards.

Mel Gibson: Actor, Celebrity, Racist/Misogynistic Maniac

Mel Gibson has made a fortune playing angry, emotionally unbalanced characters (see Lethal Weapon, The Man Without a Face, Payback, Conspiracy Theory, etc) and now it seems he may be one in real life. Method Acting?

Taped telephone calls between baby mama Oksana Grigorieva and (allegedly – I’m only writing that once, folks…) Mel Gibson demonstrate Gibson as a misogynistic, racist, violent, warped individual who may or may not eventually kill her. Hyperbole? Not so much – direct quote from one conversation: “I’ll put you in a f***ing rose garden.” Crystal clear.

What happened to Mel? I will admit, I was a die-hard fan. At one time I owned all his films, with Braveheart being my favourite of all-time. We all know he hit a rough patch a few years ago, after his long-controlled drinking problem reared its ugly head. We saw the photos, read the eye-witness account, and all remember where we were the first time we heard the phrase, “Sugartits.” He fell off the wagon, clearly; driving recklessly, sexually harassing female police officers, and ranting about Jews … not a pretty picture. He admitted he had a problem, stepped out of the limelight for a while, and a few snickers here and there aside, it went away.

 Now, here we are, again – only this time, it’s worse. We already knew he was an alcoholic, but who knew he was also violent and sadistic? Anyone who has heard the tapes (I’ve heard all that have been released so far) has heard vile, disgusting, unbelievable things come out of this man’s mouth. Some excerpts:

  • “You look like a f***ing b**** in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n*****s it’ll be your fault, ok?”
  • “Shut the f*** up! You should just f***ing smile and blow me because I deserve it!”
  • “I don’t need medication! You need a f***ing bat to the side of the head, alright? How about that?”
  • “I’ll put you in a f***ing rose garden you c***. You understand that? Because I’m capable of it.”
  • “Go look after my child, you c*** whore. I hope she doesn’t end up like you.”
  • “What are you talking about you f***ing ignorant b****? I don’t understand you. You’re saying stupid s***.”
  • “I need a woman, not a f***ing little girl with a f***ing dysfunctional c***.”

Context, schmontext. I heard all the released tapes, and if you haven’t, let me reassure you: they are mainly him just screaming like a lunatic, rambling on and on, and breathing heavily like a perv. One does not need to be a psychiatrist to see that Mel Gibson is not only a jerk and a racist, but also a misogynist who may or may not be completely deranged.

Of course their relationship had problems. I’m sure some of the problems were caused by Oksana – after all, she’s human. I also have a sneaking suspicion she might be something of a gold digger. Even if that’s true – even if she trapped him by having his child (and I don’t know if she did, it’s just an idea), his comments to her are so far out of line she’s probably sleeping with one eye open.

The world (more or less) forgave Mel the last time he went on a tangent, but I have a feeling this time he’ll be on his own. And of course, should anything unfortunately happen to Oksana now, we all know who would be the prime suspect.

Why am I writing about this? A few reasons: Appearances are deceiving. Simply because a couple seems happy (as suggested by earlier interviews/photos) doesn’t mean they are. Simply because a person doesn’t seem capable of extreme anger and/or violence, doesn’t mean they aren’t. Celebrities should not be treated any different than the regular folks – for the words alone, he deserves to be locked up. (Last time I checked, uttering death threats is against the law!) For the sake of the child, who of course is the most innocent player in this unfortunate drama, Mel Gibson needs help – serious, actual help.

Oksana, run for your life. And the life of your child.
