Wedding is certainly the most memorable event in one’s lifetime. Almost every couple wants their wedding to be a perfect one in every respect. Planning every aspect of the wedding before hand can be really helpful for appropriate arrangements and proper management of money.

The invitations of the wedding are considered to be the most essential of the wedding preparations and could account for a sizable portion of the wedding budget.

The DIY wedding invitations could be a plausible way to counter the extra cost burden on the wedding invitations while letting you customize a unique invitation for your wedding.

Wedding Invitations Vegas Style

Las Vegas wedding invitations are in vogue these days. They are not only beautiful and trendy but also require incredibly low cost and reasonable time for their preparation.

Preparing these cards is extremely simple and fun and it may roughly take 10 to 20 min in completing a single card. You will only require the following easily on hand items for making the exquisite invitations:

Materials Required:

Double-sided Mulberry paper
Ornamental vellum
Ace of Hearts rubber stamp
Glue runner or glue stick
Ribbon (color of your choice)

Getting Started!

Step 1:

The Mulberry paper can easily be obtained from any arts and crafts shop. The selection of color should be according to the wedding theme; however, red is recommended if no particular color theme has been decided.

In case the required paper color is not available from these stores, you can always order online through www.paper.com. Each sheet usually comes in 12″ x 12″ size so divide it into 2 equal halves to make two cards per sheet.

Step 2:

After dividing the paper sheet into equal halves of 6″x6″ deckle the edges of the paper. This can be done by placing a foot ruler almost ¼” in from the edge and wetting these exposed edges with water.

This will make them softer and will be easier to tear off without damaging rest of the paper. If you find it difficult to do, you can simply skip this step and use straight edges; however, deckled edges give a more classy appearance to the invitation.

Step 3:

Next, fold the edges of the paper sheet in towards the center from both sides. One edge must overlap the other in the center by ¼”. Now fold the outer edges downwards. This indentation will help you identify where to score the paper.

Rubber stamps of different playing card decorations are available at stationary stores. The stamp is by Inkadinkadoo. Different playing card stamps can be used on different cards to have a variety of samples.

Step 4:

Draw gridlines at the back of the Mulberry paper of approximately 2 ¼” x3″ dimension and cut along these lines to get rectangular pieces of paper using the technique employed to deckle the edges earlier on. You can now use these rectangular pieces to stamp the image on.

You should use good quality ink while stamping the image on the paper. After stamping, the rectangular piece needs to be pasted on the front of the card. In order to do this you can choose either of the two folded edges on the front. Simply apply the glue on one of the edges and paste the rectangular piece in way that it lies exactly in the center of the card, half of it being on the edge on which it is pasted.

You can use the ornamental vellum to print the text for the invitation as Mulberry paper is not a good choice for that matter. You may choose the dimensions of vellum according to the length of your text. After printing simply apply glue to the top backside of the vellum and attach it centrally inside the card.

Your Wedding Invitation is ready!

In the end, you can simply add a satin ribbon and tie it in bow on the outside of the card.

British Postage Stamps

Not since the death in 1995 of Her Royal Highness Sangwal Talapad, known affectionately to the Thai people as Somdeth Ya – the Royal Grandmother – has something so deeply affected the Thai people as the death earlier this year of Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana.

Born a commoner, the daughter of a poor goldsmith, HRH Sangwal Talapad was orphaned when she was eight years old. At 20 she married a royal prince and gave birth to two sons who became kings.

It’s not surprising that in the 100 days of mourning following her death more than 2.3 million Thai citizens visited the Thai Grand Palace to pay their respects.

It’s doubtful if the people of any other nation hold their royal family in such high esteem and respect as the people of Thailand.

When news of the death of Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, Princess of Narathiwat, was announced on January 2nd this year, the nation as a whole was immediately plunged into mourning.

Political and religious differences were put aside and the nation as one “from the beer bars of tourist hot spots such as Pattaya and Koh Samui to the conservative Northern cities of Lamphun and Lampang” took on a somber and muted feeling at the passing of the the royal often referred to as “Princess Mother”.

Government employees and officials nationwide wore black for 100 days, while ordinary Thai people did the same for a minimum of 15 days.

The country’s television stations all broke with scheduled programming and news readers and program hosts all wore black.

Throughout the days following her death Thai television stations broadcast archival footage celebrating the life and work of this loved and respected member of the Thai royal family.

While the death of the 84-year-old princess, elder sister to Thailand’s ruling monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, was not unexpected, the Thai population had lived in hope and prayed for her recovery.

For seven months the princess stoically battled abdominal cancer, but not even ongoing and aggressive medical treatment could prevent her from occasionally leaving her hospital bed to undertake duties she deemed important.

When it was reported that she had suffered a stroke in October 2007 the nation as one prayed for her recovery, with large segments of the population adopting the clothing colors worn by the king on his daily visits.

Born in London, England on May 6, 1923, Princess Galyani was elevated to Royal Highness after her brother, King Bhumibol Adulyadej ascended the throne in 1946.

Her many charitable works with children, education, public health, rural schools and the poor, earned her immense respect from the Thai people.

She wrote many books, including a best-seller about the Thai King and his older brother.

She also produced videos about her overseas trips and had a great desire to raise the education levels of Thai people above those of other countries.

Her thoughts were that videos were a wonderful way to do so and the videos she produced are still often shown on Thai television.

In the first six days after her death more than 118,000 people thronged the Grand Palace to sign the condolences book. In every province throughout Thailand ordinary Thai’s queued to do the same thing.

The funeral of the late princess will take place between November 14th and 19th at Sanam Luang Park in Bangkok, with a budget of Bt300 million (about $US8.8 million) being set aside for the ceremony.

The first four days of the ceremony are associated with the cremation, while the latter two with the collection and entombment of the ashes and royal relics.

There will be six grand processions for the four days of the cremation (November 15, 16, 18, and 19) ceremony involving 3,294 soldiers and the three royal chariots: Phra Maha Pichai Ratcharot , or Great Victory Chariot, Phra Wetchayanta Ratcharot and Phra Ratcharot Noi , or Little Charriot.

These magnificent 200-year-old chariots have undergone a full restoration since the death of the princess by a team of Thai artisans skilled in traditional construction techniques.

Two royal palanquins, a type of wheel-less sedan chair known in Thai as Phra Yannamas, and carried by human bearers will also be used.

The Phra Maha Phichai Ratcharot is 11.2 meters tall and 15.3 meters long. It was built in the reign of King Rama I in the Rattanakosin period, in 1795.

The Wetchayanta chariot is 11.7 meters tall, 17.5 meters long, weighs 40 tonnes and requires 206 men – 160 in front and 46 at the rear – to draw it.

It was also built in the reign of King Rama I, in 1799, for use to carry the remains of high-ranking members of the royal family to the Sanam Luang ground.

The first three processions will take place on Saturday, November 15 when the royal urn, or Kosa in Thai, which has been crafted from three aromatic sandalwood trees, aged 142, 118, and 111 years will be escorted from the Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall by 662 soldiers to the Phra Maha Phichai Ratcharot at Wat Phra Chetuphon (Wat Pho).

The second procession will move the royal urn on Phra Maha Phichai Ratcharot to the royal crematorium at the Sanam Luang ceremonial site.

Escorted by 1,114 soldiers, it will proceed along Sanam Chai Road, pass Ratchadamnoen Nai Road, and finally turn left to the central road that crosses Sanam Luang.

The third procession, comprising 376 solders, will carry the royal urn by Phra Yannamas Sam Lamkhan to circle counter-clockwise three times around the royal crematorium. Then the royal urn will be moved back to the royal crematorium.

The cremation will then take place on a pyre of traditional Thai style with a design commonly seen in traditional palaces and castles.

A main aspect of the pyre, which has taken 200 highly skilled artisans from the Thai Fine Arts Department more than seven months to construct, is that it has seven levels of Sawettachattra, symbolic of royal umbrellas used to protect members of the royal family.

The seven-tier umbrella also signifies the Buddhist factors of enlightenment: awareness, wisdom, effort, delight, tranquility, concentration, and upekkha or neutral thinking.

Though traditionally made of wood, the pyre for the princess will be constructed with a steel frame and covered in wooden paneling to ensure stronger construction.

By tradition the royal pyre must be removed from Sanam Luang the day after the cremation to prevent bad luck. The royal pyre of the late Princess Mother was later used for a building at Patumwanaram temple — the nearest temple to Sraprathum palace

The fourth procession, consisting of 822 soldiers, will take place on Sunday, November 16, when the ashes are collected.

It will transfer the royal urn containing the royal relics and ashes from the royal crematorium to the Grand Palace.

The royal relic urn will be placed upon Phra Thinang Rajendhrayan, a royal palanquin, and the royal ashes placed on Phra Wor Siwigagarn, a covered palanquin with two carrying poles.

The fifth procession on Tuesday, November 18, will be joined by 329 soldiers and transfer the royal relics and ashes by PhraThinang Rajendhrayan from Dusit Maha Prasat Throne Hall to Chakri Maha Prasat Throne Hall, within the Grand Palace compound.

The sixth procession will take place on Wednesday, November 19, when the royal ashes will be transferred from Phra Si Rattana Chedi, a stupa in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, to be placed in a stupa at Wat Ratchabophit Sathitmahasimaram in Bangkok

A full-dress rehearsal for the royal cremation is scheduled for Sunday, November 2nd, with 2,500 soldiers participating.

For the first three days of the cremation ceremony Thai people will wear mourning black, while entertainment venues throughout the country have been requested to stop their programs, or reduce them in line with the somber occasion.

While the Thai royal cremation is not being promoted as a tourist event, the pomp, ceremony and pageantry associated with the occasion are sure to make the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, 11 years ago pale into insignificance.

The Committee on the Organizing of the Royal Cremation Ceremony is expecting hundreds of thousands of Thai’s to join in the cremation ceremony and have made special arrangements for the installation of large television sets at Sanam Luang for people to view the proceedings.

In addition, relief centers will be established near Sanam Luang and Ratchadamnoen Klang Avenue to provide food, drinking water, toilets, and first aid to those joining the ceremony.

In recognition of her contribution to Thai society, Thailand Post will issue a series of commemorative stamps, scheduled to go on sale before the ceremony of lighting the funeral pyre begins, showing the pictures of the Princess.

The Thai Treasury Department is also producing three commemorative coins to mark the royal cremation.

The first coin will be a 15-gram gold coin 26 millimeters in diameter, with a value of Bt25,000 (about $US735). The second, a 15-gram silver coin 30 millimeters in diameter, is priced at Bt1,000 (about $US29), while the third will be a 13-gram copper coin 30 millimeter in diameter, worth Bt50 (about $US1.47).

For Thai’s, the death of Princess Galyani is a wakeup call that their revered royal family is aging. The king has had some serious health issues recently and late in 2007 had a stroke and was hospitalized for several weeks.

At the time the king and his sister were in the same hospital in Bangkok and thousands of people sat outside holding photographs of the king and princess, and burning incense to pray for their good health.

While the loss of a revered member of the Thai royal family such as Princess Galyani has deeply saddened many Thai’s, the death of their beloved king, who at age 81 is the world’s longest-serving current head of state and the longest-serving monarch in Thai history, is something most Thai’s would care not to contemplate.

Valuable Stamps

Forty-seven cameras filming every move. Seventy-six microphones picking up every sound. Two stories of very tacky interior decorating that would make David Arquette scream “that’s too much color!” Yes, Big Brother is back on CBS and that can only mean one thing. The summer television season just got better. And Leslie Moonves finally can get some peace and quiet around the house. It’s no fun being married to a woman who has a deeper voice than you do, is it Les? Fourteen people whose names will be completely forgotten by everyone in America by the end of August have descended upon the new Big Brother house built specifically for this show. Until they move out and Julie can use it for her shoe closet. Hey, this hosting gig pays very well. These 14 will be devoid of any outside contact with the world. Except for talking with Julie Chen. Which is pretty much the bane existence of Les Moonves, but no one just gives him a half million dollars. Though they should. This year, the prize could escalate into one million dollars, assuming they can help Dr. Evil build a new unnecessarily slow-moving dipping device that leads to a pack of ill-tempered sharks. As with past years, the producers have come up with a new and shocking secret. Okay, it’s not that new, since W. Mark Felt told Vanity Fair about it in this month’s Vanity Fair. And it’s not exactly shocking. Not when compared to the human meltdown that is Tom Cruise. But this is CBS, after all. The last time they had good television to watch, Stacey Keach was actually an employable actor. Each houseguest has a friend or family member joining them, but those sly producers have promised them that THEY are the only two with such an advantage. Did you notice my all-caps emphasis? Subtle, huh? But don’t let that mean you can ignore my Mike Hammer joke. ‘Cuz that took me like five whole seconds to come up with. Back to the show. If the final two housemates are one of the original pairs, the winner gets one million dollars. And that’s no lie. At least according to the CBS producers. Who are lying to the stars of the show. But I’m sure they’ll pay up. After a rather disturbing montage of the house guests receiving their keys to come to the Big Brother show, in which it becomes apparent that the keys will make no impact whatsoever in the budget of this show, the fourteen are introduced and walk to the front steps of the house, each carrying what appears to be two-hundred pound duffel bags. Wow, that sentence made as much sense as the casting director of Ishtar ever getting a job in Hollywood again. First up is Ashlea, a student from Florida with the skin cancer to prove it. No word on what she plans on doing with that really annoying ‘a’ on the end of her name. Howie is a weatherman from Chicago, which apparently involves predicting strong winds for nine months of the year, and burning hot sun for the other three. How hard can that job be? It’s almost as brain-numbingly easy as writing recaps at midnight for reality shows on a website no one ever visits. James is nearly thirty and is a loss-prevention manager. I didn’t even know that was a real job. Neither did James’ parents. Jennifer is an Arena Football League dancer and cheerleader and is also my next obsession. That Kim Zimmer thing back in the 80s never really worked out. Of course, neither do I, which explains why I’m watching the guys on Beauty & the Geek and marvelling at their way with the ladies. April is a bubbly blonde who is one of the few married people on this show. It would be tasteless for me to say anything. Plus, her husband my be able to find me by using the Whois search. Kaysar is a practicing Muslim who, when not plotting with Harold a way to get his hands on some White Castle burgers, seems to be a nice guy. Beau is black, gay and spells his name in a really weird way. He’s a personal shopper. I have no idea if he was gay before becoming a personal shopper, or if that came after. Anyway, Julia Duffy has more masculinity. Maggie is an emergency room nurse who seems to have quite the sense of humor. Really, that’s all I’ve got on her. Sorry. Rachel is a horse breeder from Colorado who appears to be six feet tall. She also is an avid Broncos fan, so she’s okay in my book. Except that I’m not actually writing a book. But if I were, she’d be in it. Bringing up the rear is Sarah, a 22-year old sales manager, which means she’s further ahead in her career at 22 than I am at 32. When I was 22, I was in charge of eating Fritos while watching Jerry Springer on a futon in my parents garage. But to each their own, Sarah. Ivette is a waitress from Florida, where luckily she works so hard during the day that she is yet to be afflicted with skin cancer. Yeay, Ivette! Something to look forward to, I guess. Eric is a muscular, bald firefighter. He’s like me, except that he’s a muscular, bald firefighter. Michael is the next to last housemate. Michael is an artist from California. Janelle is another waitress and is also from Florida. So basically, CBS spent about fifty bucks on casting agents covering three whole states. So there’s this year cast of characters. Julie sends them into the house in three groups, and watches with glee as they all scurry around like rats. It’s just like this in the CBS newsroom when she snaps her fingers for coffees and bagels. Very quickly, they all discover that they will all be sharing the same massive bedroom. With only ten beds. Fireman Eric quickly does the math and figures that there’s five sleeping bags left over. Hey, the man has 20″ biceps. If he thinks 10 + 4 equals 15, then who am I to disagree? Champagne flows as the housemates get to know each other over some bubbly. They each go around introducing themselves and there doesn’t seem to be a jerk in the group. At least yet. Except for James, who lies about being a teacher because it sounds good. It sounds better than saying you’re a loss prevention manager. Recap writer sounds better than saying you’re a loss prevention manager. Host of Fear Factor sounds better than saying you’re a loss prevention manager. Curling iron administrator for Weird Al Yankovic sounds better than saying you’re a loss prevention manager. But that’s just my opinion. Before long, Julie startles them when she interrupts the gang on the plasma screen. Now imagine her with no makeup and you begin to get a sense of why Les Moonves looks so sad all the time. She points their attention to the colorful kitchen, where the only food to be found in peanut butter and jelly. Today will be the first food competition of the season. She gets them all to dress down to their swimsuits and to go to the backyard. The guys on this show are all buff, the girls are all hot and my jokes have become annoying to everyone except my grandmother. Outside in what appears to be the back yard of Mark Burnette, a pool of green water awaits the housemates. This is what happens when you let Charlie Sheen host a party on the Big Brother lot, people! In the pool are two giant-sized surfboard. Julie divides the groups into seven and instructs them on the rules: Balance all seven members on the surfboard. Shoot coconuts into the mouth of The Big Kahuna. And never ever discuss Fight Club. Howie will do the shooting for the blue team. Kaysar takes the shots for the orange team. Because the sports world is full of sharpshooting Muslims. I’m not even going there, folks. I’m not even going there. Howie begins downing shots like Paris Hilton at the Viper Room, while Kaysar hasn’t made one yet, despite his proclamation of being a basketball star. Of course, Al Bundy once scored five touchdowns for Polk High and all he ended up with was Peg and some annoying little child actor brought in to save them when they jumped the shark. Eric the firefighter replaces his Muslim teammate, but the results are the same. Which aren’t good. On a positive note, the Clippers front-office wants to sign them both to multi-year contracts when this show ends. You saw that joke coming a mile away didn’t you? By the end of the trouncing, the blue team wins 21-7. But that’s not the end of the fun, boys and girls. It’s now time to have a competition for the all-important Head of Household, which is a title that Julie Chen has been proudly wearing for quite some time now. This competition involves the seven winning members of the orange team and is simple enough that even Matt Lauer could understand: The person who stands on the surfboard the longest wins. Inside, the other seven talk in pairs of two about the nights events. Ashlea and Ivette are both worried that the winning seven are already forming an alliance, Kaysar is concerned that Donald Rumsfeld is going to insist that he be kicked off the show simply because he’s an Iraqi and Beau is concerned that his ensemble won’t be out of the washer before breakfast tomorrow. Outside on the surfboard (there’s a phrase I never thought I’d write) James gets a cramp and voluntarily jumps off, as do the other girls with the exception of Rachel the Broncos fan, leaving her and Howie to fight for the reward of being Head of Household. Howie jumps off and Rachel wins. Much later, Kaysar is upstairs and finds the place to perform his prayer ritual, which Ashlea finds interesting. A deep conversation seems to be brewing between the two when…SCREECH! No important dialogue allowed around her guys! This is CBS! So Rachel comes bouncing in and wants to show everyone her Head of Household bedroom, which appears to be twice as big as my house for some reason. A private bathroom seems to catch everyone’s eye and all agree it’s the nicest fanciest room they’ve ever seen. Julie Chen thinks it’s a cute little space for her figurines. As most head out, Rachel keeps a few of her teammates from the night before to help her decide who to nominate for eviction. Meanwhile, romance seems to be blooming as Jennifer thinks James is cute. And Jennifer thinks Michael is hot. And Jennifer thinks Eric is hot. And Jennifer thinks Howie is hot. And Jennifer thinks Tom Cruise is hot. Tom Cruise thinks Matt Lauer is glib. Matt, Matt, Matt. You don’t understand the history of reality television strategy. He does. Downstairs, new alliances seem to be forming under hushed tones and whispering voices. Kaysar and Eric seem to be making a pact, as do Rachel and Maggie. It’s really hard to hear, but luckily CBS supplies subtitles. Unfortunately, my foot rest on my recliner is in the way, so I’m only guessing at what was being said. James visits Rachel in her La Cosa Nostra-like room, after paying his respects to Guido, the door bodyguard outside. He inexplicably wants Jennifer out, even though she thinks he’s hot. I want them to speak up so I will actually be certain as to what is going on. Beau just wants everyone to sing Karma Chameleon at the Karaoke Machine downstairs. Julie is back, and so is a new outfit, her fourth tonight. Rachel is ready to make her decision after a gut wrenching two-minutes of deliberations, and does so. She gathers the gang around the table and pulls out the first key announcing who is safe. By the end, everyone is happy except for Ashlea and Kaymar. Rachel tries to convince them that it’s nothing personal. Ashlea is in tears and not just because she’s the only woman in the world named Ashlea. Kaymar doesn’t seem to understand this part of the game, saying it’s just a thrill to be nominated. I think he’s missing the point.

Picture Of Postage Stamp

It might be time for a Penny Ponzi Pyramid Scheme on the Internet. One could promise to pay 100% interest on a penny sent to a paypal account . I once had a mail art project where I got pennies sent to me from all over the world . I got a lot of decorated pennies in the mail including some transformed into collage animals with glued on features. The deal was I had to send a penny back. Postage is way too expensive to mail pennies at the price of mailing an envelope. A think a penny pyramid scheme would be really wonderful If I could get it to work with paypal. I called may mail art project LL Penny’s Pennies from Heaven since most flew in air mail. A lot of people sent me pennies, pennies and more pennies. Paypal ponzi penny pyramid project? If I offered 2 cents for every 1 cent invested allowing for people to deposit only one cent and no more to the project how long would it take me to go broke if I were honest? It would not be proper ponzi pyramiding if I proposed to pretend I was proper. What fun would that be? What ? You have never been played by a ponzi pyramid plunderer? Is there some way I can list that on Ebay? I did sell Lehman Brothers on ebay but am still not aware that I ever got paid. I saw some small town in Pennsylvania was selling the right to name streets in the town on ebay and had plenty of bidders. Why is Portland bothering with Chavez Street when it could put streets names up for sale in a bid crazy world of ebay? Some Idiot could put up an ” advertise here ” ebay auction for the right to put an epitaph on people tomb stones . I can see it now. “Joe Smo 1978-2008 –Coke is the real thing” carved on a granite tomb stone.” It could even have a carved picture of the classic coke bottle.

That would not compare with selling a service generating 100% interest returns on a penny. The problem with most pyramids schemes is they really are not what they are advertised to be, The promoter usually intercepts the puffed up pool of cash long before the final investors have a chance to get their 100% profit. It reminds me of the Bernanke/ Paulson bail out plans where the 700 billion went into banks that immediately stopped lending money as soon as they were solvent again with that new money. That is where I got the idea to sell Lehman brothers. I drew up a certificate and mailed it. i suppose the buyer , who many never have paid me might resell it? I made a big round hole in the certificate with a giant hole punch to demonstrate the value of the underlying assets.

You can’t beat the federal government for running a ponzi scheme with it’s social security promises and no underlying assets….not even Bernie Madoff can compete with a multi-trillion dollar ponzi scheme like that one.

There really needs to be a really good inexpensive ponzi pyramid scheme online anyone can afford to loose a few cents in. I was thinking of creating just such a site but suspect it may be illegal. Here is how it might work: Anyone could send a penny to my special designated ponzi penny paypal account. Every fourth penny contributed would immediately be compensated with two cents back the other two cents would be retained by the site when the site has retained ten dollars in cents it will automatically pay the person paying in 1 cent 2 dollars and retain the 8 dollars for my charity called Ducks for A Bad Cause. If you lived in Portland long enough you might know something about Ducks For A Bad Cause or may even own one of our fund raising ducks? Never mind what it is . It is a charitable bad cause. When the pot is paid out, it starts again automatically. The paypal based site would be blind so that those sending in their cents would not know what number of cents proceeds their contribution. That sounds like a pretty good ponzi scheme whose time has come. I would even be a better scam if the big payout was 10 cents when the pot finally reached 100 bucks paying $99.90 to my private account. Every fourth person would get 2 cents for 1 in this scam and other three would just loose a stupid cent. The really luck person would get ten times their money.

Double Your Money! Oh yeah.

Another great site would be an INTERNET coin flipping site where you could bet on heads or tails with a cent. If it were heads the site would automatically pay you back two cents or give you two additional coin flips. If the coin flip turned out to be tails it would debit your paypal account for an extra cent above your original ante. Roughly, if it were a fair online coin flip, every other flip would offer a 50/50 chance of winning two cents or loosing two cents.

After writing this I finally got around to taking advantage of the free $25 to fund a FXCM micro forex currency trading account on the CNBC trading contest site. I quickly lost most of the 25 dollars having no idea what I was doing . I bet their money on trading buying and selling yen and euro us dollar contracts. I started out OK turning 25 dollars into 32 or 35 and then continually bet wrong . After 4 mini margin calls I ended up with less than $4 in the account and it is too little to trade with so I think I am done with currency trading now? Trying to predict short term market movements in currency exchange is harder than predicting the outcome of flipping a coin even with real time charts ticking in front of you. It is worth trying so long as they are offering free funded accounts of $25 each. It is a great real life link to the real time currency exchange that comes in the download. I sill have $3-$4 in the account an am tempted to try again becuse i did win for a while playing the game but then again probably not. Too bad they just don’t refund the free money they give you so you can try again. Otherwise they do have practice accounts that may not require any cash of any sort to try it.

If the FXCM micro forex currency offer is still available go to cnbc.com and find the million dollar trading contest, Unfortunately it is not a tiny ponzi penny scam but It can be funded for a few dollars for the fun of loosing money and the system is devised such that you get margin calls that wipe you out long before you have to pay in additional funds to cover losses. I do admit that the idea of leverage trading of currencies in this manner makes no sense to me. A better account might be a Zacco no fee brokerage account where if you have enough assets you can trade tiny penny stocks with no commissions. I am proud to have purchased 6 shares of Sirius Radio corporation on the site for 15 cents each just to see it could be done with no commission- If I am wrong about the investment of about 90 cents then the US Pentagon or one of the major political parties will end up owning yet another satellite communications company paid for by private investors and my losses might be 90 cents! Satellite radio is the future of radio even if the company does go broke . So yes you can loose money reading this and it is all your fault if you do.
