Before deciding to participate in the Forex market, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. Most importantly, do not invest money you cannot afford to lose.
There is considerable exposure to risk in any off-exchange foreign exchange transaction, including, but not limited to, leverage, creditworthiness, limited regulatory protection and market volatility that may substantially affect the price, or liquidity of a currency or currency pair.
More over, the leveraged nature of forex trading means that any market movement will have an equally proportional effect on your deposited funds. This may work against you as well as for you. The possibility exists that you could sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your position. If you fail to meet any margin requirement, your position may be liquidated and you will be responsible for any resulting losses. To manage exposure, employ risk-reducing strategies such as 'stop-loss' or 'limit' orders.

Futures and Options

Each business day, the aggregated dollar value of traded commodities dwarfs similar activity on the stock market. While rise and fall of stock values capture the most media attention, the real commerce of the world literally flows through the commodities markets. Without the essential liquidity provided by the commodities markets, the world economy would come to a grinding halt.

Our trade professionals utilize a risk management approach that can allow you to take full advantage of the limitless financial opportunities available in the ever expanding market. We are mindful that trading in this or any market involves substantial risks, and will work closely with you to determine whether your financial portfolio is amenable to the breadth of exposure associated with this type of leveraged commerce.
Precious Metals
As commodity prices escalate and the value of the dollar slips, we believe investors must find a portfolio hedge. In our opinion, the purchase of physical gold, silver and platinum offers the investor a tangible means to protect wealth. GlobeWest clients can purchase spot-price precious metals which can be delivered to your door or held in certified repositories. Our gold and silver certificates are a compatible complement to your IRA or retirement plan.
Globewest provides you with the unique opportunity to hedge your physical precious metal investments by trading in the spot gold market. As a Globewest client, you can use this electronic trading tool to not only track the price of gold, but to take positions in the market that may help you offset in value changes to your holdings in real time.
