Forex is a double-edge sword, the faster it had the potential to grow your capital, the larger it had the potential to magnifiy your loss

Forex offer higher leverage but it will wipe out your account if your account size is small. You will get margin called often in forex if your account size is small.

If you are going for fastest capital growth, forex is the fastest to wipe/grow your account.

If capital is earned so easily, everyone who have dived into it already. And even if you can earn capital faster, the opposite also stands true: you can lose it even faster.

Forex is just speculation IMO. Whereas stock investing is buying into businesses with long runway, putting your $ inside and just letting it compound the next few years.

FOREX. The voltality there is high and you are able to employ a large leverage to magnify your gains...
