The upwards bias is simply for dividends, stock price increases aren't anymore ensured. Profits can evaporate within days if there is a collapse, which is getting more and more likely these days and more and more frequent. Owning stocks or owning cash, what's the distinction, with the two vehicles I have something.

My logic to select stocks over FX is over the long run like 10 years lets say there is an upward bias meanwhile, interest rates will be shing, carry trades will unwind and could be burnt badly... meanwhile on the stock side at the end of the day at least I still own the shares.

The greater the leverage, the physical money I need to spend, pretty logical, no? With the remainder of my money I can do some thing different. The opportunity cost is greater with stocks.

of course you also need to get the direction right, but that's the same with stocks. I thought the subject here was interest rate vs. dividends. But you know the subject better, therefore please elaborate more instead of providing bitchy comments.

That I think the response is currency pairs:You have leverage at the currency market, so can invest more money you get interest daily vs. dividends a year But I might be incorrect. Not doing much inventory investing here.

The only positive I can see is attention will be paid daily, however it harder to period. With stocks you could discover some that pay monthly dividends, but in most cases its quarterly, easier to period as over the long run they trend up... I've been attempting to trade forex (paper trade) for 6 weeks now unsuccesfully, nothing actually works for me.
