Frequently Asked Questions

What is the domain name system?

Every computer connected to the internet is identified by a unique IP address (such as 255.132.245.12). It quickly became apparent that these numbers weren't too meaningful and as the net grew in popularity it became important to have more memorable ways of identifying the servers. Hence the domain name - unique identifiers that point to specific IP addresses.

What does it mean to "register" a domain name?

When you register a domain name, you are inserting your details in a 'Registrant' entry in the registry of domain names and their corresponding computers on the Internet, the registration is a 'right to use' the domain name for a given period. This 'right to use' can be transferred or sold to another person, but can be lost if not paid (renewed) every year.

What domain should I register?

Try to go for something memorable and individual. Ideally, register your domain name in as many suffixes as possible to stop competitors registering variations of your name.

Can I register a 2-letter domain?

Two letter .com .net and .org domains were allowed with the Verisign registry. However, upon the transition of the management of .org to PIR (Public Interest Registry) the ICANN agreement placed all two letters domains in a reserved status. Under this agreement no two letters domains can be registered. All two letter domain names that are current and have not been deleted or expired will continue to operate.

GM will allow consumers refund and replace defective vehicles

Posted: Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:10:15 +0000

General Motors Corp. stated in its court filing that it would assume liability for future product defects as one of several concessions offered in a bid to win court approval for a quick sale from bankruptcy. Besides, it will change the terms of its proposed asset sale to address objections raised by over 20 suppliers and is working out a consensual agreement with Toyota Motor Corp. to address a joint-venture factory it operates with Toyota in Fremont, California.

It is known that a group of nine state attorneys general, including Ohio and Connecticut, had objected to the GM reorganization brokered by the Obama administration because it would have robbed consumers of protections against product defects under state laws. In response, GM said it would continue to pay “lemon law” claims so that consumers would be entitled to a refund or replacement for defective vehicles.

According to the GM reorganization plan, a new company would be created to buy the automaker’s best assets out of bankruptcy in a deal scheduled to close by August. The new GM would be 60-percent owned by the U.S. government, 17.5 percent by the United Auto Workers union and 11.7 percent by the governments of Canada and the province of Ontario.

The Ad Hoc Committee of Consumer Victims of General Motors, a group representing about 300 Americans with lawsuits against GM for alleged product defects, has objected to the reorganization since those injury and wrongful-death claims would have to be paid out from the sale of GM’s mostly worthless assets. The group said in a bankruptcy court filing earlier this month the automaker’s insurance would only cover product liability claims of up to $35 million per claim.

Forex trading hours - where is the “catch”?

Every minute in the Forex market counts. One minute you notice a currency is increasing in value, the next you notice that the same kind of currency you noticed a minute ago is decreasing in value. This is why you should consider the fact that Forex market is a very dynamic market with lots of price oscillations. By the way check the footer of this article for very useful free tool.

Minute by minute events are very important in order for you to be successful. Because of this feature that is found in the Forex market, you, as a Forex trader, can enter the market a number of times a day. This will allow you to earn some profits after every number of trades you do and perhaps maybe even lose one if you made the wrong trading decision.

Firstly, you have to remember that the Forex market beings at Sunday at 5PM EST to Friday at 4PM EST then it beings again at 5PM EST. Trading begins in Forex at New Zealand next at Australia followed by Asia, in the Middle East, Europe and ends in America. The major markets in Forex are London, Tokyo and New York with trading activities the heaviest when major markets overlap.

Basing from the times, you will see that there will always be someone anywhere in the world who is buying and selling currencies. You will see that when one market closes, another market opens. Trading in the Forex market is 24 hours a day.

Forex market transaction volume is always high during the whole day. However, it peaks the highest when the Asian market, the European market and the US market opens at the same time.

These are the trading hours in the Forex market you have to trade in, in order to get the highest possible trades. This are the hours that are also the most profitable.

* Forex is 24 hour market – It starts from Sunday 5pm EST through Friday 4pm EST. Rollover at 5pm EST

* Forex Trading begins in New Zealand, followed by Australia, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and America

* The US & UK account for more than 50% of the market transactions

* Forex Major markets: London, New York, Tokyo

* Nearly two-thirds of NY activity occurs in the morning hours while European markets are open

* Forex Trading activity is heaviest when major markets overlap.

From this timing facts, it is quite visible that at any given time, somebody somewhere in the world is buying and selling currencies. As one market closes, another market opens. Business hours overlap, and the exchange continues as day becomes night and night becomes day.

Forex market volume of transactions remains high during the whole day, but peaks highest when the Asian market(including Australia & New Zealand), the European market and the U.S. market are open simultaneously. And these are the trading hours you must target in order to find the highest possible amount of profitable trades.

This is the breakdown of OPEN Market Times for your reference:

* New York Market trade times: 8am-4pm EST
* London Market trade times: 2am-12Noon EST
* Great Britain Market trade times: 3am-11am EST
* Tokyo Market trade times: 8pm-4am EST
* Australia Market trade times: 7pm-3am EST

US Closing (IMM)	7:00	21:00	20:00	15:00	13:00

If you pay attention to the last schedule you will notice that there are two times when two of the major markets overlap during trading hours; between 2am and 4am EST (Asian/European) and between 8am to 12pm EST(European/N. American).

So here you have it, if you want to find a great number of profitable trades, focus on the hours when the markets tend to make their biggest moves, i.e., during these big markets overlaps, which therefore, are usually the Best Times to Trade

EXPECTATIONS FOR UPCOMING FED MEETINGS

U.S. DOLLAR: G8 SUMMIT VS. DATA

With U.S. traders out celebrating the July 4 ^th holiday, recovery and consolidation was the theme in the currency markets today. The euro and commodity currencies rebounded against the U.S. dollar while the British pound and Japanese Yen edged modestly lower. The EUR/USD had a slightly wider than expected July 4 ^th holiday trading range of 100 pips but the trading range for USD/JPY was less than 50 pips.

G8 Summit vs. Economic Data

In the week ahead, the U.S. economic calendar is extremely light. The only pieces of potentially market moving data will be the service sector ISM index on Monday and the U.S. trade balance on Friday. However there will be interest rate decisions from Australia and the U.K. along with the G8 Summit in Italy beginning on Wednesday. In light of that, the lack of U.S. economic data next week could lead to a further rally in the dollar as bears take profits on short positions. After Thursday’s weak non-farm payrolls report, traders need a very good reason to buy stocks and sell dollars. Unfortunately there may not be many reasons for investors to turn optimistic in the coming week. The only hope is for strong earnings from Alcoa or an escalation of reserve diversification talk around the G8 meeting. However in all likelihood, China’s flip flopping threats about the dollar will amount to more bark than bite. G8 leaders have no interest in talking down the dollar at this point and at best it may only be mentioned in their outreach talks with the emerging economies. This is not the time or place to be talking about reserve diversification as European leaders may adamantly oppose any measures that could further strengthen their currencies. Therefore China’s request won’t amount to anything and instead the G8 leaders will focus on discussing the state of the global economy, the need for greater financial regulation, climate change, trade and development. The markets also rarely react to the outcome of the G8 Summit as specific financial announcements are usually left to the Finance Ministers meeting.

Using Currencies to Forecast Earnings

Meanwhile when traders return on Monday, their focus will shift to earnings season. Many equity analysts believe that Q2 earnings will be stronger for the nonfinancial sectors because of cost cutting, the rally in equity markets, the improvement in consumer confidence, government stimulus programs and the slower pace of contraction in manufacturing indices. However, we believe that the weakness of the U.S. dollar has also played a large role in corporate profitability between April and June just as the dollar’s strength in the first 3 months of the year bit into earnings. In the second quarter, the U.S. dollar weakened across the board. This will benefit the companies that export abroad, have foreign operations or large account receivables denominated in foreign currencies. In general, the industries with the greatest foreign sales exposure are energy, technology and consumer staples. Google for example reported in the first quarter that foreign currency fluctuations shaved 7.8 percent off from their revenues. Considering that the dollar only strengthened 5.16 percent against the euro and 1.85 percent against the British pound in the first 3 months of the year, we can only imagine the positive impact that a 14 percent appreciation of the British pound and close to 6 percent appreciation of the euro will do to earnings in the second quarter. Some analysts estimate that Google, who makes more than 50 percent of their money internationally, will see a 20 cent contribution to earnings purely from FX flows. Companies that produce commodities could also benefit as the weaker dollar drives commodity prices higher. Therefore equity traders may find it useful

REBOUNDS DESPITE WEAK RETAIL SALES REPORT

Despite sharp selling in Asia yesterday, the EUR/USD ended the U.S. trading session virtually unchanged. Eurozone economic data was mixed with the final service sector PMI data revised marginally higher from 44.5 to 44.7. Retail sales were weak with consumer spending falling 0.4 percent. This drop was not entirely surprising considering the sharp decline in spending in France and the slower pace of growth in Germany. Looking ahead the big question for the EUR/USD next week is whether or not it will test the monthly low of 1.3750. Even though the Eurozone economic calendar is busier than the U.S., there may not be any major surprises. The only meaningful releases on the calendar are the final figures for first quarter GDP, industrial production and the German trade balance. Manufacturing activity is improving globally and therefore we expect to see evidence of this recovery in the industrial production and factory orders report. Therefore the chance of consolidation is greater than a test of the monthly high or low. Consumer prices were released from Switzerland today. The market was looking for CPI to ease but it held steady which is mildly positive for the Franc. Employment data is due for release next week and like many other countries around the world, the jobless rate is expected to rise.

BANK OF ENGLAND MEETING NEXT WEEK

The British pound ended the U.S. trading session marginally lower against the U.S. dollar and euro as the service sector PMI index fell from 51.7 to 51.6 in the month of June. Although the pace of expansion slowed marginally, it is still impressive that services, which accounts for over two thirds of the economy is growing and not contracting. Despite the large drop in GDP in the first quarter, the PMI reports indicate that the U.K. economy is getting back on track. The big event for the U.K. next week will be the Bank of England interest rate decision. For the fifth month in a row, the BoE is expected to leave interest rates unchanged at 0.5 percent. However there is a lot of speculation floating around about what the central bank could do next. Some believe that they could raise their size of their asset purchase program to accelerate the recovery while others argue that they could be first to remove monetary stimulus. The latest comments from monetary policy committee members Besley and Miles suggest that the BoE is in no rush to tighten monetary policy. They said there is no specific timing to unwinding the asset purchases and that it is premature to assess the effectiveness of the Quantitative Easing program. Therefore we place the odds in favor of more dovish rather than hawkish comments from the central bank next week. In addition to the BoE decision, industrial production, the trade balance and producer prices are due for release. Improving manufacturing activity should help to narrow the trade balance while the strength of the pound may have offset higher commodity prices.

SERVICE SECTOR ACTIVITY BACK IN EXPANSIONARY TERRITORY

Quiet trading has helped the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars recover against the greenback. Australia was the only commodity producing country to report economic last night. Service sector PMI leaped from 39.9 to 50.2, the first month of expansion in more than a year. This healthy report confirms our belief that the Australian economy is outperforming all of its G20 counterparts. The main event risk for next week will be the Reserve Bank of Australia’s rate decision on Tuesday. The RBA’s meeting is probably one of the most anticipated central bank meetings at this point because their comments on the outlook for monetary policy and the economy could have a significant impact on the Australian dollar. Last month, the central bank warned that interest rates could still be reduced despite improvements in the economy. The economy has only strengthened further since then with retail sales rising for the third month in a row, manufacturing sector activity accelerating and the number of people falling off employment rolls decreasing. Building approvals were weak but hardly notable enough to offset the laundry list of good news. However for the RBA, there is no urgency to rush back towards tighter monetary policy. The global recovery is still fragile and strength of the Australian dollar could hurt earnings. There is more to lose if they turned hawkish one month and reverted back to dovishness the next. Therefore we expect the RBA statement to remain relatively unchanged. In addition to the RBA rate decision, Australia’s labor market report is due for release. Canada also employment numbers on Friday, but the focus in the beginning of the week will be on the IVEY PMI report. Oil prices have retraced significantly which is contributing to the weakness in the loonie. The New Zealand economic calendar on the other hand is devoid of any market moving data.

95 LEVEL CRITICAL FOR COMING WEEK

In the coming week, USD/JPY will continue to trade on risk appetite. The 95 level has been a very significant area of support and should risk aversion exacerbate we could see that level tested again. In light of the numerous reports from Japan this past week, we have learned that the corporate sector of the economy is improving but unfortunately that improvement has not trickled down to consumers. This is a major problem that Japan has had for years and one that they are clearly continuing to struggle with. Small and large business has seen improving activity thanks to demand from China but earnings continue to fall while unemployment continues to rise. Next week, Japan is set to release their leading indicators report, Eco Watchers survey and trade balance. Even though the Yen strengthened against the dollar in May, its weakness against the euro and large orders from China should help boost their trade surplus.

Currency in Play for Next 24 Hours

USD/JPY will be the currency in play on Monday. Japan will be releasing its leading indicators report at 1:00am ET or 5:00 GMT while the U.S. is expected to release service sector ISM at 10:00am ET or 14:00 GMT.

Over the past 2 weeks, USD/JPY has been caught in a very tight trading range. Despite a series of higher highs and higher lows, the currency pair has been constrained between the 95 and 97 levels. Significant resistance exists right above current prices with the 10, 50 and 100 day SMA hovering around the 96.75 – 97 level. Thursday’s low of 95.70 coincides with the 200-day SMA and the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement of the January to April rally. Although a move below 95.60 would take USD/JPY into the “sell zone,” which we determine using Bollinger Bands, the currency pair would really need to close below 95.00 to open the door for a more meaningful sell-off. A rally above 95.70 on the other hand could pave the way for a move towards the first standard deviation Bollinger Band at 98.00.

6. RISK DISCLOSURE

1. FXstreet.com is compensated a percentage of each round turn for clients referred by us to brokers and FDMs participating in the Pip Rebate Program. More information.

2. Trading foreign exchange on margin carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
