Unfortunately there are always people who will part with money too fast in the hope of making more, this is especially true when it comes to the stock market.

Forex Currency Basics Explained
What is currency trading? Well, at its simplest it is exchanging one currency for another, just as you might do when going on vacation to another country. You sell your currency for the money of the place you are going to.
However, when people talk about forex (foreign exchange) trading or currency trading on the forex market, they generally mean something very different. In this case traders are constantly exchanging one currency for another (buying currencies and selling others) with the goal of making a profit when the exchange rates change.
It is a little like trading in stocks on the stock market. Stock traders usually buy and sell stocks very quickly compared with the average personal investor who will take the advice of a broker but often keep stocks for years or even decades.
