Foreign exchange market

The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a global decentralized market for the trading of currencies. This includes all aspects of buying, selling and exchanging currencies at current or determined prices. In terms of volume of trading, it is by far the largest market in the world. The main participants in this market are the larger international banks. Financial centres around the world function as anchors of trading between a wide range of multiple types of buyers and sellers around the clock, with the exception of weekends. The foreign exchange market does not determine the relative values of different currencies, but sets the current market price of the value of one currency as demanded against another.

The foreign exchange market works through financial institutions, and it operates on several levels. Behind the scenes banks turn to a smaller number of financial firms known as “dealers,” who are actively involved in large quantities of foreign exchange trading. Most foreign exchange dealers are banks, so this behind-the-scenes market is sometimes called the “interbank market”, although a few insurance companies and other kinds of financial firms are involved. Trades between foreign exchange dealers can be very large, involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Because of the sovereignty issue when involving two currencies, forex has little (if any) supervisory entity regulating its actions.

I'm Back To Women

by: Frogs

spitting out fire
from the goat's milk i've drunk
i feel like a punk with an earring up my balls
i'm about to take a big fat fall though
as you know
i'm back to women
i couldn't keep it up
they changed my mind around
now i'm spitting out fire from my balls
i know it's screwed up
but i'm, i'm back to women
like i said, i couldn't keep it up
i'm spitting out fire through all of my orifices
and if that ain't enough
i had to give up cologne
i got all my hair removed
