I do not recommend or give financial advise. I only comment on the markets and the moves I make. I have been generally negative on equities (especially US and European equities and especially financials) for close to a year now and have been a net seller of equities at opportune moments over the past 6+ months. Wish iShares had a Russian Ruble, Chinese Yuan, Israeli Shekel, Ukrainian Grivna, Indian Rupee and Saudi Riyal funds. These are not easy currencies to trade, but these are all interesting.

Thank you for responding. Yes, I agree its very interesting. I found some cool videos online that teach and explain how to trade currencies. Some of these are way too complicated for me - a beginner, but there are videos that teach about buying and selling and types of exchanges and other things. You should check it out. My friend told me about Forexclub which also has good info and videos. I also found Babypips which is probably my favorite, as they make it real easy to understand the basics.

Forex currency trading is not for me. There are too many factors that play into short term ups and downs and currency contracts are definitely short term.
