After much hemming and hawing, the bank staff finally ushered her into thepresident’s office (the customer is always right!). The bank president then asked her how much she would like to deposit.

Indeed large multinational and individual banks and other major financial institutions have dominated FX trading (also known as Forex trading), but there is a paradigm change in the nature and type of investing.
