The Geared Investor

Hello newbie! Why not subscribe to my RSS feed or my Free Forex Signals and make some pips?!

I find the title of the website hilarious considering the origin of the url.  ATNABTU, a forex news webiste run by Oanda, stands for All Their News Are Belong To You.  The name is a spinoff of the horrible translation from Japanese to English of the video game Zero Wing where the characterer ‘Cats’ says, “All your base are belong to us”.  The literal Japanese translation should really say, “Assisted by the Federation Government forces, CATS has taken over your base completely.”  Pretty good butchering of the english language huh?  If you want to learn more you can read more about it here.

But let’s get down to what the article is about.  Oanda has put together a very nice website that aggregates forex articles based on several categories or specific currencies.  I find this very useful if I don’t want to wander around the internet looking for information that will tell me why the Japanese yen became so strong and killed my CAD/JPY trade.  I’m not bitter at all by the way.  When you can save time reading news, you can spend more time at the charts.  And all of us need that, definitely including myself.   

You can also sort articles by popularity by the day, week, etc.  Windows open up in a nice popup window within ATNABTU, which is nice because I usually have too many windows open to begin with.  This project was built out of the Oanda FXLabs website, which I also find very useful to see what new currency tools this broker is developing to help you understand the currency world.   

So head over to ATNABTU and take a look around.  And remember this important lesson in Japanes to English translation and the consequences it may have on popular culture.

Show some Love and Pass it on!!...
