My name is Georgia Francesca Anderson and I was born and raised in beautiful Mediterranean city La Spezia in Italy. My parents placed me in a very conservative school with an exceptional formal education that for awhile smothered my natural ambitions and personality.

During my high school years I visited the US for the very first time as a foreign exchange student at Brawley Union High School in California. Talking about a ‘cultural shock!’ I couldn’t say even one world properly in English and I was not that ‘well-rounded’ as I’m now thus not attracting too much help or sympathies. Nevertheless, if there is a will there is a way and learning English from scratch didn’t seem that bad experience after all. Make the long story short I fell in love with America and decided to relocate back at the first opportunity.

After finishing high school in Italy, I graduated from the Law School in Pisa in October 2003 and entered a real world of working Italians. It didn’t take too long for my American dream to prevail, especially since I was bored with my dull professional life and ready for some excitement and new challenges in my life.

… And here I was in 2006 back in California with a new fresh start in the financial business world as a Futures and Forex broker.

What interesting journey it’s been since. I have always considered my femininity as an asset to my business endeavors by giving my clients a welcome break from the male dominant society. In fact, I recently posed for Playboy magazine as a member of the exclusive group of the Seven Sexiest Businesswomen on Wall Street. I don’t consider myself being a poster child of financial sexiness but rather a woman of substance with a friendly and outgoing personality. I’d like to believe that I could prove to our old-fashioned financial world that a success should be measured by accomplishments and not expected behavior standards.

I loved the fast paced environment and delved deep into the intricacies of Futures and Forex trading. I also started working with institutional clients. Within 6 months, I passed my series 3 broker exams and registered with the NFA. Fascinated with this world, I relentlessly mastered my theoretical and practical expertise and finally came to conclusion to share it with whoever is willing to learn.

… And the idea of writing a book was born.

My book serves as a basic beginner’s guide to the Forex and Futures financial world. It is intended for readers with very limited knowledge of both markets. Book’s language is intentionally simple and easy to understand even for people who are being intimidated by complicated financial terms. This 140-page book is really a well-crafted attempt to answer many commonly asked questions with various useful tips. Essentially, I consider it as a guide and an indispensable manual for every beginner ready to learn the basics about Forex, Futures, and Technical Analysis.

Happy reading and hopefully investing!

Yours,
