Tommaso, you'll need to go through a futures broker. I would recommend this route rather than trading spot currency. Although I made some Laphroaig money trading the Dollar/Yen both ways in '98, it was a stressful experience knowing that one swift move against me could put me into insolvency. Also, the futures market, unlike the spot market, is regulated. So there is at least an arbitration process in the case of a trading dispute. Obviously, you can lose your entire investment with currency options, but that's all you can lose.

Occasionally have an urge to buy calls betting against the dollar, but so far haven't acted on it.

Newbie question: When a stock symbol has a Q added to it, it usually signifies a bankruptcy proceeding. Anyone know what adding an E means?

Edit:

Ahh- the E means Delinquent in required filings with the SEC source netvest.com

Not a good sign unless one is short
