   Stocks is the easiest and requires the least upfront capital

   The easiest to learn is what you’re most interested in, but basically stocks are easiest, least risky and least start up.

   I believe forex to be a scam, based on what I’ve heard. I’m going on hearsay, hence the "I believe" disclaimer. Having said that, I think stocks and commodities are the safest options of those you have listed. They are all risky. I know very little about commodities, but there are volumes of reference material available on valuing stocks. Try the Motley Fool at fool.com (I don’t recommend the subscription, but the forums and articles are very informative.) Also check out Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham.

   I think you are starting with a faulty premise.

   I agree that of the choices listed, stocks are the easiest, but that is not the same thing as saying any of them are easy.

   They all take decades to master, even assuming you have the personality, organization, and funding to do it well (which most people do not).

   Trading is trading. A trader has his preferences, but can usually trade anything.

   Investing is easy, by comparison.

   You should be able to learn how to do it in a few years, like any vocation.

   Trading forex has become little bit easier nowadays with the entry of advanced software utilities.

   I started manually trading and now run 4 robotos, caspian, forex funnel, ivybot and fapturbo.

   I run at around 40% profit … better than bank interest rates and out of all of the AI Forex robots fapturbo is the best.

   I checked out the review here and purchased, you get a discount using the link so it’s the best place to buy, I should know I spent months searching
