HAVE YOU RECEIVED AN E-MAIL OR TELEPHONE CALL, INVITING YOU TO TRADE FUTURES? CONSUMERS NEED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS, BEFORE DIVING INTO THE INVESTMENT POOL OF FOREIGN-CURRENCY MARKETS. ACCORDING TO NATIONAL FUTURES ASSOCIATION, IT'S VITAL THAT INVESTORS UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS AND THE RISKS OF TRADING FUTURES. N-F-A NOW OFFERS FREE EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS--ALONG WITH A DATABASE OF ALL REGISTERED FUTURES BROKERS--SO YOU CAN CONDUCT A BACKGROUND CHECK, BEFORE YOU GIVE ANYONE YOUR MONEY. WHAT PROMPTED THIS PROGRAM? N-F-A REALIZED THAT IT NEEDED TO SUPPLEMENT ITS REGULATORY EFFORTS WITH SPECIFIC OUTREACH PROGRAMS, DESIGNED TO BOTH EDUCATE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND MINIMIZE THEIR RISK OF BECOMING VICTIMS OF FRAUD. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT N-F-A, VISIT W-W-W-DOT-"N-F-A"-DOT-"FUTURES"-DOT-ORG--OR CALL 1-800-621-3570.
