In the last two weeks, currency markets have experienced volatility not seen since the market meltdown in 2008. Some of the major currencies have seen moves of 10% or more as news of the U.S. debt downgrade, central bank intervention & European debt woes have rocked global markets in every asset class. This is a critical time to ensure your business is protected against adverse movements in the market and have the ability to execute when advantageous movements occur.

Currency markets move 24 hours a day and are influenced by billions of dollars flowing from speculation, sovereign wealth funds and central bank activities as well as fundamental business or economic needs. It is literally a full time job to keep track of where currency levels are at, let alone making the critical decisions on how your business should respond when markets are moving significantly.

It is a good time to ask your business these questions:

•   How is our business coping with these currency movements?
• Is managing currency exposures the best use of our skill set?
• Has our currency provider been contacting us to let us know of good opportunities or do they just take our trades?
• Are we comfortable using Limit Orders and Forward Contracts to protect our revenues and automatically seize on opportunities whenever volatile spikes provide the chance?
  

Working with experienced currency specialists can save you literally hundreds of thousands of dollars!!

You should be using tools such as LIMIT ORDERS & FORWARD CONTRACTS to lock in rates at prices you want, when you want.

Toronto, Ontario, February 10, 2011: When Jan-Pro Canada wanted to reduce their reliance on pay-per-click advertising in Google and invest instead in organic search for their business, they turned to gShift Labs' SEO Software to help them build their strategy and execute it on a monthly basis.       
 

"We had spoken to SEO experts and they were never able to conclusively describe what an organic SEO strategy would look like for our business and what we would need to do monthly," said Jean Roberge, Master Franchise Owner of Jan-Pro Canada. "We knew that with industry statistics suggesting 75% of searchers click on organic results versus Adwords, we needed an aggressive SEO strategy for our business. The dollars we were spending on pay-per-click were not getting us business."
