It started off innocently enough... to begin with we were reluctant users, using maybe once a week. But then the habit grew, twice a week and now maybe twice a day if we are excited. No, I'm talking about YouTube.
At Beta 2 we know we have to explain what we do and why we are doing it to clients and after some reluctance we realised that YouTube met those aims. Now hardly a day goes by without either myself, Lane Clark Beta 2 CEO, or my colleague Jovi Overo posting a quick Forex summary of the Forex News to YouTube.
Not only is it a way to explain to clients what is going on we also find it a useful way to make sure we are taking stock and reflecting on current affairs in the Forex World. As you would expect we are continually looking for the news that would influence our trading activities - but that five minutes gives us 5 minutes of genuine calm to reflect and consider.
It is also fun (much to our surprise) and as easy as falling of a log. You can visit the YouTube channel here Beta 2. Or we also pick up the RSS feed and show it on our site - Beta 2 - and we show it as well as on a special TV site Beta 2 TV.
We also publish views in text form of course and you can see those on our site as well - but for immediacy there is little to beat the ease and power of YouTube. Give it a bash.
