Us young Greek's grow up being told that we'll never achieve anything because our country has no opportunities whatsoever. Tis is true, which is why most of us like me end up migrating. But that also show a fundamental reason why we chase opportunities even if they are not really opportunities. FOREX offers exiting quick $$ making trades. Something that you cant really have if you trade stocks unless you leverage really high. That alone is a reason why it is so appealing. The truth is, that FOREX is too risky and once you end up loosing all your money you realize that there is no quick way to make money in this world, unless you are born in the money.
