In New York they use dollars, in Frankfurt Germany Euro, in Tokyo yen and in Zurich Swiss franks . An investor based in Geneva, following the value of the above currencies, stock exchange quotations, time changes and gold quotations, with the use of an intercontinental phone a personal computer and a video terminal can earn a lot of money. With the dollar down, the New York stock exchange index rises because investments come from abroad. But, if the dollar decreases, the Euro and gold automatically increase in value. The rise of the Eros leads investors in Eros to buy stock exchange shares of other nations. There is therefore a flow of Eros towards other foreign markets or towards the purchase of gold. As a consequence of this flow, there is a lowering of Frankfurt stock and a rise in the price of gold. In the meantime, those who have invested in the New York stock exchange, that has risen thanks to the investments in Eros , sell shares and gold and buy dollars.

All the money has remained in the respective countries. As a consequence of this way of proceeding, international cracks occur, even those of important banks. This can happen when orders of international purchases are not supported by real money and comes to the fore when, after stopping the game once a month for example, for payments and compensations, those who bought without having the necessary funds, cannot pay. As a consequence even small investors, encouraged by publicity and dazzled by easy earnings and who had invested their own hard-earned savings, are damaged.
