Is trading too good to be true?

There is a good article on Sunday Times on 19th Sep to warn people about Forex training courses.  There are too much hype about turning small capital into hundreds of thousand or millions.  It is not impossible, but it won't happen for most if not all people.

Trading is a good skill to pick up regardless you are planning a career change or for additional knowledge to help in your investments or looking for supplementary income. 

The most important fact is that you need to pick up the skills first.  And this requires a lot of learning and training.  It will take nothing less than 5000 hours of practices and trainings with clear objectives.
