			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Follow The Yellow Brick Road (FYBR II)</strong> &#8211; the E-Book edition, is an essential guide for all trade intermediaries and would-be trade intermediaries. The second book in the FYBR series, FYBR II is a refined version of the previous edition and contains all the necessary information needed to become an expert trade intermediary.</p>
<p>Written by a true trade legend, Davide Papa, FYBR is akin to having a mentor walk you through the process of being a successful trade intermediary. Davide Papa has almost 20 years of experience in international trading and is considered by many to be a leader in the field.</p>
<p>A trade intermediary long before the advent of the Internet as a viable trading tool, Davide was disappointed and dismayed to see how many new traders starting out on line were being sucked into scams and roped into deals laced with meaningless documentation. To correct this problem and educate a new generation of trade intermediaries he decided to write a definitive guide to international trading. FYBR is that guide.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">FYBR addresses the following issues of concern:</span></p>
<p><strong>Scam Prevention</strong></p>
<p>As a trade intermediary in the modern marketplace, one must be constantly vigilant in guarding against scams. FYBR II lays out the signs of scams in such a way that if you follow its direction, it is unlikely you will be scammed again.</p>
<p><strong>Detailed How-to Guides</strong></p>
<p>Going hand in hand with scams are the dangers of engaging in an honest trade in an incompetent fashion. Many trade intermediaries simply do not know how to properly conduct trades and end up losing money on deals that should have been winners. FYBR provides step by step instruction on how to instigate, conduct and close a trade deal for the maximum benefit to all parties.</p>
<p>As a trade intermediary, you wear several hats. In some cases you are the buyer, in others the seller, and still in some cases you are an intermediary in a chain of intermediaries. The FYBR lays out methods for trading from several perspectives, allowing the intermediaries to learn how it’s properly done no matter which side of the trade they participate in.</p>
<p><strong>Guides include the intermediary as:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A buyer dealing with a supplier</li>
<li>A seller dealing with an end buyer</li>
<li>A lone intermediary dealing as a buyer or a seller.</li>
<li>A buyer or seller coordinating other trade intermediaries</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Example Forms That Work</strong></p>
<p>International trading is currently swamped with meaningless forms that slow down legitimate deals and enable scams. As a trade intermediary it is essential to know which forms are necessary and which are fictional. Therefore, in addition to advising on trading methods, FYBR also includes several sample forms, including forms for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Quotes</li>
<li>Inquiries</li>
<li>Offers</li>
<li>FOB Contracts</li>
<li>Commission Pay Orders</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Stop wasting your time</strong></p>
<p>Time is money. Don&#8217;t spend another day lost in a sea of “NCND, ICPO, LOI, CIF ASWP, ect..” misinformation, losing money and opportunities, get the information you need directly from a proven expert. Follow the Yellow Brick Road.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Commodity Trading Intermediary</strong></p>
<p>Want to become a successful commodity trading intermediary? How much would you give to pick the brain of someone with 19 years of experience in the industry? This book, FYBR,  represents a distillation of industry expert Davide Papa&#8217;s knowledge, a knowledge which has the potential to empower commodity trading intermediaries to start closing real deals.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t rely any longer on Internet rumors concerning LOI&#8217;s, BCL&#8217;s, POP&#8217;s, ICPO&#8217;s, NCND’s and other acronyms which have become the watchwords of time wasters, scammers and failing traders alike. Understand at last which trading applications are valid and legal, and which are pure myth. Get informed with FYBR. </p>
<p>A career trading from home is a possibility if you are prepared to do the necessary groundwork to become informed in the field. The need to understand the field in which one is trading seems obvious, however there are thousands of commodity trading intermediaries who have failed to take this step. For this reason the Internet abounds with false information, and many new traders are sucked into scam deals that never come to fruition. </p>
<p><strong>How Bad Is The Scam Situation Online?</strong></p>
<p>Davide Papa&#8217;s export company FTN Exporting has solid real world experience in the international trading market, and even after 19 years in business they still encounter issues sourcing genuine goods. The scam market is much larger than the legitimate market and is much more readily available to unwary traders who become desperate and leap at deals that are massively under priced and which rely on LOI&#8217;s and BCL&#8217;s to supposedly &#8216;close&#8217; them. These deals never have a positive result and yet new victims are in abundance, with some traders going from dud deal to dud deal without learning their lesson. </p>
<p><strong>What Can I Do To Avoid Scams?</strong></p>
<p>You can avoid this trap. FYBR will revolutionize the way you trade. It will teach you legal procedures for closing real trade deals, and it will teach you how to identify a genuine opportunity when one is presented. The rules that major corporations employ when engaging in import and export deals are the same rules that commodity trading intermediaries can and should be employing in their own undertakings. </p>
<p>There is great capacity for profit as a commodity trading intermediary, however there is also great capacity for fruitlessly wasting one&#8217;s time and worse still, losing one&#8217;s money. Be a success story, take the time to read Davide Papa&#8217;s FYBR. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Follow The Yellow Brick Road &#8211; FYBR</strong> was written for one purpose: to educate buyers, sellers and especially the intermediaries (brokers, agents) who are participating in import/export deals independently. Whether one is starting out in the field, or if one has been in it for some time, international trading has become such a murky affair that those who have not received proper education often become confused as to proper practice.</p>
<p>To add to the general confusing which was already in existence surrounding proper practice, in July of 2007 a new set of international banking rules were set down. These rules are known as the UCP600. All traders, new and old need to be familiar with these rules in order to trade legally. Outdated practices will no longer provide the security they once did, and in some cases may even be entirely impossible to use.</p>
<p>A formal education in international trading takes many years to complete and is incredibly involved. Such formal education is also normally focused on international exporters and importers, and leaves the budding trade intermediary out in the cold, picking up scraps of relevant information where he or she can.</p>
<p>Many buyers, sellers and intermediaries simply do not have the time to invest in such an undertaking. They therefore rely on what little information they have going into the trading business and often become victims of scammers who are empowered with just enough knowledge to make deals seem legitimate. In international trading, knowledge is the ultimate power, and that&#8217;s where FYBR comes into play. This book contains all the necessary information needed to become a successful trader in the modern international marketplace.</p>
<p>With almost two decades in the field, Davide Papa has established himself and his company, FTN Exporting, as market leaders. As a leader, he felt a responsibility to impart the necessary information needed to make the online trading environment less confusing and vulnerable to scammers who have been happily taking advantage of the misperceptions of trade intermediaries for quite some time.</p>
<p>Trade intermediaries as well as end buyers and sellers will find this book useful as a guide for determining whether or not a trade is valid, and whether or not all procedures necessary for a legal trade have been completed. Put simply, <strong>FYBR is the definitive guide to international trading</strong> and should be part of every trade intermediary&#8217;s arsenal.</p>
