I worked for a Congressman when the education department was first established. what we have today is so far fetched from the orignal idea its pathetic. Would I send my kids to public school? No I home schooled them. Two now in college, one getting ready to enter, 2 others all done.

"wow, in the one post of yours that i've read, you've earned a prominent spot on my imbecile list." I'm not saying the Republicans aren't screwing things up, nor am I ignoring the fact that they control both Houses of Congress. Re-read my post. I said that CONGRESS has control of the...

"education floundering because of no financial support from the feds." what a bunch of b.s. Pouring MILLIONS AND MILLIONS into a failed project won't make it better or even work.

When the economy is up or down, everyone looks to the President. That's the easiest thing to do. In reality, the state of the economy SHOULD be shouldered by Congress, especially the House. The President can, up to point, refuse to play ball with Congress. Unless there is something he...

I think "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is geared towards those who are financially ill informed. It was rather basic, hammering home some very basic principles, but still he explains why your personal residence is a liability instead of an asset. Having read that whole series, I can easily see why my...

"Richest Man in Babylon" should be required reading for children and should be handed to every incoming freshmen at University. ABSOLUTELY !!!

Mecro I have no idea how old you are but I can tell you if you're spending all your money, when you hit retirement, you'll wish you had what you spent. You don't have to hoard every dime, but be prudent. Pay now or pay later. Later is when you'll need it the most, to live life with some...

lol, I was being sarcastic. When I was first learning to trade, that is how it always happened, then I got everything straight.

Could be, but think about it. How many times have you placed a trade and immediately the market goes the other way? Sooooo, you place an order short and I'll get ready to go long. Another option would be for you to just deposit a few thousand into my account and we can forget placing...

That was a great link, thanks for sharing it. For myself, all I need to do is make 2.5 points a day and I've doubled my money for the month. Could I make more? Sure, but after 2.5 points I can walk away and have a life.

I agree with your comments. Game #1 for me was kinda boring with its simplicity, but the grandkids don't know any better. Or rather the younger ones don't. Three of them (8, 10, 12) have advanced to 101 already. Having been through the "for kids" game, they caught on to 101 real fast...

You can find the games on his web site...... be prepared, they're about 100+ bucks, but worth every penny.

You know, I grew up believing a home was an asset. It is, but only for the Lender. This book and others in the series brought out some points most ppl don't think about.

How would you rate your personal money management skills? A lot is written for traders about managing their money in trades, but how about our personal bank accounts etc. What's your view, how would you rate yourself. I've read tons of personal finance books. My favorite is "Richest Man...

If you're currently working and trading, continue. Hopefully you're making money @ trading. Some people will take their gains to buy a new car, big/better house, furniture, parties, vacations, the list is endless. The smart person will take their gains and invest in something that provides...

Or, like asking how big is a rock

Good creative responses here. How about "I'm into charities, care to make a donation?" If you tell them you're a trader, be sure to emphaize the "d" so it won't sound like traitor. We have enough of them in government.

Anyone who would walk away from their family and friends for any amount.......... well THEY are better off without you.

Get yourself into a position where you have passive income, enough to support yourself/your family. That removes a lot of pressure.

maxpi.... very true, hence my signature
