One of my good friends spends a lot of time in Thailand. He loves it. :)

BlueHorseshoe made an excellent suggestion about Hilo. Hilo is beautiful and affordable !! I think you would really enjoy the Big Island of Hawaii. :)

If you're going to transfer to University of Hawaii, you'll likely be considering housing in the Makiki area (unless you're living in a dorm). It's a high density area filled with condominiums and apartments and close to UH. Then again, Waikiki is very close as well. Good luck !! :-)...

IB first impression and continuing impression for me - Excellent !! :) Any glitches are addressed in a timely manner and company listens to its customers. IB is constantly making improvements.

dlincke... sorry about the problems you're having. I do like your sense of humor though - I couldn't stop myself from laughing. :D "Today I received another cryptic failure email from them about my address document not being readable even though by now I had blown everything up by 100% so...

Cesco - "You guys don't even know the bounty has been $25,000,000 for a long,long time. Is this a serious thread or a joke? " You need to learn to read more carefully. Crazy_trader reported last September that reward was increased to 25 million.:eek:

I wonder how the guy fooled so many people - even the press. At least some folks realized he was a scam from the start. The guy sure did live it up for a while... nice women. :D

I think Soros is a naturalized American Citizen. So there may still be an opportunity for US Citizens to set up a legal offshore trading business to minimize taxes and that is compliant with IRS regulations. This is a very interesting subject - I've thought about doing the same myself. :)...

praetorian2 - the 80k exclusion from income earned abroad looks next to impossible to receive if you are physically located in the United States. I agree - I'd hire a tax attorney before looking into establishing an offshore trading account to lessen the tax bite. George Soros is doing so...

Hapaboy, I have account with IB and use Road Runner. Welcome back to the islands. :)

For a second there - it looked like someone flipping the bird. At a second glance - I'm sure of it !! :D

That's great news about def and IB sponsorship!! I'm on vacation in Laos at the moment. Vientiane, Laos is a charming city (a lot of French influence) and the people are great. Can enjoy a pitcher of Beer Lao for $ 1. Breakfast (2 eggs/orange juice/croissant/coffee) is just over $ 1. It's...

def - that sounds great. It's a very reasonable approach. Wirelessbull3 :D

Baron - you may not realize it but having def on Elite Trader has likely increased the popularity of your site. That can only be good for your business IMO. Advertisers should be happy - they're getting a lot of eye balls looking at their ads. Subscriber growth at Elite Trader benefits the...

A coincidence ?? ... :mad: :( First this: "BTW - I am posting as def1 as user def has been locked out from posting (at this point, I assume by some kind of software error)." Then a few days later: [b]"I have been asked not to post and will only respond to inaccurate facts. For now, I...
