    Anybody trading currencies?

    if one is swing trading with 1 trade per day on average, I don't see the downside to using a firm like Oanda. Would anyone say that Oanda is pretty good to trade with over a longer period? (not scalping?)

    Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money

    ThunderDog you make some good points. In fact I am not a huge fan, buying all the crap he sells. My point has always been if someone is completely new to finance, or understanding how their money is being spent, this is not a bad book. For example, my girlfriend knows absolutely nothing...

    Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money

    i buy my cars off leases and I end up selling them a year later either making money or break-even, so the car didn't cost me a thing other than insurance and repairs. The car is run off my companies name, so I don't pay for it with after-tax dollars. I don't see that as too complex...

    Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money

    i'm in toronto, but I have friends out in London and Waterloo. So many of them have bought houses, and a lot are variables, which is fine for now. My 'conservative' friends have lock-in for 5 years. I tell them be careful, rates can rise quite a bit, and they all laugh. Of course, my...

    Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money

    Kiyosaki has mentioned numerous times that he doesn't recommend people doing exactly what he's done, but merely talking about what he knows about and his experiences. There are many ways to make money, no doubt about it. But I also think that the debt cycle has to end, and the books really hit...

    Swiss Bank Account

    having bearer bonds for your corp account is not a scam, at least I think so. I'm not familiar with the details, but as far as I know it is a viable strategy. I think talking to a professional at this point would be a good idea. Anyone else have any input in this regard?

    Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money

    i agree that this book is short on details and heavy on the 'ideas' of creating wealth. I don't think that it's such a bad thing considering the number of people who spend every cent they have. But this book, and there are many others like it, are just the beginning. This book and all of the...

    Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money

    the sad thing is that it IS common sense, yet we all fall into the trap, or at least most people do. It is very hard to go against the grain. When you start making money, and you see the guys on TV with all the toys, it is hard to stop yourself from doing that too. From my own personal...

    Playing the Saddam Gap

    I think it will be very interesting, at least over the next few days/week, if this was the last bit of good news, how much more is left to the upside? Other than great GDP and Christmas sales, there isn't that much more upside than the possible negatives - ie. continued possible attacks, was...

    What does it take to become a currency trader?

    currency trading for a big firm is like all other positions at big firms, they like that you have a degree from a big-name college. Having said that, F/X trading usually has more turnover than other more prized areas, such as fixed income, and you might be able to get in as an associate for a...

    How many does daytraders make in nowadays markets?

    back to the original question, it is possible for both pro's and retail to make money. You must use different methods for each and you must have proper stops and test your plan before putting your money out in the market. There are people who make money in anything and people who lose...
