No problem. Best method really depends on WHERE your friend lives & WHERE he/she intends to do business & which country he/she's citizen of. LLC's for trading??? Pfffft...

What's 1000 times worse is Americans go die fighting in Iraq so the Iraqis can show their appreciation by awarding business to the Chinese. Screw US 'foreign policy'. I'd never go die for crooked, stupid politicians.

WalMart sucks. Cheap stores & cheaper customers. Yuck!

EWO has about 40% of assets in banking/insurance/finance. (It's a country fund after all!). http://quicktake.morningstar.com/etfnet/Holdings.aspx?Country=&Symbol=EWO If you want ETF's strictly for the banking sector you'll need to trade the ETF's listed on Xetra or NYSE Euronext...

Why bother with the BS American stock market? Leave it alone. Let the HFT'ers screw each other. If the fundementals were good, there would not be a 'liquidity' problem. Fact is, the fundamentals for the US market suck & the smart/big money will not step up until they see clear bargains...

How do you trade now? Which software are you using?

What's the use of these rating agencies? Morons are always behind! Looks like they're nothing but a salesman's tool to sell shit... Look! these securities are rated 'AAA'!

Yeah, Obama is going to dive down there himself in his snorkel gear and plug the oil leak himself. If there's somebody to blame there, it would be the head of the government dept. that oversees how these companies are operating & if they're doing so in a safe manner.

Has he paid his back taxes yet? Did he file this year?

Oh I see, the oil companies do a great environmental job when the government lets the free markets 'do their thing'. The same with the banks. Ditto for credit card scammers. On & on & on to just about every industry. No, we don't need regulation. Let them stuff your food with shit...

The SEC fools ought to TAX the HFT leeches an amount so that they make up no more than say 30% of all trading. Say the way it was 3-4 years ago. If that means taxing traders/investors 1/2 cent or 1 cent a share, so be it. I'm sure the government could use the money.

Risk what? He said he won't be employed. Is he paying social security taxes? Then he's not employed. Whatever he'll be doing in Chicago, he can do from anywhere else.

Funny you mention the issue with living in a coastal area. I feel the same way. Another one is mountains. Gotta have those mountains! Whenever I'm in a place like Florida, I start thinking of heading out to where there are mountains. So, since I need ocean & mountains, it kind of narrows the...

There's a lot of blogs out there on the stock market but when you dig a little deeper, many of these people will admit to not trading/no positions and are writing a blog for other reasons. The same for many of the media/internet sites. It's their job to create hoopla but the fact is the...

That's good. In fact, it'd be even better if MORE people didn't give a rat's ass about the bs stock market. There's still waaay too much interest. These things have generational cycles.

NO. The only ones who'll tell you yes are newbies & dreamers (usually the ones who recently joined this forum). If it were possible, where are the long-time successful FX traders, then???

It seems the US congress only acts if the public gets outraged about an issue and the general public has NO idea of any of this stuff unless someone prints it in the NY Times, raising a stink. The SEC morons seem to be too busy jacking off/watching porn on their pc's. Anytime they even...
