I'm a young man in decent shape, not 7% bodyfat, but then again I do not aspire to be that thin. I eat basically what I want, just in smaller amounts than what I used to. This includes meat. sometimes theres nothing better than a good marbled steak or a big juicy hamburger. I have gone more...

If you are good at what you do and your investor (family and friends) understands how the game is played then why shouldn't you trade their money. As long as they understand that they can lose it all and are ok with that and they do not foolishly give you all of their savings or retirement...

If the price only dropped below one tick and you were not filled it might be due to the spread. Your charts will either display the bid, ask, or the average of the bid/ask spread. If you charts display the bid then the ask price that you would get filled at may have never dropped below your...

Does anyone have any experience with trading from funds within an IRA? Specifically under this situation: My wife has an IRA that is funded from the proceeds from a previous marriage. Is it possible to set it up so that I (her husband) can trade from funds in the IRA. This is of couse...

Brad, I do not have the IT problem as I work for a small company that is a consulting firm. Besides most of my coworkers are retired and the atmosphere is extremely relaxed and open. I do have to leave my desk for several hours a day to attend meetings for our clients though. This is a...

I am a part time FOREX trader since September of last year. I usually trade in the evenings and in the morning. Sometime I will set a trade overnight and check it when I wake in the morning. I do have a certain advantage in that I usually have access to the internet most of the day at work so...

I just recently signed up and have been testing the personal plan over the past week. It costs 35 a month and from what I have experienced so far I am about to cut off SBC adn go with only Vonage. I have a cable connection and so far have not had any problems. I would recommend it to...

For the majoroty of our population to get off of their lazy asses and stop thinking that they are entitled to have the government take care of them.

Unfortunately people are short shighted when it comes to investing in the future. Large scale programs like going to the moon will probably not pay huge dividends for our generation but should pay enourmous returns to future generations. The biggest impact in the short term is to keep our...

I have been very pleased with OANDA. However their charting is not suffecient for me so I use another charting program, metatrader, for charts. A lot talk about FOREX brokers is at Moneyec: http://www.moneytec.com I would try there for a descent review and some opinions of FOREX brokers.

Check out Toshiba. They make a satellite that has a 17" screen and is pretty fast. I use one for trading and work and I find it is great. The screen is wide enough to put a couple of charts side by side without having to flip. And performance is on par with my desktop.

I do not trade for a living yet. I do understand your point on probabilities. However assuming the maximum that you could ever be out is roughly 1 million without insurance (I've seen it happen, but they had insurance). If that 1 million hits you late in the game then it is not too big a...

Maverick, Your idea is reat until some unexpeted accident comes along and puts you in the hospital. I had a three day stint in the hospital a few years back due something beyond my control. The bill was just over $12,000. At the time I was in college and fortunate to still be on my dads...

Down in Texas, chainsaws are cool but there is nothing like emptying a 30 round clip in a couple of seconds. Just don't touch the barrell after your done. That's not fun.

Guns are not the issue, people are the issue. All a gun does is allow a messed up person use a gun instead of a knife, sword, baseball bat, or whatever. Guns just happen to be the weapon of choice for our time. All gun control does is make it harder for honest law abiding citizens to own...

I pay for health insurance for me and my wife out of pocket. Our plan is basically for major medical emergencies only and covers little else. With a $2,000 deductible it costs me about $210 a month. For a $1,000 deductible it would be almost $375 a month. If your employer does not...

Error, Shellback is correct in saying that I trade with OANDA.

A big draw to spot, at least for me, is the cost of entry. I can open a trade for as litle as a dollar if I so choose. The broker that I use does not have standard lots so I can tailor my risk management to fit a small account. My account size would not even allow me to open a positoin with...

Did anyone who watched the 60-minutes catch the BLACK lawer who was interviewed (I forgot his name). He very bluntly stated that the minorities should stop the whining and complaing and that ANF has every right to hire who they choose if that fits the corporate image they want to project...

I will have to admit that the majority of the folks in the US do not care to take responsibility for the dumbass things they do. But then again why should they when they can just sue someone and make a million. It really is sad. Even worse, is that the legal ststem in the US allows that kind...
