Hi, this is probably a newbie questions, but Im curious as to what you people think are plausible answers. So far, from what I understand to gain an "edge" in the markets, you have to exploit a certain inefficiency. Generally people don't like to tell others about these, because the more...

well it is DEFINATELY not on my radar. I read that post a few times and I cant really figure out what he's talking about. If anyone would care to explain in stupid-guy english, I would certainly be interested. Thanks.

Yeah, the account in HK is something like what I was thinking about, except it wouldnt by _MY_ account. All of the assets would belong to the Offshore company, of which I would be the only employee and director. I think this wouldnt be illegal accually, unless I did not pay taxes on the money...

Hi, I am completely new to trading, so this might be a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway. Do any of you use legal structures based in other countries to avoid US taxes on your trading? A lot of business based in Bahamas, Nauru, etc, get substantial gains with tax avoidance through measures...

I'm pulling in about 3.4 Million a year so you can heed my advice. I would advise opening an account ASAP, leveraging to the max, using chinese chopstick charts, and going for the gusto. Otherwise, the market will just cook you up a batch of panty-soup. I think they should have disease...

Hey, I have seen this mentioned a few times, and some of you posted about your power trading jobs with energy companies (yes YOU pongu ;D) seeing as how i am kind of floating around not doing anything with my life, this piqued my curiosity. Are they looking for any specific experience or...

Companies don't manufacture in Africa for a variety of reasons. A lot of people not familiar with outsourcing/offshoring look at it from a 100% shipping/labor costs. Low socio-economic status Asians tends to have a particular mentality (IMHO) and worth ethic that is EXCELLENT for labor-output...

Hi granville, Thats an interesting idea. I have never seriously considered it before. Beijing isn't my favorite city by a long shot, but HK wouldn't be bad. From what I understand, most MBAs in China are bought by businessmen with lots of guanxi (connections), and hold little water and...

ssternlight: There are other not-so honorable reasons to have an MBA: social status (important for asian business i believe), personal satisfaction, to subdue my inferiority complex? It seems as though many older people regret not going to grad school, and I do not want to regret that...

I enjoy music, and sometimes i wonder if i should pursue it professionally. however, unfortunately i am not idealistic or romantic enough (perhaps i should work on that), and i realize statistically speaking, there are many more successful business people/business owners than there are...

Hi Everyone, This may not be the best place to ask career questions other than trading, but I saw some other threads regarding careers, MBAs, life paths, etc. There seems to be a large pool of MBAs on here, so it worth a shot. Basically, I want to tell you all a bit about my situation and...

pongu: good job man, if youve recently finished college, got yourself a 60k job, and are pulling in 120k a year from trading, you obviously have something going quite well for yourself. ;)

Thanks for the tips guys. I opened a demo this weekend with FXCM, and i'll play around with demos at oanda and other places for 2-3 months before I put money on the line and feel confident enough to actually trade. Ive found in other "learning endeavours" that online forums are generally one...

Hi, I am new to forex, and new to the TA aspects of financial markets which from what I can tell, is how forex is most often traded by day traders. I'm not looking for a one-easy answer of a course or something to give me a forex trading stategy that will work in one go. I believe in soaking...
