GUYS! this is a "chicken...egg" discussion...you can never win. there is only one thing i can say is a constant in owning your own home...WOMEN. Wives to be more exact. they want to get married, have babies, and have their own home...right? I think probably plenty of guys are content...

i am in a similar situation. To be honest....right now it is really easy. decent volatility, and the moves are easier to predict. i am up 40% this year..it is great. I also use ameritrade...becuse most of my trades are concentrated swing trades of about 1000 shares. It is easy to program...

correct, the hosue you live in is a LIABILITY the house you own for income...is an investment. big difference. only rarely does housing appreciation create a viable short or long term investment. normally is just keeps up with inflation.

Disagree mat. yes, we have 40 years of oil left...that means until the last drop is gone at current consumption rates. meaning evenry minute it gets scarcer and scarcer...meaning the "engergy crisis" start WAY before it runs out...it has already started. why? becuse now we are convinced we...

i wouldnt buy it, but i would sure as hell trade it. high volitility..good liquidity, could be a good short play. there is all kinds of creap people buy or sell for different reasons. look at citibank... until about a week ago nothing but choppy, crappy, sideways movement. that is the...

really? i hate the news...it is often misleading and does th eopposite of what i expect. when i stopped paying attention to the news...i started making a lot more money!

true. lots of people do it al the time, you can control taxes to a point without breaking the law. however, living in the US, with US accounts as a US citizen, and not operating under business structure...your options will be very limited. good luck.

you dont have to renounce your US citizenship to have RESIDENCY in another country. I am a US citizen, travel on a us passport, but do not have us residency.

"making enough" has nothing to do with it. i ahve an offshore account in the bahamas trough BAC San Jose, the costa rica branch of the Credomatic corporation...they are big through latin amerca. I opened the account with $1000, a current bank reference, and my US passport. there is a minimal...

not true. if you live overseas more then 11 months out of the year the first 8-k is tax exempt, no matter where the earnings come from.

wow...i live overseas..there are a bunch of guys here that have no idea what they are talking about....let me go back through these and clarify some things...

if you love it, have desire to succeed, intelligence and discipline,and patience, it can be taught. If those elements are absent...they cant. but in each of those elements, the same elements exist as a subset. for example patience: requires, intelligence, discipline, the love of...

depends on market conditions... trend following has been great lately.

i didnt turn profitable until i started paying attention to CANSLIM. I made a similar system for this that is working well for me. My technicals are slightly different, and i dont use it exclusively, but it is a great screen. I have a trend following and a breakout component that is a bit...

i hate Bush...but i like the idea of legalizing illegal immigrants. they need to pay taxes, and be accountable like the rest of the country. It should be easy and beneficial to be a US citizen...there should be no reason to be illegal.

This is a little premature, but it doesnt hurt to plan early. I have finally turned profitable...YEAH! and found my niche and methodology that works pretty damn well for me. Up about 30% YTD, and think i could maintain a decent track record based on the low risk of my strategy. In three...

i am a fulltime institutional bond broker. Trading is not all that difficult to do part time if you do it with a distinct trading plan, you program your trades, and you have a longer term time frame. I have plenty of time for family, hobbies, and other businesses as well. I only...

i dont trail becuse that particular stop (say 5%, 8% whatever) may not be the most logical place to have it. I normally program my stops around support or resistance...with a little wiggle room. but the other point you made has worked very well for me..."dont have to watch your trades as...

i disagree. i am up 14% year to date, on track for 50%+. I think it would be hard to use one without the other. i didnt start to make money until i used both. I use trendline Volume rolling eps(the fundamental part) money flow and chart all of them. open up market wizards and you...

i use...52 week high money flow volume rolling EPS not the complex things like elliot wave or fibonacci. this is swing trading. I have had a few poisitions a few days...others a few weeks or months.
