    Tell me about North Carolina

    we own property in n.c. and are going back there to live. it is a lovely place and the crime is not bad. lotsa poor folks in some areas and that can be a little depressing if you're not used to seeing it. also you could cut the humidity with a knife; if you're used to california and other...

    Poverty on the rise....and the rich get richer....

    i think folks are too extreme here. there is a balance between personal responsibility and caring enough for others to help them. i guess i wonder why most folks aren't raised with the values that say we should "help those less fortunate" than ourselves. having said that, people have to be...

    Day Trading Firms vs. Prop Trading Firms

    hey don, please clarify for me. why would a firm let you trade with their money and keep 100% of profits? what's in it for them if they get no money up front and no profits? maybe fees?

    Any part-time trader here with a proper day job?

    lol- well, i hate to buy into your stereotype, but i myself blew it out bigtime when i was first starting out. very ridiculously impulsive. i'm more of an engineering/math/analytical type, though (which women aren't supposed to be either, btw), and it only took me a year of blowouts to learn my...

    What should I trade???

    i'll add my 2cents, although i am admittedly not a futures trader. from what i understand, futures trading is extremely risky. while i, like you, wouldn't mind learning more about it, to trade it without being expert would be foolish, in my estimation. options are a good way of risking less...

    how much could you make in 1 year from £60k($100,000)??

    i make 10% on a bad year, 30% on a good year, and i'm happy with that. i don't understand futures, so i only do stock equities and options. also, i do puts but don't short stocks as a general rule. if i think it's going down, i buy puts.

    Banning Illegal immigrants? Wouldnt that destroy the US economy

    i'm amazed at how anti-immigrant (actually, just anti-mexican) folks are on this site. cheap labor is cheap labor. folks better think twice about kicking out the foreigners. it may affect YOUR cost for goods and services.

    does the money make you happy?

    agree with most who say that money doesn't buy happiness. it does, however, buy a measure of freedom, security, and more options for life. i would say, like others have said, place your priorities on loved ones, friends and family, keep grounded, but enjoy your earnings. it is a valuable...

    Any part-time trader here with a proper day job?

    interesting to me that most people on this site are male. none of the males i know are any good at trading. (but then again, neither are the females i know - lol). my significant other thinks i'm a genius, and he's right. he loves it that i trade so well.:D

    Any part-time trader here with a proper day job?

    until recently, i worked a regular job and did swing trading only. now i am taking a sabbatical and trading fulltime, but still not comfortable with day trading. i do occasionally jump into hot ideas that i get from cnbc (like buying puts on the recent bol scare). but i never risk a lot of...

    My dilemma - too good to be true? How long can I last?

    i for one would like to congratualate you, cheetos. i too have made great trades in a winning streak, only to have the streak ended the following month, so i agree with proceeding with caution. however, your trading style is much different from mine and you may be a person who can consistently...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    with regard to paying taxes, i think both steve and spike have a point (even though they are in disagreement). agree that one should be willing to pay a fair tax for social services and the other services a government is providing. however, in almost every case, one can disagree with how the...

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    well, stevieboy, you sure have stirred up a ruckus here. lotsa europeans on this site. with regard to las vegas, i have one word: eeyuck!!! it's strictly for aging moral degenerates with no life and no values. with regard to europe, i would say not my cup of tea, but i have friends who...
