Will take all of this underadvisement, but Sydney it will be, if it happens -- out of my hands, the locale, I am afraid.

Thanks much for the reponses; if anything else coms to mind trading or lifestyle, free free to post. I'll let you know if we make the move. Btw, I have been trading US futures and options, except for a recent disastrous foray in the NZ dollar, so I guess I'll have to learn Asia.

What credentials. too! Anyone know how much these second tier CNBC women make?

It looks a little like Patricia, although she was white blonde two summers ago, I guess. I could only really tell, though, if I saw a chest shot in a black dress that had a square neckline. She wore it numerous times. Had less make up and didn't tweeze the eyebrows. But it could be her. Yikes...

Nope it was a different blonde. More Pixie like. I think she reported from Germany. This was two summers ago. Not Silvia. This one was only on CNBC Europe. Pixie like blonde but buxom.

German or Swedish or something? I thought for sure CNBC would import her to the U.S. Truly awsome in that Nordic way. Or maybe she was Russian?

This is a possibility for me. Just wondering what the job/trading possibilities and community were like in Sydney. Would be going as a corporate spouse. Wondering if there was a Wall Street there. Chances for a U.S. to get work papers, even in financial journalism or publishing, if not trading...

Thanks much.

Anyone doing this trade? Thoughts on the fundamentals (bad) relationship to gold and AUS?

How much can I contribute to each kind of plan? Any caveats?

Let's say I'm trading out of my garage, and in addition to, say, being a college professor (can't beat the hours), I'm pulling in 40k-50k a year almost exclusively in options premium, varieity of types, equity, index, futures. If I incorporate, can I park my profits, short-term, in an IRA? If...

Thanks. Follow up: What if 1-5 percent of my trades or so are equity option sales? Mark-to-market?

I sell futures options, mostly, run my own and some friends and family. Not much 300K or so. Is there any reason to get a CTA? I know if I were doing stocks and equity options getting a Series 7 would get me risk margin, as opposed to Reg D. But is there any advantage, with regard to margin, if...

Thanks. With the 10-year at like 5, I image we're talking like 2.75 ticks per basis point.

Is there a quick back of the envelope way to guess how much interest rates will fall or rise when the futures of say the 10-year, rise or fall a certain amount? Looking for something I can do in my head on the run, not a formula ...

Scaling in over a couple days versus taking a position in one fell swoop: Preferences? Rationales?

Understood. Apologies if I sounded condescending. We all started somwhere. Your plan sounds as viable as any. Socal will be expensive, but offer so much more, especially at your age, in terms of salary/income, life experiences, people, etc., than SoFla. Good luck.

Yes, I can see trading from exotic locales, but the most recent poster was asking about a place to find a high-paying office job as an economist or something, so he could bank some money to use for trading down the road a bit.

And what will he do there? Bartend?

Warm climate + good salary = Southern California. It used to be that the cost of living in South Florida would offset the lower salaries, but no more. The area is fast becoming almost as expensive (and as crowded) as the Northeast and SoCal, although the tax benefits are still nice. If you're...
