I guess the other poster forgot about BP so I didn't blast him.

Now we have Harry's brother Larry looking pretty ugly too! Harry Reid's brother accused of DUI, battery on an officer http://news.yahoo.com/harry-reids-brother-accused-dui-battery-officer-231625863.html

And it clearly suggests his bias towards illegals over US citizens. What's the harm in telling local cities and towns if these illegals are being placed there? Further, these kids will be enrolling in schools so there is a need to know from a funding of schools perspective and potential staffing.

I disagree, at least in some cases. We have 2 local hardware type stores that have been here for 30 - 50 years respectively. They were here long before Lowes or Home Depot. Sure it's tough to compete with the bigger players but these are local residents and the stores are in at least the 2nd...

Radio Shack is a corporation. Big difference between a corporate entity and an independent store. It's sad that so many people don't support small businesses. Instead they go buy everything at Wal-Mart and whatever big player is out there. Sounds like you're one of those people. Nice try on...

Yes, we had some sent to our state. And when the governor inquired as to where they were placed the answer was basically "we're not telling you". S.C. leaders said Tuesday they still have not been given information about the children, who were taken into custody after illegally crossing into...

Hey if they've survived against the likes of Amazon they've done okay. And the $3K is after salaries and wages. A profit is a profit. And seeing your wages go up by $28K due to minimum wage hike is the reason it will close. Maybe you buy everything on Amazon but there are people who support...

The sad fact is many Americans don't have a clue as to what is really going on as far as the economy or anything of consequence. Rather many sit around after work and watch reality TV shows. But liberals cheer this 'great' news on unemployment and Odumbo makes sure to bring this up often...

Minimum wage hike causes bookstore to close. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/small-bookstore-to-shut-down-because-san-francisco-hiked-minimum-wage-to-15-per-hour/article/2559725 Everything Odumbo keeps proposing has negative consequences. From the free college to the big hike in minimum...

And you nailed it .... hard work. Like anything in life nothing typically comes easy, it takes effort, mistakes, learning from them and persevering. Same with any professional athlete. Many aspire to make it but most don't get there. Similarly many want to trade but a lot of people fail for...

How about HHI, as in my User Name? :)

No, I didn't make my money in another career. I merely saved enough to start with $90K back in 1996. You do understand how much one could have made in the last 19 years trading (and investing) I assume. You do understand the concept of compounding ..... Think of some heavyweight like Ken...

I find it even harder to believe that you either (a) didn't read my posts or (b) didn't comprehend them. And trading $150K one can generate a very good return and roll excess profits into longer term investments. My trades are day trades, swing trades and buy and hold. My annual return is not...

Actually it sounds like you can't read. Why trade with more $$$ when you don't need to? Oh well, reading comprehension is an issue with some people.

Back in 1995 I did swing trading while still working. After a year of that I felt I was ready so I left my job in April 1996. I think your proposal can leave a guy dragging from lack of sleep.

I don't think it's a good idea to quit your job to have enough time to trade. Don't give up an income if you're not yet ready to go full time. I think if one is going to be totally serious about trading and they want to succeed then they should approach it like any business venture and (1) have...

I'd say at least 25% minimum is wasted $$$ spent by government. Many employees who just coast each day, have little to do. But the reality is once they have their budget it's virtually impossible to see any reduction. It was similar in some corporate entities. Use it or lose it and near the end...

I recall when I traded in an office we'd pounce on new stories when CNBC was blaring away. Get a bunch of guys to buy (or short) whatever was being talked about. And with fractions things could move really fast. Then exit ... and wait for the next one.

I already posted I was a former engineer with math background. No trust fund etc. I was single at the time and lived below my means so as to save up the $$$ I felt I needed to succeed. I met the woman I married13 years ago. She was well aware trading income was my sole source. Last, ocean front...

Nice history that goes back to the old days. A few related points from my recollection. You mention many of the stocks you traded .. to add a few more you had DELL and most any large cap tech stock in late 90's. A guy in our office I traded in could make $40K a day trading 5K blocks of DELL...
