+1 i agree- hindrance is a good word

the rich pay all the taxes, it's something like the top 5% pay over 70% of all taxes, and the bottom half pay nothing. i'm tired of hearing how hard taxes are for the majority when damn near half of people don't pay taxes and simply were the recipients of free money in the form of tax refunds...

nothing makes me laugh more than posts like this. sure the US has terrible health care (?) - that's why the rich and the politicians from foreign countries always choose to come to the US for their procedures as their #1 choice. show me the foreign politician that flew to cuba for his...

eliminate the constantly biting edge from the currency exchange market makers of import / exporting on an export driven nation.

the most important thing is to find a good mentor / teacher. if you have to figure it out yourself it will take you much longer and is much more difficult to succeed- if you have someone showing you the ropes you are more likely to do well by all measures, but then the quality of your mentor...

i could teach someone on paper what i do in a week just as anyone could memorize a football playbook in a week- but when it comes down to reading the defense or reading the price action, nothing can replace the experience absorbed over time.
