Psychologically, you'll never be able to handle this with real money.... You'll never be able to sleep at night... It's the journey, not the pot of gold at the end, that's most important...

As Rodney King say, eoddata.com should be your first choice. Your second choice would be to write your own downloader. I wrote my own in Perl - building the list of stocks by starting at the Sectors pages, and parsing the Sector and Industry pages to build a list of all the US stocks. I...

Are you still in high school? The market doesn't care about you, your trade size, or anything else. It's faceless to you, and you to it. The market is inorganic - it doesn't have higher-order consciousness and therefore doesn't have the means to "think" or "perceive". It just acts...

Let's combine your suggestion with a plus/minus infinity rating on a post's usefulness/relevance. Posts with a 0 or less rating (or some other hurdle) would not count towards the total posts by that user. Implementing this system, I imagine well over 95% of your posts would be below 0...

This is very true... Say what you will about Kiyosaki and his books/programs, he hit the nail on the head with Cashflow Quandrant. Programmers and other "technicians" fall in the lower left quadrant - the sole proprietors/craftmen. They are neither employees, nor businesspersons, nor...

Yeah, and muscle gainer, diet pills, other supplements, Jenny Craig/Weight Watchers no longer appeal to the public... Problem is that the market is too small and the product/service doesn't hit the sweet spot - it doesn't solve an overwhelming problem brought about by irrational need. The...

Build it and they will come ... Nice fairy tale answer!

No, the tenants complain to the local housing authority saying the landlord didn't keep up with the repairs. The HA inspects, and withholds payments until you fix the stuff. Even though the tenants caused all the damage. They get to live in the house rent-free at that point until you...

Highcharts isn't too bad. I use it with HighchartsPHP so I can write the page in PHP. All my stuff is static and hard-coded at the moment. I'll be working to change it to be updatable on the web page.

Having been a Section 8 landlord, I can tell you that the quickest way to get out of the real estate business and seek greener pastures is to rent Section 8. Yes, the rent gets paid, but at the end of the year, all your supposed "earnings" go back to fix up the house for another loser that...

Choose what's important to you. Only you can decide. Unless HFT destroys the markets, it will still be here when you decide to come back. Not if, but when. The draw will be too strong... And programming will always be around. You'll be able to capitalize on your previous...

Meanwhile, no one ever mentions the idea that since 50,000 BC, approximately 90-120 Billion people have come and gone on this rock. 75-105 Billion of those people have come and gone just in the last 109 years. Add the 7 Billion currently living, and we have a whole lot of carbon dioxide...

The calling doesn't occur overnight... It takes hundreds of hours of persistence before a change occurs in your brain. Before the proverbial lightbulb appears. Only then does the unknowable become known, the unattainable becomes attained, what was difficult becomes easy. Are you giving...

Programming can be added to the list of items that falls under the 10,000 hours rule... Unless you're an INTP/INTJ, then it'll drop to under 5,000 hours, possibly under 2,000... For those that do not know, the 10,000 hour rule is a guideline that suggests it takes 10K hours of...

Eyez - he's in New Zealand... Huskeez - I don't know NZ's tax rules. I can only relate US tax strategies... Eyez pretty much nailed the liability issues for the US, but not the specifics of taxation from an active trader/investor or equities/futures standpoint.. One would hope NZ's...
