I definitely do need to respect the market, thank you. Sorry, I reread my post about the golf - didn't come out right. All I meant was that it would take a lot of time and practice to even have a chance at being good. Definitely the free mentoring thing was too broad a stroke as well...

Wow! This is a lot of advice especially if you follow up on all the extra links, threads, etc. - not to mention reading the longer threads around here to get a feel for who everyone is. To know who and what to listen to has its difficulties. I agree that I need to start in a specific area, I...

I don't mind the hard work. My wife and I tracked every single item we spent on for a year. We broke it all down into categories to realize exactly where we were spending. Then made adjustments and began reducing costs and paying down anything that had interest attached to it. Now, we only...

I have $25K sitting in a checking account that only earns about 4% a month that I would like to start trading with at some point in the future. I am new to all kinds of trading and need to learn everything. Here's a bit of info on me that maybe would help in what direction you should think I...
