It's a personal choice thing if you ask me. I net a bit more than that annually with my trading. I've been trading my own portfolio now for over 17 years (the first six saw me basically break even too). It pays the bills and has a low stress factor. I have no trouble keeping focused in my own...

I got lucky, I've had Boeing in the portfolio for just over four years now. I wish I'd been less spread out in the portfolio when I bought it too. Hindsight tells me I'd have done quite well had I been in JUST that one. While the portfolio overall has not done bad, there were a couple of...

In some peoples minds that's the ONLY reason that he could lose for, if he's a democrat. Democrats are the only ones who can experience "LEGITIMATE" racism. The Steele loss was closer to what you imply IMHO. In the eyes of many he deserves to lose because he left the folks. The underlying logic...

You should move HERE! I live in the west loop (live/work rental, 4,000+ sq. ft.). I have several associates and friends who are all over the south loop area. I just sold my Streeterville condo at a healthy profit and I'm looking to get something south in the next 12 months. I am looking with...

Not even close! :)

That kind of rate can get you some great loft style live/work space in the west and south loop areas. I have an associate who just rented a duplex loft live/work space (south loop area) for $13 a foot. 20' ceilings, gas fireplace, 1-1/2 baths, center island kitchen. He even got 3 months free...

In any event I am happy he didn't become president. Just once I'd like to hear one politician stand before the masses and say, "I made a boneheaded statement on my own here." To come back and TRY to explain it as bad comedic license and timing is an insult in and of itself. The very thing he...

And then there's this: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/nearnorthwest/chi-0610310247oct31,1,7742460.story?coll=chi-newslocalnearnorthwest-hed Maybe we should pull the police out of there? :)

You call it racist? I don't see it that way. His statement would easily cover my thoughts and abilities and I'm African American. There are several of my peoples communities where I do not feel safe, day or night. And I would easily feel afraid for him to be there after dark (even though I...

We have armed gangs running around our cities also. They are killing each other regularly. Yet I hear no major disgust or outrage. Could it be because we have no US military role there? African American Males killing African American Males over drug turf that neither owns. But they are...

Too Funny!!! :D

You are also not getting the hard core gang members that much either. I lived at Scotland Yard on Broadway (4247 to be exact) in the early eighties and I am very familiar with the area. I handled renovations of buildings on Sunnyside, and over on Sheridan. Got my properties from Uptown Bank's...

The seven buildings that they were talking about were mostly the low rise properties that started right off Chicago avenue and went north. The CA study for the high rise buildings was never totally released. They did address one of the larger buildings on the Clyborn end, but it was one that had...

A good portion of these crimes are being associated with residents who live in the near west and northwest sides. Very close proximity to the crime areas also. A quick check with the local police rolls at hearing time will show you just what you are dealing with as far as those committing the...

Almost totally off here. A few years back the residents had a major altercation with the CHA police and the Chicago police department in which they were able to hold off the both forces for a while. It was at this point that Cabrini was added to the list of projects that would be dismantled. At...

Been a while since they were first too! :) ------------------------------- Intel To Land First Blow In Quad-Core Fight With AMD Intel's first quad-core x86-based processors will hit the market in November and be used in high-end gaming systems. Its first mainstream desktop version will...

I currently run several quad core processor machines and I tend to agree with you. I do a lot of data warehouse stuff for clients. I am also heavy into SQL Servers right now. I normally say hold off to new tech stuff and this will be no different as client level introductions go. But I have...

Welcome to emotion trading. I have been doing something similar for many years. I truly trade the emotions and/with the framework. Every now and again I'll throw in some technicals to validate my feelings. But for me, the entry and exits happen in what those who know me call a gut feeling...
