The Bernie Madoff home game. http://www.suitablyflip.com/suitably_flip/2008/12/the-bernie-madoff-home-game.html

When my mortgage is due if I go to the banker and say "I don't have any money, but I have a shit load of traffic on my new fancy pants web 2.0 site" how far do you think I get with him?

gnome did you see the article on bloomberg, that if you took your money out because you suspected it was fraud they can consider that some kind of "insider info" and take your money back. I dont remember the link, but its here on ET someplace. Its something that maybe a lot of Madoff investors...

Not to bring politics out of the political thread, but I always find it interesting how "open minded" democrats tend to be the most closed minded and quick to judge of anyone out there.

One last example of a guy who does mentoring and coaching online for a product and makes a lot a nice living, both at what he is teaching and at teaching. My friend Curtis has a poker training site. Curtis is a pretty good poker player, he made about $140,000 last year playing and just under...

I just don't agree with this, obvioulsy I have a little bit of a bias but I think that people simply do not think about how much money is available in the education field when they make this statement. A guy like Ken Roberts, who made his money before the Internet even came out, has a net worth...

Your trying to make a rational arugment with a rock, or at best a five year old. Good luck.

I think Madoff is likely has a sociopathic personality, which makes him unable to feel anything related to the pain and loss he has caused other people. He will only be able to feel the pain of being caught, and even on reflection of that he likely thinks he is smarter then anyone else and will...

No, its not.

I have the POTENTIAL to be POTUS (Just ask my mom if you dont believe me!), but unless I get off my ass and start making contacts, get involved in the right political causes etc it does not mean shit.

A triple bottom is a terrible pattern on average to buy. More money can be made, with less risk on average, by shorting it.

Often it's small things that can have large effects on our bottom line. Here is an example which uses a trade I'm currently in. I shorted AAPL earlier this morning and stopped out, later it gave another entry and so I am now short AAPL again, this time from $86.80. My risk is $1.25 on this...

Youtube has no banners, but they do have PPC video which they just started. I have not used it yet, but I know a few guys who are and they are getting a great ROI out of it.

How do you run a pre-boot scan with a vista machine?

quantcast is a much better sourse of info on traffic. They are still liars claiming to have 100K + people coming to the site, but its not as bad as alexa shows it to be either. About 5600 vistors a month.

They use them because sizzle sells. The most successful tactic actually is usually to sell the sizzle and not focus too much on the steak at all anyway. Personally when I see someone offer "secrets" and the "Tactics they don't want you to hear" I try to get a look at the steak, to get past the...

which ones can you name that are profitable? Again these sites are great for getting traffic to your site. I know a guy who has made over half a million just because of twitter- but twitter itself has not figured out how to monitize it's own traffic. I love web 2.0, it's the easiest traffic you...

I'd think it's probably a bit of both. Obviously a trader is not successful, no matter how happy he is, if he can not generate a profit. On the flip side though I'd also say that a person is not successful, no matter how much money they have, if they have not found happyness in themselves.

This is, at least to me, a very interesting episode of David Susskind's show where he interviews various successful businessmen/woman and entrepreneurs on what it takes to become a wealthy. Now if he can just have the show on learning to spell...

Because asking the typical American to either read or think is like asking water not to flow. To not flow would be against waters nature, just as the act of reading and thinking seems to be against the basic nature of the modern American.
