    Random Rantings and Market Ideas

    So my sister got me one of those Easybuttons from Staples and I decided that I would give it a try this weekend. I decided that I was not going to do much, I'd rely on that Easybutton instead, and I'm sad to report nothing got done. Begads! Foiled again in my attempts to make something from...

    US military must prep for unrest; IMF warns of economic riots

    I've found it very interesting to watch the government at all levels get so involved in these types of things. One of the hallmark traits of an unsuccessful person is that they make the unimportant very important to themselves. It's sad to watch our country do the same thing.

    The Fake Recession! Look At The Growth Of Web 2.0

    You can just use a wordpress blog and they look pretty nice. I've found that a big fancy ass looking site rarely does any better or worse then one that looks like it was designed by a 3rd grader. Again this might not be the case in retail, I have no experience in that business, but it certainly...

    How much would you pay to *know* when the real estate bull market starts?

    Everything always goes back to its historical averages. Real Estate has always been a way to profit by leveraging inflation, with the average rate of increase being a few percentage points per year, which can add up if you put 20% down.

I have been informed that Special Agent Putztardsky of the Department of Internet Consumer Knowledge (acronym:DICKs).

    Revealed! The PERSONAL FINANCES of a Real Trading Guru

    Just for you Mr Sushi. - I started trading in Febuary of 1998. By October I was (barely) profitable. I did not know anyone in the world other then myself who was interested in this "daytrading thing" so I started a yahoo club. It was very simple, I just shared my scanning idea's for the day. It...

    Revealed! The PERSONAL FINANCES of a Real Trading Guru

    I think it has a lot to do with trading, or at least keeping your career as a trader. Most people who have traded for any amount of time will freely admit that risk control and money managment are among the most important aspects of success in this business. I think that the most important...

    Revealed! The PERSONAL FINANCES of a Real Trading Guru

    I imagine that is the direction we would head in. The model that the Swiss use seems to work very well for them, and I suspect if it was put into effect here it would work for them as well.

    Revealed! The PERSONAL FINANCES of a Real Trading Guru

    <b>I DONT SELL ANYTHING TO TRADERS.</b> If I was going to sell anything to traders I'd not do it from ET, but I don't and I'm not. What part of that is so hard for you to understand?

    Revealed! The PERSONAL FINANCES of a Real Trading Guru

    That's not a very good example, at least in my opinion. Obviously you feel terrible for the teenage girl, but the mother has choosen to be homeless for 10 years. (Yes, I think that if you have been homeless for 10 years you are choosing it!) It would be a much more compelling story, one were a...

    The Fake Recession! Look At The Growth Of Web 2.0

    I did not mean for it to sound like an infomercial at all, but I went back and read it and can see that in it. To be clear most business will fail, I think the statistic for business is about the same as it is for traders, around 90%. That still does not, at least to me, change the thought that...

    The Fake Recession! Look At The Growth Of Web 2.0

    Here is another example of what a person can do if they know how to monitize their traffic. I know a guy who has an online poker site, he offers ebooks, coaching and training on how to make money playing poker. I'm not sure how much traffic his site gets, not a ton but it is all targeted. He has...

    The Fake Recession! Look At The Growth Of Web 2.0

    Here is my take on making money online, web 2.0, 1.0, 7.9 I don't care. It might not be worth anything, I don't know. I do think that I know a few things about making money online. By far my most successful online venture was TFMS which made around 250K profit per year for me until Toni and...

    Obama is called a bigot!

    They are all very open and understanding. "Open minded" and "fair" they would probably say....so long as you think what they want you to think.

    Young Liberals : Why?

    Obviously you have not done much looking into this and just accept "common knowledge" as truth. The vast majority of wealth in the United States is in fact CREATED wealth, and while having a nice sized inheritance can go a long ways towards helping you create more, or just sitting around like...

    What Gary is doing is really amazing, and a great example of how a person can get on the net and use web 2.0 to make a very nice living.

    The Fake Recession! Look At The Growth Of Web 2.0

    I really wish that people could see sarcasm. To me it seems pretty obvious if you read my posts that I'm totally fucking around and I think that the guys who are running the Web 2.0 sites are a bunch of idiots. I was making fun of stock turd, who keeps posting threads all over the place that the...

    The Fake Recession! Look At The Growth Of Web 2.0

    Totally agree. Another Chinese site that is doing an excellent job is FaceKoo. There is an interview with the CEO on yahoo finance that is worth the time it takes to listen to it.

    How to become a Millionare

    This is a pretty interesting show, an episode from the David Susskind show on "How to become a millionare". This was back in 1983ish when a million dollars still was meaningful and the people who had a networth above $1million were pretty special, few and far between. Check it out...
