ATLien is right about choosing what you love to do. If you don't get rich - at least you were happy - and that counts for a lot, some would even pay hefty for that feeling. I combine my interests and hobbies by using what I've learned from working with IT and systems into applied methods that...

Read a lot - but about the mistakes of others and try learning what not to do. There is no certain formula for winning, but you can try to avoid the honest mistakes of others. Trade like you are only going for survival like others have told you. Money management is the key to survival. The...

The software industry is much stronger and more secure wrt employment than the financial sector right now - why would you want to jump ship? Wouldn't it be better to grow your salary by shifting jobs a few times and shopping for better offers? India consumes all new engineers they produce...

One Al-Qaeda attack and we will see prices over 150 easily. :D

Well, it is a global economy after all, and the US will never be sidelined by any means. But a return for the USD is something I strongly doubt. There are some fundamental changes going on, and the US is not at the center of these - in a positive way. With the trade deficits and fiscal trouble -...

I see ... With a very US-centric viewpoint you're saying that other countries who were in an economic slump in the 90s and into the y2k, and who are now enjoying some rise in their economies will start fearing recession. While the US who was on top in the 90s and start of y2k, will soon again...

Brazil with their poor educational system (one of the worst in the world wrt actual student results) does have a lack of professionals and the tradition/know-how of such professionals. Lastly, China has cheaper labour and produces better quality ... :D Brazil is chock full of chinese...

Butch, does this mean that we should all be long USD, since you can always butcher EURUSD bulls? I thought the USD was only paper money supported by an illusion that if everyone poor their savings into US (stock, derivatives, real-estate ...) markets we will all be saved ... :P

Hopefully, the Mars missions will find proof of life ... end all the religious hogwash which in the US is taken to extremes ... and that will solve the financial problems in the US for the longer term. It will also avoid the US of going to war based on religious prejudice - which is a huge risk...

Hi, I'm from Europe but have lived in Brazil basically since 1999. I think I've learned a lot about the country and the people here in that time. Brazil is around 190 million people, and just like other large nations - they easily get lost within their own problems and issues. Brazil has...

Hmmm, Amanda. The US - women will at least take half of what you own, a veritable police state where they will incarcerate you for any suspicion, call a lawyer on you and make your life a living hell and the women consume so much pharmacy products, consult psychologists for whatever weird...

The union is a bit flaky, but I think they see it as the seed to start fending off pressure from the US and EU, while they can continue to get another leg to support their growth. However, heads are hot here in South America. Argentina is snubbing Brazil for wheat/flour exports, and Brazil...

We saw a prolonged period (last 2 years) with a small range of movements for long periods. I mused that it would be dipping and popping around 1.30 for long periods, but it was 1.20 and 1.25 instead. The tendency/characteristics were the same as I was anticipating, but the levels were not...

I have lived for a number of years in Brazil and am still living there. There is no doubt that Brazil has seen it's growth in exports which have been fast and tremendous. Much of this is connected to China's consumption - and trade between the two countries have skyrocketed. Brazil is a very...

Thomson financial - www.ifrmarkets.com They're quite ok.

That's the real world, alright. It's always been like that, and always will be, in my opinion. It also applies to all facets of life, even your girlfriend ... dude. :D Talk about stating the obvious. Also, I don't see anyone but do-gooders talking about the good of multi-culturalism, but...

I am from one of the nordic countries in europe and moved to Brazil some years ago. I have blond hair, blue eyes and easily get sunburnt. I can say the same for all my family. Still, my genetic composition is not the same as yours, or anyone from my old country. It's the stupidifying of...

You have obviously a lot of strains of nationalism in you - part social-nationalism it seems. You claim libertarian values, but you are for strictly governing borders, and claim "genetic extinction" if races mix ... I don't think the thing about the sheets was that far away still, Casper.

Hey, whimper-wimp. I'm just paying you back for your childish retart earlier. If you had done the least of background research, you'd see that I don't back off for anyone. So, I'm continuing to prove you wrong, and you are backing down on the statements you came with earlier. Don't you have...

I don't get the flavour you're smoking around here ... India is a super-large democracy with some of the most multi-cultural, multi-religious societies if there ever was one. The old greeks had multi-cultural societies and democracies. It's the US which has a very tightly integrated history and...
