Say you have 100K$, why start a business over trading/investing?

Quote from marketsurfer:

Futures can be turned into goods if you take delivery at your front door. I don't believe stocks have this fungibility.

:D :D :)

enough with the formalities, I expect delivery of your stock certificates by noon tomorrow. I will kindly dispose of your stocks at market rates.

Although there is a curious thing with what you say above. If you take delivery of a treasury bond, via bond futures. Is the bond, which is a security, not a good? A stock is also a security, thus is it not a good?

If not, then what the hell is it?
 
Quote from EMRGLOBAL:

I would go the Business route Surf.

Stock market is not the same free market pre 911 and it will never be again. NYSE is owned by the Germans, basically, the bottom line of companies are cooked and the GOV manipulates the market worse than any 'Insider" i have ever witnessed.

IMHO, the Markets are DEAD. No one I deal with and I mean 0% of the wealth I deal with put new money to work in the US STOCK MARKET in the last 8 or so years.

Most only hold 1% of their net worth in the US STOCK MARKET.

People are fools who really think that they will become wealthy by playing the stock market if they lackl capitalized.

Enlightenment, Entrepreneurship and Entertainment are my 3 Es for the rest of my life.

Day traders are dreamers for the most part as are most who have 5K or even 20K in an trading account and are leveraged 100 to 1 in buying power. FOOLS.

This country was not built on the stock market. The stock market was a place for the Privileged to put some of their money to work.
The average joe did not have access to the market like he does today.

The average Joe is fucked out of his money by most Financial Institution, BUcket shops, Brokers, etc.

The Financial System found out fast that the illusion of Wealth would create such a huge money make stream when the Average Joe jump's in the Stock Market. And they did for 20 -30 years, rake in billions.

Now the STOCK MARKET is a breeding ground for TO BIG TO FAIL SOCIALISTIC CORPORATIONS who use TAX DOLLARS to Re balance their 10ks. This money is taken by force, in the way of taxation from the citizens of the US>

Who in their fucking right mind would want to be part of that system?
Game over.

Now its time to create wealth one idea, one brick, one service at a time.

All the others, will be broke before this "Depression" ends.

Sounds like another failed ET trader if I ever heard one.

All that matters to me is making bank week in and week out, you can call what I do whatever the heck floats your boat :D
ok, chef. I prefer accuracy but to each his own.

surf:D
 
You spelled "chief" wrong, but no one is worried about your accuracy :)

Like I said, YOU can call it anything you want. I know that it's a business but won't argue with you about it anymore.

No, it's Chef. How is the restaurant business?
 
Speaking of chefs...

Every jabroni thinks he's gonna start up the next Olive Garden, but most of 'em end up begging a cranky, foul-mouthed Englishman for help to stay in operation:

Good thing I don't have to look at charts to trade hoping patterns repeat. See surf report part 2 for an update on the trading.

best,

There is no hoping involved, they do...again and again. All I do is wait for synergy across my metrics to form and BAM, a trade is placed. Gotta be able to wait though, this is not a game for the impatient :)

Ok, chef, whatever you say. I see you have the BAM part down--emeril would be proud.
