You Full-Time Traders - What is it you call yourself?

Quote from ps0013:

I trade full time, but I do work F/T
but when I can quit I will just tell everyone I am retired...

im curious, why? work and trade full time?

I haven't been able to be consistent enough and build my account enough to make enough money to quit the job that pays well

I bet they love you at parties. You're the guy getting tarred and feathered right? :)

I say "I'm a futures trader" which creates the questions "what are futures" and "do you work for someone." Choose what you say based on your audience but remember that helicopter pilots get laid more often than accountants!

And even the guy picking up trash on the side of the highway may do better if he drives a nice car.

In another year, I might start getting small apartment houses again. I got out when prices went up. I like older rentals that can easily be converted into single family - dual use. Even better, in a large college town where there will ALWAYS be students. Rental is as close to cash flow as there is.

But right now, they are still too expensive. I would like to get some older, owner-financed triplexes-fourplexes from bankruptcy, when we go down another 30% or so and there is blood everywhere... Who ever lowers rent, after all?
