That's also no shortning, no spreads, no options....and no computer programs. Besides being able able to read and analyze charts, the key component is insatiable interest.

It can be done...and it can be done by almost anyone who has extreme interest and a few bucks to work with.


One last thing - You do need a trading platform - but you do not need to pay a broker for picks or advice.
A 2.5 month track record? Solid

It doesn't work that way and you will ruin your vacation every time you buy a cup of tea. Thanks but no thanks. I rather enjoy my vacation.

I made that much on less capital. No trading platform. Just momentum player.

I'm not a big risk taker with the bulk of our finances but I do like to play with a few wild cards sometimes. Tomorrow I may need to call our stock broker.
i agree things will be fine. we would have also been fine after the financial crisis, but they bluffed humanity into causing the wealth divide via monetary policy.

Heh.....I've been fooling around with this for the last 8 years or so - but this is by far the best run I've had. Everything went golden as soon as the Japenese turned to negative interest rates. In a 3 week trade with KGC - I netted 92k. And it doubled a second time after I sold.

I'm not sure about you or anyone else, but its literally been like money growing on trees and just walking by and picking it , for the last 6 months down here in West-by-God-Virginia

I sold 12k shares of OAS for 10.69 yesterday afternoon. I bought it back a few hrs ago for 9.81 - by the 3rd of July it will be back over 11 bucks.

The brexit is a gift from the skygods.....

On a personal level, what matters is what something costs YOU out of your own pocket.

I lived in Europe for three years, prior to the EU, and I "bought" every sort of form of foreign currency and kept up with exchange rates constantly. Sometimes a cup of coffee cost me $3. Sometimes it cost me nearly $5. But it always "cost" the same in German marks or Dutch kroners.

I'm pretty good at figuring out what a European vacation is going to cost me out of pocket. I hate that my husband and I went to the UK not that long ago because I probably can't talk him into another vacation there right now. Doggone it!

So you have just been running good lately? So is it really a matter of learning and reading better or are the cards simply falling correctly? I mean a good 2.5 month run isn't anywhere near a 8 year run

It's the niches. I just happened to own shale oil stocks and gold/silver miners when they were/are rebounding out of ultra bear markets. Negative interest rates are a gift - they gave life to a dead monkey.

I've never traded a tech stock or a bio/nano/med stock in my life. Sector does not interest me in the least bit. Never shorted a stock in my life. Not part of my personality to wanna short. Made and lost money on small options plays in Uranium.

I have close friend in Oregon who owns a small logging business -- he made over 450k last year trading options on boutique spirits and fast food stocks.
