What An Ass Whoopin

#51
I still do occasional consulting for a very smart guy up in Chicago who founded his own trading firm. He's got his little operation across the street from the Sears Tower, piggy-backs off of the super fiber lines of a bigger firm in the building, lives and sleeps on micro changes in stocks and has made a lot of money. He has also had to go home, twice, and tell his wife that he's lost the kids' college funds.

I'm just smart enough to know that I'm nowhere near smart enough to play the markets on my own. That's why I pay a smart guy to manage my investments. I don't understand a single thing he does, but can see the gains to my account. I don't need to know how the sausage is made to enjoy the Andouille.

You guys dropped some Good information. Thread and VA, well done thanks.
I am looking into it. knowledge in this arena comes slow and painful.
Just made another 120 .
Keep in mind I am doing 5 minute binary Foreign Exchange. Nothing near as complex as what you folks take on.
With that said I am still being Very cautious and looking into your comments listed above.

Why do your old posts show up as "Guest" and that account appears dead?

I just made 160 bucks in the last 35 minutes on 5 min binaries using MA KDJ & RSI indicators.
However, I will take your comments to heart and look into them carefully.
Thanks for the heads up.

I have 5 guys working for me in the restoration shops at Schloss Nitrocellulose.... fixing old shit. Including me billing for work... In the last hour, I made $510. After salaries, taxes and stuff... it's less. Then again... no overhead! Everything I have is paid for. But if you think $160 in 35 minutes is winning... Pshaw.... You are far better off with 5 plow trucks and a few zero turn mowers and a boatload of minimum-wage Haitians charging $---whatever per hour to mow lawns and clip hedges in summer and plow driveways in winter. Because your gambling compulsion is chump change.

$160 an hour in a casino... is luck. Not earning money. Just ask any plumber or tradesman with a few trucks and some hired hands.

Then stop gloating about stepping over dollars... to pick up dimes.

Cheers,

Wasn't gloating. I was saying that after the colossal ass whoopin I had last week it was refreshing to have a little come back.
I was still out working today. Like you, everything is paid for and my bills are few but I am looking for something new to do from home and this caught my eye. I will ride it out for a little bit. I have allotted a certain amount of funds for this project. When/if they are gone I will stop.

PS Congratulations on your successful business. Rare indeed!

I tend to think that if you are still on “the right side of the grass” it is a good indicator that she still loves you and is less interested in being the beneficiary of said policy. I am also not naive enough to think that “she” (generally speaking) might not wake up on any given morning and think Hmmmm........:unsure:. It’s the roll of the dice called “life”.

I thought the stock market might be a good fit.
Turned out to be financial cancer.

A dollar has a lot of value to me. I put about 120 hours and 3500 into this project and got my ears pinned back. Time to lick the wounds and take a nap.

Now I have to find something new to do.

The new offering for Crypto Currency keeps advertising on the radio.... Just $5 gets you in. They have amazing buzzwords and fancy-pants names for things like mining and paradigms.

And with their name www.bitcoiin.com I don't know how you can miss! Those guys are all billionaires.

BTW, don't go there unless you have a good Virus Scanner on your computer or phone. My threat alert came up flashing like a neon sign on the Vegas Strip when I went to try and check these guys out. On Behalf of Bunny!

Cheers,

There is a saying in poker - If you have been at the table for 20 minutes and don't know who the patsy is - it's you. If you are trading without having some understanding of the answers to the questions you are asking and advice you are requesting, there may be a parallel to be drawn.

I don't understand Bitcoin at all.

However I will try to educate on this stock market thing. It is fascinating. Not sure if I will ever trade again but would rather buy some stock and let it sit.

^^^ Don't bother on the stock market thing.

Come up with a widget. Build it. And laugh all the way to a bank. Patents are your friend.

If you aren't the type who can come up with an idea that will generate massive patent revenue... come up with something that you can pay other people to do.... and bill them out.

Forget the stock market. It's not intended as a get-rich quick scheme. Even if that's what it's become.

Read that book I recommended. Seriously. (not the For Dummies book... The Millionaire Next Door.) It's about people doing simple, often dirty jobs... and doing them well. And becoming incredibly successful.

And remember the old saying... "The harder I work, the luckier I get."

When you understand the line "He saw a bus turning a corner, expertly steered... " You will get the idea of how work equals reward... Read that book, too.

Cheers,

Sirhr

Bitcoin isn't worth the cost right now.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/mar...eate-the-cryptocurrency/ar-BBKgRCY?li=BBnbfcN
When it was up around $17,000 there was a report that said banks and banks of high powered computers set up to mine bit coins in parts of the world. there was (could still be) a facility in china that was identified by intelligence services. It was using more electricity then the entire country of Argentina. Also stated that the mining of bitcoin worldwide was using more electricity than 159 countries. If bitcoin miners were a country they would be 61st in energy consumption. my point is you missed the boat and are out of your league now that the criminals have gotten a hold of it.

They are a fine place to work, especially if you are elderly or infirmed. They are also always hiring greeters and shelf stockers. It's a great foot-in-the-door for a go-getter. Soon you'll be selling nailguns and giving sheetrocking demonstrations in Aisle 33! I'd say, a good career move!

Cheers,

PPB use the money to fund a start up. Maybe a company call Cameraflage. You can make different scenes that hang on that wall like those roll up pull down maps in school. You know the ones like the old window blinds. Why. You call in sick "hey boss I am at the hospital wont be able to work today". So you just pull down the hospital scene behind you before you do face time with the boss. Or You want to go see your girlfriend so you pull down the scene of your office at the GF's house and call the wife "honey shit hit the fan here I will be working late". There are a million applications.

Also you can market little stickies that fit over your cell phone cameras to keep folks like the NSA from watching you pick your nose. Of course they will be reusable and they should leave no adhesive on the camera.

Instead of investing in the next big thing...Be the next big thing. :)
