DO you have a passion??

[Iceman]

That is a shame IMO.

Anyway, to answer the question, I guess I have two passions. Numbers (mainly various forecasting methods, not gambling related), and booze.

what I mean is time is money and if you are wasting your time doing something and not being compensated the right way/amount for it than you should reevaluate. Sort of like a scoreboard in sports and caling a timeout if you are losing, if you get what I mean.

I have a very fuffilling life and I love the challenge of making money by using numbers, my brains, and some risk taking instead of some guy that works doing a montonus job.

The way to look if you are doing things right in my life/game is to look at how well you are doing on the money end of it, it is sort of the way to keep score is how I meant it. I was and am not trying to be shallow, it is not at all what I am like.

well Journey, as you may know......... ive owned a convenience store for 11 yrs now......... my 15yr old has grown up in it........

im now looking to live my dream and become a fulltime trader....... 50k minimum for me.......... thats what i feel i need to make a good go of it..

there are riches to be made in commodities but its very risky and not for most people but those that take the time to learn this business, can be rewarded greatly.......

My uncle's had a few 50K hits in the gold and silver market...I am a believer just havemt had the time and extra money to make a serious run but feel I am closer to doing so now.

BTW, I tried to get that movie tonight and it wasn't in.

just be very careful in the markets, they can chew you up and spit you out..

my 18 month plan is to be debt free, completely............

have 100k on a CD and 50k in my trading account.............

if i can get to that point, im going for it..........

if i blow the 50k, ill simply buy another business with the 100k and still be debt free........

499 more days to go......

Reading. Politics and related debate. Photography (new hobby).

 

[Journeyman]

I've got a decent amount saved and plan on using all my extra money I make this year for investing....I am ultra conservative, I never take a shot unless I have plenty of bullets to reload with lol.

If I blew 50 this year in the market it wouldn't be the end for me....I've paper traded for a couple years on an off....maybe we can start a weekly trade chat or something.

Harley Davidson's and riding them all summer. Coming home after a long day of riding, cracking a cold beer and washing and waxing the bike.

You ever have a bad wreck on a bike?

I ride jetskis/waverunners, would love to get a bike but I fear crashing.

 

[Seymour]

I would love to get a custom bike - but I know the more I ride it the greater the chances to fuck myself up are.

Well Jman,,,,,,,, just keep watching : May soybeans, corn, wheat, soybean oil......... april live cattle, lean hogs and the emini sp 500 market.......

thats what i trade........

and like i said, currently long 2 may beans from 794

if you want to keep up................

turn to CNBC during the day........... every 10 minutes, they run live quotes for the commodities........ in the crawl on the bottom..........

look for SK....... thats may soybeans................ it will come after, gold, silver, then copper, aluminum........... then they have corn, wheat and beans.........

cant wait for those 10 minute crawls........... also have 10 min delayed quotes on computer and talk with broker many times during the day......

used to have live quotes with esignal but find them as harmful as helpful but thats a different story for a different time.........

U know any websites where you can chart for free? I use to pay for a service where i could chart 1-2-3 tops and bottoms and chart for free...it automatically calculated it...

I know some services offer that as part of their service if u open an acct with them.

Do you look for 123 tops and bottoms?

 

[SSI]

no, not really Jman......... Ken Roberts made that famous......

sometimes they are useful but ive found --- they fail just as many times...

i do belive in chart reading 100%.......

but basically, i believe in buying pullbacks in bull markets and selling rallies in bear markets.........

also really pay attention to outside days in the markets.......... higher high and lower low, within the same trading session.......... this will often point direction......

TFC........... or Free commodity trading charts......... thats what i use alot..

just type in that..............

I've been riding bikes for thirty years and never even tipped one over.

 

[VaultedTreehouse]

Horse racing, even outside of the betting aspect. Reading, research, other connected to it....Reading nonfiction in general.

 

[SkinsRaj28]

I think SkinsRaj is masterbating...

Nah...it's actually quite depressing, sitting there, covered in semen, crying hysterically.

Hold up, I gotta go masturbate. I'll be back in a few.

Kid , you ever go down to Ocean City, they have a large tournamant down there, I believe its one of the biggest Blue Marlin tournaments on the east coast...the ocean is easy access because of the inlet there that was formed because of a storm many years earlier....ever been down there?

 

[kidslick]

I have been to guatemala / brazil for sailfish /blue marlin

I have been up to Nova Scotia for tuna fishing

Its a passion for me ( but very expensive) wish I had more money to play more..

 

[Iceman]
