I am also an active trader for my own personal accounts, trading a pretty wide array of asset classes; stocks, options, warrants, futures, bonds, currencies, and am just starting research in mortgage notes.I've got a few rehab deals under my belt the last couple of years, and I am looking to begin ramping up my efforts.I'll send you a Colleague Request.Regards,-Rob 

I come from a stock options investing background so I'm trying to figure out the parallels to the various strategies available to an Options trader - like call, put, straddles, butterfly, spreads etc.   

In NYC, where studios can be upwards of $1.2, I wonder the same thing -- but sometimes i see the salaries and some starting doctors are over $500,000 base + 150,000 bonus.... bankers -- front end + traders are at this... all at age 29.... real estate sales people, depending on the deals you do and who you know can make $500,000 on a few deals...

I'm pretty sure the German surrendered in May of 1945 and the Japanese surrendered in August or September 1945...I think most people would agree that was the end of WWII...And, of course, the terrorists must have surrendered in May of 2003...otherwise, it seems weird we would have declared Mission Accomplished...

Did the traders just have a free ride for the last 2-3 years?  

Would love to find a group to grab a cup of coffee or a cold beer and trade real estate stories and ideas with.

coffee shops that call coffee something other than coffee, tight pants, short running shorts, Trader Joes, lots of bikes, attitude glasses (non-prescription), wine and tea stores, mustaches, edgy (slightly pornographic) art, etc.

Let's look at Japan, which goes along with Europe missing a recession, we can see that Japanese exports have fallen off a cliff by volume.

Especially because, honestly, a G37S doesn't look much different, on the outside, than any other late-model Japanese car.
