The traders? 

The great billionaire market trader Paul Tudor Jones talks about a 5:1 risk/reward ratio.

(Ok, perhaps that's a little too pessimistic).It's just when I look at my portfolio I think "man, I should sell that (real estate, stocks, forex, metals) before it drops like a rock" and then do what with the money?

So in time* Iv been a stock and ETF trader since I was 18 and buying bits of gold and silver for a back up if ever there was a down fall in my life.

Second option- arbitrage in the Forex markets.

I didn’t even read the post, but just going off the title I’ll tell you not to trade rent for work.

I fell for the I will trade rent for work back in 1980 ish.. did not work then does not work now  :)  about the only way to consider it maybe is they do the work before they move in.. try that one and see how many take you up on it. !!!
