A friend and I already have an entity that invests in Forex and does well.

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. !!!

Brandon, Depending on what your are looking for ex.

You are a "Trader," for us who trade in the Markets.
