In my experience, "secrets" are just obvious investing strategies that smart people have already (or will) figure out, and less intelligent and less motivated people will never figure out.And you can tell a less-intelligent and/or less motivated person anything (including all your "secrets), but they are unlikely to implement them due to their lack of intellect and/or motivation.As another example, I used to play poker professionally, and after some big tournament successes, I got asked all the time by newer players if I would mentor them.

Used to play professionally before I moved to a place where there is no legal gambling...still travel a couple times a year to the big tournaments...In addition to the Harrington tournament series, I highly recommend the Full Tilt Poker Strategy Guide for Tournaments...

Like a game of chess or poker, you always have to think 5 hands ahead.

Not forging, but milling and turning.Blackjack and video poker would be my preferred games.

Everyone needs to understand it is a poker game.

Real Estate is like Poker.

Then I would clone myslef to be at two poker tables!

Don't play online but I do watch the poker shows on GSN.

I am also planning to attend CFRI Poker charity on Sep 26th night to do some networking.I would be more than happy to use the services of BP members (agents, mortgage brokers, real estate attorney, Title Company) for mutual benefits.Any suggestion about the area and general market condition in Orlando will be much appreciated.cheersNil

Does stock options, professional poker, and very stupid, very large bets qualify as "art" when it comes to making money?
