I love it when people from CA move here.....that means more Trader Joe's and tri-tip steaks!!!!

I grew up going to the Hulen mall and these days do my shopping at Trader Joe's on Hulen.  

I know people who make much higher returns but they're almost acting as day traders, and are extremely active and well averse on the site.

I have a friend that is trying to get me into forex trading.

That quest ended me reading Flash Boys, books of Barton Biggs, Reminiscences of a Stock Market Operator, books of Tony Robbins Market Wizards, Tower of BASEL, tRADING IN THE ZONE, The Millionaire Mind, think and grow rich, youtube movies of "Wall Street", Boiler Room, Enron, Epic Trader, Meltdown, Million Dollar Trader, Barbarians at the gate, Margin Call, Rogue Trader, Floored, The Big Short, Last Days of Lehman & you name it.

Work as a plumber full time/trader part time. 

It is a reflection of trend and more importantly is what traders think the trend direction is.

My favored gold market used to be the gold spot in FOREX.

I am also a stock and option trader so i already believe and have profited from technical analysis so i know it works and have studied for a long time.

Traders at the hedge fund level do not want to waste their time with people who do not behave professionally.
