A fun thread.

Tell us where you are ........

At the moment it is 11.55am local Hong Kong time (11.55pm NY time) and I am on a Star Ferry crossing Hong Kong Harbour, answering emails from group members and reading some posts here.

If the markets were open, I would be trading them from here.... Forex trading ..The best business on the Planet

Fabulous Hong Kong... The most exciting and vibrant place on earth (in my opinion !!)

I am in the middle of moving. I have boxes to the ceiling everywhere. I have a driveway full of stuff that someone must decide to keep or throw away. This has been going on for a month and the move is Tuesday. I'm excited to get it over with. It's a great house that I have worked hard to provide to the family.
I am excited to get back to Forex. I was supposed to be in Wayne's last group but the negotiating and moving have prevented that. Hopefully, I can get in the next group.
Respectfully,
Dennis

Hi Dennis

No need to rush... I will still be here (or vacationing somewhere else) and trading happily.

I love forex trading... I run my trading business totally from my laptops

Mr. Jackson or Jacko, which ever you prefer. Please let me know when the next group is taking flight. I am a Pharm.D in a hospital and work in the ICU. I have dreamed of at least reducing my dependance on it. Hospital politics are for the birds. I'm not ungrateful b/c the money is great but it's not for me. I want to trade and when I want something, then I like to try and be the best. You will have a hard worker in the group.

Dennis

Oh, I did not start this thread to look for members, but just click on the link below.

I was just enjoying the beautiful Hong Kong Harbour and thinking how blessed I am to be able to trade forex from anywhere in the world with just my laptops and an internet connection.
I was just taken with the magnificence of crossing the Harbour and looking at the Harbour, the high rise towers and the whole city.

I am old school. I had businesses in the days before mobile phones.

To do what I do now is still amazing to me.

It's about 1 am eastern time U.S. Near Augusta Georgia studying charts, analyzing last weeks trades, preparing for next week. Forex is what I do, it offers me the opportunity to stay home, use my mind and not my back to build a legacy for my family. In a few months I will begin to teach my children how to trade so they may never experience the demoralizing feeling of having to cater to the every whim of a narcissistic boss.

Hi iiivb

You have to be kidding me??!!!!..LOL...... I am a techno-moron....... I don't know how to do that....



You young guys have no idea how much the mobile phone and internet has made business life sooo much easier.

To give you youngsters an example...not that long ago, before mobile phones and the internet.... I used to spend 50% of my working time talking to my Secretaries.

In those days, not so long ago, if I wanted to know something from my staff out in the field, my secretary would ring his secretary and convey my question.
His secretary would speak to him next time he wss in the office and then convey the answer back to my secretary.
My secretary would then tell me his answer when I was back in the office.
And then I would ask another question...and so on.
BECAUSE THERE WERE NO MOBILE PHONES

10:24 PM Here in Las Vegas, NV USA.
Ah, I was in Hong Kong back in 2000. A stripper took kindly to me was my friend for a day. Lonely on Valentines day I guess. LOL I've taken the Star Ferry and I really enjoyed Hong Kong very much. Anyways, right now I'm home drinking a few beers and catching up on news and checking some of the fun stuff on FF.

Some new office towers are missing...But that is my adopted City !!!

Talking of strippers, I was down in WanChai (the red light district) the other day and could not believe how friendly all the girls are in that part of the city...They all wanted to take me inside and give me a drink and a massage.

How friendly is that???!!!

I have a big smile of face thinking about that trip. Hope to make back out that way and next time I'll get some suits made. Never realized until years later what a great deal that is.
