Hell: I've only been at this for two years or so and even I'm doing way better than that 'NOW' and I stress the word 'NOW' i.e. for the past four months or so. Whether or not consistent gains over a period of four months can indeed





Uh. One question: do you think that if I could CONSISTENLY make 50% - 280% gain on capital per month then the likes of Morgan Stanley would offer me a job??? Man I'd love that!!! It'd be a 'classic' 'rags to riches' story!!!

Hey dpaterso..I take no offense whatsoever. I am glad you do better than that. The truth is I could probably risk some more and make more...but I guess I am more of a Warren buffet type than anynthing else. I like slow, consistent, stress-free growth. When it comes to forex, like is said, I am a newbie, and alot of what I did in stocks doesn't really work as well. It translates but really needs to be tweaked out. I use other people inputs in forex and try them, adjust them and either keep em or discard them all together. I'll let you know how it goes.




My friend, if you are making consistently 50% to 280% a month..WHY would you possibly want to work for MSDW or SSB or anyone for that matter. If you are making that kind of return (assuming 50% monthly), and start with 10 grand you would compound to about $775 K in 12 months. No need for any firm. No need for suits, and ties, and competition..just you, your return and the rewards of not answering to anyone. 50% return a month IS a rags to riches story.

Take care and good luck.
