 Not fun?! Blasphemy I tell you! Blasphemy! lol

 While in Hawaii, to be on this forum, you really, really have to be a fanatic.

 Haha, well I sort of went to Hawaii in the first place to focus on investing so it went hand in hand. Nothing like chilling on the beach with your feet in the sand... and a full WIFI signal, haha.

Sorry boys, been to Waikiki, there;s just no possible way I'd have my face crunched into a 'puter screen...there's just too much distractin' goin' on...I'd wind up buying C and shorting BRK....all the while happily oblivious.

A man's gotta eat...plus the ladies love the sight of a keyboard jockie doing high-speed options spreads.

Get up in time for whatever market(s) in the world you're playing that day, hit it for a couple hours, beach the rest. I'd call that heaven.

3 and 4, something I always wanted to do. Still in the learning process and probably always will be. Maybe get a little more serious next year.

It's a silly commercial, they have a guy that role plays over the phone as he trades.
In one commercial he see's a girls name on the caller ID and as he picks up the phone he says "Get me two million shares at $50 per share, and don't settle for any higher price" and then he answers the phone like he doesn't know who called.

I play to make a living. . . . . if others can do it, why can't I?
