You guys are lucky. Australia is one of the nicest most friendly place I have ever visited. I have still to meet nicer, more genuine, and decent people than folks from Adelaide. Man I need to go back! Cheers!
Alex in Oz, Manfred123 Do you fellas meet others or are you solo players ? What do you fellas trade ? Elsternwick and FerntreeG are not too far away from me at all. There are a small handfull of us that try and meet once a month for chats. Everyone is welcome. Saxon22 Where are you from ? Did you get to Melbourne at all ? Cheers!
There was this Jewish guy I know, who thought that just because he was a half decent chess player, also thought he had the ability to trade options... In the end he blew his business... his house... his marriage.. then blew his brains out. Good riddance, I say! People like this give us a bad name. In the end he was just a gambler. There are many like this.
I'm essentially a buy and hold investor but dabble < 5% in options, currency futures and other speculative rubbish. I work alone..... Wouldn't mind meeting up with others though.
I have visited the following places in Australia: Sydney, Alice Springs, Urulu, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Melbourne, Canberra, and Brisbane. All lovely places and full of wonderful people. I also travelled with two guys from Australia for a while when I visited Spain, coolest and funniest companion by far.
Hi Alex of Oz, Obviously we move in different circles,but I can only say as I find! Did you catch the the program on Russian traders who had become filthy rich[some were billionaires] trading the markets. Pretty impressive considering the short time in the capitalist free markets. Best Regards Johno
