mkmps - best that you stay in the U.S. You would upset Uncle Trajan too much in his failing grasp of crime statistics and reality in a foreign country bigger than the U.S. Please enlighten me as to which country that you have lived in that you can describe without a trailing #$%* "I sure as heck would not want to be a gringo with no fluency with the language, blonde, blue eyed roaming around the streets of Rio at 3AM... " Vulture, would you like to rephrase that terrific observation, considering that you have never set foot in the counrty much less Rio?
thanks for discussing remote trading in this much detail. To me the major part of why day-trading is so attractive is cause you aren't really tied down to a "cubicle" and with a little creativity and "balls" you're not tied down to a country or a continent. I've lived in several countries thus far, and it seems like I have an opportunity to re-invent myself yet again... in Brazil.. I not overly worried about crime, - yes I will be a bit different at my height and lightness, but hey, I won't be wondering around at 3 AM in Rio. You're subject to crime anywhere, - so what if someone takes away $100 bill, no problem, I've been ripped of WAY WORSE by my broker/MM/specialist before, and I can't even complain The matter of fact is that If I move there I'll be going for a great reason, and that is all I am really concerned about. So long there's my woman, great food and beer, a church, - I'm happy. M.
I have traded in Singapore/Malaysia, France/Italy and the USA(West Coast) All you need is a good broadband internet connection Will be moving to Europe next spring for 1 1/2 years, either Italy or Andorra - check out my pre trading stomp for Italy and Andorra http://www.hola-andorra.com/caldea/gpi1.htm http://www.consorziomaronti.it/ BTW, try being blonde haired, blue eyed in South Central Los Angeles at 12:00 noon - crime is everywhere
Why? Are you working for the Brazilian Bureau of Tourism? Common sense is common sense...I have been to many countries around the world and you better have eyes in the back of your head in many of them...
Would you please explain in what way Brazil is bigger than the U.S.? You are simply factually wrong. I'll drop the crime thing as mrkmps is cool with it. No need to discuss it any longer. I'll just say this; When somebody responds to a legitimate point with an intellectually lazy response of calling them a bigot, I won't let them get away with it. It's the type of arguement you'll find on an indymedia site. Use facts, not epithets.
Those places are pretty cool and cheap. I have thought about spending January in Singapore; it has one of the cheapest Four Seasons in the world(that should send Reverendtrader into a tizzy). Actually, a good friend of mine is a trader(in the historical sense of the word) and travels the region. It may be a shock but I have actually been to Hong Kong and Bangkok. HK is cool, but unfortunately, too cool in Jan. There are a lot of blond haired, blue eyed people in South Central LA but they leave by 5:00 p.m. It is twelve a.m. I would avoid.
singapore cheap? really? that's interesting you say that. from my research it appears to be one of more expensive places on earth, from a cost of living point of view. maybe for short term holidaying it's a different story, but i can't see how (apart from cost of 4seasons). i'll have to check my facts again.

"Also, those who are not ready for a cultural shock should move to the far South, where more European/American-like people can be found." No since traveling the world anymore, because - gasp! choke! there might be culture shock! (I won't go into my opinion of the real reason of your statement - the word R****T comes to mind) What EXACTLY do you mean by more European/American-like people?
[What EXACTLY do you mean by more European/American-like people? [/B][/QUOTE] Surely those with European backgrounds etc, rather than indigenous South Americans. A lot of Brazilians with German backgrounds.
