So I bought a stock that looked like it was ready to turn around. It started to, and the chart started to look like it had a chance. It was making a new short term high, and didn't go below the last low. I was pretty...

brian_s You are right that I need to learn to keep my emotions out of trading. I hope I can learn to do that.

I just had a thought... If you get paid for every 6 page views on bukisa, and Traffic Exchanges give you hundreds or even thousands of views a day... can you put your bukisa link in a traffic exchange and get payed!? I think it is...

brian_s From what I understand, you can do that (unless advertisers you use for your blog don't allow exchanges). I have never had any luck with traffic exchanges, but it is worth a try.

brian_s I have not written anything for AC for a long time, but I really did like it when I was using it. Payout was through Paypal, which I loved. While payout per article was not "good" in relation to "real" publishers, for these types of things it was quite good.

I was surprised to see that they changed the way they are paying. I forget the exact details, but for those of you who didn't know that they have changes, it may be a good idea to go to the site and check it out. First of all...

brian_s You just have to have the 40 ratings within a 90 day period, and they can be spread out or done all in one day. I have less of a problem with the need to rate (although that does bother me), than I do with how they rate my ratings.

www.couchsurfing.com is a site that allows you to register to host people from all over the place, and also request that someone lets you stay at his/her house for a period of time. It is completely free, and I think that the...

brian_s Maybe the site would be useful to you then. People leave comments about the hosts (and the couch-surfers), and so you can read what people have said before deciding. I agree that unfortunately it is more dangerous for females to travel.

brian_s I understand your concern. But I feel like there is less for me to worry about since I am a man, and my alternative would be a hostel.

brian_s There are plenty of ways to do testing with a group of people before making those changes available to everyone. Using general statistical principles, you can deduce from a sample whether the majority of people will like the change. At least that is how I...

The UK has become the home of real crackpot Government ideas recently. The latest thing to spend our taxes on is "Food Police". Apparently every British household throws away something in the region of £600 of food each year. The...

brian_s No argument here. Unfortunately you are right. The gov'ts in both of our countries are becoming more and more oppressive, and yet the average person does not see it happening.

brian_s I absolutely agree with this. It is not worth posting on here for the money. The money is a great bonus for being on here and having fun. There are much easier ways to get money than being on here. But there are not many sites where you can have as...

brian_s Just make sure that whoever you go through guarantees that you will not ever have a negative account balance. That is what I liked best about this company. It sucks to lose 100% (which is very easy when trading anything with 400:1 leverage), [i]but it is worse...
