    Becoming Trade

    EXECUTION 
    Oh it definitely takes more than a corporate website. Just make sure that it looks professional and really well put together. I get deterred by suppliers with a site that I think I can build on my own in a day- kind of means they just slapped something together and are hoping it makes them $...

    Fed up!!! Going back to a 9 to 5 life !

    Okay, now I know, and you know- why you are in this business. Next question- is what is going on/the hardships, worth the gains? ... I want you to say that to yourself every single time something goes wrong. And just see it as a stepping stone you have to walk* over to get to the other side. I...

    EXECUTION 
    Update- 1. Found a buyer of an average 500 KG a month for a specific product. 2. Sent emails to 2 small suppliers and 3 large companies. (I want to see if the smaller guys are hungrier? and thus willing to sacrifice some $ to get a steady sale.) 2a. I will call* them if I don't receive a reply...

    Becoming Trade

    EXECUTION 
    To be trade, is to be the go-to of trade itself. The man in the middle of it all. Forget banks is what I want to say. Leave the software alone, forget stocks, that is not true trade. Forget brokers, dealers, agents, people on commission, forget the middleman. Why forget them? Because I want...

    Sometimes it is not the person who cannot do something, it is the something that the person should not have chosen to do, that stops them in their tracks. Why are you in this business? If it is based on- I like spending time with xyz, and notice that such time spent is a drain on you...perhaps...

    Might as well share with the rest. I have a bachelors in Accounting, should I get my masters too? CPA, state of New Jersey- nope, I don't do taxes, audits, or anything else accounting related. I have an alarm clock that wakes me up at 5:30 every morning. I stare at my ceiling, rationalizing...

    Swing Trading $5K (How to lose most of your cash)

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I don't dabble a lot with stocks, because it doesn't offer that "guaranteed" rate of return you can almost "guarantee" yourself if you opened a business or loaned it at Lending Club or something else like that but... The best time to buy is when no one in their right mind would buy (because...

    Look up Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.. All people need, food, shelter...etc... When the world goes bust, and the USD is not the reserve currency, nor is any paper currency (Which I suspect will happen in my life time ...I'm only 24, won't explain why in this thread, feel free to ask or open a...

    I don't really mind that you lost this bud. Can you just tell us what is on your mind now? What did you learn? What do you suggest others don't do, or should do if they want to try trading stocks etc. WOW us with experience you have gained, NOT results, though if greatly positive feel free to...

    I don't know how many people know this- But we do understand that the Chinese Government is playing with the currency exchange rates for their country right? They are the largest manufacturer, in the WORLD, as a country. Doesn't that mean the demand for their Yuan will go up? Because need...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I bolded the above most important part of the message. I don't understand why people break apart just because of the mentality differences. I find it is easier to just reframe the situation. In a post above that @SteveO made, there was a divorce that took place. Was it not possible to just...

    Its not just the incoterms- though I did bookmark the site for future reference, thanks on the link. A step-by-step type of thing doesn't exist which I wish did, payment* terms, as in, L/C, T/T etc. I have a few potential clients. But I fear that one way or another because I haven't really...

    Swing Trading $5K (How to lose most of your cash)

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I've dabbled in trading securities in the past but what I liked is the fact that diversification can lead to profits, as the losses of some will offset the gains of another. I think the banking total was over 6k? No diversification- since you're at 873 shares at 6.9$... all eggs in one basket...

    Its the terms I have a problem figuring out- there isnt a single all-in-one site for me to learn all there is to learn :/ You're a trade broker- so, you take a % commission off of all the sales you make for your suppliers/customers, helping companies sell overseas for a steadier profit. I liked...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I have to say I love the book you wrote. I read it in 3 days. Thinking I should reread it...slower and by taking notes? I like how it offers a philosophical approach to some aspects, but then also offers real-world implementable ideas/suggestions/acts like a guide to follow to start a business...

    Honored to see that you read/replied to my post. Greatly appreciate it. And you are right, too many I's is one of my problems. Should be focused on you, and others- with what your needs/wants are. It will be very fun/interesting to be a part of the group here. Thank you for the welcome, MJ...
