  1. Well, my wife does most of the managing, so I can't really take credit for that! We started with one dog in 1992 (he turns 16 in February) and I brought home the first stray a little less than a year later. We got heavily involved in rescue work, and ended up with this foster staying, and then that foster staying, and so on. There was no plan to have this many, believe me! But we realized we were good at caring for them, and so here we are today. 10 of the 13 dogs are between 12 and 18, so we're facing a lot of loss over the next few years. We've had 10 dogs die in the past five years already. Not easy stuff to deal with. Our house is pretty low key, they all get along, and mostly listen to mom. Once I go full-time with trading, she'll be able to devote all her energy to them, which is what she's been wanting to do. I would strongly suggest against having as many animals as we do, and also running a petsitting business that can have you on the road 12 hours per day... not the best life to choose! :doh:
  2. Anyone here tried their indicators? They make it sound like their "squeeze" is the greatest thing since sliced bread, supposedly better than any other similar indicator. Everything on the site seems to be pretty hyped up, not sure to believe any of it. Just curious if anyone has any experience with them.
  3. Hello! I've been lurking for a bit, but I figured it was about time I make my formal introduction. I started dabbling in stocks almost ten years ago, but never found a trading style that really worked for me. It wasn't until just in this past year a good friend of mine turned me onto futures, and the lightbulb went off big-time! I now exclusively trade ES, alternating between 2 tick scalps and bigger plays of up to 4 points. Thanks to James I'm now trading with Infinity, while using Tradestation for charting. My plan is to make this my fulltime job in the next year or so. Until then, my wife and I own and operate a petsitting business, which we've done for ten years now... you go out of town, and we come over to care for your pet while you're gone. So while I'm driving around to client homes, I have my laptop with a Sprint wireless card by my side, allowing me to trade during the day. It's pretty cool to have the market with you on the road... but placing trades at 60mph can be a bit of a challenge. :o Let's see, what else of interest... my wife and I are parents to 13 dogs, 5 cats, 7 birds, 2 sugar gliders, a chinchilla and a bunny. The only thing that outnumbers animals in our house is guitars - I have around 40 of them. Been playing for almost 25 years, but the days of planning to make it as a rock star are just about over. So now I simply enjoy collecting them. TL seems to be a great community. I've learned quite a bit already, and I look forward to discovering even more as I continue to spend time here.
