+15.57 percent in 38 days. Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

It's nice to have one of those slack jobs (for a brokerage firm, no less, but under contract so the professional rules don't apply to me) where you can monitor the financial markets throughout the trading day.

It's even nicer when you have a volatile, uncertain market and a lot of sheep volunteering a little wool.

So how do y'all invest your ill-gotten gains?

I pay for all my software except the GPLed stuff like the GIMP. I get most of my productivity stuff at edu prices and I pay for all my games. I have quite a few shareware apps too (mainly Panic's stuff because it is so good).

Ill gotten gains currently means finding I have an extra tenner in my bank account. That quickly goes on wine, curry or the gym.

In that order

The cool part about real estate is you borrow other people's money then make a return off of their cash. Not your cash.

You can do that with any investment, it's called buying on the margin.

The padawan is actually half correct. What is the world coming to?

Buying on Margin

quote:
RULES FOR BUYING ON MARGIN

After the market crash of 1929, the government enacted laws to help prevent the practices that led to the crash. Federal Reserve Board Regulation T sets margin requirements. Regulation T requires that the customer put up a percentage of the total investment amount. The Federal Reserve Board sets this percentage but changes it periodically to keep speculation under control. Currently the margin requirement is 50%.

Only "illegal" (as in not permitted within the account) for IRAs and certain other tax-deferred retirement or education (529 and Coverdell) accounts.
