Hey Mouse I don't suppose that you are related to Steve Bradbury by any chance? You never know leaders all might fall over on the last lap. I'm only $400,000 behind the front runners, and hoping desperately for a whole bunch of eliminations (no disrespect mikat et al) (Latin abbreviation for - and others) to catch up

Oh look at that first on the new page - is that an omen or what!

Discipline and persistence are two personality characteristics that are highly rewarded when used in the trading business. To those that place hundreds of trades/day during this competition, you have these traits. Why don't you find and then exploit a small inefficiency (arbitrage) in the real market? You guys/gals could be earning a new Maserati each year.

This submitter somehow discribed me to a tee.
I practice this daily.

I dont remember putting anyone down other than the competition runners.

This is called a forum so that people can put there thoughts forward on it,
if you 2 have a prblem with that then maybe you should email each other direct, so you dont have to read what we have to say.

Rampage thanks for the update

Have a difficult job in a difficult and high pressure industry, drop in from time to time for a bit of light hearted banter (sadly lacking in my work environment at the moment) Deal with legal eagles, word play, pedantics, and people generally trying to take advantage as and when they can - this is just a game

Hey freddie,

We ony need to get into the top 10 to be in the final. So instead of having to make $355,051, I only have to make a measly $77,644 (based on current rankings).

cheers

Construction

I do that at the moment, in my spare time, only small time ie:
Houses, house renervation, extensions, rental properties.
I don't find that high pressure though, in fact I find that the easiest of all.

Mine is a bit bigger than that - don't look at anything less than about 300m at the moment, which means that I get to spend about $150,000,000 a year, I like writing numbers like that!

No not that big, I stick within my own price range, $200,000.00 Max.

300m is a massive developement, a lot of contractors, that would be a pain.

It's never boring, of course a lot of pressure on to complete jobs early, as is a lot of infrastructure development going on at the moment. Keep loosing all of our best guys to India and China, big money to be made over there.

No 300M is not a big development at the moment. New Uranium mine will be 3 to 4B dollars, Huge upgrade to olympic dam project in similar range. Big alumina project in gove is just winding up spent that sort of money there, plenty of work that size in the west as well too many zeros for me though

Our guys going to India & China, have not heard of that, I thought it was just our recources from the ground not human.

Olympic Dam has done wonders for realestate here, that's one of the things I am taking advantage of.
Missus works for Champion Compressors, do you deal with them.

Lot of Australian expats working around the world. Our qualifications and work ethic are highly regarded around the world, and our people are highly rewarded. Yes have bought & installed a number of champion compressors. Company is easy to deal with, and equipment good quality.

Mouse had an idea

Ya know Rampage, buddy, pal, mate. For someone who wanted to win so bad that they were willing to toss money towards a lawyer, you really haven't tried hard to get back in the game have you.

You haven't even offered to try and buy my position in the game from me, not even once.

I mean seriously, I'm only $87,643.31 from being in the top 10, surely a man with your skills could make that up easily.

Meh, I'm disappointed in you

cheers
Mouse

Thankyou for that, my wife will be pleased to read your comment, she did say they shipped to those places, but would comment no further.
