@ Options – good advice, although options are ideal for volatile markets [ says AJC having just closed out a profitable position ]

I understand your concerned and why your on the side lines. Many are these days and options have been a tough market this year. I would find stocks you like and be patient with them to hit your target prices.

@ Mark – just remember, for each option trade there has to be one winner and one loser. Who knows more … you, or the guy on the other end? Lesson: if you want to be serious about the BUSINESS of options, get the knowledge to BE the guy on the other end …

They are definitely very broad. I’m researching tax liens for real estate and I do recall that you have vested interest in a tax lien company. Care to share in one of your posts? As for stocks / options, I’m leaning towards options trading for now. I’m taking courses and network with some traders. You definitely can make money in a up/down or sideways market.

@ Mark – You are certainly ‘focusing’ on The Big Three; if you make the Final 7, we’ll work on narrowing down the scope ever so slightly

I agree Diane. Being too comfortable can make us complacent. There are three areas that I’m investigating and trying out right now: real estate, stocks / options and internet business. There are quite general but I hope to find a focus on each of these areas soon.

Mark – you have exactly what you need to succeed! Being comfortable is how many of us “born” with this great opportunity actually never do (much, if that) more than the generation before us. It has always been those who had harder lives who had the drive to bootstrap it with determination, and still end up with a good soul. Have you settled on what business you are interested in, now that you are eligible?
