@-ANGRY-STUDENT- particularly the large coil gun. Precisely the large coil gun. #relatable
-
the fact that you did the recap for last year puts it way above any other resolution.
i'm not sure i could achieve that level of consistency -

Root826005y@StopWastingTime It definitely helped. I listened to the Librivox recording while driving to work, though many of the readers were dreadful so I really can't recommend it.
Here's my next few books on that same topic (physical this time):
* Words that Work
* How to Win Friends and Influence People
* The Yes Factor
* Why Men Love Bitches -
Root826005y@moqs Crypto, stocks, REITs, foreign exchange.
@hash-table I probably will. Either an Arch flavor or Gentoo. -
Root826005y@moqs Varies by the investment.
In crypto I can make a few % a day.
In stocks, a few % a week.
In forex, a few % a week is trivial as it's super predictable.
In REITs, the ROI is much lower, but it's zero effort and almost zero risk.
Obv these are averages; sometimes I make nothing, sometimes I make ridiculous returns. -

For crypto which exchange do you suggest? Do you do margin trading? if so that requires a lot of time and has a big risk.
For stocks do you use a different exchange?
Do you buy assets randomly or do you do any investigation before?
From your turn you buy other assets?
I am sorry for the questions and thanks for your patience! -
Root826005y@moqs Since I live int he US, unfortunately I can't use Binance anymore, but need to use Binance-US which has far far far fewer pairs :<
To answer the rest of your questions: technical analysis. I study the charts and see which ones look promising, draw some lines, and make a plan for the trade. If the pair continues doing what I expect, I'll enter the trade and follow my plan and general rules.
Also, I don't do margin trading. Too high of risk, especially considering the exchanges intentionally and regularly liquidate margin traders.
Also: yes, I always reinvest the profits from trading. To do anything else is, frankly, stupid.

2019 resolutions/goals recap: (non-personal ones)
1) Improve diet (did; e.g. ramen and fast food to clean keto)
2) Lose weight (did; lost 24 pounds!)
3) Find a good job (did, twice)
4) Buy a harp (did not; large and expensive, no place to put it, and I have small children who would absolutely break it)
5) Keep house clean, even if it's by myself (did, somewhat; I cleaned some, managed to get one other person to clean semi-regularly, and another sporadically)
6) Work on social awkwardness (did; read and applied Dale Carnegie's The Art of Public Speaking, which netted me my last job offer. Still pretty awkward though)
7) Move out of the desert (did not; not enough money, and job didn't allow remote work)
8) Stop bloody waiting on people (did not; still very guilty of this...)
I don't remember the rest 🙁 didn't write them down last year. But I still accomplished 5 out of the 8 I remembered, with one being a pass, so 5/7!
-----
