Reading With A Hustler: Tech. Analysis For Dummies

Posted on 29. Apr, 2009 by Meji.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the FOREX disaster - you know, the one where some dude thought he was the *poop* and lost $750 in a matter of hours? Yeah, that one. I’ve decided to take a week off which has been this week so far to collect myself and further my learning on the subject.

Before the disaster happened some friends from a forum that I visit referred me to this book: Technical Analysis for Dummies. They said it should teach me all the bookwork and what not when it comes to Technical Analysis. I find myself reading over somethings twice just to make sure it’s drilled into my brain.

Anyways I got it off Amazon for around $17. I’ve had some clients lately and didn’t do as well with them. Damn fiesta and what not - gotta quit that sh*t. Oh well - time to get back on the hustle.

How I Lost $750 In One Day!

Posted on 26. Apr, 2009 by Meji.

I post a lot about How I Make Money Online so I thought I’d add this because I need to be completely honest. I lose it too

As you know I’ve been going through BabyPips School Of Pipsology for a couple of days now and it was going well. One of the main points they stress is DON’T START TRADING UNTIL YOU’RE PERFECTLY COMFORTABLE WITH TRADING ON THE DEMO ACCOUNT. Well, you know me…I wanna make money and I wanna make it quick. And this is how the story goes…

I was pumped because I was only making profitable trades on my demo account so in my head I’m like “I can be using real money, and making real money. Fu*k this demo sh*t.” I logged into my live FOREX trading account. Lets call that Mistake #1.

My account had $1000 on it and I quickly made some bad trades and it dropped down to $973. I was cool about it and found a way to get it all the way up to $1074. I made $74 in no time. I was way too happy so I entered the market around 4 to 5 more times. Label this Mistake #2.

I noticed that all of these trades started moving against me. But you know what? I had confidence…I knew they were gonna move back up. I knew they were going to shoot back in the right direction and I was going to profit immensly. The only thing that I did not know is that I was being an absolute idiot. Mistake #3

None of the trades came back my way and I had a margin call. I lost $750 and learned one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in my life. Don’t do crap until you’re fully ready & educated. I messed up and paid dearly for it.

I was depressed for a day so I bought some new shoes what y’all think?

1 Cent Hosting With HostGator

Posted on 23. Apr, 2009 by Meji.

I recently switched Hosting providers and I’m glad I made the move because before I didn’t feel like I had complete control over my sites and now I do. Someone told me that HostGator was doing 1 cent hosting on the Baby Packages for the first month and after that $9.95 a month  so I knew I couldn’t pass up on that hot deal.

I mean I got unlimited sites and bandwidth and all that good stuff so resources isn’t an issue and I used to host with them before so it’s solid I honestly have no complaints.

So if you get a chance be sure to take advantage of the deal at HostGator using the coupon code: Wordpress

Oh and I started trading with my real FOREX account. I know I wasn’t supposed to but I made 50 bucks? Cool.

The Craigslist iPhone 3G Hustle - Get It.

Posted on 20. Apr, 2009 by Meji.

I’m about my online and my offline hustles. You gotta do what it takes to make that money. In one of my other posts I mentioned how people don’t know the value of their own goods - and some people don’t know or are just too lazy to do some basic tech stuff to their iPhones. Well this is where Craigslist and getting on your local hustle comes in.

I recently got an iPhone 3G 16GB off of Craigslist for $375 . Do you know how much they’re going for on eBay? Around $500 to $600 if you jailbreak and unlock it. Thats anywhere from $100 to $200 profit. If you haven’t figured out what I’m getting at already then I don’t know what to tell you. There are many people who don’t know or just want to get rid of their stuff quickly. I know the general concern is - what if somethings wrong with it? 

This is just where you have to be smart when you buy. Ask questions (is it still under warranty? How old is it?) - don’t get too excited when you see an unbelieveably low price - and don’t get jumped or jacked either. Heard about the Craigslist killer in Boston yet?

All you need is a little start up capital to buy them, the software to jailbreakand unlock  it, and then the ingenuity to sell them and you’re on your way. 

Here’s how to get started:

1. Go to Craigslist.com and choose your City and State.
2. Use the search bar on the left and type in: iPhone
3. Look for steals/deals and give them a call.
4. Meet them up - inspect - and make your decision.

I’m not going to tell you how to jailbreak it here but Google will definitely hook you up with that knowledge or you can always send me an email. 

The other hustle I was thinkin’ about getting on is the iPhone unlocking service. It’s really easy once you get the hang of it.

Make sure you know the difference between a 3G and a 2G an 8GB and a 16GB. Do all your research before you spend a dollar so you don’t waste any money.

Why am I so late? Because I had a G1 and wasn’t interested in iPhones at all. I have to admit though - I’m falling in love with them.
