Right now, I'm pretty much researching on the currencies that would be the most profitable for my business. I might have to be an early bird instead of a night owl to make the most out of what I'm doing for now. The beginning phases are pretty much about getting started and looking for the most profitable areas and has the most common sense dealing with it. If I get really good at it, then I could possibly shift my hours around and make it even more flexible for myself if I wanted to. Friends have asked some FAQ about my job. I guess I'll do sort of a favor on this blog to the readers by answering them.

If you just jump right in with no real knowledge, you will lose everything in a jiffy. You can use a demo account (no money, just practice) to hone your skills in this market. This market is pretty big with not a lot of people really into it because it's mainly about skill- just like the market for chess players.
Q: When you get rich, will you remember me?
A: Yes. I will treat you out.
Q: You'll do everything, like pay for my expensive trip and buy me food?
A: Okay, I don't mind.
