I have a few friends sending me pics of the event, since he went to it... I'm too afraid to look because I don't want my 'innocent erica' image of you to die off. Were you one of the women who walked around half naked?

I've been meaning to address that for a while, actually. A couple things I've learned about Forex: 1) You really can make a lot of money in it. (Not surprisingly, the strategies are similar to poker.) 2) Forex brokerages are quite volatile right now, with Forex companies going belly-up left and right. The Forex company I was trading with, Refco, went bust a few months ago. It made a lot of financial headlines. That spooked me a bit. Also, the Forex firm I was working with had a major reorg and fired a bunch of their management team. I've decided to sideline Forex for now. Although I think the market fundamentals are such that the system can be learned and money can be made, the volatility of the brokerages in the market is what concerns me the most. Once the brokerages settle down in a couple years, and when I have more time to really learn the system, I'd like to pick it up again. Marcin, good question!
