| KenK <invalid@invalid.com>: Jul 10 05:43PM My Walmart Neighborhood Market appears to be cutting back on baking stuff. For example no more potato stasrch which I use when baking gluten free bread. So i looked at Amazom. Walmart Hodgson Mill 8 oz. tapioca starch $1.96 Amazon Hodgson Mill 8 oz. tapioca starch $20 and change for 4 packages - that's $5+ each. Somewhere I had gotten the idea that Amazon had low prices. Evidently far from it, unless this was an exception, I'll certainly shop around before I buy from Amazon in the future. -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

Basically in 3 years I turned about $1000 into $150,000 all high risk but I hit the peak of my capabilities and it's time to start protecting and managing what I have made." Really? You should call Guinness. And yet you're on a dying newsgroup asking for advice on what to do with your money. If true you should open an office on Wall Street and start a hedge fund, money, because continuing your ROR, in nine years you'll be the richest person in the world, and in a few more years you'll own ALL the money. |

I wish it would work like that. This is where peak hits. I am on a plateau now and it will actually decline a bit once summer's over and there will be a few months where I make almost nothing. Basically I am exploiting market price disparities as well as what the casual consumer knows about how certain things work versus what I know. Think retail arbitage though that isn't exactly it. I've reached the absolute peak of the kind of volume I can handle, as well as having multiple income streams shut down and also prices normalized to what consumers will pay, cutting me out. Also selling off all my collectables amassed from years of buying, hoarding and inheriting and I am running out of stuff. I was extremely lucky and I have no problem admitting I really have no idea what I am doing, I would just watch the numbers keep going up in total awe and then when the work situtation was shaken up, I just bailed. And the previously mentioned figure isn't all cash but the value of my inventory. |

My overall goal is really just to see how much money I can die with. I could hook you up with this Nigerian dude who'll split a ton of cash with you if you'll just front him a few $K to cover his expenses getting it out of Africa!

I did sell a single shirt to a museum for $250 a few months ago. It's time for me to start dressing like an adult anyway. |
