I think it's a tie between Europe and South America based on the options in the original post. |

I don't mean to be condescending but I think people need to be careful about asking for investment advice. If people know how to get rich, they probably will not share it because it will mean more competition for them. There are forums and platforms where you can learn basic investment principles. There are also licensed financial advisors. But again, if you have any doubts about where to put your money, please don't base your decision on what an anonymous person writes. You must research very carefully what to invest in. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. |

I commend this organization for trying to help the youth of Nigeria reach their full potential. In San Diego, we have done similar things. All nations have underserved communities and youth who need mentors. We must remember that children are the future of our nations. We must invest in them just as we invest in militaries. I suggest people visit the Tributary Initiative page on Facebook. It is an excellent organization doing great things in Nigeria. 1 Like |

I think there are various strategies to get rich, so you have millionaires with different philosophies. Yes, there are probably common patterns or ways of viewing the world among them, but people get rich in many industries and with diverse methods. Some get rich by hoarding over time, whereas others make risky investments that pay off. I think one thing all rich people have is motivation - they must be driven to accomplish what most people cannot financially. Building wealth also requires discipline. 2 Likes |

While I don't support war or escalation of violence, I don't think Iran is a victim in all of this. To be clear, I want world peace, but Iran has not done its part to make that happen. |

This is horrific. I hope lessons can be learned from this. I also hope the community can band together to help the victims of this tragedy. |
Investment / Re: Masters/professionals Forex/volatility Community by pushups44: 2:17pm On Jan 05, 2020 |
There is plenty of money to be made in trading, but I prefer intermediate to long-term investments because the markets are filled with software bots that shake away small investors. Regardless of your time horizon, it is important to study the dynamics of the market - both technical and fundamental analysis. I recommend that people be careful of those who promise big returns. People need to understand that the majority of traders fail due to poor money management and strategy. In my view, the longer the time horizon as an investor, the less you are vulnerable to a few whales manipulating the markets. But to each their own. Some people succeed by scalping or making daily trades. |
Politics / Re: Lagos Sex Workers Demand Equal Rights In Celebration Of Workers Day . by pushups44: 2:09pm On Jan 05, 2020 |
The problem is when the men who use the services of these women become politicians or preachers and denounce them. In the United States, it happens more often than one would think. I think consensual sex should be legal everywhere. |

I'm sorry to hear that! In the U.S., there are strict laws against not paying employees what they are owed. I'd like to see more progress in Nigeria to eliminate workplace abuse. I hope there are people who can help you get the justice you deserve! 1 Like |

Investment / Re: Watch How I Made 70pips On USD/JPY by pushups44: 12:08am On Jan 05, 2020 |
Very nice! I personally like to trade the gold and silver markets on occasion. I think trading currencies is potentially lucrative but takes a lot of time and practice. People easily get wiped out when they don't practice good money management and let their emotions drive their decisions. It's great to learn technical analysis because once you master it with forex, it's applicable to any market, from stocks, bonds, to even digital currencies. My advice to investors is to be careful and not to use too much leverage! |

Obama is looking like he's in great shape for his age. How many people will be able to even paddle at his age? This is ridiculous. I am glad he's starting off the New Year enjoying himself. We need to live each day like it is our last. And yes, Obama was a great president! He is a role-model to people everywhere in the world. 1 Like |

Business / Re: How can I stop being broke in 2020? by pushups44: 8:47am On Jan 04, 2020 |
As others have pointed out, you can learn a digital trade so you can freelance online and be your own boss. However, this takes dedication and practice. There are plenty of opportunities for graphics designers. If you learn programming, there could be plenty of opportunities for you in that area. As far as the get-rich-quick schemes online, please avoid them. I advise people to get advice from licensed financial advisors like my friend Jason Groth. To build wealth takes time, and by telling people you are broke, you may attract those trying to take advantage of you. Please be careful with the people who approach you online. 72 Likes 9 Shares |
Business / Re: I Need A Tutor On Stock And Share Investment by pushups44: 4:40pm On Jan 03, 2020 |
sammchuck1: Yes, investing in really good stocks can yield massive returns, but investors need to be realistic about their expectations. For every ten-bagger, there will be some losers. The problem lies when people get greedy and hucksters take advantage of their ignorance. As always, investors must do their own due diligence. |
Business / Re: I Need A Tutor On Stock And Share Investment by pushups44: 2:54pm On Jan 03, 2020 |
Obalegend: I suggest you be very careful about receiving any financial advice from anyone lacking a license or certification. There are so many scammers on the internet. Keep in mind, there are many resources online to learn about finance and investing. You should also consider watching YouTube videos. I learned a lot by subscribing to many channels. Good luck! |

spill: Yeah, freelancing is a great way to establish financial independence, but it requires hard work and almost no social life. A traditional job with an employer may not be great, but it at least helps pay the bills while you transition to financial independence. People criticize ordinary jobs, but it seems to me they are mentally easier than owning your own business. There seems to be a trade-off between financial independence and being stress-free. 8 Likes 1 Share |

You may want to talk to a Canadian lawyer. As long as you have skills that Canada needs, your chances should be quite good. But it will take planning and patience. Again, it's probably best to ask a lawyer in a relevant forum. 3 Likes |
Business / Re: What Business Gave You Your First Million In 2019 by pushups44: 4:31am On Jan 03, 2020 |
To be honest, I am nowhere near making a million, but I think with hard work and dedication we can make it. My friend Jason Groth of San Diego has done well as a financial advisor. It just takes time to find our calling. Some find their passion earlier than others. When we work at what we love, it almost seems as if we are not even working. So I think that's the key to making your first million. I am open to hearing other ideas though. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I enjoy the architecture and that it's easy to get around the city either on foot or using the trams. I always have a great time whenever in Amsterdam. Good luck! 1 Like |
