  1. Very interesting post. Thanks for taking the time to submit it. A quick Google search of "price action with leverage" reveals information that looks complicated and precarious, but I'll look into it a bit more.
  2. Very interesting post. Thanks for taking the time to submit it. Sorry, but I don't understand junk funds. Do you mean funds made up of high-risk stocks and bonds, or just one or the other? Also, it's amazing to me that you trade such a huge amount of money, 100,000 dollars per trade, on something so inherently risky. The returns you mentioned are not guaranteed, unless I'm not clear on that part. No way I could even consider trading anything near that much. So even if I got 2-4%, it wouldn't be worth it for the smaller amount of money I could invest. Continued good luck on your system for making money.
  3. Then you must have the magic touch when it comes to buying penny stocks because every one of them I've ever bought has ultimately completely collapsed in value, costing me tens of thousands of dollars. The only way I've made money is by buying mutual funds from Franklin Templeton and annuities with Pacific Life Insurance Company and Lincoln Financial Group, all reputable and established companies and all investments based on the advice of my professional investment advisor. I'll never gamble and lose my money again by buying stocks that eventually inevitably become totally worthless.
  4. Thanks for the information, but these days, due to health concerns, I don't travel anymore unless absolutely necessary. That's why I'd like something that I could do sitting at my computer. Besides, I'm sure there are many videos of beautiful Thailand already posted to YouTube. I'm sure I couldn't add anything to those already there.
  5. Thanks for the advice, but small businesses are just too risky. My companion had a small massage shop, strictly legitimate, that didn't make enough money to cover the rent each month, never mind make a profit. Later, she had a small coffee shop with the same result. I've seen scores of small businesses close here in Chiang Mai, even before COVID-19 struck. I don't have the energy or enthusiasm needed to try to make a small business turn a profit. In addition, I have a heart condition called atrial fibrillation, which is an irregular heartbeat. The stress generated by seeing my small business ultimately fail could trigger a fatal stroke or heart attack, so no thank you. Sitting at my computer typing or reading is stress free, so I'll focus on that instead.
  6. Thanks for the information, but, again, I'm quit sure that schools just wouldn't be interested in hiring a 66 year old, especially one who hasn't taught in 13 years. Several years ago I tried applying for some online jobs and got absolutely zero interest. Most of the schools I applied to didn't even bother to reply. I've met many young people, in their 20s, who are teaching online. They can easily get jobs; I can't.
  7. Thanks for the information. I checked the website, and it looks very interesting. I'll start investing time in it starting tomorrow.
  8. Yes. Trading is high risk and stressful, which is why I wouldn't consider doing it. If there are no viable options, then I will continue doing what I've been doing. I'm only exploring the possibilities.
  9. I don't have any ideas for YouTube videos that people would watch. Also, I don't have anyone who could speak for me. The only people I know are Thais. Thanks for the suggestion.
  10. I'm not giving up. I'm looking into finding something meaningful I can do while sitting at my computer in Thailand. That's what I said in my original post.
  11. Thanks again. I would need the service to America, and not the expensive one. It's not that critical an issue for me, but if I could improve on my VPN, I'd be interested in checking it out.
  12. Thanks again for the suggestions, but I haven't owned or driven a car since I left the West 29 years ago, and I've never driven a bus. Bus companies don't hire inexperienced 66 year olds. I have zero handyman skills, and certainly wouldn't try to acquire any now.
  13. Very interesting, but in my case, I've been out of the job market in the West for 29 years, so I don't really see what job skills I could offer a potential employer who could find a much younger man to do the job instead of me.
  14. Thanks for the suggestion, but what job do you think I could get in the West at 66 years of age? Who would hire me and to do what? The last time I worked in the West was in 1994, which was 29 years ago. So I don't think looking for a job outside Thailand is really a viable option.
  15. Yes, they do. That's why I'm hoping to find something that is not too difficult and that pays just slightly more than crap. I realize it's a long shot, but anyway I'm looking.
  16. I'm not poor now by any means. I didn't say that I was poor. It's just that my expenses have continued to increase while I have been retired so that I'm not bringing in any money other than what I make on the stock market, and it has been stagnant for a few years now. I'm only preparing for a future that will be more expensive than today.
  17. As we've discussed on this thread, I think it's true that the online jobs that require money up front are scams. Many of the ones that don't require money up front seem to be legitimate, but they pay a ridiculously small amount of money.
  18. Sorry, but I don't know exactly what you mean by market trading. Trading in which market or markets? I've been invested in the stock market for the last 20 years, during which time I've made a lot of money, but not from trading. I have mutual funds my investment advisor put me in that I sell when I need money. I tried buying penny stocks on my own, but every one of them lost money, so I stopped doing that. If you mean day trading, from what I've read day traders always lose money in the long term.
  19. Thanks for the suggestions. Moving to Isan would be a huge change. I'm settled in Chiang Mai with a companion I've had for 19 years. It would be extremely disruptive for her, her daughter, and her two grandchildren if I left. Regardless, I'm not prepared to stake my future on the remote possibility that a successful woman 20 years younger than I am would find me to be attractive enough to support. There's no doubt whatsoever that such a woman could find countless men far more desirable than I am if she were looking for a paramour. I'll check out the CNBC site, and thanks for wishing me good luck.
  20. Thanks for the information. I only looked into teaching again out of curiosity. I really don't have the energy these days, even for online classes, and I don't want to spend time talking due to the GERD I mentioned in my post. There are countless people much younger and more energetic than I am who are willing to teach for about $10 an hour. They are the ones who can get hired and work, not me. I'll keep looking for an alternative.
  21. I'm American and have been getting Social Security since I turned 62. Retiring at that age means I get 75% of what I would have gotten at full retirement. But for me, full retirement wouldn't be until 66 years and 6 months. Since I wasn't working and paying into the system, there was no reason to wait. Unfortunately, I didn't make enough money working in America, so that I'm only getting $575 a month this year. That's not enough to live on, even in Thailand. That's why I'm looking for some kind of supplemental income.
  22. I'm afraid the length is only average. Finding a woman of above average beauty, for a price, is easy enough in Thailand. At my age, however, any photogenic qualities I once had are long gone, so that no one would pay to see any part of my body. Thanks for the suggestion, but OnlyFans is not the answer.
