become an expert in collectibles. Buy low, sell high.

Whenever I walk into a toy section at Wal-Mart, I know how much everything is worth. Even shit that just came out yesterday can easily be double.



You can even scour Target endcaps for items of value. I just purchased another Xbox360 racing wheel by MadKatz. It was $17.48 @ 75% off. At Best Buy, it retails for $79.99. I'm almost sure I can eBay it for $50.

don't you want to buy low?

The Chinese market rebounded 3.9% over night. I'd get on it if I were a trader today.

$10 on red, if you lose bet $20, if you lose bet $40 again is you lose bet $80 and so on until you win.

If you follow this rule everytime you win you'll make $10. you would have to lose 7 times in a row to lose everything...very improbable h:

This is a prolonged problem and the markets are going to be a bit volatile for at least a few more days. Sure it may rebound a bit but there are still a lot of people confused and frustrated and making not so good decisions about their trades.

My friend, the probabilities are the same that you will lose on every attempt. Just because you keep betting on a color and losing does not make the probability that you will win the next time go up at all.

SlickDeals doesn't know about this one. I kinda stumbled across it.

I found another one at a random Target near work. It was on the shelf (not endcap) and unmarked.
