How I Turned $1,000 into a Million Dollars in Real Estate ...

Hi,

I'm not sure I qualify as one of the brainy people you mentioned--wait a second, that's wrong, actually I am one of the brainy people you mentioned and it's stupid to act humble, especially about smarts which is a common attribute and one that is not that important any more.

Though I admit to being brainy I'm not sure I can explain what I want to in this message.

Trading is sort of science-like: you study charts, you use mathematics, you collect and evaluate data; trading is sort of beating the market into submission with the power of your brain. I can picture Mr. Spock as a trader--heck, half the time he probably had commodity barcharts displayed in that little box he was always staring into, looking for trends and markets on the move (or it could have been Romulan adult websites).

Real estate, on the other hand, is action oriented rather than intellect oriented. (I can't imagine Mr. Spock driving around looking at properties or doing deals. inspecting walls and checking plumbing; that's the kind of thing Kirk would have been good at. Hey, maybe there's a Kirk/Spock dichotomy between real estate investing and trading.)

That's all I got, and it was probably more than you wanted to hear.

Just my opinion,
