Gold trading live calls

I have been playing at gold trading on and off for some years and am now live with real beer tokens. I am posting my trades in the comments section of this post. This last week has been pretty good, around 40% profit. I am using an oanda account geared at 10:1, so I'm buying an ounce of gold for about $100 and make $10-15 per trade. I can't share my trading system because I'm not sure I understand it. Most trading systems can work as long as you have covered the what if I lose scenario..Most people don't like to think about that...and when I say most people I mean you, me, citibank, lloyds, bank of scotland and other amateurs. Anyway what with the ups and downs of the world there's money to be had. Of course this is not a recommendation to trade and my trades are as a record to myself only so I can analyse performance. I would not encourage anyone to follow what I do, but they're there if anyone has any feedback on the performance etc..

Costco cashback

So afer a year I got $200 back from Costco and $250 from the Costco Amex (see money for nothing post) which is about a month of 'free' groceries.  I use the Amex all the time when I can.

I guess it almost makes up for having to visit the 7th level of hell once a fortnight and having a feeezer full of frozen pork or whatever I can't eat from the $20 megapack...

My additional challenge is to get a free lunch there, the pizza samples are OK but it cracks me up seeing grown men and women queuing up to try a 1 inch square of mmmmmmm bread and  butter or AN olive, you have to be discerning and take like 5 samples of the good stuff and come round and do it again...

flock of crows

This has nothing to do with money but has anyone else seen thousands of crows flying at night around Park King George?  I am sure I'm not imagining it, every now and then there are swarms of them at night

They are quite eerie but somehow beautiful to see as long as you don't think about the film...

When I saw them people were nearly crashing the car as they were driving around looking up out the windows..

The trees were black with them, pretty cool..
