Double To A Million - Step 18 - Making a Slow Comeback

How To Double Your Way To A Million In 28 StepsThe Official Blog for the "My One Million Friends" Website

Today a check arrived in the mail from InBoxDollars for ($27.84) . Click on the Inboxdollars link above to begin earning some extra stake funds. They give you the first $5.00 for signing up. I didn't find it to difficult to earn the additional $25.00 to get a payout.

I also recently received ten dollars ($10.00) for helping someone install and learn about a new printer purchase.

Plus a few additional funds are due in hopefully soon. Someone made a purchase with Megastep International and I am expecting around $9.99 before PayPal fees and I made it to above a $100.00 limit level on another unnamed internet source and am expecting a payout. But it could be a month or more before seeing it.

Slowly, I am closing in on the Step 19 threshold of $1280.00, I am only $180.91 away from that goal.

My trades have been improving lately. I mentioned in a comment on the last post that I felt a bottom was hit and a short term turn around was about to take place and it did. So the negative trades improved a little over that time but I am still in trouble with them at this point. Yesterday I felt we hit a short term top and there was going to be a pull back, that is why I sold Etrade (described below).

Trade #1 for($738.53) is down (-22.77%) and Trade #2 for($296.72) is down (-6.73%) as of yesterday.

Needless to say I am somewhat cranky about them.

My own personal trading has been going well. For my own Family Mutual Fund Account which I started this January, I purchased Etrade and sold it a week and a half later for a profit of +35.40% bringing the overall fund up to a gain of +7.08% for the year so far.

I just wish I was doing as well with the DTAMP funds.

Personally, I am following the rules as they are laid out in the report as exactly as is humanly possible. Since I have always been somewhat of a rebel and only followed the laws that I made, I decided to be very rebellious and follow the rules exactly as specified in spite of the fact that it was just to easy to not follow them. Snubbing my nose at the easy way of doing things I became what has been lovingly referred to as a "Purist". But the bottom line is I am following the rules because I am such a contrarian, rebel. So there.

The truth is I am finding it hard to follow the rules, in the sense I could be so much further along without them.

But I have found that being forced to follow them I learned some things that changed me to such an extent that for the first time in many decades I finally learned how to successfully trade equities and be profitable. It is my opinion that it was following the rules in this Doubling Adventure that revealled in me some things that needed changing and resulted in a change in my progress as a trader.

Just to give some examples:

Last year I decided to apply the Double to a Million technique to a few trading accounts.

In the 401k I took $1,000 and decided to double that to One million. I made two trades with the funds and made a profit of +40.982% .

In the Zecco account I started with $1,000 in December 2007 and made +9.78% for the month.

In all my other trading accounts I made for 2007, +37.98% ,+27.103% .

The Dtamp funds made +20.259% for 2007 after moving the funds to Etrade in July.

I have never done this well in trading or investing, consistently, ever before and I believe it is due in part to what I learned from following the rules in the Double To A Million report.

Now I am not saying what worked for me will work for anyone else. Everyone is different and has different issues and things to learn. But I am grateful that I was able to get out of it what I did and have changed as a result.

Each person needs to decide for themselves how they want to progress through this adventure. No two people are alike and what works for one will not work for another. But I think if you give following the rules a chance you may get some things out of it you might miss otherwise. Its possible.

Whatever you decide I wish you Success. Qapla'

Step 17 - Detecting a WingNut

How To Double Your Way To A Million In 28 StepsThe Official Blog for the "My One Million Friends" Website

If the truth be told I am not feeling very inspired to write lately. The most I have felt up to is to just post an update from time to time regarding how well the Double My Way To A Million Stake is coming along.

I found a couple of pennies while wandering around. I also made Fifty cents ($0.50) on the unused portion of money earning interest in the Brokerage Account.

If anyone is interested in a No Commission Brokerage firm this is the one I have been using:

"Zecco.com"

The Inboxdollars.com scenario is slowly growing with a few referrals even signing up. My total amount in that has grown to $8.52 . If anyone is interested in trying it out please sign up here: http://www.inboxdollars.com/?r=dtamp

I was also given an older model Radio Shack Micronta Discovery2 Metal Detector - Treasure Finder Catalog Number 63-3004 to use in searching for coins or other treasures for DTAMP. They didn't want it anymore and it was just taking up space so they gave it to me. I am not sure that it works yet because I do not have two Nine Volt batteries to test it out.

Also the Operating Manual was missing. If anyone has a copy or PDF, etc. of the Manual, and you are willing to help, please contact me by leaving a comment here or over at the Doubler's Den Forum. Thanks.

Here is a picture of the Metal Detector.

I use to have a more expensive metal detector many, many years ago. I remember one day while I was working at Radio Shack this guy came in and wanted to rent a Metal Detector. Of course Radio Shack didn't rent anything, and I don't think at that time Radio Shack even sold metal detectors of any kind, but I can't quite remember that. This was around 1978.

I didn't know why he wanted one and it came out during our conversation that I had my own personal metal detector at home.

He asked me if he could hire me for $25.00 to come and find something for him. I said sure and after my shift at Radio Shack I ran home and got my detector.

I then came back and met him. He was the owner or manager of a Carvel Ice Cream store and what had happened was that a wingnut had fallen off one of the mixers during the time they were making around 30 of those kind of expensive Ice Cream Cakes.

So this guy had around 30 cakes that he couldn't sell because there could be a wing nut in one of them. Prime lawsuit material for him should someone get a cake with a large wingnut in it.

So he asked me if I could search the cakes and find the wingnut. I asked him for a cardboard box and set it up and said alright now bring me a cake. I ran the detector over it and found nothing. They brought a second cake and sure enough "Ping!" or more like "Howwwllll with a high pitched squeel". The detector went off and they cut into the cake and there it was. The wingnut.

The guy was very thankful, paid me $25.00 and gave me the damaged cake which was very good by the way. It took me about 5 minutes to find it.

I also found someone's set of keys that were lost in a garden while the person was rototilling it. I did find some coins with it and other things over time as well but mostly it was a great tool for finding things people lost.

I am hopeful that it will find things to help me with DTAMP.

One final note the My One Million Friends website is a Very Good site. In fact, utilizing the Gematriculator it has been determined to be a whopping 93% Good. Join Today!
