As for getting 12% bi-weekly... well aren't you taking a considerable amount of risk? Are you consistently getting that?? I have a lot of doubt that a strategy aiming for something like that will be successful long term, but I certainly wish you the best of luck with it! I'm trying something right now (my father in law found it and is using it). The track record on this one is 68% annualized return so far (as of yesterday). But it's a really short track record (since Feb 2010). Here's the blog where they show their results: TradeOnAUTO Lite. I wouldn't even think of doing something like this with my retirement. I just have a small amount in it that I could afford to lose.
