Ah yeah, Bend is pretty nice if you like outdoorsy type of stuff. It's getting pretty crowded (in my opinion), haha.
Futures trading is awesome, I like it. Kind of addicting though, lol. I still need to get a degree too (just to have one), but trading is something that one can do without any college and be very successful as long as they have the right amount of self discipline.
Are you familiar with trading at all? How do you like PDX?
