    bujub, serious good luck with the book mate, if your writing is as good as your drawing skills, you'll go far if you push yourself.

    I played the market quite roughly in those days.

    Mainly short-term stock-options.

    Days when 100 euro became 1200 in 5 hours..........

    That rush is so incredible!!!

    Yeah, also days that did the reverse.........

    Made a fortune on ProLion[milkmachines] stocks and then lost it again on options

    Royal Dutch Oil........


    When i stopped a few years ago , i think i played even allover.

    No "i could/should have's........"; it was good fun while it lasted!!

    I still have 50 stocks Sopheon[educational software], worth 49 eurocent

    each.(from 0.20 2 weeks ago!&#33

    Two years ago i sold 200 of them for 16,85. Bought for, guess......35 eurocents!!!

    But what happens?? Two weeks later Sopheon did 28,65!!!

    Etc, etc.


    Best of all, i learned sooo much about economy those days.

    Taking courses learning that would have costed me much more!!!!

    im stil tryin at makin a big blockbuster movie someday tho &nbsp; &nbsp;
    If you are serious about making a movie you should realise only one in every 1000 get into production.

    To create a good movie you need to add unexpected twists, we all like being surprised.

    I think the best way to learn to write a good script is to watch a lot of good movies, not necessarily big budget ones, but the ones that few have seen before but have good story lines, that you could pinch a few things from .

    I don&#39;t think there are many story lines that havent already been covered, so the best thing to do is take something that&#39;s been done before, but did not get the proper attention it merited and add a few surprises and maybe create it for a bigger budget and/or in different genre, i.e animation, comedy etc. [/b][/quote]
    animation is my dept. and mixing different story to have funny twist and action is what i love to make

    Then go for it .

    Don&#39;t be put off by rejection, because it will happen even if you have good movie. Its a matter of persevering in the movie business.

    If you don&#39;t get success, ask them why they rejected your idea, that way you learn and can adapt.

    One piece of advice i would give any budding entrepreneur is to create an account with paypal or a similar service, and think of how you can make people pay you for a product or service.

    This way your mind is focused on finding opportunities. With enough time and thought you are bound to come up with a good saleable business idea.
