[Elvis77]

Do any pilots out there have side jobs that they do in hotels rooms to make extra cash? Ebay? Any ideas? Thanks

I have a wholesale used car business. It's not bad but you have to have some captial to start it up. I sell between 2 to 3 cars per month and average between $800 to $1500 off each car.

I also flight instruct on the side, but thats mainly for fun. I get to keep all the money. Average is $80-100/lesson.

Trading

Some people trade successfully. I would have liked to sell short an oil contract if I'd had the $ to put up, since to me it seemed logical the price would've gone down once the public got word the oil rigs were going to come back online, and that the price was at an all time high. No-brainer trades like this, maybe 1,2 or 3 times a year.

Before that I would've sold a USDollar contract. Warren Buffett and George Soros were both short about a year ago and I wanted to ride their coattails. Now the dollar is showing signs of a possible turnaround...

Also, I have known people to day trade / swing trade (in the market a few days) but they only trade ONE stock they have some intimate knowledge of, such as price behavior certain times of the day, certain days of the week, or in response to news (price overshoots it's value in the morning in the publics wild overreaction to related news, then comes back to where it "should' be).

I traded about 8 years ago and had some success. I have been reading a lot too.

I have 30-40 books that are related to trading, and if I were to recommend my two favorites they are without question "The Disciplined Trader" by Mark Douglas http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0132157578/qid=1102986077/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/102-3746595-6745742?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

and Market Wizards http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0887306101/qid=1102986125/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/102-3746595-6745742 interviews with top traders by Jack D. Schwager. Some traders never look at a chart. They look at the covers of major magazines at the newsstand to decide what to trade. It's amazing, the public PERCEPTION is a large force in the markets, as is greed and fear.

Ohhh...
Try internet porn, get a camera, highspeed hookups in hotel, couple of hookers(or whoever is available), and become Cecil B. of the porn industry. I hear the mesa guys like farm animals.

income?

Pilots get income?

Seriously, though. As a new FO I found a great part time job as chiropractor. That way I can handout my business cards to passengers after each landing I make.

I work part time in a coffee shop. Decent tips and meet tons of people (translation=chicks)

try a mall. Macy's or something like that. even though the money is not great, there's lots of ladies to keep you occupied. i used to work at Express as a stock boy. it will keep you busy and give you some money.

right now i work as an assistant to a A&P for side money. yeah... really exciting. i would rather be hitting on babes over at Express.

I did a couple jobs when I was flying the E120 out of MDW in the early 90s. I was a Chippendale for a few LONG months, and I was a piano player in a local whore house.

I posted this reply in the Majors section as well so forgive the repeat.

I started giving away satellite dishes from Dish Network. I make $50 anytime someone orders one. Its a good deal, they get as many as 4 rooms installed for free. They also started giving away the new High Def receivers and DVR's (Tivo, but its another brand) for the new customers. All they do is pay for the programming which starts at $30 bucks. Its REAL easy and I make an extra $750 to $1000 a month doing it. I could probably make more but I am too lazy. They give you all the details on how to do it most effectively (sp?). The address is http://www.vmcsatellite.com/channels/affiliates.cfm?aid=128974.

All in all a good easy way to make some cash. You can PM me if you want or just sign up. Its free to become an affiliate so the invesment is exactly what I could afford.

Oh, I also do some Ebay stuff too.

Btw, yes I cut and pasted this EXACT thing from my other reply, but like I said...IM LAZY (which is why I became a pilot...lol)
