somecoolguy | 14 years ago | on: Why we are taking our startup to Hong Kong and other crazy stories of 2011

Kind of off topic, but I am thinking about traveling to China (mainland, not HK) over the summer and working on my own business while doing touristy stuff. My business is completely online and based in the US, so I am wondering if I should get a business visa or just a normal tourist visa. I won't be going to business meetings or anything like that in China, but should I get a business visa just to be safe?

I'm majoring in CS right now. What type of courses would you recommend that i concentrate on if I am interested in HFT?

And how did you learn trading strategies? Did you take any finance type classes in college, or did you learn them all on your own?

Do you have a link to a website or something that sells good rental properties? I have been looking into buying a CA condo to rent out, but all the ones that I look at have ridiculous association fees like $1,500 or $2,000 per month. How the hell are you supposed to make a profit if you are paying $2,000 per month in association fees and then taxes, property management fees, and all of that other stuff on top of it?

What were you calling them in your ebay listings? Were you just calling them "mp3 players", or were you actually mentioning "ipod shuffle"? I find it hard to believe that enough people search ebay for "mp3 players" to get that many sales. People searching for an mp3 player would usually just search for an ipod.
