2015 Summer Travel Destinations

Thinking of doing some traveling this summer? Here's a list of some of the most interesting summer travel destinations of 2015, some of which were not available to travel to before this year.

Cuba:
This beautiful island was once off limits for US travelers unless they acquired special permission from the federal government. In 2015 this retro-country is a realistic vacation spot for regular people like you. The US has lifted their embargo against Cuba and travelers can actually bring limited things back from their trip.

 

Philadelphia:
Maybe you didn't know this but Philly has actually been names one of the top restaurant cities in the world. The city is filled with a plethora of historical sites and has a booming night life scene. Although the people are shitty it doesn't take away from the beauty of the city and the cultural melting pot that is Philadelphia.



Denver:


I think everyone knows why they should visit Colorado. LoL, legal weed, beautiful scenery, and fun in the snow. While visiting Denver one must experience buying, consuming, and being high on legal recreational marijuana. They have pot restaurants, pot stores and pot bars so you could literally spend all day chasing weed in one form or another. Denver has a backdrop of beautiful mountains that the sun sets over which creates an alluring visual. These mountains are home to some awesome ski resorts and even in the summer offer skiing and snowboarding.

















Las Vegas:
So if you've never been to Vegas and you think it's all about gambling you'll be happy to hear that the oasis is actually more about food and drinks these days. Paradise as its known to locals is a mecca for night clubs and restaurants.





They have it all, the best Djs, chefs and bartenders. Visit Nevada for an unbelievable night life experience and endless consumption of the best food and drinks from the hundreds of pools, bars and nightclubs.









This is a video from when I went to Hakkasan nightclub at MGM Grand


San Francisco:
Home of the most innovative people and companies in America and arguable the world, San Francisco has an awesome vibe. Visitors can experience a local phenom known as the Google Bus. The city is also home to some amazing chefs who have a sea port that gives them access to the best and exotic sea food to cook with. If you didn't know, San Fran is home to the best food trucks in the country which vary from Asian-Mexican fusion to BBQ.

Houston:
Everything is bigger in Texas is a true statements, especially when you consider a city like Houston which has grown in size considerably in that last 10 years. Not only has the city grown it is home to a diverse population which gives the city a multi-cultural infrastructure not like any other place. The food is amazing, the people are awesome and everything is new.
The population is mostly made up of 20-something-year-olds with college degrees and lots of disposable income so the city has a market for anything you could possibly be looking to do or buy. Not to mention Houston is less than a 2 hour drive from the Beach city Galveston.

Tallahassee:
Little do most people know, Tally is the capital of Florida and is home to FSU (Florida State University) the 2013 NCAA Football Champions and 2014 NCAA Football Championship contenders.

The city has a laid back feel but filled with buzzing college kids which give it a colorful stripe. All around the city are huge gorgeous parks, lakes and wild life reservations that give visitors the chance to decompress among some of the most beautiful landscapes.




Puerto Rico:
Basically the US territory is an island paradise with so much history and not to mention the people are wonderful. The island is made up of a group of smaller islands and they all feature beautiful resorts and spectacular beaches. Puerto Rico is a fairly inexpensive place to visit and not to mention, Bacardi has their head quarters and factory on the main island. You can spend your days soaking up the tropical sun and your evenings soaking up the local rum.

A Weekend Out In Pittsburgh

Over the weekend I had the time and chance to go to Pittsburgh, Pa. simply because I wanted to. I actually like the city a lot. It has a completely different vibe to it than the other Pennsylvanian cities I visit.
Unlike Philadelphia, "The Burgh" is much quieter and slower than the fast paced business oriented Philly streets. While I was in Pittsburgh I had the chance to explore their parks, people, and food!
Being from Texas, I'm really big on visiting places with friendly people and I must say; The People in Pittsburgh are AWESOME. They're super friendly and the city is so clean...compared to the rest of the major cities in the state (lol). Although it isn't the most diverse city it does have a great deal of character and  culture. I recognized a great Italian presence and Polish as well!! Black people, we're everywhere so I wasn't surprised to see us but I was surprised at how well the city has integrated. It may not be a Utopian society but the people there surely do share a lot of space and it seemed acceptable. The people seemed to have created an atmosphere of cohesion.



Aside from the people I was amazed at the landscape of the city; The skyscrapers aren't numerous but their designs are really unique and cool. Seeing as how the city is known for its 3 rivers and bridges I think its only right that they don't cloud the aerial views with buildings. Speaking of rivers and bridges, the city is divided by these structures and creates an interesting traffic flow where commuters must wind their way through hills, mountain sides, down through valleys & troughs only to arrive at bridges that reach over sprawling rivers which seem endless in the horizon. The sunset is truly beautiful.

Trades Worth $1 Million

Not only have I identified some awesome opportunities in the US Equity Markets, but I have also identified some great opportunities for profits in the FOREX Market as well. So I usually stick to the "majors" just to keep things simple but today I'm reaching into the "minors", no "exotics" though.

EURCAD is an interesting pair to consider at this point with all of the EURO weakness in the markets. Traders have been selling the pair heavily since the ECB rate announcement over a month ago. On daily chart below we can clearly see some support around 1.41245 which was resistance back in October of last year...Like I said, interesting. We know markets trade in mirror form basically reflecting whatever was before into the future and either repeating it or doing the complete opposite and doing so in the same fashion as the prior market moves.
Upon closer examination we see that this pair has been doing a bit of testing of traders and prices. The RSI has been slowly rising while price has been congested in a wide range. Below on the 240min chart we can see that this pair has tested the traders by breaking 1.41245 on an intra-day level, probably shaking out weak players, but ultimately respecting 1.40500.
 I see a buying opportunity from 1.40500 for the serious traders but for the newbies and skilled traders I would suggest waiting until the pair has taken over 1.44000 to ensure your mental state is not corrupted by evil bank traders with more money than you and less worries than you (lol). 

GBPJPY has been consolidating in a shitty range for a couple of days at this point giving traders very few options with ways to trade this pair. On the daily chart below we see the pair stuck under 178.737 but above 177.097 
On the 60min chart below we see the pair in such a slow moving tight range that it's hard to even get an entry on either side of the extremes. That leads me to believe that a drop lower towards 175.270 could be coming to take the price down to recent resistance that was broken to test it for a new support level.
If not the pair will rise through 178.737 from  the range low at 177.097

EURGBP is looking pretty shady. I have no entry yet but I do have some signals that tell me something serious is coming for this pair. Not only has its decline been sharp and swift but it has come with some divergence from the RSI, where we see a slight rise. This tells me there's extreme manipulation going on and the big traders have been suppressing the price (probably because its the easiest EURO pair to sink lower by force.). Below on the daily chart we can see the clear mis-communication between the price and its price's strength.
Wait for a floor and then buy.

EURJPY is showing us some signs of a reversal. Recently the pair has seen some heavy buying going on and is now above an important resistance line that is now acting as support 138.373. Not only has the price been elevated recently but it has broken above its downtrend resistance trendline. The daily chart below spells out the story for us.
Along with a snap of the trendline we see the RSI above 50 but below 70. This is an awesome time to buy this pair! I say buy at/around 138.373 for an initial profit target of 141.215 (recent high). 

GBPUSD is a prime candidate to start building long positions in. On a 240min chart we can clearly see the pair respecting 1.61585 and our RSI is moving our of oversold territory to give traders a chance to join the big boys for the long ride home back to the highs we associate with this pair. 
From an entry at or around 1.61585 I set my profit target my profit target at 1.64000 and after that, the sky is the limit. 
 As for USDJPY I say...Stop being so afraid of 110.00, we all know the banks are going to take this pair to 115.00. I have a video posted (right side of page) that even tells us the likelihood and story of the trip. Below on a 60min chart we can see timid traders waiting for the banks to come back to this pair (and out of EURGBP) to send the price higher for us.
 If you're like me and got in around 105.00 be strong and confident, wait, you'll be happy you did.

Denver

So I just recently flew to denver from  Las Vegas. The first thing I must say is that my plane ride was awesome. It never occurred to me that I'd see some spectacular landscapes until I was leaving the dessert of sandy cliffs and cannons and passing over beautiful mountains and hills dusted in snow. When I arrived at the Denver International airport I could see that it is its own city and after my fiasco at the McHarron airport I wasn't interested in getting lost. Plus I was anxious to see this conspirators wet dream of a mural near the baggage claim area. 
The city of Denver is nice but it's spread out like most of the major cities towards the west-side of the country. The skyline is shadowed by a beautiful mountain skyline that the sun sets behind. So like any good visitor I bought some legal weed, had it delivered and smoked it from the balcony of my hotel. I like Denver
