    I guess anything is possible on the internet now a days and this article proves it. A canadian was able to trade his way up with a red paper clip to owning a house!
    This was all done on a popular trading site and was completed in almost exactly a year.

    Its unbelievable what can be done with the internet today; what's next? :blink:
