not sure which investments you look at...money markets? o.0

Ive got my bonds that earn 15% return after tax, which means that either I can buy a house for R1m and trade with R0.5m and then get an salary on the side of another R43k per month (or I could pay rent and earn R 50k per month) plus I can leave my trading account to grow as well.

R40k per month should cover any drawdown I have on a R 500k account.

If all you got and start full time trading with R100000 you'll be competing for a spot in the parking lot with the other car guards by the 2nd month.

yes, lets settle on R500k then. The R100k minimum is based on buying at least 2 ALSi contracts and living off your wife or parents.

well, just make sure your wife is rich, or she may be competing for the car guard!

Don't forget that this is a BBEEE position! You may not even be eligible for this.

Interesting ..... I genuinely doubt that there are ANY traders (in this forum) who have made a living from trading. Yes - some INVESTMENTS might have done well but real trading? Eventually you will get wiped out. Some good wins - possibly in the short term? I would define a trader as someone who trades almost daily...not Simon's "easy / lazy" systems.

Traders who trade the ALSI, intraday or day trade : that's the holy grail. You don't hear of the ones who have made it in the general media. But they are it there , you have to be one to know one.

mullet, trading is anything sold within three years of buying to my thinking (and SARS) ..

In fairness - SARS would like to make that 30 years. So that is the test that may just keep on giving. (LoL)
