If you take a look at brokers etc. they do this for a living but with other peoples money... makes one think...Over the last few years a one arm one legged, blind recently castrated monkey could have made a living from trading with a sufficiant starting capital but what about when the bear wakes up? sure you can still make money in a bear market but it wont be easy... and you may have to stock up on baked beans, since you could go a few months with no income... An ideal situation would be to have a few properties from which you earning rental income on a monthly basis, maybe a lump sum in the bank earning interest and then quit your job and take up trading knowing that when the bear comes a knocking you still have enough income from othe investments to cover your lifestyle. Ideally this is what Im working towards and i've given myself 30 years to get there starting from scratch... 3 down - 27 to go...
