Surf's right...Go ALL THE WAY!!!!!! Idea #1: Buy Coffee future call options in May or June...then pray for a freeze in Brazil for July and get 1.00 pop ( $38,000 on for each 1) but the real question is..."What will you do next?" Possible answers: a. Take your wife shopping for Tiffany necklace-Louis Vuitton hand bag- & Large gift certificate to Nordstroms shoe department. (you'll get lucky FOR SURE) b. Take your family to Maui...sign up for Hula Lessons...then sit in VIP section for The Hyatt Luau. ( No action from wife...too sunburned) c. Open up stock account and follow Jim Cramers advice on WHAT & WHEN to buy (Now you can post an ET "trade Journal" for all of us to make wagers what the FINAL outcome will be)
As you can see, the general advice is don't even bother trying cause no 1 on this site pretty much ( well me ) can't make a bean trading. Keep it as a hobby, keep the losses to hobby money and maybe you'll learn a new skill and make a lot of cash, odds are you won't, but 100% sure you won't if you don't try.
You don't make a bean because you are gambling. Only if you knew how to grow beans, there would be plenty to be had. Making beans take time and effort. It's not the slightest like going to the casino. BTW, going to the casino every day and gamble all day long is not putting in the time and effort. That's just gambling addiction.
Isn't there more money in programming ? A contract would give you 100k+, and you don't have to gamble. It would be a no brainer if someone can learn to be a pro programmer for $500. Maybe spend another $500 to learn to be a brain surgeon. That'll pay more than 100k.
Everything in life is a gamble, I blew 2K on a programming course when I was 22, total scam, crap out of date course, zero chance of work after, it's all a chance. 100k+ for a programming contract LOL those where the days, £75 gbp is the best I've earned so far, normally get £30.
Nonsense. With $500 and a car, I paid for a liquor delivery license. I now have a small business paying me about $4000/month after expenses, and I'm free to trade as a hobby from my iPad during slow periods throughout the day.
