Because most traders are greedy and scared. You can't worry about losses. You have to be willing to cut them. You don't have to win on every...
I know of a direct access broker that gives you 4x buying power with less than $25k. However, they only let you have it if you are not a pattern...
I'd go with a stable (if there is such a thing) high volume nasdaq stock like CSCO or INTC.
