Stupid. Finish what you started. Put half of that money in CDs, fully fund a Roth IRA for 2008 and put $10k into an IB account to paper trade. Do not trade cash at this time. Papertrade. At least a year. Read this site completely. You will learn more from diverse posters because a book is just one point of view, and here you get opinions of assholes and professionals alike. There are two ways to learn lessons, easy or hard. You wanting to jump in headlong is the hard way. Your choice.
so much negativity lol fine i wont quit school even though i think its a waste of time i better learn a crapload from these forums then well thx for the advice every1 -Taylor
B&Q in Wigan have some vacancies I believe. It's a pleasant little town that has lovely bakeries that sell great meat and potato pies - they speak a funny language but it's quite easy to pick up. The weather isn't great and on weekends the local youths provide some very bloodthirsty caveman-like entertainment in the form of streetfighting. Wigan also has some great looking birds who go over like bambi on ice after a couple of Blue Wickeds. That is my advice. You will have good fun (not in the job granted but hey beggars/choosers etc), and you will get to keep your 40000 bucks. Which you will undoubtedly spunk should you persue a career in trading. Your last two lines are frightening. Stay away for your own good. Alternatively - come in and be eaten
