    As someone who used to own a business, I can tell you that being an entrepreneur is much harder than trading. Trading you are competing against the market. It's very hard, no argument.

    With a business, you competing against any number of businesses, taxes, regulations, all the problems with employees, customers, maintaining cash flow, and on and on. If you think starting a business is a panacea, well good luck to you!

  4. Guys, trading is NOT HARD once you understand what you are doing and HOW to approach the mkts. Until then, its a seriously dangerous place to play.

  5. Absolutely wrong.

    In a business you can easily be the most creative and smartest guy in your business. You can easily dominate your niche. Not so in the market-- the smartest people in earth are your competition. I have run businesses for 30 years and still do. I can state unequivocally that there is no comparison to trading. It is by a large magnitude much more difficult.

  6. Wrong again. Maybe you can eek out a subsitence living in a 3rd tier Midwestern economy. Without major capital and ever changing adaptation you willforeverbe in the middle to lower class even if wildly fortunate.

  8. No, this is incorrect. A forex broker ran a contest where you win by losing the most amount of money. Guess what, the losers still lost by winning this time.

    You can't fade a failure and find success.

  9. Bro, I've been doing this for over 12 years, day in and day out. I think I know what is possible in this business. I live very well, in one of the most expensive areas on the east coast.

    It's not a bragging issue, it's an issue to dispel all the negativity.
