Futures Trader seeks backing

  1. I have a freind that took out a $25,000 home equity loan to buy Sleepys stock. Bought it around $8 and a month later it was down by at least half. Never to recover.

    How bad does that suck? Lost on the trade and you still have to pay off the loan.

  2. do you have a disclosure document approved by the NFA/CFTC to trade futures. Otherwise I would be very careful how to try to raise money publiclly. Even if someone was interested and they gave you money and you lost it, you have exposed yourself to much retribution and liability from the cftc.

    What did you do wrong that you ended up day trading stocks? I scalped treasury the past 2 weeks and made good money. But I'm new to it so am curious to what could go wrong doing this in the long run. Thanks.

  6. Open a credit card, take out $10k from it(cash advance), zero % financing for first 6 months, then keep paying off card with new card, until you made enough trading to pay off your 0% credit card.
    been there, Done that, it works, but risky.

    Why only ask for $10Gs, might as well ask for some real cash.

    Hey, I'll take the $10,000 and make someone filthy rich. I'm not the best trader, I'm the worst. Since I lose on almost every trade, I'll simply trade an investors account by always taking the opposite position from mine. From my track record, how could anyone lose?
