If you have just open a $2000 account,what would you do?

$2000 is the last thing you want to worry about right now.

your biggest asset is actually YOU! say you make $50k a year, that is like a $1m bond yielding 5%.... why do you focus on the pathetic $2k when you have a $1m portfolio?

so what is the answer?

if you are making $50k, get some training a jump to a job that makes $100k, then more training and jump to a $200k job.... then you become a $4m bond and you have just made $3m!

that's what you need to focus on right now!

 

aint that what these prop shops give you? like e2t and tst...

 

The avg US income is $50K a year. Get a job and build a real trading stake, like $30-$40K

 

What i did 20 years ago was trade stocks, then next 2k furures, then next $200 forex.

20years on, I’d blow it on hookers and walk away never to consider trading again.

Although going full time again next week,got 3 months to make wage+ or get a job and quit.

 

What broker or brokers is best for the new micro indexes?

 

I think AMP might give really good comm rates. I don’t have an account with AMP but from what I have seen on ET seems like folks are saying they give good rates.

 

Passbook Savings

 

$100 opening min, $50 margin on NQ i think maybe YM? Open a trial $200 account next week.

 

Reality QFT.

Made me think of someone on a blog claiming to be trading yet couldn't afford to upgrade their 10 year old laggy computer. In that case even part time trading is a questionable use of time.
