    6k monthly nut tells me you need to get debt free first before making any decision.

  3. I'll assume that your asking this question means that he <i>doesn't</i> fit this category, and is one of the exceptions to the general rule.
    I never ruled out the existence of exceptions, so there's no disagreement here.

    I would trade other people's money. That's where the real money is.

    Trading your own money should remain a hobby in my opinion.
    You shouldn't trade money that you can't afford to loose, because if you do, trust me, you'll loose it with high probability.

  6. Finally a voice of reason. If these traders are telling the truth. They are all in the top 1% of allmoney managers worldwide. This reminds me if the Internet bull market. Messed up!

  7. No offense, but I guess you don't understand that most public info about trading is designed to lead the public down the wrong road. Do you really think ptj would tell the world what he is really doing? I knew this board was naive but this is ridiculous pointing toward 1980's photos as evidence.

    No offense but if you knew anything about PTJ, you would know he is a very private person and why he bought the copyright to Trader and allows no one to reproduce it.
