Is learning the trading business like learning any other business?

    Exactly what question is the OP asking… ;
    (I don’t think he really knows)



    My business;
    Has a business plan
    Is registered with the fed and state
    Has monthly expenses
    Pays salaries
    Pays taxes
    Has quarterly meetings
    etc.., etc… etc……

    What does my business do – trade

    So…

    Is learning the “trading business” – like learning any other “business” (the question OP asked) – of course
    (A business is a business)


    However...

    Is learning the “business” of trading – like learning any other business (possibly what the OP meant) – of course not
    (no more than learning the business of hamburger making is like learning the business of selling lawn mowers)



    On another note;

    Trading is gambling

    Obviously you can think otherwise if it suits your purpose, (we are all free to think what we do)… But reality is just that – and what we think does not really matter – no more so than in the “business” of trading



    Just food for thought, and nothing more – from a dumbass redneck


    Johno,
    Happy Holidays to You and Your Family Sir

  2. i feel disgusted when people associate trading with gambling. get over yourselves, IT IS NOT A GAME OF LUCK.

    trading is a business. yeah there is no marketing or client service but thats what makes everyone think it is easy. there are thousands of profitable traders who refuse to waste their time posting here and what are we left off with ?? a bunch of crybabies who are looking for evidence supporting the fact that they can't trade.

    if u think trading is not a business just because it seems harder well then go start an automanufacturing plant or a search engine and let me know how easy that is.

    cheers,

  4. I think trading is more like fishing.

    There are many ways to fish. You have different techniques, different baits, and different technologies to use.

    Some just shoot the fish in the barrel.

    Iv'e noticed that that those you see in Las Vegas casinos seem to be similar to the locals you see in the Chicago pits.

    It's easy to shoot a fish in the barrel, but it's very difficult to find a barrel with fish.
