$500 a day isnt really such a huge edge to give up. Especially with the upside in futures trading being so great, this might be a blessing in disguise (all these stock costs)?
I'm not a stock guy, only futures/options.. but for $25000 share trade, are you paying $124 plus ECN fees (whatever and however much they are?) I'm not a stock guy AT ALL..no fuckin idea..
LOL... Ross Perot would have been a nice start. I would say Ron Paul, but that would just be ignorant in my case right? For he is a nut and a kook. To bad this nut and Kook has been telling us all what was going to happen and so far so good in his case. I guess you can't teach common sense. I guess what separates me from many (not all) americans is I read the figures set in stone and try my best not to make decisions just based off feelings and what others tell me with out due diligence.
Thats the main reason I stopped trading stocks and went to futures. I wish I had done it 10 years ago. You get in, you get out, you go to the bank. Fuck the middlemen, its 4.20 round trip/car and its done. So let's say you trade the ES with 3 contracts as a start and grab 2 points. That's 300-12.60 commission.
