    You can't spend margin. It's not money. Sorry

    This is juvenile that's for certain. All I know is, I get to $100MM, I'm done. Buy a few exotic women to cook and care for me and live in cool weather.


    :cool:

  5. Nothing personal, but your ambition is weak, you'll end up working your whole life shooting for a low goal. I don't mean to be a jerk but think big, that's all.

  8. Jesse Livermore """"supposedly""" was worth $350,000,000 after the Great Depression...
    Not sure how that would exactly translate today after inflation, but definitely well over $1 billion


    Relatively, he would've been on a level that is equivalent to a billionaire today.

  9. "Traders in Forbes?"

    I would be surprised if there are "traders who barely break-even".

  10. That's because you're obtuse. There are plenty of profitable traders a small number of whom post right here on the P/L thread. Most do so to show newbs it can be done.

    It can only be done if you have an open mind, therefore you have no chance. Enjoy the rat race.
