Come on... It is an $100 billion turnover a year business model and I'm the first to admit that there are scams out there but get your facts straight... Besides that, I know more people personal that has made it with mlm then with trading...
I figured Jordan did it because he supposedly made two million a year playing basketball but 20 million a year from endorsements.
Yup, I am also in this dilemma.. Also to add, I was initially looking for a side business/job. which would be after 4 pm ET. ie. after the markets have closed. I think may be evening shifts at some restuarants/liquor store, hotel front desk. I think Hotel front desk sounds like a no stress job. and best is we have a laptop with internet access. hmm. On a side note, since we trade with Computers all day. an ideal side job would be something which would make us interact with real people in the outside world.
As I have stated before, I live at the intersection of the Bible Belt, Corn Belt, and Rust Belt. The tattoos and the accompanying Harley Davidsons are a Rust Belt thingy.
