Trading system returns versus starting a lawn mowing company

Discussion in 'Trading' started by wxytrader, Mar 28, 2024.

  1. If you have allotted 25k at the beginning of the year to a trading system, what return would you expect?

    For example if you put the money into a lawn mowing company:

    25k for a truck, and a ride along mower at say $20 per hour, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week= $2400 per month.

    Anything less than that and you might as well start mowing lawns right?
     
  2. Elite Yard Service?

    It makes sense.

    For trading, you can consider compounding.
    Whether you trade with
    1 lot, 10 lots or 100 lots,
    you use exactly the same equipment/strategy/effort.


    Whether you want to start a WXY Lawn Service is up to you.

    Imagine all those hot milfs needing their lawn being mowed ... definitely the second option

    Good. Then most likely your equity curve will grow exponentially (see my earlier post).
     
  9. Yes currently using 3 lawn mowers :)

    seems like the opportunity cost of mowing is much greater. Takes a lot of time, you cannot do other things concurrently, no secondary benefits (ie. learning). If you can get a robot mower similar to farming GPS controlled tractors then do it at scale. Then automate your system as well. QED
