$100k per year, with the risk of trading, is about equivalent to $25k a year in a steady job. And that's assuming you average $400 per day, as opposed to making it sometimes.
Midlifeguy I can surely relate to your excitment. I just started trading July 21st of this year. I've done over 200 trades so far and pocketed $4200. Not much for 2 months work, but I'm very grateful that I'm up. I'm very aware that one big mistake and all that profit can disapear. RIG and NE are my favorites I have traded them 80% of the 200. Good luck to you and never let your guard down. RIG is a real fast mover--Be careful.
Thanks Bearnbull, I am up about $15,000 in 3 months...not staggering but paying the bills...RIG is my all time favorite stock to trade...you can feel the change take place. Take care
