Professional traders make a lot more than 1k per week, thought, right? I would imagine most in that category would be at least at $200K per year. $52k a year ($1k per week) for working a few hours a day trading from home would be great. But if he works anywhere near 40 hours a week, that isn't worth it given the risk he is putting up with and the total lack of benefits, vacation, etc.
This. I trade daily, and while not in the realm of 100K, having $0 trading fees is a luxury that is nice.
I've actually been thinking a bit about what to do with extra money, but I have zero desire to learn financial markets to make my own investment decisions, and anything else I threw money into would be way too long term for me to care about. What else do people do so their money can make money? Is gambling the only other route?
yeah for real. I dunno why I even went with sharebuilder to begin with. What do/have you used? The closer Hillary gets to the white house the more gun stock looks delectable.
Literally just made 150 seconds ago off Tarheels first half. But lost 50 this morning with Spain going 0-0. It's a headache sometimes but if you're disciplined and do your research it can be a lot of fun and profitable. edit: a friend of mine flips cemetery plots in bobo towns. His dream one day is to buy and sell in a market like NYC where plots go for 100k+ a piece.
Do you follow all the sports you bet on? The only reason I bet on MMA at all is because I've followed it for many years, I haven't kept up with any other sports besides football for a really long time.
I've used etrade forever, but also use Robin Hood. I'm long on most stuff, so I don't dabble daily. Mostly pharm stem cell companies for when that wave hits, hopefully in my lifetime.
Not bad for a kid. Doesn't take much to start. Anybody can PM me and I'll send a link that will get you 300 free trades to start at TD Ameritrade if you deposit $3000. Cash bonus also for amounts over $25,000. If you prefer cheaper commissions, especially on options, I can send you a link optionshouse that will get you 100 free trades after depositing $5,000.
I assume he's a professional, trading with his firm's money. Probably THE most basic lesson is managing your capital. So there's no way he'd make a trade using 100% of what he has available. That's how you know he's working with more than 150k. Good traders easily make 10k+ a month. Great traders probably pull 50+. The top dogs at his firm are probably pulling 200k+ consistently. But they're not all scalpers like he is.
Not all. Most of the guys I know would've definitely done the same. A lot more to life than fat ankles and hairy pits.
Only hockey religiously. But basketball and football are much better to bet on because lack of random variables. It's more about studying trends, news, and judging if a line is weak or not imo. Far from steady income though. I've maybe made 1-2k total profit since last summer on 70-100k worth of bets. At that rate it's more for fun than a legit second source of income.
I worked for Blockbuster for a little while long ago. They actually turned down buying out netflix when netflix came and offered themselves to be bought. I had a netflix subscription while working at Blockbuster lol. Because of my work I thought and talked about netflix a good amount and thought it was going to be big, even before they started streaming (and I knew Blockbuster had terrible business sense for many reasons besides the netflix fiasco). I'd tell others then that if I had a bunch of money to invest I'd use some to short sell Blockbuster, and split the rest between netflix and Apple. Not hidden gems or anything, and it took many more years before their stocks actually went way up, but they were quality companies run well with innovative bosses and ideas that were taking off and their popularity was only increasing. I even told my dad at one point about netflix in particular and really tried to sell him on investing at least something in it but he stuck only with his whatever fund he has that hasn't made him nearly the return netflix would've. This was all back when Blockbuster's stock was around $15 to $20 and netflix and Apple's were only a few dollars each. Fast forward to today, and yeah, if I'd had some money then I'd have had so much more money today. If I'd had say $50,000 to invest in those then I'd have well over 5 million today. *cries* Sucks being poor.
Speaking of hairy, I just got scared shitless for the second time this week on FB by photos of a girl I knew in college. I remember she was naturally cute but now... Too much blush, too much eyeshadow...eyebrows that would put Eugene Levy to shame. Sure, she still has her body because she works in fitness, but what the fuck has she done to her face. Sometimes less is more, ladies. Remember:
