what is lazy about trading... Didn't both to read this post before but a question to you macro.
What is so noble about the self-emplyed business owner that buys a product or makes a product for A and then tries to sell it for A + 20% that is so different to traders who try to do the same thing on the markets?
In both cases they take a huge risk. Arguably the conventional business-person takes an even bigger risk because of the often huge commitment of capital and ongoing expenses that are employed upfront in the one investment.
And as figures show, the vast majority do not succeed.
Likewise the market traders.
Those who suggest there is something noble about merely 'having a job' forget that those jobs are often at the whim of management - today you see it, tomorrow its gone. Sure its safer whilst it lasts, but the norm is that many employees particularly in larger organisation feel a complete disconnect between the results a business must achieve, particularly in hard times, and the pay that turns up in their accounts once a fortnight.
This might explain the often abysmal levels of output that many major businesses achieve from their staff - especially white collar. Ahhhh, the joys of email and the internet.
The initial post to this thread is clearly from someone who has no concept of just what risks somebody takes to trade fulltime and achieve success.
It is far easier to go 'back to a real job' and let some other poor bugger work out how to pay you.
