nine lives

Hello Nine Lives and other full time traders,

I saw in a post that you have been trading full time for about a year and enjoying it.

Just wondering how the dynamic is working for you; how did you get into doing it full time?

I am lucky that I am a prof worker who has access to view the markets regularly during the day, however I would love to be able to do it full time and ditch the job.

Has it been mainly a lifestyle change for you or are you also now finding yourself better off?

My learning and interest has come a long way over the last three months - which has a lot to do with hints and ideas from the Hot Copper constituents (thankyou to all the knowledgable people who have shared their views and experience).

Also, how have people gone in bear markets - my view is that a focus on small cap stocks is less likely to be influenced by outside market conditions - would love to know other views.

I am close to matching my wages over the last three months with trading after a couple of good weeks and now that CVI is only just under water for me (32.1 cents it now owes me).

Thanks for any insight from Nine Lives or anyone else that has got this far in my rambling!

Cheers

Tim
