One day I woke up one day to find a little extra cash sitting in a money market earning 1.5% a year. The next year it was earning 3%... wow - 3% a year. I felt my money should be put to better and more productive use and I started looking into all kinds of franchise opportunities and other businesses to invest in... but they all had one drawback - the financial investment was large but so was the investment of time... something I really didn't have as a father of four. So after years of 'hit or miss' trading I started thinking about trading as a real business about 2 1/2 years ago - buying and selling stocks and options as a 'business'. I didn't know if it could be done, but the idea intrigued me. I knew somebody, somewhere was making a killing in the markets and I was determined to find them, learn everything they know and make a killing of my own. I was determined to run my trading as a business, not as a gambler, and that meant looking at opportunities, supply and demand, marketplace dynamics and managing my business based on solid business fundamentals: profit, loss, expenses, overhead and return on investment. Like any business my only concern was to buy something that I could sell at a profit - and with enough of a profit margin so that my expenses (although small) were covered leaving me with a consistent and reliable income. The business of trading has all of these advantages. Once you know the system, this business can be managed in 15 minutes a day. http://tradeprosysem.blogspot.com/#
