I'm a full time student;

ZERO loans.
ZERO debt.
My parents don't pay for my car payment.

I work 25 hours a week and I can keep up with my car payments, insurance, gas, food, liquor, eating out (food and bitches), shopping for toys, clothes etc and I pay for my own school; I also haven't asked my parents for a dime since I was 15 -- Now I'm 23.

Not a trust fund baby either..

My only vice is that I still live at home.

It's true that the public is stupid, and that's why I love them so much. It's because of them that I can make so much off of earnings reports.
Anyways, I only see it as being dangerous if you plan on holding a stock for more than a week.

Started saving up for a home?? If not, you will probably be adding a one onto that zero.. I plan to take advantage of free housing until I'm 22 or so as well. (Unless of course I have around 500k before then)

The problem is that you post absolute bullsh*t, that stems from a general lack of maturity and experience.

Unless, of course, you are the absolute best trader in the world. Better than Jim Simmons, Paul Tudor Jones and Driss Ben-Brahim combined.

But please starting this summer post up your trading record. I would make one suggestion though. if you think you can reliably get 3% on 6 trades every week, keep increasing your stake as you go, within 2 years you'll have 2.5 bln and you won't need to bother trading anymore.

You do realize that I stated "Without any losses" in that scenario.
I will however show you that I can make 10%+ in a week, including any losses.

jaiman, can you tell me why you listed those names??
You only know about them because of their large gains, and because they are in the public eye. I don't think you realize how many people jump into the "new money" bracket every year via investing. You just don't hear about their large gains because they choose to remain anonymous.

I listed them because if you can do what you say, you'd be a better trader than them. And I don't believe you are.

New money!! You kill me. You think there are people taking 9 or 10 figure paydays from the market anonymously!? That is hysterical. Every time you post you show your ignorance.

But please, starting in the summer post up your results it would be an amazing story to be able to say that I saw the greatest trader in history, before he became well known, and it all started on a car forum.

And we'll end with a quote "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof".

-Nathan
If you hedge (short or buy/sell options whatever is your thing) then it is not bad, you just can't make that much. You will not make 10% over a year, most people in risky stocks lose money 3 out of 4 years... it is that 1 good year that usually brings the statistics up. If you can afford that and wait it out, good for you. Otherwise you need lots of $$$$ to make anything worth while.

9 and 10 is a stretch, to have that much money to throw at the stock market you are probably the head of a large corp, thus in the public eye.
However, there are a lot more taking in 7 and 8 figures. You act like your reference point, forbes, maps out every single millionaire on this planet..

The only reason anyone claims these people as the greatest traders in history is because of the money they have to throw around. There are tons of people in the world today making larger % gains than them, you just don't hear about them because they aren't billionaires yet.

Do you even know what the term "new money" means??
It also isn't an extraordinary claim, it's quite valid.

It's not about beating the market, it's about beating any bad news that might pop up.

heh.. yep, 10% a year.. When I was 12 or so do you know what my dad discussed with me?? How people were happy if they made 10% a year in profit trading stocks.. Do you know what I then did?? I laughed.

Continue your little flame war, come summertime you'll be asking for tips.

I'm going to come in here to support Expired here on this one. I don't know how much he actually does make in a year because I don't know what transactions he's completed, but I've asked him for stock advice and it's definitely helped me become a better investor.

He's given me fairly detailed info in the PMs exchanged and for that I'm quite grateful. FWIW I don't hold stocks for more than a week or two either and it's definitely paid off. With multiple accounts, buying at the troughs, selling at the peaks and then buying it again at a low (if it gets there or if need be) within a few weeks using a different account to avoid the wash sale rule makes a lot of sense now that commissions are so low.

I bet you don't even know how to calculate risk adjusted returns, do you? I eagerly await the summer.

Oh, btw percentage gains might be nice to brag about, but if your strategy doesn't scale so that you can make serious money with it, then its pretty useless. Although if you're happy making 170k per year daytrading good for you.

The issue with IPOs is that they generally are allocated to the best clients of investment banks and brokers. As a retail client it is very tough to get that inital allocation.
