Hey Millionliras, in retrospect I know I'm old enough to be your DAD so get down to sucking my knee-caps. And you teach me about investments??? Didn't know that your degree from the Bronx school of Finance made you a player, damn schmuck. Get a real college degree before you even try to understand the basics of trading, smart ass. "But i don't see how you could make significant $$$ without access to huge capital" I'm on the trading side for a major investment bank and this statement is the fact here. Even if the forum members here have very little capital (as you said), you could make money by leveraging the little you have relentlessly (200:1 or in some cases 400:1 in the FX mkts). This way, you have "access to huge capital" that could help increase your gains exponentially. By the looks of it, it seems to me that you've never even traded before in your life at all as you know of no such minor details. My advice to you nani, is to go back to scool, get a job at one of the big boys and ONLY then talk about trading with me, fu(king loser!!
