Benefit From Stock Trading

They advertise rarely. It's been around 50 years. The successful people already have it.

A stranger walks up to you. With an enigmatic grin on his face he loudly proclaims, "YOU TOO MAY BECOME A MILLIONAIRE!
Biting, you reply, "HOW MAY I ALSO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE?
The stranger, his grin widening, perfect white teeth showing responds positively, "FIRST YOU MUST OBTAIN A MILLION DOLLARS!"

You too can obtain a million dollars in a single morning's stock trading. In a day, you make enough to purchase your first Gulfstream 5 Stratojet, complete with bar, bathroom, and five lovely stewardesses. Looking through your rearview mirror, you marvel at how small yesterday's problems really were...from 57,000 feet.

Think about it. Rags to riches. In a single day you can go from wondering how you'll pay your cable bill to riding to Brazil in your very own jet eating peanut sandwiches and drinking the latest vintage of champagne.

While we're dreaming here, let's add that you can also lose your next 1057 cable payments in single morning's trading too. Mostly, if you can't afford it, don't do it. Using your credit card, or your wife's butter and egg money to finance a goofy stock speculation doesn't speak well of you as a saavy stock investor.

It tis a bona fide fact that stock trading is considered to be one of the most elegant sources of income there is. The picture most often presented is a country gentleman sitting on his comfy divan, attired in penny loafers and smoking jacket calling his stock broker.. "Chumley, old man. I believe I'll take those pork bellies we were discussing at the club last evening over hors dervies. Take care of it, won't you? Ta ta. Jolly."

In actuality, one of the draws of stock investing is that it can be pursued from home while wearing a golf shirt, or no shirt, shorts, or no shorts, in one's underwear or out. It can be done with a stock broker, or with a laptop computer. It can be done drunk or sober, with a two day old beard, or in a designer suit and tie, if one prefers. One can do it anyway one wants. It's the ultimate work from home routine... And if you want to be a hermit and have your groceries delivered, you can do that to. Ever hear of the Spruce Goose inventor and stay at home investor Howard Hughes? Now that's real class!

Of course, there is a modicum of competition out there. These days, someone whose name you can't pronounce, who lives 13 time zones away, sitting around in their underwear, might just be planning on driving up the stock prices you were planning on buying, after your morning snooze and cartoons. You see, they are in the stock buying motif for the same reason you are. Chances are excellent that the next purchase you make will go totally atomic about 15 minutes after you buy. Remember those invisible carbon credits stocks you didn't purchase? Or maybe the stock in that bottled water plant that you scoffed at?

That's the fun of it. That's the excitement of the chase. That, (and the opportunity to get filthy stinking rich before lunch) is the reason you quit everything you ever knew and dedicate yourself, monk like to that shining little ever changing screen thing you stare at 18 hours a day. You could be the next self made stock trading entrepreneur, laughing all the way to the bank...in Rio de Janeiro. (And just a couple of days ago you couldn't even spell Rio de Janerio, or speak comfortably on the kerosene consumption of the average custom G5 Stratojet!

Of course, there are two ways you can do your part to do your utmost to insure stock happiness and that is to invest in The Prudent Speculator, a Forbes Publication, and the Forbes Special Situation Survey. As investments go, this is pretty much a no brainer. Buy at a low cost, and reap HIGH rewards!
