3k would be a good start

If you learn how to watch trends you can buy low sell high
A while back when everyone was in a panic when the market was down..I was buying up all that. Low stock


Made 112%. Profits last year on LNG

Please please talk to someone who does this for a living They will get you lined out. A Roth IRA with mutual funds is a good place to start, then you can start 'day trading' with individual stocks once you figure out what you are doing.

Remember the other day when 'W' was on here talking how much he could sell his boat for above what he paid and then he came out with some percentage he figured!

Talk to a professional

Go the "Trading Floor" tab in the main menu. There are a few topic there that cover this subject of how to get started in investing.

After looking at about 60 different data considerations.....Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Inc [SPPI] is my top rated stock this past week.

W..... I saw that LNG was up to $14+ a couple of days ago..... did you get back in it?

I admire you man!

You'll be surprised that by 47 (like me) you will not only want a "paid" for boat, but it will not have to be the lastest greatest baddest mostest expensive one out there either.

between the ages of 23 and 33 I went through four Bullets and Two Allisons.......man I wished I had those bones back in my bank account!!

Stay the course, you will be soooooo damn glad you did.
