I appreciate that people are drawn in by dazzling testimonials about huge profits on little investment. But these are all stories and exciting news because they so rarely actually happen. But now that you are interested I would hope that you would look into the advice of the people who actually do this. Yes you can make money trading....but if it were easy everybody would be doing it ...right? As you start learning you may go down many paths but eventually you will find what appeals to you. I would hope, even though we have dashed your hopes of turning 100$ into 1m$ in 6 months upon the rocky shores of despair, that you will not be deterred. I strongly believe that everyone should at least have some understanding of managing their own money even if they do not plan on pursuing it as a career.
