Do any of you make a full time living at this? if so what advice can you give.

juzzle,

An excellent post IMHO.

Yes
And you have to be an addict and willing to work very long hours!

Some days you have to spend hours doing nothing, so a good comfortable chair is important... oh and some sort of exercise machine as well... if you really don't want to leave the screens (cos the markets always do things just as you leave the room)

Just like the old saying 'you don't have to be mad to work here........................'
Good luck and on days like today you will need it :-))

I forgot to add the extra requirements for the chair...
but I will leave that to your imagination ;)

Exit Matty1 to upgrade his CV..... no Matty don't give in yet, this is a sensible thread. Call in GD's cafe :-))

I make me livin` out of a few good horses a year and use the market as a tax loss. didn`t intend to but the manipulators always seem to downtrend my hopefulls. Have a fiver on Marching Song at Folkestone tomorrow evening and see how easy it can be ??? NO GUARANTEES mind you. Again, you have to do your own research !!!

Funny that you should say that Snakey. As a bit of fun, I began to subscribe to a horse tipster. I am amazed how successful it has been. I have upped the size of my bets now and though it's still early days I actually think I can make a decent income from it.

I've always been wary of gambling on horses but it proves that with the right selection and good money management you can make a success of it.

Now where have I heard that before?

Who is your tipster please??

Sorry SW. That would telling. The more that back the horse the smaller price I get. You understand.
But they are out there. Just don't throw them in the bin. Give them a try and see if it works for you, but find one that you can try before you buy.

Okay Harlosh, will do.

Like a bit of fun with the GG's but I can't pick an arguement usually.

I do very well from the markets but despite that, people ignore what I say. It would appear that dreaming is an important part of making money from markets and hard work and sensible strategies are for losers who have only been going fourteen years or so!

Everyone say AHHHH????......surely not.
