So I am sure you have heard about people who make their living by being day traders. These are people who buy stocks and only hold them for a few hours. As soon as they go up a few pennies, the day traders sell them. While they only make a tiny amount per transaction, they multiply their gains through volume. In a few hours, a stock may go from $10 per share to $10 and 2 cents per share. Yet, if you bought $10,000 worth, you just made an easy $200. The key is to learn how to spot a stock that is on its way up while at the same time dumping stocks heading the wrong way. As with comedy and milk left out of the refrigerator, timing is everything. You just have to be ready to act as soon as you see changes in value.

Now, for the successful day trader, you have a great life. You can work as little as three hours each day. Just make sure to clear you accounts into safe holdings when you log off. You can spend the rest of the day enjoying your wealth. I think a good goal for a day's work is to earn $2,000. Work about twenty days each month so that you have $40,000 coming in. Then take one month off for vacation every quarter. You can certainly afford it.

I find the real key to wealth is knowing how to spend it. Go see the world, buy great wine and nice paintings. How about a mountain bike? You will find that amassing large amounts of money can really make a difference. I know the saying "money can't buy happiness," but don't you think the guy who thought that up was dirt poor? He certainly was not a successful day trader, right?
