If there is money to invest, mining will be an option not bad. My country lives relatively cheap electricity prices, benefits are not lower than trading.
You better know the aspects of mining, that is great. Mostly people want to start mining as they get it through general aspect and that doesnt let them go deep in facts that are needed. For mining, every other thing just works fine except electricity. As systems must be strong and they should be running for whole day and consuming extra power, so cheap electricity must be provided.
