I know of so many who dropped their jobs to take up trading as a life time carrier despite the volatility of the market. A whole lot made hudge fortune from the market. So many made what the have never achieved throughout their life time in office jobs in few trades. Some other set abandoned their jobs and took up a carrier in trading mentorship. This has brought hudge fortune to traders who understand their market analysis at large.
Would trading be called an occupation if this be the case. I ask because I see a whole lot of persons who see trading as gambling and even discourage prospective traders not to venture into such. Is trading really gambling or does it in any way have similarities with gambling. This part has to be clearified because it is really bringing heavy argument in our society.
Serious trading requires time, effort and hard work to learn and has nothing to do with gambling. It's a profession which isn't coming easy and a lot of people never turn consistently profitable no matter how hard they try. The problem is, that the gamblers, the get-quick-rich guys and the scammers define the picture the society has about traders.
