Based on my research (not experience) the only way to make millions playing just stocks, if you're not a hedge fund, is to hit the leverage hard & very hard. Here I'm talking about stocks that trade at least $1 or more. A better strategy for raking in those millions is to go with options & futures contracts. They are more complex, obviously, but the upside is much more. Of course everything comes down to how much capital you start out with. The average retail investor has less than 25K at their disposal, hence the PDT rules imposed by FINRA to keep them out. So someone with 5-10K starting out could make a million much faster if he/she went with an options/futures strategy and hedged their stock ETF's with calls/puts.
