You are right - I opened a scottrade acct with $1200 and never took a dime out or added a dime. I now trade 1,2 or 3 subs a day at 3 or 4K per play. Chump change to some, but my goal is to get up to $30K and that will be my investing money and I will pocket anything over that at the end of each month.
Exactly my position. Just starting out and I only have about $160 in SKGO right now. Paying off student loans and trying to save for a house are keeping me from being able to throw too much money around. This morning I thought I was getting a steal when my purchase at 0.0085 went through, but I'm kicking myself for being impatient.
