Good for him of course, I was thinking of doing that, would have to learn the ropes of it through a simulation first of course ... If any of you cool people have any tips for me that would be greatly appreciated..
thanks

Hi AD,
I'd just be cautious doing this...I just say that from experience. I had the same plan in college...had about 10K at the time...I did well for a while, got a big head, then had my ass handed to me on a couple bad trades. I've been a broker for 11 years now and rarely see anyone consistently make good money trading on a short term basis.
Maybe try to do something with your bodybuilding/health interest. There are a ton of ways to monetize something like that online.
