I don't. But I have read stories of individuals who ventured into stock trading and made a living out of it. I recently read of a lady on BBC who dropped out of school due to financial problems, got trading stock and she's become real good and successful from it. But I think those stories are a rarityI am posting this question just out of curiosity. Some friends who are into stocks are enjoying the trading not really for the profit but for the occupation. It is like they are betting that they monitor the stock prices every day. But for the profit, that is what I am interested in. Our stocks are sleeping for 3 years now and although the value has increased twofold we have no intention to sell for now.
