    Commission Rates

    commissions vary from firm to firm, and also matters if the firm is a broker/dealer, sub llc, or a firm who doesnt mark up commissions but takes a higher payout if you trade 200k-300k shares a month you are looking at .004 to .006 range

    Trading as a business

    If it is possible, trade part time and have a full time job. I feel traders on the west coast have an edge as we trade from 6:30-1-00pm (equity markets) which allows one to trade first 2-3 hours of the day and still can work a 9-5 or ideally 10-6 style shift.

    the houses you listed are out in the sticks (or wasteland) Do not buy out in the wasteland areas. I still think I would hold off in PHX, AZ as there 50,000 + homes for sale, unemployment still remains high, and the home buyer tax credit will expire soon causing the demand to fall off soon...
