If you have just open a $2000 account,what would you do?

[dozu888]

$2000 is the last thing you want to worry about right now.

your biggest asset is actually YOU! say you make $50k a year, that is like a $1m bond yielding 5%.... why do you focus on the pathetic $2k when you have a $1m portfolio?

so what is the answer?

if you are making $50k, get some training a jump to a job that makes $100k, then more training and jump to a $200k job.... then you become a $4m bond and you have just made $3m!

that's what you need to focus on right now!

What i did 20 years ago was trade stocks, then next 2k furures, then next $200 forex.

20years on, I’d blow it on hookers and walk away never to consider trading again.

Although going full time again next week,got 3 months to make wage+ or get a job and quit.

I would learn price action and trade the micro indexes.

What broker or brokers is best for the new micro indexes?

I think AMP might give really good comm rates. I don’t have an account with AMP but from what I have seen on ET seems like folks are saying they give good rates.

So imagine this fictional situation;you are an expert on every type of market and investments(penny stocks,futures,options,day/swing trading and long term investment) and you just open a $2000 account with an online broker.What would you do?Invest(long term) on an index like SP500?Swing trade stocks(not day trading because of the PDT rule)?Invest all your money in the futures market?Or a combination of various types of investments(like a percentage on long term/swing trading,a percentage on trading futures,etc.)I wanted to ask this because i would like to read diverse opinions and ideas.I found it interesting(for me at least haha).
Thanks in advance .

Reality QFT.

Made me think of someone on a blog claiming to be trading yet couldn't afford to upgrade their 10 year old laggy computer. In that case even part time trading is a questionable use of time.
