I am just shocked that he can still deal drugs when being in the army given the rigorous and tightly structured schedule that military personnel follows.
Is active trading a viable job for an individual?

I’ll be the first one to give you an honest answer... No.... short term intra day trading is like playing blackjack for a living. The market is completely random. Take your income from your job and invest in some high quality American companies. If you want to leverage up and limit risk use deep itm options. You will 100% do better in the long run. Trading is a waste of time for most folks.
The markets aren’t random. They are very competitive, complex, and fickle.
And amidst all the trainings and everything, he still had the time and energy? That is one productive man! LOL
On a short term intra day basis they are random.tell me how much money have you made trading? Big fat zero
clearly they aren't random on a short term intraday basis. if they were, how could high frequency shops produce the sharps they do?
To the clueless, the markets appear random.
Again, this is not how the real world works. People are mainly selfish and thinks what benefits themselves. What is usually good for the employer is usually bad for the employee. There is usually a middle point to everything. Employers wants employee to work hard but get pay low. Employee in return will do the bare minimum to not get fired. Those employee that are working super hard, do you really think they are doing it out of a sense of obligation to do hard work? Maybe if they were some old dude who grew up in the 30's and is out of touch with today's modern business environment. Likely they are working hard so they can chase that promotion or pay raise.
There's a lot of little crab mentality in the work force too. Like you can be talented and work hard but then your other co worker start to hate on you thinking you're trying to one up them. Then next thing you know they are secretly backstabbing you. It's a lot of stupid office politics. Supervisors can be envious too, they do not like someone who might take their job someday.
This is a the natural law of the business world. Or Business Jungle. Hehe.
The market is semi-random, and semi-predictable -- but you also have to be loose, patient, malleable, open-minded, and able to adapt.
This is speaking from a strictly daily, or intraday, basis.
The market may or may not move on your time scale, in your given direction.
It's ok to be 100% wrong in your initial predictions all the time...so long as you're not stubborn enough to stick with it, and instead reverse it.
I think the market today...is prime for a dip, at this 11:26am moment. -- But I'm not betting on it, Just yet...I need more conviction and signs.
Economic reports were bad/or mixed, and Europe/Asia averaged down. The market is kind of hovering unnecessarily high for today, at this moment from open.
