Trading system returns versus starting a lawn mowing company

W

wxytrader

If you have allotted 25k at the beginning of the year to a trading system, what return would you expect?

For example if you put the money into a lawn mowing company:

25k for a truck, and a ride along mower at say $20 per hour, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week= $2400 per month.

Anything less than that and you might as well start mowing lawns right?

It makes sense.

For trading, you can consider compounding.
Whether you trade with
1 lot, 10 lots or 100 lots,
you use exactly the same equipment/strategy/effort.


Whether you want to start a WXY Lawn Service is up to you.
 
seems like the opportunity cost of mowing is much greater. Takes a lot of time, you cannot do other things concurrently, no secondary benefits (ie. learning). If you can get a robot mower similar to farming GPS controlled tractors then do it at scale. Then automate your system as well. QED
