Trading system returns versus starting a lawn mowing company

[wxytrader]

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

Oh yes those gps mowers are to be considered...the gps not the wired version. I think the target group as mentioned would be milfs and divorcees. No learning? You would learn the most efficient way to mow. Just last year I learned that doing counter-clockwise circles at first is good to not blow the clippings onto the driveway. Although the mower acts as a pretty good blower too. Also, just imagine all the time you would have to ponder things while mowing...like how to make more money in stocks.

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?

95% of traders be riding above. Most trade for the dream of riches when they don't understand the work involved in getting to expert level, years/decades of testing/studying to get better.

Most who make profits daily NEVER post on forum have fears of inadvertently writing how they trade.

Don't need 25k to make a living to start, if you good enough one can fund account with 3k and trade one contract of Emini S&P. Don't shoot for the moon, net target $100 a day, every 2 grand, add a contract. Eventually add Crude oil, currencies...just netting a C note a day.

If you can't do it with small account, large account will be lost.

Be smart, buy 3 trucks and hire kids to cut lawns and charge more.

Lol I'm just using an example guys. I'm testing out some stuff before I size up.
And let's not glorify this...trading is one of the easiest ways to make money for a novice. No novice is going to walk into a black belt karate tournament, or Wimbledon and win, but novices win all the time trading. The only skill trading actually takes is pressing the buy button and pressing the sell button.

Yes Daniel son was technically a novice before Miyagi trained him...

Good Morning wxytrader,

There is no way I would I ever never start a business in America in 2024, its like throwing money in the fire.

Trading is the only way to get rich. All other ways is a scam.

Selling large amounts of illegal drugs and day trading is the ONLY way to get rich in America in less than 2 years.

Unless you enter the lying selling business of trading services and products. But even selling trading products and services is too much competition. You need strong marketing team to lie very well.

You guys. I'm not starting up a lawn mowing business lol. I was just comparing it to trading. How many of you have annual returns of over 80% because that is the expected annual return for mowing lawns and it is more than the average annual return of the renaissance fund...pretty sure most of you aren't pulling in those numbers.
