donated it to the market.

if you do not use that money, try to build a business then sell it. that is the best!just like Mr.wonderful.

trading is not a good idea. since the idea of trading is extract money from the market, not put money into the market. trading needs good quality of the people: discipline, focus, intelligence, patience, also swift, quick action, shreward, cold mind.... the requirements for a trader is very high!

or in another word, you need the skills and knowldge. money is just one side, but not the critical side. even big banks or investment banks they blow up, like lethman brothers? do they have money, yes. tons of tons of ... but they lack the skill of money management!



or you can have fun in las vagas, buy lottery, you may win huge.
