Reading many of these responses is quite comical, I am yet to receive any type of negative/satanic/evil/useless type references from people. Although, I tend to keep my business to myself. I'm surprised I haven't yet seen this recommended, but why not just say, "Business Owner," "I run my own Business," etc. You are theoretically doing this anyway. "Fun manager" "Money manager" "Private equity manager" all sound good as well.

The class of person in which you are being questioned by makes a huge difference. Unfortunately, most of the population is idiotic at best, when they hear that you are able to be successful by simply "Staring at a computer" they become jealous/envious which sparks the comments. Most of the world feels that the only way to have legitimate "work" or have a "job" is to go work for a boss making shit money and struggling through your life, that's the sad reality of the population.

wow, "theoretical", that's deep,

hey, I agree with your post that too many find it hard to believe in entrepreneurship, as if that doesn't happen, and isn't possible anymore.

shame,

basically if one makes between $100 - $225 daily, then does one really realize that they have trumped even the $100,000 salaried workers?,

here's to popping the cork and enjoying the daily gains!

good trading to us all!

$521 / hr. 8 hrs a day, 40 days a week, 10 months out of the year, leads to a $1000000/yr income.

That is the number I remember when I am thinking about my business, trading, or real estate. Comes out to about $5000/day at (216 days / yr).

**All pre tax of course.

You really know how to fill up your week ........

one too many whacks to the head with that chart full of oscillators .....

Making a million before taxes comes out to just under $3900 assuming you trade each day, not including the occasional holiday. So be safe and make $4000

Not sure why you would calculate it hourly though, one of the greatest things about being a business owner/trader/investor is that you are no longer stuck exchanging hourly time for a sum of money.

Also, don't limit yourself to only working 40 hours if you are truly building something great. Think about how much more you could get done if you doubled that number.
