I should preference this by telling you that I do not day trade for a living. However, it is a reality that you can make day trading a career or a part time job to generate extra income. Personally I do it as a hobby in order to generate income. There are two very big differences if you are considering getting involved in the Stock, Option or Forex markets. You need to decide and be realistic about what you are really looking to do. Do you want to make some extra or do you want this to be your full time job?
There are two major differences between doing this as a full time or part time. Obviously the first is time, are you committed to being in front of your computer 6-7 hours a day and the extra hours required doing research. Secondly, if you are doing this as a full time job, then you will most likely be learning a trading “system” or specific trading techniques. The emphasis will be on a system and not on individual stock selection.
If you are looking to do this as a hobby or part time then your emphasis will be on specific stock selection. Generally you will need to use some of the popular stock picking services that are available. If you think you can pick stocks on your own then I would think twice about getting into this business. There are people that get paid a lot of money that still cannot do it on a consistent basis.
It does not matter if you do this full or part time you are going to need help and support to be successful. The full time traders that I know were trained by professionals and only after several years, as mentors were able to successful begin trading at home on their own. It should once again be noted that they are “traders” and not “stock pickers”; they have a trading system and techniques that make them successful. I hope this information makes you think what is the best way for you to start in the trading business.

401K in defunct business rollover to IRA
By: sarahb | 14-07-2008
Company where my 401K is went out of business and I'm having difficulty getting the plan administrator and the investment company to allow me to rollover my 401k to an IRA with another investor. I am being told by the plan administrator the investment company may require a percentage of my 401k as a surrender charge but don't say how much. Is there an IRS code that allows them to do that for company's that dissolve? I suppose the investment company wants to keep my money but I'm not comfortable with them having it. Please advise.
