The stock market is gambling, gambling that your money is going to go where you want it to when you want it to, and that you’ve made the right decision at the right time, to make money off the trades you’re executing. There is no ‘zero risk’ investment.

People trying to convince you that there is no risk of loosing money are assuming that you’re going to be smart about how you execute the trades, people who are too slow, or execute trades at the wrong times DO loose a lot of money, that is the ‘risk’ that you’re making the right choice, at the right time, and that you can have orders executed fast enough.

Don’t be conned into beleieving it’s a no risk investment, or that it’s ‘easy.’ the only thing that is ‘easy’ about it is that if you’re confidant in what you’re doing, and you’re pulling it off right, and you’re willing to loose most of the money you’re risking, if you make a mistake.. well, then yeah, it’s ‘easy.’ Just don’t become emotional about the whole trading thing, or else you’ll be just like a problem gambler, and make the simple mistakes that can cost you everything.

Listen to there advice, and make sure you’re really doing everything right, and once you start doing well, set aside profits, and keep risking the same initial investment while your ‘profits’ accumulate in something safe.

As for the currency trading, I think you’ll do fine, it’s quite different from any other exchange. You don’t seem that you’ll actually lose much from trying, so I suppose you might as well. Here’s hoping for big money.

Good luck in Vegas.
