Dave--20% return a month??

Not realistic in my opinion trading stocks or options -- you may be able to do it occasionally. But to achieve this return on average on a consistent basis is IMO, well nigh impossible. In fact, if anyone can demonstrate to me that they have been able to achieve anything close to this rate of return over a 5 year time span, I'd consider giving them some funds to manage.

Keep in mind that $100K achieving a return of 100% a year, would result in one having $2.6 million in 5 years.

Now losing 20% a month--that is more doable:)

Trading futures---an average return of 20% per month is possible for a real good trader--but I have not achieved it.
