Futures/Options I have many friends that are trading SP futures and are active in options trading and they both provide a lot more leverage. No interest!.. So if that was your goal, and you know how to trade stocks, this would be the way to do it.

Hi Bob, I have followed your exchange with Don with interest, and neither of you have mentioned what I believe is the key to being a sucessful trader. That key is in being emotionally detached from the trade you are doing. If I had been Don, I would have pointed out that this is much easier to accomplish with your own money than with the responsibility for the money of others. How many times have you heard the expression "if someone gave you the perfect trading system, you wouldn't be able to execute it"? They are talking about the emotional detachment required. It ain't easy. Best Trading, X
