Look up David Barton, day trader from Atlanta. When it all turned sour for him he shot and killed some people in Buckhead. Its easy on paper, but its a bitter pill to swallow when it all goes south.

If its not clear, thats a no vote from me.

Go to your local library and start reading on futures. It sounds like you dont have the basics down still.

No.

You should be investing in MFs for three five years before you touch individual stocks. three five years of stock trading before you think about alternatives. one two years in alternatives before you think about futures. that is seven twelve years of seeing market cycles and slowly accumulating experience and knowledge before you may want to explore it.
