Again, If you read the post, no sum of money is too small to invest as long as you meet the broker minimum requirements. Last time i checked i could put $500 on shares as long as i had enough to cover the brokerage.
i get that a lot of these conversations are about being right.......
people new to the profession of trading bring a lot of excess personal baggage and go about creating a new version of that baggage just for trading
take that psyche to the person on the other side of your trade and they'll gladly let you be right while they take your money
put your thinking into common garden-variety things; as a spectator you can see the tour de france on a bike and not see much of the race itself or france , or, you can hire a campervan and get there in style.....the rout doesnt change, the competitors dont change the scenery doesnt change and even tho you might think the cost would be less with a bike vesrsus a campervan, well, think about it.....being underfunded is like being stuck at the back end of the race and once the competitors swing out of view youre forever sweating for nothing...on a hill, with a flat and no car!
cost versus task.....
think of your capital like your basic fitness, larger capital allows you to take more hits based on the same stake size, you can rebound, take the next opportunity, whereas, with a smaller stake your options are limited to.....well, being right......
btw, some of us here speak straight to the point because, obviously, diplomatic dancing around the subject is ineffective.......the person on the other side of my trade is a non-diplomatic type of character
