Re: what is the minimum capital for you to make $30,000 per year in stockmarket
If you can do this with $300k, year in and year out then you can manage money professionally...
Think about that for a bit

Far easier to do it with 300 k than millions.

Based on my 5 year average, 185K - but more realistically 225K would do it low risk.

Would you like to expand on that?

No one has mentioned that skill, know-how or a proven system is required. Then the amount of capital will be known.

Likely referring to investment opportunities which are not available to large sums of money.
Buffet famously quoted that he would guarantee a 50% return on $100k* (*I think it was 100k?)

Essentially an unanswerable question and a bit of "how long is a piece of string" as it depends on how and what you trade.
Some here could do that easily with $10,000 or less.

...and you're not going to know what you did make until later on (after the fact) anyway.
My opinion: whichever 'method' you're looking at using to extract that 30k from the market...you should have an idea of what your expected return is going to be based on quantitative measures, not mere guesses. i.e. That simply means that your method(s) expected returns have been measured (whether by you or not).
You then move forward with it, at the same time accepting that your reality will only be one possible result in a range of possibilities. (i.e. All I mean by that is that you accept that the expected result is not set in concrete).
All that said; you should therefore be telling us how much you need to make 30k, based on your expected returns.

Thank you for your comment, VS. I'm hoping to have an answer from banco who made the original statement, however, and/or CanOz, who endorsed it.
I don't, e.g. see why you couldn't invest $1M (or multiple millions) at the going deposit rate at any bank and achieve the $30,000. The fact that there would be much left over is irrelevant.

you can lose your pants for trading future.

please give me some detailed information.

Sigh. Why is that the phrase that captured your imagination?
Learn to trade. There is no shortcut. Educate yourself. There are numerous threads here both in the Trading Systems/Strategies forums and the Derivatives forums.

banco and CanOz: might I reasonably still hope for a response here ? Seems a shame that you're reluctant to let us know why it's easier to make the $30,000K from $300K rather than millions.
I think the OP was asking the question in good faith.

Once you are so big you can no longer cover your moves so easily and in many cases you can move the market with your trades.

Assuming a very conservative portfolio and assuming the $30,000 income is gross (inclusive of imputation credits), here is an example portfolio i threw together with one minute of thought:
I've used the price at market close last Friday. I've taken the lower value of the Reuters Thompson broker consensus forecast dividend yields for FY14 and FY15. I've grossed them up to include the imputation credits.
If the $30,000 of income is net of tax then you would need $600,000 for the above portfolio.
I would expect this portfolio, over time, to appreciate in capital value with the cost of living at a minimum.
Code:
investment stock gross yield dividend
60,000.00 cba 7.12% 4,272.00
60,000.00 anz 7.40% 4,440.00
60,000.00 wbc 7.50% 4,500.00
60,000.00 wpl 8.17% 4,902.00
60,000.00 tls 8.20% 4,920.00
60,000.00 wes 6.62% 3,972.00
60,000.00 wow 5.59% 3,354.00
-----------------------------------------
420,000.00 30,360.00
Total return (gross): 7.23%I've used the price at market close last Friday. I've taken the lower value of the Reuters Thompson broker consensus forecast dividend yields for FY14 and FY15. I've grossed them up to include the imputation credits.
