As Tech says, you don't need to get bored out of your mind hunching over a computer all day to make money.
I always have a bit of a laugh to myself when I see this posted about full-time trading. This statement could be applied to the majority of office jobs imo, and quite a few manual labour jobs as well (ie being bored out of your brain), let's be honest here there would be only a small % of the population that would be truly happy with their jobs and not change it if given the opportunity(ie not having to work or compete for said position).
Most employers would cringe at the thought of employees bored with their jobs.
Sure it happens but you always have a choice regardless of the level of position.
Clearly you have never, or know people who have, worked in big corporate/government structures then.
You think?
I dont have one employee here who doesnt love getting up in the morning to face anoter challenging day.
They wont last 2 minutes with the other guys if they are complainers or slackers.
New people dont have to impress me they have to impress the crews.
I love the challenge of business---our business and I make sure that the acceptance of that challenge is infectious. I breed Passion here.
If your bored in a job --change jobs and do yourself and your employer a big favor.

Again only small % of the population work for good employers
Again only small % of the population work for good employers, you have seriously rose coloured glasses on if you think otherwise. Also for the majority of people changing jobs isn't that easy due to a number of reasons ranging from lazyness to incompetence.
If you're "having a bit of a laugh to yourself" about what I said, I'd suggest you have misinterpreted the comment.I always have a bit of a laugh to myself when I see this posted about full-time trading.

They have no added value to the employer--why should they add value to someone who clearly doesnt seek it!!
The egg doesnt have to stay with the chicken it has a choice!!

My timeframe is Day to a few weeks.

I need to leave the office be in meetings take calls and talk to you guys!!
If you spend 30 minutes a day trading and 6 hrs a day posting, how much time do you have for your civil business?
My "bored" staff take care of the important issues.
I take care of the very important issues.(There are less of those.)
I really don't understand it when people say they would be bored without a regular day job. Do you find weekends boring being away from work? Wouldn't you value more free time to pursue other interests, hobbies, etc? You say it "doesn't take up a lot of time" as if that's a bad thing. Surely that's a positive thing, as you'd have more free time to do all those other things that you don't currently have time for. I don't know about you, but my weekends are never long enough to get even half the things done that I'd like to.
To be able to get out of the rat-race and be financially independent, my own boss, have to answer to no-one, to do something I enjoy (trading), get well rewarded for my efforts and get a great scene of accomplishment from doing it, to not have to be up early every morning for the mindless daily commute, to have more time to spend with family - that would be a dream come true for me. Isn't that everyone's dream? I could imagine nothing better!
Agree that a sense of isolation can be very real, especially if you're used to bouncing ideas off others before you make a decision.I can tell you that being a full time investor/trader as an occupation in itself is not boring but filling in the time when you're not trading can be. Trading can be a very lonely occupation, that's why some try to achieve balance by having other work. I keep myself occupied doing many things and don't miss being a wage slave but do miss the company of colleagues.
And back on topic:
I would need at least 500k is i was going to live o/s, or 1m to be living in Australia and make a 'living' off my investments
