What is your profit from investing?

[mooddude]

I would like to hear your ideas about investing as a well-paid full time job. Is it possible? How reliable? What would be the work schedule, duties, responsibilities, requirements, etc.?

There's enough pressure for me to actively invest for my retirement, let alone as my full time job. I couldn't do it

I would love to do it, but not until I have enough cash to make it worth my while. For me personally, I have to have at least a million dollar cushion to feel comfortable with it. If my plan continues on it's course, I should reach that goal by the time I retire.

Maybe as full-time job, but I have been enjoying investing as a hobby and do not see that changing anytime soon.

Profit? What's a profit?

I agree with the other posters. I just invest in stocks as a hobby. It's just fun to ride one of $$MM's picks to a 15% gain and hit the sell button. All of my serious money is in 401(k)s, IRAs, and mutual funds. I didn't pick one of your answers in the poll, because my hobby profits are typically pretty small.

I think it would have been better to ask "what is your annual % Gain/Loss" since you started investing. We are all investing different $$$ amounts...Doug(IIC)
