This market is too small,has poor information and full of underhand ongoings making it a dangerous game to live off stock trading. You also need to have a huge amount say 3m + to try that kind of thing with meaningful returns. As i said earlier it's dangerous becasue you could have that money stuck in there or lost if your bets don't work out. Typically those who do it in other african markets say egypt or SA purely use information about companies and technical movements to make small logical spreads. However you can take good bets once in a while and pick your gains and sit and wait for the next big thing. I remember in April this year ARM was trading at 55 for 2 days. Now if you bought then with the 3m and sold when it hit 100,you surely are sitting on about 2.5m gain which can see you through the year,but you have to be very disciplined to resist the temptation of pouring the money back in.

Man shall not live on bread alone!

A wrong place to quote that verse,but anyway! Young has said it all.

Its better to combine stocks trading with something else. I for one combines it with Doxa Interactive Studio,www.thedoxa.net,the home of creatively designed Websites,Logos,Flash Animations,etc. In short with internet business!

Stocks can hold your capital for upto 3 months Like it did sometimes back,from February to May ( during the great 'economic crunch' )!

Now,in those 3 months utakula mawe?

But you shall remember the LORD your God,for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth,that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers,as it is this day. Deu 8:18
