What is trading for a living?

Eileen and Jasmine have asked me to explain more about trading. When I talk about trading, I am referring to trading stocks. Unlike most other jobs, trading stocks is one profession which anyone can engage in, and with the right mentality and money management, make some money out of the stock market. You may be thinking to yourself, if it were so easy, everyone would be making a living out of the stock market and not working. Bingo! You are perfectly right. This is precisely why trading cannot be so easy! If it were, everybody would be winners and there would be no losers. But as we all know, this is not possible. There will always be winners and losers in the stock market. There are many amateurs out there who think of making a fortune in the stock market without working. You've probably come across books in the bookstore with titles like "Secrets of millionaire investors" or "How I made $2 million out of the stock market". And if you are thinking about that now, erase that thought from your mind immediately! Our purpose of trading is for mums to work from home and earn some small income to support themselves. Let's put it this way. Stocks move up and down time to time. It is more often and more likely to make small gains than huge gains. So, are you ready to earn some money trading stocks now?
