if you just read a book and think you can trade, it's a lot harder than that. I work on the west coast and work from 4AM to 6PM. There is so much to know: economics, what is important, how much weight to give it, factors, stocks affected; international markets, politics, economy (FYI, for trading US equities you need to look at the Nikkei, Hang Seng, FTSE, CAC and DAX, not to mention commodities); fundamental and technical analysis; how to hedge your positons (i.e.risk management); and most importantly, when to tier in more shares and when to take profits. You don't learn that in college...
i would work at a fund first for 2-5 years first, build a track record, then open your own. Plus, no one that qualifies will actually give money to you w/o any experience or track record. |

you sound like an asset allocator, if he has a different strategy it, may be different.
