-- Buy 1,000 shares of a $5 stock requires $5,000 CASH

-- Best leverage possible on stock is 2-1 (if bought on margin)

-- The stock market's long-term average annual growth = 8% - 10%

-- A year later, the 1,000 shares.... 10% appreciation growth....equal to = $500.00 (but NOT cash), 10% ROI.

-- Does that beat bank savings accounts? Bank CD's? DEFINITELY! A $5,000 account won't interest stock brokers & mutual fund managers much. They'll probably be polite though, and invite you to bring more $$$ and be prepared to stay "....for the long haul."

-- Minimum to open an E-mini account is $2,000. Open a Forex Currency account for only $250.

-- E-mini leverage.... 90-100 to one
Forex.... 300-400 to one
Margin required: e-mini $500 per contract.

-- Each 'point' of the S&P 500 captured is worth $50 per contact in the trade;

-- Capture 5 'points' trading 2 contracts = 10 points 10 points X $50 = $500 (a DAY!)
500 / $2,000 = 25% ROI (daily)

-- I encourage my students to have $10,000 in their trading account, but never risk more than 5% on any one trade. Just for fun...let's multiply the average trader's daily goal of $500 X 20 trading days per month, = $10,000 a month; now multiply by 12 months and it means a very nice 6-figure income and an unbelievable annualized ROI of 1,200%!

-- Would that be enough to get you interested in learning how to trade E-mini's? The numbers are there! They're for real! Currency trading can be equally as spectacular!
