35. are you serious

i know traders (i am one myself, although it is not my primary occupation)

who make anywhere from 30k to over 1 million

all of them have their returns dominated by cap gains and/or losses.

not all traders are rich.

many go broke.

one of the coolest guy i ever met was a CBOT floor trader. contrary to popular belief, floor traders (a dying breed as market go electronic) is very much a physical, demanding type job. many floor traders are former athletes, etc. and many are far from rich.
