there are high yield stuff that pays 7-8% div per year. those are nice holdings you might wanna think about building. you can do the math.

I'm 24 with limited student debt.

Maybe find a good balance point regarding acct size vs. withdrawals to put into a HY portfolio would be the next logical step.

For example, maybe once X% monthly return is equal to $Y, then withdraw Z% from profits for deposit into high yielding portfolio?
even with starting 100$ account.. 1% a week. and it does not take the lifetime of a rat to become wealthy. you will be compounding it plus leverage. cherry pick. don't trade just to trade. book winnings.. at or near e-close is a good place to do it more times then not.

fx, you manage. use those for growth. use the income portfolio to pay you div.

idea is to make money with fx, put the profit into income funds. by the time you accumulate significant amount, you're set for life. no more hassle with trading.

if we dont dive after open.. looking to enter probably 3121/22 (just need a reason).. on a spike toward 3175... the same old r at 3072 3111 3150
3155 is a r also.. in the sequence with 3111 3072 3035 and the others on the 2962/3587 chart. 3121/22 is just the half way point from 3068/3175

I prepay things with my Fx stuff...like pay debt / pay my electric bill for the entire year up font....I dont make tons of $, only because I made a shit ton of money the first 3 months when I started (like 50K in 2 months)....thought I was a pro....turns out I was stupid lucky.....then I lost it all exept like 10% 2+ yeras later..here i am...steady goes the tortoise .. remember I made 50K in 2 months....lost that plus the seed $....u dont want to know.... Its all good though....I feel as if I can always trade a profit every 4 weeks....FWIW

What kind of passive income source would make the most sense after eliminating student and other debt, and properly funding my trading account?

A portfolio of high yielding assets?
--It would take a long time to build enough to have reasonable income

Rental property?
Small business?
--With these I feel there are substantially more risks and headaches, however you could conceivably be free-er working for yourself (which is the goal anyway)

Just compound trading account while managing BS job and misc other BS?
--Seems the most feasible

Anyone...
fak real estate especially with wall streets ability to just destroy your asset at will and hang you out to dry...

deff be your own asset. trading is the only true recession proof business in my eyes...

passive income biz? fak pool your cash together and loan your money out holding bank accounts and paychecks as collateral... (payday loans) fuckin gold mine bro..

plus once u get a decent sized trading account it might as well be a passive income... 2-3 trades a week and your good

Debt elimination and the construction of passive income as a safety net for an independent trading career.
If you got the funds I would say
1. eliminate debt
2. invest large part of the rest in a commodity fund like Jim Rogers Agricultural Fund or/and Jim Rogers Int. Comm. Index Fund and don't trade with it at least for 10 years

If you don't got the funds I would say, ask yourself at what you are really good and exploit that to the limit and invest/trade after you have been successful
Don't be a hero. Don't have an ego. Always question yourself
