I Have questions concerning the skills required to Trade stock

I want to become a full time stock broker. I am currently an economics major and I trade stock part time last semester I turned 3500 into 6100 mostly without margin trading. Now I have margin and around the same amount of money I want to make enough to get me a lexus before I graduate. If I get real good I wont even have to work at a firm and Im not to geared up to wear a suit and tie everyday unless i wake up to britney spears like in her womanizer video. LOL

 

To trade stocks, the only skill you need is to be able to press a few buttons on your computer. To learn how to trade them well would probably take more info than you can gather on a random Internet post.

when I percieve a stock to be underperforming or performing on schedule for a decent percentage increase I get in there

This is what my boss tells all the LPs, verbatim

I hate victims who respect their executioners

OMG no sarcasm that is the most positive thing I have heard all day thank you P.S. what are L.P.s
 

my biggest fear is that eventually a larger portion of independent traders will flood the market and make it harder to get good returns on speculation because that is mainly what Im into I dont have long money so I dont go long I rarely have a stock for more than five trading days usually 3-4 , but if there are more small traders not going long I fear that increased amount of speculation can have a negative impact on trading. Any thoughts

 

I also find traditional corporate life to be a last resort for income because I like to have more than enough free time to go through some rings on the most current sonic the "hedgehog" games.
