Asset. Vs. Wealth. Vs. Other

I am extremely good at forex trading the past 5 years, I'm very good at analyizing real estate and identifying opportunities in real estate, and i have stared analyzing stocks for long term growth. I just want some money invest. But im very poor with little education and little chance of higher education. What kind of company should i start? What can i do? Im very good at this but don't know where to go

So you are not good at all. You essentially have played a video game. You can play Madden all you want but trying out for the Raiders will not go as well as playing xbox.

You're good at analyzing real estate? how....

If you want to do anything legitimate in this field: 1. Must go to school. -Community college - - Receive grants for low income students & apply for scholarships 2. You're major doesn't really matter (business or transfer studies etc) - Work as a waiter or barback or tutor to pay for your expenses while in school - - YOUR MAIN OBJECTIVE IS GET A HIGH GPA 3. GET A 4.0 GPA 4. GET A 4.0 GPA and get scholarships 5. GET A 4.0 GPA and transfer to a 4 year school 6. GET A 4.0 GPA and join the investment club and get a couple internships 7. Graduate with a 4.0 GPA, interesting on campus activities (investment club, business club) a couple relevant internships 8. Find job

 

I haven't done so myself so take it with a grain of salt but go the traditional route: Graduation (if you have already done so and haven't landed in IB, get a Masters in Finance/ MBA)-> IB -> Exit opp. Once you have a significant bank account and a great reputation, decide what kind of a shop you want to open.
