$800 when I installed a web server for one company. I would have done it for nothing but they offered me a hundred per hour and I didn't complain about that.
€15,00 at my work in the grocery store + €5,00 affiliate sales + $2,00 from adsense so that's about $25,00 i think. Not much, but its a hobby, so it doesn't have to be much.
about 10,000 dollars when the stock market crashed. I had gone short on the index and the market went up the next day almost wiping my asset out. Out of frustration I went further short... and the market stumbled the next day and went on and on and on.. I cashed in the very day with a cool 10K profit.. Had I hung on for two more days I would have made 3 times but 10K was good enough... have lost too at times...
Nice Thread, I see alot of peoples posts are gambling related. I have only gambled small amounts in the past and never thought of so called risking alot to win big. My main source of income is my websites, I think the most I have earned in 1 day is around £2000 - £3000, But I have recieved over £20,000 in 1 day for selling one of my websites.
Nice work. 'One time wonder', or you still trade? I predicted the huge run in gold, but didn't risk any money.
. This was last year, in '05. I havent been following the penny game lately.. Full time job, etc... I might get back into it later.
Same with me - back in 1989 with the mini-crash. Trading OEX options - made $9000 in one day. Golly, that was a long time ago!
If you liquidate an asset for the same amount of cash that it is worth I dont think it counts. For example, selling a car.
Or selling your site,business or anything that you have put time in. If thats allowed i have made $1100000 in one day when i sold my gas station
You are not allowed to open a bokerage account until you are at 18. Then again, you do live in SA, where there does not seem to be any rule of law. I guess you probably trade through your parents account. Anyway, are you really 12?
