404, if you are a hedge fund manager there are restrictions about what you can say to the public regarding performance. That's why you wouldn't hear from that portion of traders.

I manage a hedge fund. But I make most of my personal income from trading futures. The fund is conservative and consistent.

I believe that to earn a living and become wealthy by trading, you have to start slowly and scale up as your trading proves itself.

The only fast road is the path that runs you out of the business quickly. That's what the other 95% have learned. When you hear about guys like the ones you mention, look where they are in 10 years. Chances are they are selling real estate somewhere.
