Are stories of turning a few thousands into millions by trading stocks real?
I made upwards of 3M from 200K by trading stocks, which I made from a business that I invested 20K in.  HOWEVER, DO NOT use trading stocks as a source of income, you're gambling with your precious cash. There are safer alternatives.
