I discuss this site in the real world quite a bit, and I am wondering what the ratio is of full time investors vs. part time.

By a quick answer of FT, or PT, could you please let me know your status?

Thanks!

P.S. Full time- primary source of income
Part time- secondary source of income

I am full time, have been for about 13 years. I seem to be spending more time mentoring these days, recently I have spent more time teaching the biz than doing it , and making less money in the process, LOL!
Not sure how long I will keep mentoring if it is gonna take away from my real business of investing. :mrgreen:
