> I'm curious why you became a "professional investor" instead of following your own advice.

Not OP but can answer... It's because if you don't start with a massive amount of capital you won't make enough money to support yourself. Hence why OP recommended to simply invest the time into your own job or start a business.

A 40% return on $100k (which is a great return BTW) is barely more than minimum wage...

Meanwhile a few % of a billion $ can sustain a firm.
