Investment for a living

[Choon]

Full time investing required minimum capital. At least 1-2 million.
If not, the opportunity cost of losing salary is higher than the returns
you can actually get.

If those with good paying jobs, better to follow a play safe investment strategy
to supplement your income. Until can cross the minimum capital threshold. Unlikely
will get rich.

Just pondering .... perhaps full time investing is better suited for one residing in a place with a lower cost of living ?

".....While the starting salary is low, Zac also pointed out that the cost of living in Taiwan is low as well....."

I think another important consideration (and perhaps this is the most important consideration) other than capital size and location is whether will one have sufficient quality companies to discover and study so that one finds his time meaningfully well-spent from 8am to 5pm.

Am reading the compilation of Peter Lynch's writings shared in this forum recently. Quite inspired by his cheerful, interesting and insightful stories. But I also wonder are there as many interesting opportunities now as in his time - where internet is not as prevalent and quality companies are still small and under the radar. 

Hope to have VBs arguing vehemently against me on my assertion above as it is also my wish/dream to be a fulltime investor.
