For the non-professional trader it must be difficult to develop their own strategy. I think it must be a good idea to get lots of education before investing real money. Doing paper trading is good practice too, don't you think?

@Dusty – Actively trading stocks and/or options is very time consuming. It is one of my favorite ways to make money, but is anything but “passive”!

When I was writing covered calls, I spent hours upon hours upon hours just to make one trade. The amount of research needed to be successful was enormous. I still love selling covered calls, but now I only do so every couple of months! As such, I would not consider it a true passive income source.
