Hey guys. I've been looking into investing in trading with some extra money I have rather than simply letting it rot in the bank (and yes, I can afford to lose it). I'm not looking to make thousands or get rich overnight. I have about $600 to invest initially and would like to make about $25-50/week in the beginning. My question is what type of market seems to best suit these numbers? I know I need $25,000 to day-trade stocks, but I was looking more along the lines of futures, or possibly mini-forex. Of the online brokers I've researched, Scottrade requires only $500 to begin. Any (PROGRESSIVE) input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 
Umm, Jim... unless I'm missing something, I really don't appreciate the sarcasm, buddy. I asked for PROGRESSIVE advice, not backlashing. I'm not another trader "clown," as you say. I know what I'm doing.
