HFM HFM (formerly HotForex): Are full-time traders and individual investors considered unemployed?
Is the job of an investor unemployed as a profession? What kind of image does the public have of individual investors who make a living from stocks? There aren't that many full-time traders to begin with. Perhaps because of this, society has a very strict view of them. Full-time traders have no guarantees, so they are at their own risk, and the reality is that they are easily treated the same as if they were essentially unemployed.
