If you do some research, you will find out that drop shipping as a business module started in the US many year ago as a way for wholesalers to earn some extra dollars. Due to the fierce competition, the US wholesalers offer to drop ship products for their clients at a small extra cost, whilst their clients got the opportunities to resell to their own clients without the worry of shipments, which was a win-win for both parties.

In Australia, however, there is virtually no competition and therefore there is no need for the wholesalers to come up with new ideas. It is only very recently some smart Australians came to realize the potential of charging a high fee on such services and started drop shipping business.

It is rare a day trader will remain in a trade over the course of a night into the following day.

The main query that the general public ask when it comes to day trading is straightforward : ‘is it necessary to sit at a PC PC watching the markets all day long to be a successful day trader?’
