[SIZE=3]Stop investing in stocks to apply for medical or continue as a stock trader at home?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]-I have BS degree and experience in Quality, Safety, Environment and Health management system for over 5 years. One day, I learned bout stock market just to get more knowledge and then I liked very much. I invested all my saving money in stock and thought that it was a place to keep my money (I still had a job with salary monthly) That was in my home country. I had never “seen” any stock in case of bankruptcy. I was successful in stock investment for 3 years.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]-Another day, I moved to USA and had children. I have had no job since coming to USA because of caring for my newborn children. With the same thought, US stocks market was the place to keep my money (saved from my home country) because I was busy with my children under 4 years old and repairing my house by myself). Just some months after I began to join us stocks, I lost $25,000 in 1 month for 2 bankruptcy (AMR and MF). I began to be more careful and learned a lot from US stocks market. I took out $25,000 for saving (in that, $10,000 from my friend. . .) in order to get $0 trade. Now I feel very confident in stock trading but I just have $7,000 for investing with $0 trade fee. That is all my property. My family has low income. My husband doesn’t want me to continue to play stock and ask me to apply for medical because I have not had health insurance for myself. I think a lot what I should do now.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]+I love to play stocks as stock trader at home in order to have time for my children[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]+I can’t afford to pay for health insurance I need apply for medical. My family is quality for medical, but I tried to do on my best to “avoid” medical, but I was unlucky![/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]+Maybe, the best way is applying for medical but my brain will be gone down . . . .. . US stocks market is very interesting![/SIZE]

It sounds like your fascination with the stock market is more similar to gambling instead of investing. With that being said, put your family first and stop putting money in the market. If you are interested, invest a small amount $2,500 or less and "play" with that. I turned $2,000 into mid-high $100,000's in 8 years. If you you keep running out of money in your account, you need to eventually realize, stock investing isn't for you.

No offense, but it sounds like you are losing a lot of money and dont really know what you are doing.

If you borrowed $10,000 from a friend to invest in the stock market, I suggest repaying your friend immediately...

I'm thinking you need to get a J.O.B. and tell your husband to get a better one if you're low income.

Quit playing the stock market. Get a decent income going and then invest in something that is managed by a professional, like mutual funds (in the form of a Roth IRA or something else).

Only invest what you can afford to lose.

...because you just might.
