There's no need to even tell them to go ahead with it; it's just good to give them some guidance by telling them the simple truth about trading. It is good to let them know that if they don't learn and familiarize themselves with the trading tools, strategies, and rules, they may not even make any profit, even before considering it a get-rich-quick scheme. There is a guy I am aware of who makes about $100 on a daily basis from his trading; at times, he even makes more profit than $100. So I can say that trading can really give someone a more frequent income, but that doesn't mean they don't sometimes lose money. learning how to become a successful trader doesn't just happen so suddenly.
