Day Traders

Interesting article in NY Magazine about day traders. Some nuggets of insite; some nonsense.

I love the photo of trader's monitor with post-it notes : "Be Patient" and "Don't be Greedy"; next to ash tray full of crumpled lottery tickets.

I thought the smile would appear next to "tickets"; not in headline.

"Day Trader" is one of those self-anointed designations like "Professional Gambler."

Have a big enough Trust Fund, 401K plan, or inheritance, and you too can be either (or both maybe) overnight.

Oh great Jones finally not banned in a forum and he is going
to now post his comedy posts in every single thread??

Forum is off to a great start now.....(very sad...pathetic actually).

Gary, I like JJ. For some reason, I like you too. As long as Rudy and John Netto are OK with it, JJ is welcome in this room. No more of these kinds of posts please.

Ok so Jones can make a smart ass reply but nobody else can...
I didn't see that in the rules....my bad...sorry.

[John Netto]

As a moderator for the room I will allow his comments for the time being, but he clearly is striking a nerve with the pejorative nature and lack of any meaningful insight being provided.
