When I was 57, I became so disabled that I could hardly get out of bed. I started trading bonds, swing trading and finally daytrading stocks with only a $2000.00 account and I was averaging $200 dollars a day doing this. This is no longer possible in the US. The pdt rule is a dirty rotten scam and if you joke about it you should have your balls cut off with a hacksaw. Perhaps you've noticed that Interactive Brokers doesn't even make a profit and Penson Financial Resources is losing money. So go and dump a large wad of cash on these guys and remember me when sipc says you are fucked because of this and that, that you didn't do. In the meantime, I'll be rof&lmao at you.
