cause its more secure , its true not many make it as a day trader, but it isn't impossible. At least finish college and get a degree as a back up plan, join a prop firm that accepts a small deposit of $5k to trade. If you make it great, if you don't, you'll at least be only down $5k. Find a real job and move on.
Bulls make money. Bears make money. Trading makes money. Buy and hold makes money. Indicator guys make money. Naked chart guys make money. 10-monitor guys make money. I-phone guys make money. We just make (or lose) money in different ways. I don't understand why these constant, perpetual intolerance of other forms or philosophies of making money. But then again... this is like the real world. Different religions caused wars.
Not necessarily. There's enough of people like 'you' for people like 'me' to take money off of. I've made $10k the past 2 months. Not too bad considering I'm a full time student. I know plenty of guys who make a -living- day-trading. JUST BECAUSE YOU FAIL, DOESN'T MEAN OTHERS WONT PEACE.
