I don't have an opinion on that one way or the other. I just don't believe that you make $15g a week, consistently, in 2003 trading stocks on 3 hrs sleep (especially for scalping you need to be very alert) from home with one monitor and a cable modem in a $100 g or whatever it is retail account with 1.5 yrs or so experience. BTW, teamates who played with Wells the day of the perfect game said that he was not drunk at all (and that he apparently has a history of imbelishing or worse-perhaps you two have a lot in common).
Although scalping might not be a profitable endeavor for most, there are traders making good money scalping the nasdaq. I am in my sixth month of trading and average $2500 a week. It might not be millions, but more than enough to sustain me as a 22 year old. jc
Have I read it? I thought it hadn't been released yet? In any case, as I said, his TEAMMATES say the guy is a regular liar and/or imbelisher, and that he lied about being drunk during the perfect game.
I scalp too. I'm not averaging $2,500 a week this year (that's for sure), and yes $10g a month is very good (especially this year). However, I still believe that, especially now, there is more money and potential in swing trading than scalping (and that's all I was saying).
