At the end of the day, it's irrelevant. We are each our own island and make our own way. You can listen to someone and determine if they have something worthwhile to say but the only thing that matters is what YOU do.
This Japanese day trader made $150 million USD for last ten years from his bedroom according to Bloomberg news. It is doable if you are a day trader. Day trading is entirely another beast. The REAL good ones understand the market like no others can. Day trader compounds his returns in days. Swing trader compounds in weeks. Investors compound in years.

%% Having been thru an audit; try not to tick the IRS off,SHx. Another big problem with daytrading, it was only noted in a few sentences in a IBD 450/+page book .He like$ red , white + blue /daily barcharts; prefer candlecharts.
