When you show up in a Ferrari with a couple of high class hookers on your arm, how do you deal with all the criticism that you are just a typical daytrader?
If that is a real concern, you just explain in detail the public misperceptions of daytrading how you're providing valuable liquidity, the risk may actually be less than what they did with their "invested" retirement funds, etc.,etc... (as one of the high class hookers nibbles on your earlobe) or you can tell them that you're just a BADASS..
I usually tell people I sell crack to school kids, thus avoiding the stigma associated with daytrading. Runningbear
I just tell 'em I trade securities and futures; that usually shuts 'em up as most laypeople don't know what the hell they are.
