As a day-trader/speculator, how do you peeps answer this question? Telling someone that you're a day-trader or speculator, conjures images of either a "self-employed" person stumbling to their desk at 9:30 in their pajamas, or a fabulously wealthy individual with properties scattered across North America and Europe. How do you answer this?
I just say I am an unemployed bum. Sometimes its better if people don't delve deeper into the questions.
