In terms of money earned(including bonuses), of course someone( at Goldman for example)would probably win bcuz of the sheer amount of money/buying power they have. But in terms of percentage return, I can bet 25k -50k of my personal money that I can beat any investor over 5 yr term. We can set it up the contract thru attys. Anybody game? P.S. crgarcia ......where are you?
98% of daytraders lose. The other 2% is only barely breaking even. I never heard (real stories) of a daytrader making a killing. Investors may also profit in sideways markets (dividends, covered calls, etc.) Investors WHO HEDGE, win hands down.
GS are neither traders nor investors: They are insider-traders, front-runners, and market manipulators.
If you blowup daytrading (and it's likely you'll do), anyhow you'll have no money to pay me the bet. Quite a catch, isn't it?
