A question I've wanted to ask for a while: When people ask you what you do, do you hesitate to say "I'm a trader"? When people ask me if "I'm really into trading..." because they heard about me from some close friends, I tend to blow it off and understate it, like "...I like to watch the market now and then." I embarassed to admit what I do. I think it's because of the really negative press surrounding daytraders or that I don't want them to know that I trade so intensively. Any one else have that problem? Sometimes when we're out with friends, my wife might mention that we get up very early, etc...she gets ready for work...Paul's up early for the opening bell...etc... Invariably someone will snicker, like, "yeah, sure, who's he kidding?" kind of thing. Makes me feel awkward a bit and I just let it drop. I'm kind of private about money matters and I only discuss stocks with about 2 people in person ever. I think if some of my friends knew I was doing this as a business venture they'd want to commit me. Any thoughts on these feelings and has it happened to you? Thanks, Paul
