Definitely. The notion of a "daytrader" has now been associated firmly in the public mind as a bunch of corrupt, gambling, really video-gaming, irresponsible 20-somethings. Not too flattering, huh? Thanks once again to our free press -- free from really looking into something very seriously before they aggressively spew the NASD line, and set the national opinion about it! When I first switched seriously from investing into trading, 6-7 years ago, this was not a problem. Most of the traders I met were commodity traders - I was something of an oddity as a stock trader. Even here in progressive Silicon Valley the notion of "trading" (vs. investing) is widely looked down on, judged pretty negatively for the most part. I usually keep it a secret (and I write on TigerInvestor under a pseudonem for now...) Of course, the enjoyment of doing something challenging that you enjoy, and the bucks make up for that... -Steve
