"As well, we probably don't hear much from those traders who did take stocks home time and time again because they probably crapped out and no longer frequent these boards."

I am still here, looking for someone to define:

How they pick a stock to buy for a day? and why?

how do they decide when to sell? and why?

I haven't seen this, the only thing stressed is don't hold overnight or the world will fall on you. If there are people daytrading stocks, I assume they make up .000001 of the public and as Irby says most will fail.

What is that wet behind your ears showing? What do you consider a big gap down? 1-2%? How often does that happen, do you have any data on that? Why would you as a broker suggest to clients that they buy and sell each day? Would a broker make money off each sale? 255 trades a year X $50 a turn is $12,750, if your company charged a $25 commission, does it?

But you have been doing this since you were 12 years old and you consider it good advice.
