" I was DESTROYED in the month of August." --> Funds vs. Trading One distinction to make is this: During the August downturn, fund investors (like myself) got burned badly. I'd bet daytraders took much smaller losses, or made money shorting. I surmize that shorting is something that FEW fund investors or funds themselves do. Funds don't naviagte down markets nearly as well as a shortterm trader can. Daytrade or not, I through with funds for good (except maybe index funds) See: Message 7328625
