Daytrading.

So, Websters might have a new word! I am amazed at how many people have suffered and altered their lives through daytrading.

Waking up at 5:00 A.M. to see how the S&P futures are doing used to set the pulse for my day. Street Signs, the Closing Bell, etc. would dictate my mood for the next day. Watching the ticker for 8-hours a day started ruining my eyesight. I've told customers to "beat it," and they would comment (in Spanish), that the "American guy" is having a bad day. When you make money, life is grand. When you lose- and lose big- it's time to draw the shades.

God bless you, Sunnie. The few thousand that I lost (albeit in minutes) is nothing compared to the other posts here.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all,

Theo
