Another point to make is that it is easier to trade with small capital. With a smaller account, (100K or less) you can move in and out without worrying about moving the market. This opens many more trading oppportunities in a greater range of stocks. And, I think embarking on a daytrading career as a long only is a formula for disaster. The market over the last few years has been a historical aberation, and will almost certainly end in a vicious bear market, (ie US 1929, US 1972, Japan 1990). Learning to make money on the short side now will keep you from losing it all in the future. Just my 2 cents worth. Archer
