CNBC already jumping on the blame everybody bandwagon. Except of course itself. Commentary on better screening of daytraders and regulation of daytrading firms. Hey how about better screening of people who watch CNBC? Maybe Barton got the idea from a buy/sell/hold segment. Hypocrites.

Surely there are additional psychological strategies to help one cope with daily losses. One I personally favor is to require all day trading to be done from blind trusts, so that one can never find out how much he has won or lost that day. One could also put one-day seven-digit losses into better perspective. It's nothing more than a tax loss that can stretch out over three centuries.
