hi Dave, You realize that this Cameron woman is the same woman USA Today trotted out the last time they wrote a daytrading article... you remember she was wearing a stupid hat in her pic and was described as shouting "I NEED CANDY" in the office.... How many times will they re-hash this pathetic chick's story? ~Smart$

(i think) that woman was profiled in an earlier usa today story...approximately the end of june. in it, the 'daytrader' told how she had got companies like BOUT and a whole bunch of 2nd tiers on (ibelieve) margin, and wound up holding them from 40 -> 20. the article had ALL the earmarks of a compulsive who couldn't cut losses. the part about blaming all-tech; i'd be willing to wager dollars to donuts that there was 'too large a stake' held overnight. isn't that the way they do that? and don't all daytrading books say never carry home a loser? - bob

Dave, What do you expect from the only group that never made it to the 1990s? Alan

I just reread that article. The second person makes me madder than the first one. A 61 year old child, it seems, spending money he doesn't have, blaming his broker and even taking stupid trades to get back at the broker, then hoping the article will attract a "benefactor" to bail him out. Where do they find these fools.

WOW, "My wife and I would be fighting about the TV. She would want to watch something, but I would want to watch something financial, afraid that I might miss something,' Samueli says. This cat lost 400k but couldn't afford a second TV in the process?? A brand new 25" is under $400; less than .1% of loss ;-/ Also, Cameron says she thinks her personality isn't well suited to day trading. "I have been successful at everything I have ever done,' she says, ticking off her accomplishments: social director of her college sorority... This was not in jest!?!?!? RO
