Day Trading's Showcase Victim With Others Silent, Investor Stays in Media Spotlight By Ianthe Jeanne Dugan Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, December 9, 1999; Page A01 Dan Rather faces the victim, a long-haired blond man with an earring. "Is it addictive?" the CBS anchorman wants to know. The thin young victim, John Skiersch, looks into the camera. "Yes." "Are you a sucker?" "Yes." "Tough thing to admit publicly," Rather suggests. Yes, yes, it's hard conceding you're a sucker with a zillion people watching. It's harder still when the audience includes your mother and two brothers who told you not to day-trade the money your grandfather left you. And then they told you not to talk about it--to stay away from the mobs of reporters documenting this strange corner of Wall Street. washingtonpost.com
