The rent on my first apartment was $110/mo, back when I was going to WSU. Now, with that rent, I could become a full-time day-trader with $50,000. :) I lived in Detroit until about 10 years ago, and wrote a lot of embedded software for the auto industry. Never LIVED in the burbs, but worked there a lot. Used to visit my grandparents in Highland when I was a kid. ("out in the country", or it was then...) ------------- I suspect that a bearish day in a bull market is much different than any day in a bear market. We have volatility and liquidity. Bear markets tend to have neither. Changes the rules! May not be as bad, as long as you constantly adapt your trading style. I know that I do - back around July, I was doing nothing but in-the-money option swing trades. I moved to NASDAQ swing trades to day trades, and now to a mix of day and swing trades. I'm tending back to pure day-trading as the market starts smelling fishier.
