the idiots at the traditional institutions still think online trading is a "passing fad", and online trading customers are unsophisticated idiots. i was smiling when i read yesterday articles that said "daytraders must have gotten creamed with the Nasdaq dive"!! sure, and ETrade customers must have lost it all too!! those poor idiots. daytraders creamed? these people don't know what they are talking about. then i saw on CNNfn that they actually went to a daytrading shop, and guess what most there were saying! april 4 was among the most profitable days EVER for daytraders!!!! just an example, look at the intraday range of a Vignette (VIGN), 80% return in 2 days!!!!!
