>>>It would also put back into the labor force about 8 million daytraders. Sarmad, I doubt it. The mkt is too volatile to put daytraders out of business. Just look at the Naz. Up 100+ points on Monday, Down 80+ on Tuesday etc... I think the volatility is here to stay, which means daytraders are here to stay. Heck, daytraders are probably contributing to this volatility in a big way. 10 to 15% intraday swings are now commonplace in tech stocks. I think this is the wave of the future. Many mkt players will have to relearn their craft. I think that's why mkt gurus like George Soros, Julian Robertson etc.. bowed out a while ago. The mkt is just too strange. --Olu E.
