I get the distinction. Its really all just a matter of movement and time. The only difference is how much time, and whether you have a real basis to forecast the direction.

You have any opinion on DCLK? It doesn't look so bad on paper, except their P/E is probably going to be enourmous for their first few qrtrs profitability...if they stay profitable.

day Traders are looking for scalps of 1/16 and 1/4 point......a hundred times aday I expect this kind of misinformation from CNBC, but most certainly not from you. The typical daytrader looks for 2-4% kind of moves (thats 1 or 2 points on a $50 stock), and has about 10-50 round trips a day. Unless its a penny stock anything with less than 1/2 point potential isn't worth touching. I agree scalping teenies is a fools game. Holding long term shorts is a lot saner though. Eric
