RE: "it just seems there are easier ways to scalp a dollar or two. Look at the short interest on Nasdaq: it is HUGE. I think the easy money on the short side has been made." Trilobyte, I'm mostly a dark-side biased AMAT swing trader. You happened to catch me experimenting here with some quick scalps. Trading is certainly very time consuming, but I wouldn't define it as difficult. I find it intense at times, but that's part of the enjoyment I get out of it. So, has the easy money been made? Well, probably, but since I've never had much luck making "easy money," I'll continue to scratch for "a dollar or two." AdvocateDevil
