I believe the 90% mark is really those newfangled day trader variety who quit their jobs as schoolteachers and photographers to play the market I've worked for several firms and I can tell you, believe it or not, most are successful

90% of traders outside of professionals (arguably), everybody putting money in the market is a trader. daytraders and LTBHers, makes no difference, they/we are all traders. guess we're all doomed. ;-)

"Recent bullishness has been at record highs" Sure...thats why you seen the nasdaq perform so beautifully lately...perfect example of rampant bullishness <<gg>> <<Nothing personal but 90% of "traders" lose all of their money>> Er..nothing personal..but its traders who are the "only" ones "making" money. Besides... <<Outside of your opinion, do you have any data to back that up?>> Look lifesogood...if you haven't been a trader in the past year or so...you have either been caught holding the bag or you've sat on the sidelines and armchair quarterbacked like 90% of the posters here. <<Maybe you're seeing what you want to see but the data appear to contradict you on that point.>> Um..where?..what data?..The same data thats been reported to you from a majority of companies almost every day warning or lowering estimates?..Is that the data you mean?...Hmmm..thats some strange bullish data to me. best...
