Needless to say, all this makes short term moves even the more unpredictable. Which means, as a stock trader, there is no alternative but to sit and stare at the computer screen with your fingers on the buy and sell buttons. With regards to options, it's clearly better to sell them rather than buy them, which is what gives WS such an advantage over us little guys who are required to comply with silly things such as margin requirements. I guess this all makes sense, as I find it quite easy to book gains during periods of high volatility, and it's incredibly hard to trade during the low volatility eras, like now.
