Gentlemen; I have learned alot from this thread so far. I have a question for anyone: A friend is talking about getting into Day Trading. I have heard this is very difficult. He thinks he can search for a dip, buy in and sell later that day. With commisions as they are on the web, the many trades will not negate his positions as they once would have. I have read many times that it is better to hold onto a stock long term, altho of course, the timing will vary. Would anyone please comment? Are there any day traders out there? Thanks in advance for any help.
