Pair of Dimes #3

everybody and their brother tries their hand at daytrading

30% lose all/most and quit
30% lose and keep on trying, throwing good money after bad
30% ebb and flow; make less than they would in a in a decent mutual fund; much less
5% do ok; maybe squeek out a living; less than a day job and an Index Fund for their funds, combined
5% do well, beat the market; make more than they would in a day job; have some fun and freedom; get a lot of grey hairs (those that they have not torn out)
1% take the fortune they made daytrading; put it an index fund and tax free muni's; kick back and enjoy life

and 80% lie about how they do
99% bitch about their broker and the market makers

Go Falcons

Regarding (Paradigm #2) -Its amazing that 607 years before Christ it was indicated something like that would take place "O Daniel shut up the words, and seal the book,even to the time of the end: MANY SHALL RUN TO AND FRO, AND KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED." (Daniel 12:4)
