Explain how someone could possibly monitor everything 24 hours a day..it would turn peolple into zombies and junkies and your money would alweays be at risk and only the most advanced technologically would thrive while the average joe gets killed..While we sleep..criminals would run ramapnt..shifts of traders and market makers would conspire press releases would be never ending 24 hours and no break would ever be givenn. I think a more realistic scenario is a slight extension but thats all we weould ever tolerate

Hehe. I'm on record as saying this whole daytrader thing is nothing more than a cheap cover for online gambling. Not that I'm against it mind you, but the hypocrisy is blatant. So now we take it to the next step, and make this an around the clock affair. Ok. Can we now have press releases at 3 AM? And with no volume who will take the other ('wrong') side of a trade? THis is going to be fun. So the pump and dump crowd will invent new schemes to part the ignorant from their money. Scare the bejesus out of them in the middle of the night and get them to dump their XYZQ at firesale prices. I'm sure plans are being hatched as we speak. Maybe we can get the Australians and the Japanese in on the game, and get them to part with some of their currency. All trades in dollars please. Don't forget to cut the deck.
