Looks like Jason’s got the day-trader part down: Frantic no matter whether the price goes up or down. Gamblers who had Ohio State beating the spread against Oral Roberts are about as patient (and forgiving).
Seem to remember a news story about a trader that figured out how to be physically closer to the internet switch for the exchange so they could see and react faster than others farther away.
Anyone with day-trading experience can tell you that a lot of those red numbers in parentheses are “transaction fees”. Also, get ready for a very unpleasant surprise during tax season…

Jason’s brain to Jason’s mouth to Dad’s ear to Dad’s brain to Dad’s fingers. Sounds slow and Jason won’t blame himself if they lose money.

Day trading is a good way to shrink your retirement fund.
