I like the part in bold. I've been bitten before by the mentality that I can be my own day trader, and I'm lucky I didn't get completely hosed in the process. I've been quietly reading this thread ever since I've joined. It really is a treasure trove of information (especially for a 30 y/o like myself), and I thank you for that.

There is definitely opportunity to be had today for those with the cash, haha.
