There are LOTS of people and lots of banks and insurance companies etc that have TRADING DESKS.... And there is lots of money to be made if you are a successful trader. But like guy seeking gold and diamonds.... some are successful and most are not.
I made millions trading. I paid HUGE taxes (ordinary income tax rates of 40% or so) and I lost millions trading. Overall I was successful at it. But was "I" successful or was it just the market period I was trading in? I think it was the market that made me look good. It was easy.
I've made WAY MORE investing than I did trading. It just doesn't seem like it.
