Yes, you read right. When I was young, and in the navy I was on submarines and would be out of contact for three months at a time. When I got out of the navy I became a truck driver. At that time, my plans had been to save my money and invest in a used truck, and hopeful add more trucks as time went on. How ever fate stepped in and I came down with Psoriasis, which caused Arthritis that was bad enough that I could no longer drive a tractor trailer. That happened in Aug of 1996. The company that I worked for did not offer disablty insurance, so by feb of 1998 when I first got my social security disablity check. My nest egg was gone, the VA was forced by law to forclose on my house and I was close to $6000 in debt on credit cards. I now have a trailer house that cost $4,500 with a lot rent of $200, and I have worked the debt down to around $3,000. I hope to have the debt down to zero in about two years. At that time I plan to start investing between $50 and $100 a month into the stock market.
Just fwiw I made 43 buys and 43 sells today so I'm flat at the close for overnight. I usually trade the after hours session too but not tonight. I'm unwinding!
Offhand I would say that makes you a day trader.
