BA, Maybe you have not noticed lately the majority of the stock market including hedge funds are basically day traders. The days of holding stock longs have become a principle of the past. High tech trading has become the norm.Traders are making sometimes 10-20% or higher in a day. Why would somebody want to wait a year maybe to make a 5-7% return if they are lucky.I did not make the system the way it now, but to be successful investor you have to change with the times or be left behind. Are you ready to change ? imo
