A very best to you in your day trading activities. I've tried day trading many MANY times before, and 8 out of 10 times, I would give it all up in some stupid trade that just crushes my profits. The problem with me is that I don't quit while I'm ahead. I also love going 3:1 leveraged when buying things. Eventually, things go wrong, and I blow myself up. Then, I start cursing the stupidity of the world, but really, it's just me that's stupid! :) Here's hoping for a rebound this week, like Europe did on Friday! @trader
