From my reading it seems that day trading involves moving in and out of trades quickly - how much would you need to be investing to make this worthwhile? Over the last couple of months, things seem to be moving rather slowly?
One of the guys I look up to in trading says, it is less risky what you know can happen in a day that what will happen in months or years thus he prefers day trading. But one study suggests that short term trading and investing long term both can get the same profit in the same period of time. So the bottomline is what's your playing style. Are you the one who likes the thrill or patiently enough to wait for your gains.
