Day Traders Losing Money
from the wow-what-a-shock dept
USA Today has a really amazing story: day traders are losing money, especially now that the market has been down over the past month. They, of course, ignore the fact that plenty of day traders were losing money all along. Of course, if you just look at the stocks the main person in the story picked (including CyberShop and OneMain.com) it's really not that big of a surprise to find out she doesn't know much about the companies she's investing in. While I, personally, don't have much of an opinion on the "internet bubble", I do know the difference between investing in a loser company and one that is a serious business.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
