A Harsh Rebuke of Day Trading… (yikes)

The Stock Trading Reality Podcast

I believe it’s safe to say this person does not like day trading… at all! In a recent YouTube comment someone brought a flame thrower and, in their opinion, torched day trading as a money making income stream. He made several claims that I want to address as it kills a few birds with one stone. Discussing these claims helps not only dispel them as very weak, but also helps build a better context for aligning reality and expectations. I’d hate to see someone avoid day trading because of these kinds of thoughts; however, there are minor pieces of truth to them, so I want to be sure that beginners have a firm grounding in reality. This person was quite harsh, so let’s consider their critiques and think through them together!
