    I’m all for trying to make it out, but for most people day trading in particular is a terrible idea and 90%+ lose money. I think most people would be better advised to just dump money into an index fund or other longer term investment and not think about it too much, at least that way you are betting on the market as a whole rather than your personal trading skills vs pros, which isn’t likely to work out.

      I would agree. Put money where you said. Then try what I said if they can figure it out and be successful great go for it, if not at least they have the fund.
