    I day traded for several months. Mostly lost little bits here and there over time. Hit a $5k win on a leveraged bet and went out on a high note. I bet that good earnings by Apple would mean good earnings by MS later that same week. And then I retired from day trading because even the piddly amounts I was making and losing were stressful.

    Someone could make a real killing betting on when this administration was going to try to steal another $500m from the market, though — if they got it right.
