Everyone around here knows I'm pretty conservative and level-headed but I say go ahead and day trade. Most of us who are interested in the market have done it at one time or another or at least thought about doing it. Until you do it and lose your stake, you will continue to think that it is the path to easy money like you see on TV. So take $1,000 and have fun. Maybe you'll make a few bucks. Maybe you'll lose $1,000. But you'll learn some valuable lessons in the process.
