Baron should delete "elite" from his website. Or replace it by "wannebe".
Decades ago the financial barrier to trade was big, resulting in selecting who could trade and who could not. Result was that only people who had money, an education, and knowledge about trading could participate.
Nowadays no education is needed anymore, and you can be a "trader" by investing $100, or even less.
The number of people that started trading went up massively, but the average "trader" today has less than 25% of the qualifications that traders had a few decades ago.
