Quote from ashatet:
with suckers and mom and pop investors missing from action, it is very difficult to make money now. You are trading against the HFT and hedge fund traders, who do you think has an edge now. You might get a good trade here and there, but it is a suckers bet now. The time to make money was from 1995 to 2007.
this is just not true, if by "make money" you mean invest in bubbles and profit from huge bubbles, yes it was easier, trading is still very much alive
a suckers bet? hardly man, hardly at all....
it's definitely not easy anymore
