Is day trading worth it?

I would not be surprised if you have good results but I am surprised or disappointed you don't seek a more productive use of your time. Perhaps I'm only seeing a limited sample of your interactions over a limited timespan but .... From what I've read of your older posts I want to believe you have the potential to lead some interesting discussions. Sorry if that offends you because it's not intended to. It's just an observation to get you to question what you're doing.
Surf, I am already more than 10 years on ET. I changed my name frequently, or posted simultaneously under a few names because I wanted, and still want, to stay anonymous. I learned over time not to go into discussions here. I have lots of interesting discussions with traders, but not here. I became more cautious.
 
On the basis I hate liars and BSers and wannabe's and they normally try to make the profitable traders sound like fools to boost there losing ego's, where did you post this so I can verify ??

Look up surf report in journals. There are several since 2002.

Why post here at all?? I don't see the point of posting with your name changes and wanting to stay anonymous.

Please help me understand. You enjoy interesting discussion and I understand you already get some of that need fulfilled but why do you feel you have to be cautious about trying to get more of that same interesting discussion ...while you're here?
 
Cannot give examples because it would ruin my anonymity. But for some people here I was apparently very useful when I read my PM's. Where I live I don't know any trader, and from all the people I know nobody has any clue what I do, and they cannot understand it. So I live (not literally) on an island. Reading ET takes me out of my isolation.

Nothing wrong with that--- but why be anonymous?

Bashers, or people who are only interested in making others ridiculous. When I came here many years ago I was naive but I learned quickly what to tell and what not to tell. Unfortunately, the result was that many things from which I thought that they could be discussed here, were not posted anymore by me. I don't need others to help me become a better trader. So now I play and try to keep everything humoristic. But I realize that this attitude blocks a lot of potential and interesting things from being discussed. Eventually poster's behaviour defines what kind (quality) of forum you have.

Ok, I can't say I understand but I appreciate your sharing and thank you for chatting with me briefly. I hope everything continues like it is and you keep getting what you want. I'm not opposed to the bantering but you appear to me to have more substance than those caught up in that stuff.

I'll try and make it to your next meeting down here. I think I know half of those in attendance last time. Don't worry, I only said nice things about you to them.....I am taking a wild guess that you are much different in person then the clown on here. We can square away then....
