You are a gambler.
I don't gamble, I trade!
It was a different time, though. Trading in the pit required a different skillset and most of those guys failed once the markets went electronic.
You must have participated in penis size contests once upon a time.
Reminder: being a professional trader is a serious job.
I am a professional trader. 30 years old now, never had another job. In all seriousness, to be the biggest/best day trader in the world you do have to trade some big size. For those who don't know, this guy is worth like 9 figures and he's using this as a substitute for his sports betting addiction. With the sports world out of business right now he's taken up day trading. He has a chatroom.
He's dropping f-bombs into the IB feed so I guess he's a big deal
It's certainly possible if he buys through a rounded figure. He's trading on Etrade I think. I don't know what darkpool order types they have. He had 90k shares of NKE which is more illiquid lol.
So this guy is worth 9 figures and has a chat room?
As the old Jewish joke goes “if I were a king, I’d live better than a king because I’d still do some tailoring on the side”.
He likes attention and has 1.2 million followers on Twitter. He's not running a scam like most chatroom guys though. His Twitter account even says, "El Presidente/3 time Bee Sting survivor. I own a ton of Penn Stock. I’m not a financial advisor. Don’t trust anything I say about stocks or my gambling picks". I think he's mostly just doing all this, because he's bored. He's a sports guy and there's no sports now.
