Seems pretty risky considering you have to invest a lot of money to make any sort of decent profit, and if you invest in the wrong thing at the wrong time you could lose big

Think about how many hedge funds powered by hundreds of nerdy PhD's with access to an insane amount of data manage to post losses

might as well just go to the casino

Well I would do it with extra cash after my main safe investments and the goal would just be to make extra pocket change. So low risk low reward but it's something

One thing to keep in mind about day trading is that your gains are taxed at a higher rate than long-term investments.

It's basically just gambling unless you're in a position to inside-trade >_>

As I've always said insider trading is the one crime everyone wishes they could commit.

My get rich strategy is to take like $10,000, find 10 promising penny stocks to put $1000 each into, and then just set some price alerts and otherwise forget about it

If only I had an extra $10,000

I wouldn't recommend it. You'll probably be better off just putting money into an ETF that tracks the total market or a segment of it like the S&P500. Just keep adding money when you can and you'll be golden.

It's not impossible to make money doing it but unless you already have a ton of money to utilize it's difficult to build up to a point where it may replace your regular day job. And it's even harder to be consistent over a long period of time. You really need to have control of your emotions cause one loss can lead to ruin if you allow it to. Just because you did well one year doesn't mean next year will be the same, especially times like now where it's tough to know what things will be like from one day to the next.
