Fucking Politicians...

sweet gig if you can get it.

For us plebs that's called insider trading and carries stiff criminal penalties.

The stock market is so incredibly rigged against the average Joe it isn't funny. I checked into day trading a couple years ago to see how it works. The average person can't, well you could but you won't make any money. You need to maintain $25,000 (I believe) in your account, cash at all times. That doesn't count the money in stocks you own. If you don't have that balance you will be "flagged" as a day trader if you buy and sell the same stocks in a certain timeframe. And your account suspended from trading for a time period.

If you happen to make any money at it anyway, you can be charged upwards of 50% tax on it. Now if you maintain the $25k balance, you can do whatever the fuck you want...

And it's huge! Very wide and deep

...forex.
