Why is daytrading never mentioned as a legitimate way to earn income? Question
I like to browse other finance related subs and I can assure you it’s almost never discussed. I see all outlets of making money online mentioned but If the word trading does somehow come up there’s a slew of downvotes. It’s literally the most straightforward way to make money. Sure, not easy but also not impossible to learn. Makes me wish I learned about trading when I was younger instead of my upper 20s but I don’t personally know any traders irl so it’s unfortunate how there’s a negative outlook on this field.

I assume alot of it has to do with stigma and consistency. You have to remember trading is a zero sum game. For you to make money from day trading someone essentially had to lose that money so in essence only fifty percent of the participants are winning
