‘Day Trading’ is a highly dangerous and speculative activity,
not very far from being labelled gambling. Most probably day
traders are addicted.
Another reason is gamblers invariably try to recover the
gambling losses by doubling their bets - with the hope and self promise that
once they have recovered past losses they will quit. In reality this does not
happen and they sink deeper and deeper into losses.

fundamental facts of stock market investing:
