I still make a fair amount of day trades when I see inefficiencies that I feel I can capitalize on, and I’ll continue to do so for as long as there are opportunities to pull some profits out of the market, in spite of the ongoing debate about day trading.

Poor guy! I'm with you and agree it is important to diversify timeframes for investing/trading. That only serves to provide more input on how the market is moving across timeframes, but also helps when performance is sub-par in either effort as one can pick up the slack from the other if needed. Thanks for your input! Jeff Hey Brian,

I chuckled while reading your post, regarding Mr. Farr's comments. He should not comment on something he is completely ignorant on. Personally, I have systems that daytrade, as well as systems that hold medium-term. This gives me more diversification, and the ability to adjust to changing markets. Jeff,
