      Day Traders can, in essence, learn to count cards and beat the house.When a Day Trader develops the requisite skills, he or she becomes thehouse, rather than the gambler. Although each trade may result in a netgain or loss (as is the case at the blackjack table), over time astatistical advantage will yield a consistent return. The more tools a DayTrader has, the more he or she can shift the odds in his or her favor. Whenyou have a statistical advantage, you are no longer gambling, in my humbleopinion. (So there, Grandma.)
