Publisher's Synopsis
The growth of the Internet and thus, an increase of online trading platforms opened new doors, doors for individuals to break into the trading field. No longer was stock trading esoteric to those well-off, but it became available for you and your next-door neighbor. And these trading platforms also came with another advantage - you could put in money and get it back in the short-term, within days or weeks. Day trading is the purchase and sale of securities and stocks within a day. Though the basic is the same as that of a long-term investor - buy low and sell high, day trading takes place within a compressed period - a day.
