Oh, amateur "traders" took a bath on it. I don't feel sorry for the idiot who takes etrade stock advice from a talking baby commercial and then blows his money thinking somehow he's going to game the system. It's the same to me as the loser who thinks he's going to beat Vegas.

It's a hustle, it's rigged, and it's rigged to take advantage of idiots. Sometimes the only way to win us to not play the game. -Sound familiar?
