Totally agree. Very very very few will get rich, much less have a significant portfolio by day trading. I couldn't imagine the complexity of filing my taxes too if I were day trading. What a nightmare.

Investing is REALLY simple assuming:

1) You're patient and in it for the long haul
2) You select a few well chosen index funds, stocks, bonds (you don't need some massive portfolio)
3) You're not a get rich quick type
4) You get started early and put in as much as you can afford
