Something Interesting

So, I'm reading a book called "Day Trading, for Dummies" (you guessed it). Anyway, I'm only in the second chapter and the Author begins a paragraph with an interview of a very successful day trader named James Okada Lee "..a day trader in Tokyo and proprietor of the Traders Laboratory (www.traderslaboratory.com) answered a few questions about what he does and why he does it..."

Immediately I was like, "Hey, I read those forums" and though others may find it interesting as well. His answers are pretty interesting. Especially the part where he says "...90 percent of my trading was self-taught through trial and error." Which is interesting, because before I'm even willing to put any real money on the line, I'm trying to really educate myself first. This is the third book I started reading, and as cliche of a handbook that it may be, it's probably the most detailed so far.
