How to piss a Day Trader Off 8/31/2007

The names and places have been changed to protect the innocent (but I am Bob):

Mike: How's the trading going today?

Bob: I made a couple of hundred in AKS and YM.

Mike: What is AKS's name and what do they do? (he finds a piece a paper to write on)

Bob: I don't know their name and I think they are some type of Steel company.

Mike: You DON'T know their name? So what is their P/E?

Bob: Mike - I am a Daytrader. I do not care about P/E's most of the time.

Mike: How can you not know the P/E and still invest in a company?

Bob: I am a daytrader - Mike, a daytrader. I only held the stock for 15 minutes.

Mike: I still don't know how you don't know the P/E. What does YM do?

Bob: Mike - YM is the Dow Jones futures.

Mike: But I thought the Dow only had Diamonds or something on it?

Bob: (now getting irritated) Never mind Mike.....

Mike: Bob - how does the chart look of XYZ?

Bob: The chart sucks Mike, I am sorry to say.

Mike: Well I am an investor. I bought it in 1997 and I don't care what the charts says. I believe this company will make a ton of money for me one day.

Bob: (just shakes his head knowing Mike was up 400% at one point in 2000 and is now down 70%) So Mike, what is the P/E of XYZ?

Mike: I do not know. I need to look that up one of these days.

Bob: (now is hitting his head on the wall)

Mike: Maybe you shouldn't be daytrading Bob. It looks like you are a little stressed there. Maybe at least you should do a little investing or try decaf.

Bob: AGGGHHHH (as he runs out of the room)

Mike yells: Maybe we can watch Cramer later?
