    gts may very well be right. However, he cannot deny that there are
    some people who can produce a reasonable income (I consider 6 figures
    reasonable for any occupation) solely by buying and selling stock.

    This all reminds me of a cliche: "It's better to be lucky than good."

    Those folks making a reasonable income may not be any "better" than
    anyone else since there's no "scientific" way of "beating" the market,
    so it's all 50/50 whether you win or lose ... but they're obviously
    consistently lucky enough to be winning more often than losing.
