> I am disturbed to see so much enthusiasm here for "trading"

It is lots of fun. Very mathy. A nerd's dream.

Then the data. Oh the amount of data. 34 Gbit/s to get the full US options feed last I checked (someone posted that here I think). Much of the rest is kiddie stuff compared to dealing with that.

People can lament has much as they want that it drains the great minds: it is fun.

I didn't invent that game. Don't blame the players.
